Brazilian Food in Central Florida: What Pie-fection Serves Beyond Pizza
Searching for Brazilian food in Central Florida usually starts with a craving for something specific — catupiry, calabresa, maybe a plate of coxinha — and ends up at a menu that goes well beyond what most people expect from a pizza restaurant. Pie-fection Pizza builds its entire Brazilian-Italian identity around real Brazil food, served across three locations: Kissimmee, Orlando’s Metrowest neighborhood, and Windermere. Browse the full menu to see how far it extends.
Traditional Brazilian Food on the Menu
Traditional Brazilian food shows up long before the pizza section. Coxinha — breaded dough stuffed with shredded chicken and fried, six to an order — is a Brazilian street-food staple, alongside Escondidinho de Carne Seca, a creamy cassava purée layered with shredded dried beef and gratinated to a golden crust. The Brazilian Picanha Steak Skewer arrives with vinaigrette and farofa, and Catupiry — a creamy Brazilian cheese spread, not a sharp cream cheese — anchors dishes across the menu rather than sitting in one corner of it. For a deeper look at how these flavors fit together, see our guide to Brazilian flavors and the culture behind Brazil cuisine.
Brazil’s Most Famous Food, Reimagined as Pizza
Brazil’s famous food gets its most literal translation on the pizza itself. The Pie-Fection pizza — the restaurant’s namesake pie — layers grilled steak, vinaigrette, and Catupiry on a warm crust, while the Stroganoff pizza turns steak stroganoff sauce and crispy potato sticks into a topping instead of a plate. Paraíba pairs jerked beef (carne seca) with caramelized banana and a light touch of Catupiry, and Sertaneja does the same jerked beef with red onions and Kalamata olives. Our full breakdown of the Brazilian stroganoff pizza covers exactly how that dish crosses over.
