What Now recently reported that Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza appears to be planning a Bay Harbor Islands location, according to recently submitted plan review paperwork. To this can be added another location, this time in Fort Lauderdale, at 415 NE Fourth St. The Fort Lauderdale Mister O1 opens December 1.
Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza’s name comes from the United States’ O-1 visa, the one that allowed Chef Renato Viola to settle in Miami Beach. It is reserved for those with “extraordinary” artistic ability.
Accordingly, the brand’s elaborate “Extraordinary Pizzas” have included the Coffee Paolo (Italian tomato sauce, mozzarella, gorgonzola blue cheese, natural honey, coffee, spicy salami calabrese) and the Anchovy Bottarga Giampaolo (Italian tomato sauce, fresh burrata Stracciatella, Peruvian Anchovies, Italian bottarga [fish roe], parsley).
For guests looking for something a little more on the “ordinary” side, Mister O1 offers excellent cheese pizzas and pepperoni pizzas, along with—despite the pizza world’s endless pineapple debate—a Hawaiana.
The Northeast Fourth Street location is at the southern end of Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village, just west of North Federal Highway. Other food and drink spots located nearby include Top Hat Deli, Rhythm & Vine, and the Element’s Terrace Grill.
All this goes to show what we were saying before: Mister O1 may be expanding within the US and internationally, but the brand is definitely not neglecting its South Florida home.
