Only one Miami restaurant made this list of the best pizza joints in America

Hey, Miami — what’s wrong with our pizza?

Maybe nothing. But according to the website The Daily Meal, only one Miami pizza restaurant is worthy of its Best Pizzas in America list.

That restaurant is Crust on the Miami River, which opened in 2015 and is owned and operated by chef Klime Kovaceski and his wife Anita.

“Crust occupies a 2,600-square-foot Art Deco building and former 1950s home by the scenic Miami River in Florida,” the website writes. “A look at the menu reveals enticing items including a popular Truffled Pizza with fresh tomato, arugula, shaved Parmesan, lemon juice and white truffle oil; and a Surf and Turf Pizza with shrimp, prosciutto, pepperoni and shaved ham.”

For the record, we are all about that white truffle pizza, too.

This isn’t the first time Crust has made the news. In 2019 it was named one of the 25 restaurants worth traveling for by the travel site Kayak and the reservation and review platform OpenTable. It was also named one of the top 100 restaurants in America for 2019 by OpenTable.

No other pizzas in Florida were named to the Daily Meal list. The no. 1 pizza in the country, according to the website? Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven, Connecticut, which is famous for a coal-fired pizza with fresh clams, grated pecorino romano, garlic, oregano and olive oil. There are also locations in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York.

To come up with its list, The Daily Meal focused on smaller restaurants and local favorites, compiling internal expertise, Yelp, other review sites, coverage by local journalists and suggestions from readers.
