Steve's Pizza West

The story of Steve's Pizza is a story of family and friendship...

Stevie Siegel was the original "Steve" of Steve's Pizza, which opened in 1972 in North Miami Beach on 164th Street and 22nd Avenue. Shortly after, in 1973, Stevie went into business with his childhood friend Allen Valinsky and the two opened Steve's South on South Dixie Highway in Perrine. In 1974, the opening of a third location on Biscayne Boulevard encouraged Allie to reach out to his cousin and close friend, Hyman Storch to ask if he would be willing to come to Florida to learn the pizza business. Hy, who was living in New York and working as an electrician, wanted to be close to his family and agreed to purchase Steve's South in 1979 and went on to build and run a successful business that survived hurricane Andrew and fed families in the region for over two decades. In 2001, after selling Steve's South to former employees, Hy built Steve's West on Kendall Drive and ran it for ten years. In 2013, he sold the business to his friend and respected employee, Seve Cacari, who continues to run it to this day!
