Mister O1 is a modern, conceptual and trendy pizzeria. We are that famous hidden place in Coconut Grove.
Chef Renato Viola was born in Italy and developed a passion for baking at a very young age, taking his first job in a pizzeria at just 11 years old. As he mastered traditional dough-making techniques, he also trained extensively in the competitive art of pizza acrobatics (the high-skill sport of spinning and throwing raw dough). He became a prominent member of the prestigious Italian Acrobatic Pizza Team, traveling throughout Europe to showcase pizza as an art form. In 2010, he relocated to Miami, opening a tiny, sign-less pizzeria hidden on the first floor of a South Beach office building. The restaurant’s name, “Mister O1”, directly honors the O-1 Visa granted to him by the U.S. government, an exclusive visa reserved solely for individuals demonstrating extraordinary talent and international achievement.
