The pizza itself was great. We visited with some friends from Italy, and even they loved it. Service was just OK....but this was by far the cheapest -- and best -- place to eat on South Beach if you're on a budget.

We were in the mood for pizza and I remember seeing some good reviews for pizza rustica so I figured we would try it. Went there in August of '06 at the LINCOLN ROAD LOCATION. We walked by the other location on Washington Ave and it looked dirty and had a bad crowd. The lincoln road location was much cleaner and had a much better "crowd". The pizza was very good. I had the Hawiian pizza and my wife had pepperoni. I would highly recommend the pepperoni pizza, it was excellent. The hawaiin pizza was good, but not great. I think it had sat out for awhile and the crust was a little soggy. The pepperoni was just made and had a crisp bottom. The price is great for what you get and I would highly recommend going to the one on Lincoln rd, but not the two others on washington ave.

We went online to find the best pizza in South Beach. Saw the reviews about this being the best pizza in South Beach so gave it a try. The pizza was o.k. but we found it hard to enjoy due to the following...While eating outside at the table we were approached several times by street people begging for money or food and we HAD to get up in the middle of our meal just to get away. We also witnessed the selling of bootleg CD's and a guy spray painting grafitti on the posts, newspaper boxes and garbage pails around us. Chuck Norris would find it hard to feel safe in this area. We suggest "take out" if you decide to eat here!

Salty! If you value your blood pressure dont eat here. You will still taste salt the morning after and your tummy will tell the tale days afterwards. It's an ok fix for after the club the night before but be warned bloating in the stomache region is guranteed.

In Dec of 05 we were dying for pizza, looked up on google for the best Pizza in Miami. Well, I guess that was the first wrong thing to do. The second wrong thing was to find the place Pizza Rustica on Washington Ave where there is a lot of wierd, scary people walking past you while you are sitting on a corner eating pizza and may I say not too clean a place to eat.. The pizza was not too great looking as it was in the glass enclosed case for however long it was sitting there..

It was about 10:00 and we were starving so it tasted ok but a little later on it kept coming back up with heartburn....I would never go back.. I'll stick with my pizza in New Jersey.........
