A Slice Above The Rest
Cannoli Kitchen Pizza Creates a Slice of Tradition, Innovation and Community in West Boca Raton.
January 17th, 2025
For nearly three decades, Cannoli Kitchen Pizza has been serving up authentic, fast and fresh Italian cuisine in South Florida. Originally established 27 years ago in Boca Raton, this family-friendly eatery has grown into a beloved local institution known for blending tradition with innovation. Now, with six thriving locations including the latest in West Boca Raton and ambitious plans for national expansion—including new stores in Texas, Michigan, and Orlando—Cannoli Kitchen Pizza is on the cusp of becoming a household name.
At Cannoli Kitchen, the secret is in the details. Every pizza, pasta, and cannoli is crafted with the freshest ingredients, from premium meats and cheeses to vine-ripened tomatoes and hand-selected herbs. “Fast, Fresh Italian” isn’t just a slogan—it’s the heart of their operation. Everything is prepared on-site to ensure every bite bursts with flavor. Whether it’s a classic pepperoni pizza, their special Chicken Parm or Eggplant Parm pizza or their signature Grandma’s Pie—featuring homemade marinara, fresh mozzarella, parmesan, basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil—you can taste the passion and quality in every dish.

However, while their pizza is undoubtedly the star of the show, the menu goes far beyond pies. The wings, for example, are a showstopper in their own right, with mouthwatering options like Mango Habanero, Teriyaki and Barbecue.

Add to that are their soups, salads, hearty pastas, calzones, strombolis, and, of course, their namesake cannolis, and you’ve got an Italian feast that hits all the right notes. As one young diner, Zaccai Toliver, put it: “The slices are huge! I love the sauce, the pepperoni, the cheese—and even the crust, which I normally take off!”
Cannoli Kitchen’s appeal isn’t just about the food—it’s about the experience. Walking into one of their locations feels like stepping into a neighborhood gathering spot where everyone knows your name. It’s a place where the smiling managers genuinely get to know the customers, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re dining in, picking up, or ordering online, you’ll feel right at home.
Thanks to modern technology, Cannoli Kitchen has streamlined the art of Italian cooking without sacrificing quality. Conveyor belt ovens deliver perfectly cooked pizzas in minutes, while dough presses ensure consistency and speed. This blend of old-world flavor and new-world efficiency allows the team to handle everything from casual dine-ins to catering events for hundreds of guests. Whether it’s a medical facility, a car dealership, or hosting a birthday party on location complete with Carvel ice cream next door, Cannoli Kitchen makes every occasion special.
As they prepare to open new locations across the country, Cannoli Kitchen remains committed to its roots. The focus is always on fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and creating a welcoming environment for all. Manager David Thompson sums it up best: “It’s not just about the food—it’s about the connection. When people walk through our doors, we want them to feel like family.”
So, the next time you’re craving Italian food, skip the usual and head to Cannoli Kitchen Pizza. With its unbeatable combination of flavor, freshness, and community, it’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more. From the first bite to the last, it’s not just a meal—it’s an experience.
Order online or visit this welcoming spot located at 9180 Glades Rd in Boca Raton, Cannoli Kitchen Pizza will be ready to serve up your next favorite dish.

This 10-seat omakase opening in Miami is about to be one of the hardest reservations to get. Takay on Coral Way combines high-level sushi, intentional design, and a guest experience that feels personal from start to finish.
March 17, 2026
Miami, if you love a beautifully done omakase, this is one to have on your radar.
There is a new omakase concept opening this spring on Coral Way, and it already feels like the kind of place people will be trying to get into early. Takay is an intimate 10-seat experience created by founders Glen Kotlyarski and Yoni Matz, bringing together serious culinary pedigree with a very intentional, guest-focused vision.
Let’s start with the people behind it, because that is really what defines this concept.
Chef Glen Kotlyarski leads the culinary experience, bringing more than 2 decades of fine-dining expertise. His background includes the Jean Georges group and Miami’s Michelin-starred Hidden, and that level of precision and discipline is felt in every course. His approach draws from traditional Edomae sushi techniques, while staying grounded in seasonality and balance.
Alongside him, co-founder Yoni Matz brings a strong hospitality perspective shaped by years of building and operating restaurant concepts. His influence is clear in the overall experience, which is designed to feel warm, welcoming, and engaging rather than overly formal or intimidating.
And you feel that from the moment you arrive.
The space, designed by Japan based architecture firm KTX, is quietly stunning. Guests enter through a Japanese Zen garden, setting a calm and intentional tone before stepping inside. The interior blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with subtle Miami influence, featuring natural materials, soft lighting, and a sculptural wooden wave installation inspired by The Great Wave off Kanagawa. The entire room is designed to slow you down and bring your attention fully into the experience.
Takay’s omakase follows a classic Edomae style, with two nightly seatings, each centered on a 17- or 20-course progression. Seafood is flown in from Japan and paired with seasonal ingredients from local farms, allowing the menu to evolve continuously.
The experience moves through sashimi, nigiri, and composed dishes, with each course prepared directly in front of guests and thoughtfully explained. It feels interactive, personal, and immersive, making the entire evening feel intentional.
It strikes that rare balance where the experience feels polished and high-level, but still comfortable enough to fully enjoy without overthinking it.
When it opens, Takay will offer a 17-course signature omakase at $225 per person and a 20-course extended omakase at $275. Each seating includes a welcome beverage, with optional sake, champagne, and wine pairings available.
Takay is located at 2296 Coral Way in Miami and will be open Tuesday through Saturday with seatings at 6 pm and 9 pm.
In a city known for large, high-energy dining scenes, Takay introduces something a little more intimate and intentional. It is the kind of place that focuses on the details, and those are usually the ones that stand out the most.
Reservations are expected to be limited. Learn more HERE
