Francesco Martucci is a famous Italian pizzaiolo who\u2019s racked up numerous \u201cworld\u2019s best\u201d accolades for his light-as-air Neapolitan pies and signature \u201cpizza a due temperature,\u201d made with dough that\u2019s fried before being baked in the wood-fired oven. Outside of his Caserta restaurant, I Masanielli (named one of Food & Wine\u2019s Top 20 Restaurants of 2025), Francesco Martucci Miami is the pizza chef\u2019s only other outpost anywhere. It\u2019s landed in Wynwood, a neighborhood already fairly crowded with great pizza options\u2014and while we\u2019re not sure it fully lives up to the massive hype, Martucci makes for a solid stop on any Miami pizza tour.<\/p>\n
The vibe: Clad in dark wood and leather with dim lighting, soaring ceilings and a Vespa motorbike strung up overhead, the dining room is sleek and masculine without coming off as too serious. It\u2019s great for a date night that feels more elevated than your usual mid-week pizza, or for a festive and unfussy group outing. We were warmly received and in good company dining with our toddler on a recent rainy Friday evening.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The food: We started with the Insalata di Funghi Assoluti, a colorful heap of fried and marinated organic local mushrooms, mizuna micro herbs, watercress and nasturtium herbs. The Tortelli Cacio e Pepe was a nice counterbalance to that tangy and textural opener, smooth and rich with pecorino Romano DOP, white chocolate and cracked black pepper filling, layered with a 36-month Parmigiano Reggiano cream sauce.<\/p>\n
From the two-temperature pizzas, keep it simple and order the DOC. The crust defies logic, a sturdy yet delicate vehicle for San Marzano tomato DOP, fior di latte, 36-month Parmigiano and cherry tomato confit. The classic Neapolitan pies come in deliciously creative combinations, such as the Mani di Velluto made with friarielli cream with buffalo milk, hand-cut pork sausage with fennel, aged pecorino Romano DOP and extra-virgin olive oil. We\u2019d gladly re-order either of these pizzas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The drink: Cocktails are slung from a large and handsome bar that\u2019d make a fun spot for catching up with a friend over a pizza and negronis. Starting at $20, they\u2019re not cheap, but these drinks are potent and refined, as in the Papaya Tomato White Negroni that’s perfectly balanced with acidified tomato water.<\/p>\n
Time Out tip: If you order a bottle of wine, prepare for it to be fetched by one of Martucci\u2019s dedicated \u201cwine angels,\u201d professional aerialists whose sole responsibility is to scale the massive glass-encased wine cellar and deliver your selection with an excess of flair we imagine only Miami could achieve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Francesco Martucci is a famous Italian pizzaiolo who\u2019s racked up numerous \u201cworld\u2019s best\u201d accolades for his light-as-air Neapolitan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389264,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226,68735,14161,687,155768],"class_list":["post-389263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news","tag-more-recommended","tag-price","tag-restaurants","tag-restaurants-pizza"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
