The chorizo pizza at La Farándula makes a clear case for choosing your next pizza by its topping and its cheese-covered edge. Chopped chorizo spreads across a deeply browned surface, with cheese reaching the rim of the round pie. It is an appealing order when a tomato-and-basil pizza isn’t quite what you have in mind.
This is Cuban-style pizza in the West Miami area, at 1200 SW 67th Avenue. La Farándula has other branches, so keep this address with your saved restaurant. A good pizza plan is considerably less useful if it sends everyone to different locations.
An order for two preferences
Chorizo on one side, Hawaiian on the other
Choose chorizo if you want meat spread across the whole pizza. The small pieces cover the cheese rather than arriving as a few isolated rounds, so the topping stays central to the order.
For a table divided over pineapple, a half-chorizo, half-Hawaiian pizza is the more useful choice. Ham and pineapple take one side; chorizo takes the other. You can share a pizza without asking everyone to agree on the same combination.
Start with those two options before working through a longer list of toppings. They give you a simple decision: chorizo throughout, or a second half with the sweetness of pineapple and ham. The split order is our recommendation when different appetites are sharing the table.
What makes this pizza stop different
Put the cheese-covered edge on your list
The cheese reaches right out to the perimeter, where it forms a dark, browned border around the pizza. That detail matters as much as the topping when deciding whether this is the style you’re in the mood for.
It also makes La Farándula a different choice from Mister O1’s Marco in Wynwood, with its arugula, stracciatella and Parmesan. Save both for different days: here, the order to remember is chorizo and browned cheese, with Hawaiian on the other half if you want it.
La Farándula’s pizza-and-milkshake pairing fits the casual meal. A coconut shake is one option if you want a sweet drink alongside the pizza; otherwise, keep the order focused on the pie. There is no obligation to make lunch bigger just because the menu gives you the opportunity.
Save the branch and the topping
Use 1200 SW 67th Avenue for this stop, and check La Farándula’s current menu and opening hours before going. It is an easy restaurant to keep in mind for a relaxed pizza meal, especially when the table wants a familiar ham-and-pineapple option alongside chorizo.
Add La Farándula to Plateback with the location and your preferred combination. After the meal, save your own answer to the useful question: all chorizo next time, or half Hawaiian again?
