13. Margherita Dop With Black Crust At O’munaciello
There’s a perfectly good reason why this Neapolitan-style pie features a funky-looking dough color. No, it’s not burned. The crust is actually infused with activated charcoal. Cool, right? Add some tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella and basil, and you’ll be good to go.

11. Salami Pizza At Stanzione 87
It sounds weird, but trust us—the tangy combo of spicy salami, spiced honey and homemade mozzarella is heavenly.
87 SW Eighth St., Miami; 786-360-1852 or stanzione87.com
10. Nutella Pizza At Ironside
Would it really be a complete pizza list without a Nutella-smeared, finger-licking-good dessert pie? Yeah, that’s what we thought.
7580 NE Fourth Court, Miami; 305-531-5055 or pizzaironside.com
9. Pepperoni At Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza
This is what we call a feast for the eyes (and our hungry bellies). The combo of thin crust with doughy pointed edges, slightly sweet tomato sauce and discs of fresh mozzarella is the stuff of dreams.
Multiple locations; mistero1.com
8. La Blanca At Pizza Tropical
This N.Y.-style pizzeria (started by a Brooklyn pie master) whips up hot slices layered with ricotta, mozzarella, caramelized onions and toasted sesame seeds. We recommend pairing yours with a strong cafecito. It’s a flawless duo.

3. In Ricotta Da Vegan At Paulie Gee’s
Sure, Paulie Gee’s has a ton of tasty non-vegan options, but this masterpiece with house-made vegan sausage and cashew ricotta dollops is so tasty, it takes the cake—or should we say pie?
8001 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-558-8315 or pauliegee.com
2. Everything Bagel Pizza At The Alley
Pizza topped with smoked wild salmon, whipped cream cheese and capers? We’re just gonna call this breakfast.
1440 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach; 305-760-6903 or thebetsyhotel.com
1. Any Pie At Crust
How do you know a crust is amazing? When they take away the sauce and you don’t even miss it. (Another good indicator may be when the place is actually named Crust.) Either way, it’s too hard to decide between the spinach white cheese, truffled or veggie pie varieties. So, um, we’ll take them all.
