Pizza Rustica is miles ahead of any upscale pizza joint, in taste as well as in the size of portions.

Whoever said that Pizza Rustica is the best pizza has not been to a variety of pizza restaurants and its evident that they are talking with their hunger when pretty much anything tastes good. Especially after you just left a club! The best pizza joint in Miami Fl is "STEVE'S PIZZA" on biscayne blvd and about 121st not sure on the street but headed south on biscayne its on the left. Its the best in Miami unlike Pizza Rustica the pizza is always fresh coming out the oven, on South Beach the pizza is laying around for hours and they throw it back in the oven and sell it to you. Who wants to eat that!!!!!! STEVE'S PIZZA THE BEST!!!

Your search for the best pizza ends there!: The best pizza you'd ever taste. The varieties are overwhelming. Very tasty selections, I've yet to try them all. My favorite is the New York Steak.

Good ambience: I like this place because you can meet all kinds of interesting people while you are having your slice of pizza. There is alsoa youth hostal half a block from there and you can see travelers coming ang going somewhere in the world. Pizzas are good and tasty. The shapes are square and filling. Anytime you go there will always be people.

Como digo una cosa digo otra. Tuve una terrible experiencia con un viaje a Key West con Half price tour tickets o como se llame, pero despues de eso fuimos a comer una deliciosa Pizza en este lugar. Cien por cien recomendable. Con diez dolares comes lo que se conoce como slais de pizza y una Cocacola. Excelente !!!

Cheap Food: The pizza at this place is cheap (specially for Lincoln Road) and that is the reason I go there. However, the ingredients used are not as good as you'd like and the pizza just feels heavy after you eat it. I am a huge pizza afficionado and love hole-on-the wall type places, but this is just a good value.

I luuuuv pizza Rustica!!!: Im from chicago , the land of prime pizza. The 1st time i went to Miami and had this pizza, I too was pleased. The location is smack dab in the middle of south beach and its soo tastey. When I went this past november, I told the ppl there that they needed to open one in Chicago, Low & behold, one just opened here...U have to try the spinach & blu cheese...Im sure eating it too often isnt good for u, but its worth it. the best pizza crust i ever tasted!!!

I think the best Pizza I have ever had is Papa Del's on Green Street in Champaign Illinois, owned by Bob Monte. The crust is excellent, and all the ingredients are absolutely first rate.!Try the stuffed pizza.(This is from an International Airline Captain, who has been all over the world so many times he has lost count.)

My husband and I love this place. We were staying at the Hotel Clinton last November for his bday. One night he got out of bed at 2am and went and got us pizza.! We live in Chicago and I think this beats our "famous" pizza by far! We're going back to Miami in August. We will definitely hit Pizza Rustica!

Gourmet Pizza with flair: Pizza Rustica is a Miami/South Beach must. They specialize in unique, gourmet pizzas. Some of my favorites include the Chicken Florentine and the Roasted Potato pizza. Its perfect for grabbing a quick bite with a group of friends while hanging out in SoBe. Make sure you bring cash though. They don't take plastic.

Strange pizza by the slice: With a large assortment of interesting pizzas (I had the shrimp - not bad) with generous toppings, Pizza Rustica may be the most interesting pizza place on the Beach. Not a bad value either. The pizza is sitting out behind glass so you can choose what you want, and they stick it back in the oven before serving it to you. Overall, not bad. Certainly good for a quick bite.

BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD!: Not only is this the BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD!, but they also have like three locations on the beach. So if you are walking and suddenly get hungry, you will most likely be close to at least one of them. Pizza Rustica has like a million varieties and the service is good. The waitressess look hot too!

One night after the club i ordered a slice of pizza as i was paying for my slice i noticed a INSECT on another slice of pizza. B4 i had the chance to tell the lady that their was a INSECT on the pizza she was about to put in the oven I WATCHED THE LADY SHAKE THE INSECT OFF AND PROCEED TO PUT THE PIZZA IN THE OVEN!!!! How GROSS! i mean i kno every place has some type of cleanliness problem but come on she SHOOK THE INSECT OFF AND SOLD IT TO A CUSTOMER! Thats just nasty! I will NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN! groovy's Pizza is a couple of feet away and they have better pizza and are much cleaner!
