The 2026 50 Top Pizza list just dropped, and Miami made a tasty showing.

Miami's pizza scene might not be as globally revered as New York's or Chicago's, but it seems like that might be delightfully changing. The 2026 50 Top Pizza rankings just dropped, ranking the best pizza joints around the world based on dough quality, service, settings and beverage programs. And after making a strong showing in the U.S. ranking, Miami scored big alongside global heavyweights in this worldwide ranking.
Leading Miami's representation on the list is Francesco Martucci Miami at number 27. This fine-dining hot spot is known for its indulgent $200 pizza tasting menu. Inspectors were impressed by the dramatic ambiance—highlighted by American-style lighting, designer furnishings, a towering vertical wine cellar and signature Caserta-style caged ovens. Judges praised the uncompromising quality of the dough, attentive service and non-pizza dishes like cacio e pepe tortellini, grilled wagyu A5 and Sichuan pepper gelato.

La Leggenda and 'O Munaciello tied at number 47. La Leggenda earned praise as an authentic benchmark for traditional Neapolitan pie. Inspectors noted its welcoming, casual atmosphere, warm colors and open oven. The judges highlighted the seamless service even during peak hours, well-hydrated direct dough with a soft, well-aired crust and high-quality Italian DOP ingredients such as buffalo mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes.
'O Munaciello in brings vibrant Neapolitan energy to South Florida with colorful seating, Napoli jerseys on the walls and luxe napkins. Judges praised the staff's detailed product knowledge, the excellent eggplant Parmigiana and the perfectly balanced ricotta and salami pizza. Owner and pizza chef Carmine received special recognition for his constant presence at the oven, ensuring top-tier consistency alongside sweet deals like their $10 Tuesday Margherita.
Miami Slice rounds out the worldwide list at number 100. This spot reinterprets New York slice counter culture through a Miami lens. Inspectors loved the quick, high-energy environment and focused menu featuring hits like Pepperoni Proper and Leeks on Bacon. Judges described the pizza as thin, crispy, dry and sturdy enough to hold its foldable texture without ever feeling weighed down by its bold toppings.
Miami's pizza scene is growing, and its presence on this international list is worthy recognition. Below, see the full list of American pizza spots that made it onto the 50 Top Pizza list for 2026.
