3 FL Pizzerias Ranked Among Top 50 In U.S.
A pizzeria in the Tampa Bay area is among the top 50 pizza places in the U.S., a new list says, along with two restaurants in Miami.
MIAMI, FL — Some of the best pizza in the country is found in Florida, according to the new 50 Top Pizza guide based on the findings of a team of inspectors who anonymously evaluate pizzerias around the world.
“Year after year we are noticing changes in pizzerias across the United States that have led to increasingly interesting ideas and that are good for the entire industry,” guide curators Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro, and Albert Sapere said in a statement. “We would also like to mention that the different styles of pizza that our inspectors get to enjoy are also getting more numerous. This is a good thing because it creates a wider variety for the customer.”
According to their list, the best pizza in Florida is found at 'O Munaciello in Miami and La Leggenda in Miami Beach. The restaurants tied at No. 10 on the list of the nation’s top pizzerias.
