When one thinks of Miami Beach, usually we think of it being one of the top vacation destinations, with its Art Deco architecture and gorgeous beaches. Miami also has some of the greatest pizza places on earth!

1. Miami’s Fratelli la Bufala is impressive, particularly to those originating from New York, as many swear they cannot find good pizza elsewhere. Like New York style pizza, it has flavorful thin crust, particularly topped with eggplant. Located on Washington Ave, it serves authentic and affordable Italian food.

2. For the best Miami Beach pizza, piping hot visit Pizza Fiore and you will not be disappointed! An outstanding selection is their Salsa Pomodoro, topped with sun-dried tomatoes, basil and chicken. They also serve incredible manicotti and garlic knots brimming of olive oil!

3. Gina Pizza Italian Ristorante is open late night, perfect for meals or grabbing a slice of their perfectly cooked pizza, especially their shrimp scampi, tomato and basil. The food is always fresh and flavorful like their eggplant parmigiana and antipasto salad.

4. While the name might not sound Italian, Pizza Dude serves absolutely yummy pizza with a crispy crust. This is affordable pizza offering the usual toppings like spinach, mushrooms and grilled chicken but cooked to perfection. For something out of the ordinary try their Nutella pizza (with strawberries and bananas).

5. George’s Restaurant & Lounge offers attentive service and it is not very expensive. It is a wonderful restaurant for meals like spaghetti and meatballs but their pizza is flavorful and not too salty where you must drink a gallon of water afterwards. Great salads also, with lots of care.

6. Spris presents their food beautifully and it is satisfying, even their complimentary bread with olive oil. This is a casual place to dine with friends and enjoy mouth-watering authentic pizza, like traditional margarita (available gluten free if desired) and meals like Marco Polo chicken.

7. Pizza Rustica is definitely one of the best pizza places on Miami Beach and will keep you coming back for more! They create out-of-this-world pizza with its fabulous crust and substantial toppings! When seated indoors or out, don’t leave without also trying their juicy and fresh shrimp pizza and large salads with fresh garlic bread sticks.

8. For extra-large slices of pizza visit Primo Pizza on Collins Avenue. It’s a simple eatery but it satisfies a late night pizza craving, particularly their margarita (with fresh tomato, mozzarella and garlic). Don’t hesitate to try their chicken calzones. Simple but delicious!

9. Master’s Pizza Pasta & Grill obviously puts lots of careful thought into every meal they create. If you are willing to try some unique pizza do stop here for the Chicago stuffed deep dish pizza, it is super filling with lots of oozy cheese. They also deliver!

10. La Locanda provides a great atmosphere for families or couples. Besides wonderful pizza, try the ragu” pasta and do not leave without a slice of tiramisu and a cappuccino!
