Frommer's Review
It's 4am and there's a line out the door at Pizza Rustica, not because they're short staffed, but because Pizza Rustica has become a nutritional mainstay for Miami's nocturnal set. Why wait in line at the crack of dawn when there are countless other late-night slice spots? The pizza here is that good. So good they had to open another Pizza Rustica just blocks away. Day or night -- and morning, this place is always slammed with people who must fulfill their craving for meal-size slices of moan-inducing Tuscan-style pizza. Spinach and Gorgonzola cheese blend blissfully with a touch of olive oil and garlic that will last for a few hours to remind you of just how good their pizza is. Other designer varieties include four cheese, arugula, chicken, and rosemary-potato. Pizza Rustica's slices are made so that you can either scarf down an entire slab, which is the size of a floor tile, or ask them to cut the slice into fours, creating dainty, bite-size installments. If the original spot is too busy, try your luck at their other South Beach locations at 1447 Washington Ave. (between 14th and 15th sts; tel. 305/538-6009) and 667 Lincoln Rd. (tel. 305/672-2334). Whatever location, it's worth the wait.
