When we first heard that a restaurant in Miami was serving Cuban sandwich pizza, we were beyond intrigued — and maybe a little skeptical. The internet was divided on the idea, because of course it was.

Some thought the pizza-Cuban sandwich hybrid was monstrosity, others thought it was ingenious.
Of course, the recent positive review by Miami.com’s Howard Cohen has dispelled the notion that this pizza is simply a gimmick. The ingredients come together to provide a crispy, tangy, melty slice of Miami flavor.

Only in Miami baby! Now that’s how you #genuinecubano launch day🕺🏽Thank you @versaillesmiami
The foodie behemoth is the result of a partnership between Versailles Cuban restaurant and Harry’s Pizzeria and Genuine Pizza, and they are a trio made in culinary heaven.
The pizza features layers of mustard sauce, bread-and-butter pickles and a mix of fontina and gruyere cheeses. It’s topped off with roast pork and cured ham.

𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮! With extra croquetas of course 😋 @harryspizzeria X @versaillesmiami new Pizza Cubano: Roasted Pork, Glazed Ham, Bread & Butter Pickles, Mustard Sauce, Fontina and Gruyére Cheeses, topped with one Versailles Croquetas! Available starting Monday 🏃♀️ #PHAAT #genuinecubano
These ingredients orbit around a crispy croqueta at the center. That golden-brown gem is irresistible. While just one croqueta should suffice, we wouldn’t blame you if you ordered a few extra.
The pizza costs $16.00 and is available at Harry’s Pizzeria and Genuine Pizza restaurants in the Design District, Downtown Dadeland, Coconut Grove and Aventura Mall, according to a press release.
