Miami is many things: a beach town, a nightlife capital and a place where people\u00a0will gladly queue\u00a0for a cafecito. But increasingly, it’s also becoming one of the country’s most serious pizza destinations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s according to the newly released 50 Top Pizza USA 2026 ranking<\/a>, one of the world’s most influential pizza guides, which just named three Miami pizzerias among the top 15 in the United States\u2014and gave the city another major nod in its ranking of the country’s best slice shops.<\/p>\n

Leading the local charge is Francesco Martucci<\/a>, which landed at No. 5 nationally, making it the highest-ranked Florida pizzeria on the list. The restaurant finished behind only a handful of heavy hitters, including New York’s top-ranked Una Pizza Napoletana and California standouts Pizzeria Sei and Tony’s Pizza Napoletana.<\/p>\n

Two more local favorites\u2014La Leggenda<\/a> and ‘O Munaciello<\/a>\u2014tied for 11th place nationwide, giving Miami three pizzerias in the guide’s top 15. That’s a remarkable showing for a city that, until relatively recently, wasn’t exactly mentioned in the same breath as New York or Naples when pizza debates broke out.<\/p>\n

And if your pizza preference involves a quick foldable slice rather than a sit-down pie, Miami earned another bragging right. Miami Slice was named the third-best pizza slice shop in the country, trailing only New York’s L’Industrie Pizzeria and Washington, D.C.’s Slice & Pie.<\/p>\n

The rankings were unveiled on Wednesday during an awards ceremony in New York. This year’s guide features 116 pizzerias across 29 states, with Florida earning 10 total entries\u2014trailing only New York and California for overall representation.\u00a0For a city better known for stone crabs and Cuban sandwiches, that’s a pretty impressive slice of recognition.<\/p>\n
