The most prestigious Italian pizza guide has released its annual lists of the best pizzerias around the world, and several Miami spots have made the list, including a beloved slice shop and a swanky new(ish) restaurant in Wynwood.<\/p>\n

Sometimes referred to as the \u201cMichelin Guide\u201d of pizza, 50 Top Pizza<\/a> has released its annual rankings in several categories, including the top 50 pizza spots in the United States and the best slice shops.<\/p>\n

Three Miami-area restaurants were mentioned in the top 50 pizzerias in the U.S., and the highest was Francesco Martucci Miami in Wynwood at no. 5. Martucci, whose restaurant I Masanelli in Caserta, Italy, was ranked the best pizza restaurant in the world, opened the Miami restaurant<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is just a bit more expensive than you\u2019d expect at your typical neighborhood pizzeria, which probably doesn\u2019t offer a $200 tasting menu with three pizza tastings, cacio e pepe tortellini, grilled wagyu A5 and Sichuan pepper gelato for dessert.<\/p>\n

The guide praised the restaurant\u2019s \u201cuncompromising quality\u201d as well as its \u201cattentive\u201d service.<\/p>\n

\"La<\/p>\n

La Leggenda Pizzeria on Miami Beach was one of two Miami-area restaurants named one of the top 50 pizzerias in the U.S. <\/p>\n

Also making the list were annual favorites La Leggenda in Miami Beach and O \u2018Munaciello on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami, which were tied at no. 11 for best in the country. Both restaurants are known for their Neapolitan-style pies.<\/p>\n

The best pizza restaurant in the U.S.A., according to 50 Top Pizza, is Una Pizza Napoletana on New York\u2019s Lower East Side.<\/p>\n

Best slices in the U.S.\"La<\/p>\n

La Salsera pizza, with a pesto swirl atop marinara and vodka sauce, from Miami Slice. The downtown pizzeria is opening a new restaurant in Coconut Grove.<\/p>\n

In the best slice category, the downtown hot spot Miami Slice, which started as delivery and pop-up shop in 2019, was ranked no. 3 in the country. 50 Top Pizza praised its thin, crispy pizza (that is of course perfect for folding).<\/p>\n

The restaurant, which takes no reservations and only has a few seats, was praised for its \u201cgreat personality and its own American identity: urban, precise, immediate,\u201d the guide wrote. \u201cAn essential address to understand the evolution of the slice in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miami Slice, which is preparing to open a new location in Coconut Grove soon, responded on its Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis award means so much to us,\u201d the post said. \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t be where we are today without every person involved and the late nights put in along the way. Feeling grateful and proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

The best slice pizza, according to the guide, comes from L\u2019Industrie Pizzeria in New York, which is known for a slice smothered in Burrata. There are locations in Little Italy, the West Village and Williamsburg.<\/p>\n

Other \u2018excellent\u2019 pizzerias<\/p>\n

50 Top Pizza also created a list of what it calls \u201cexcellent\u201d pizzerias worth checking out, including La Natural in Little River, Il Pizzaiolo in Miami Beach and Key West\u2019s Roostica. La Natural owner and chef Javier Ramirez was named one of the World\u2019s Top Pizzaioli<\/a> (pizza chefs) at the 2025 Best Pizza Awards in Milan.<\/p>\n
