Pizza Craft is a small wood-fired pizzeria and speakeasy cocktail bar on Himmarshee Street in downtown Fort Lauderdale, best for date nights, casual Italian dinners, and pre-going-out drinks.

About Pizza Craft Pizzeria & Italian Specialities

Pizza Craft sits right on Himmarshee Street in the middle of Fort Lauderdale’s downtown entertainment district, pulling double duty as a wood-fired pizzeria and a hidden cocktail destination. The main dining room is intentionally small, only five or six tables inside, framed by brick walls and vintage Italian decor, so the energy stays intimate rather than chaotic. A larger patio out front seats eight to twelve under red umbrellas with heaters standing by for cooler evenings, giving you a front-row view of the Himmarshee scene.

The real surprise is The Apothecary, a speakeasy-style room tucked behind the restaurant. It is dim, moody, and built around small cocktail tables rather than full dinner service, the kind of spot you settle into with a well-made drink after your meal or before a night out on the strip.

The kitchen runs Neapolitan-rooted recipes from the owner’s family in Naples, and the wood-fired oven is the centerpiece. Guests consistently single out the truffle mushroom pizza, the fig jam and bacon pie, and the burrata appetizer. The Bucatini Carbonara and chicken parmigiana hold their own against the pizzas, and the tiramisu has a reputation for getting the coffee-to-sweet ratio exactly right. Free cannolis have been known to show up in takeout orders.

The owner is a visible, hands-on presence, greeting tables, checking in throughout the meal, and clearly invested in the experience. Service tends to be friendly and attentive, though the reservation system can feel rigid even on quiet nights, so booking ahead is strongly recommended.

Pizza Craft draws a mix of college-age groups from nearby, downtown tourists walking Himmarshee, and couples looking for a low-key Italian dinner before hitting the neighboring bars. The price point sits comfortably in the moderate range, with individual tabs landing around $40 to $50 for a full meal before tip.

Love the atmosphere!!! We had the tomato & basil pizza which had 6 slices, chicken Parmesan which 2 of us ate with enough left for an additional person, and 3 mozzarella sticks that were huge. I tried the cherry soda and that was delicious as well. It also has a beautiful bar and outdoor space.

A great place to eat. Authentic Italian pizza. Privileged to meet the owner who comes from Italy and who’s grandmother gave him the recipe for his pizza, which hails from the home of pizza in Napoli. The food is off the chain. Really good. The service is exceptional and…

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a reservation at Pizza Craft?

Reservations are strongly recommended. The indoor dining room only has five or six tables, so walk-in availability can be limited even on weeknights. You can book online, though popular evening slots fill up quickly. The outdoor patio and bar area sometimes have more flexibility for walk-ins.

What is The Apothecary at Pizza Craft?

The Apothecary is a speakeasy-style cocktail room attached to the restaurant. It has a dark, intimate atmosphere with small tables and is designed more for drinks than full meals. It is a good option if you want craft cocktails in a moodier setting before or after dinner.

What should I order at Pizza Craft?

The wood-fired pizzas get the most praise, the truffle mushroom, fig jam and bacon, and burrata pies are guest favorites. For pasta, the Bucatini Carbonara is a popular pick. The pear and cheese fiocchi appetizer and the tiramisu are both worth adding to your order.

Is there parking near Pizza Craft?

There is no dedicated lot, but paid parking is available in nearby lots along Himmarshee Street and the surrounding downtown blocks. Street parking can be competitive on weekend evenings when the entertainment district gets busy, so arriving a few minutes early helps.

Is Pizza Craft good for groups?

Groups are common here, but keep the small interior in mind. A party of four to six fits comfortably at the outdoor patio tables, which offer more space and a livelier atmosphere. For larger groups, reserving ahead is essential given the limited seating. Note that the outdoor area picks up bass noise from nearby clubs on busier nights.

What are Pizza Craft’s hours?

Pizza Craft is closed on Mondays. Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, the restaurant is open from noon to 10 PM. Friday and Saturday hours extend to 11 PM, making it a solid option for late-night food on the weekend in the Himmarshee area.
