Diabetics at Pizza Hut

Pizza is neither a great meal nor the worst for diabetes. All you need is some fact check and monitoring while ordering your pizza. Diabetics can opt for thin crust or skinny pizza at Pizza Hut and avoid the cheese topping to cut down on the excess fat and sodium. If you have diabetes, then ensure to check your portion size when you order a pizza. One or max. two slices are enough. You can also avoid meat if possible and go for wings as a meat option.

Foods to Avoid at Pizza Hut for Diabetics:

You must avoid Meat Lovers Pizza with Original Pan Crust as it contains over 1000mg sodium and will add 470 calories in your meal. You should also skip Super Supreme Pizza Large Original Pan Slice which is too high in sodium and fat. Chicken wings are often tempting but you must control and restrict yourself from ordering Traditional Honey BBQ Bone-in Wings as it can add up to your sugar levels if you eat too many. On average, a person orders or consumes six chicken wings pieces in a day.

Sides must be avoided at all costs especially if it's Bacon Cheddar Fries with Ranch Dipping Cup for its high sodium content. You must also avoid New York Style Cheesecake with Applesauce as dessert as one slice of this dessert item contains 86g sugar. Pizza Hut also offers other Italian dishes such as Pasta. However, you must skip Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatballs and Garlic Bread as it is too high in sodium and sugar.

    Excellent pizza. Fluffy crust, really really good. Just needs a bit more tomato sauce and/or ketsup to balance the saltiness. Would go there anytime for a piece of pizza though. YUM!!!!!!!

    These visiting New Yorkers loved this place. The pizza was beyond words. New Yorkers have a passion for good pizza, so you can trust me. This place was recommended by friends of mine who live in Miami, and I am so glad I took their advice. This pizza is thick the way pizza is supposed to be. We ordered the bread sticks for an appetizer and I am so glad we did. Their breadsticks are different from any other I've had. They are little pizza's!! What a cool idea. And the price? I have to say, they could charge a lot more. Just think of all the shopping you can do, in this beautiful area with the money you save!!

  • Pukar R.

    This place is pretty good. We decided to try it since there were always a ton of people so we figured it must be decent. The slices are huge! We were going to order 2 of each (we had bbq chicken and something else) and glad we didn't. The pizza was a bit cold but it was pretty good. Sitting on the mall and eating is a fun experience, and the pizza made everything better. Will definitely go back.

    I liked this place. They had a good selection of toppings and flavors. I especially liked the potato pizza and the veggie was also good. Extra points for the wheat dough that they used. We ordered from the group menu - I think it was about $38 for a HUGE pizza to feed 9 girls. Great deal. Friendly wait staff. Excellent. Cash only.

    I love pizza rustica. Seriously, i do. I just don't seem to ever have luck with this location. The pizza always tastes really doughy and no matter whether you get a plain cheese (no idea why you would) or have 10 toppings on your slice including shrimp and corn if that's your thing, it seems to tastes the same throughout. Not to mention the fact that I am a big fan of crispy corners which fail me and limply hang down when I pick up my little squares. The staff is always screaming when they speak to you because they figure you love trance music and that's all they ever play, and they play it loud enough for the outside seating customers to (not)enjoy. They didn't even have my pizza of choice (NY supreme $4.95) so I was extra bummed. Stick to the one on Washington, although it's smaller and you get to deal with more drunky south beachy club goers the pizza is tastier.

    This place is on the ritzy Lincoln street-- a good break from all the high end eateries around. All their pizza's looked good, so it was hard to decide what to get! I think a pizza slice (BIG) was about $4 or so and it was tasty and filling! The beer was $3-$4 or so. Not too bad. A good place to go if you're on a budget and want some good food!

  • Amazing value for money and great quality. We stupidly opted for an 18 pizza (which is massive and kept us going for two days) but the service was fast and the food great. No nonsense pizza and beer. Makes a change from some of the overpriced dross on Lincoln

  • Jasmine W.

    perfect post-clubbin' still buzzin' snack. get it "extra crispy" and get 'em to cut it into 6 slices to share with friends and try out all the combos! i'm not sure how tasty the pizzas would be during normal sober hours...

  • Rob C.

    Pizza Rustica has several locaitons. The Miami Beach one often has late-night club goers--definitely perfect for a quick bite. The pizza focus is on the variety of "fancy" toppings. They call it Roman-style rectangular pan pizza. I think it's pretty good, inexpensive, and lives up to its many accolades. Remember it's for late night eating!

  • Lynnette P.

    This is some yummy pizza. I love it cause it's like your actually getting pizza in Rome! Though I have never been, i have seen the pics and it looks the same. Great place too from a night of partying in SoBe. I'm in Southern California, but I will make it a point to stop at the one in LA when I'm close by and in the mood for some great pizza!

  • Jean R.

    humongous slice of pizza thats cut in 6 for 4.75 only problem is they take only cash, so be ready to pay the dollar bills upfront. me and my sister basically lived off of this food (really the only dining place that's cheap around here). i've tried bbq shrimp (pretty good), the one with spinach (all right), but my favorite was "rustica." i would definitely recommend you to try it!! they also have toppings with whole wheat crust for the health-conscious

  • Kuv S.

    Lincoln rd Pizza Rustica = yummm. It doesn't matter if you're day-time pool side at the Delano or night-time stumbling back from Mansion, Pizza Rustica is the ish. I do the cheese, tomato, and basil or sausage - both are stellar. When you're looking for good pizza in south beach, this is your spot.

  • Jenny C.

    i love this pizza to death...........I'm starting to find a pizza trend in my reviews.........what can i say i have 2 kids we eat allot of pizza.......not really like once a month..............anyway back to Pizza Rustica i love it here there is a mass quantity of pizza to choose from..........there is the Hawaiian, white pizza, plain cheese, peperoni, sausage with onion, BBQ chicken, and they usually have a few different new flavors, its cool that it comes in a rectangle shape, every time I'm in south beach i try and stop bye for a slice its part of the experience of SOBE...if in the area at least stop bye and try a piece for your self...........I've even eaten the pizza sober and it is good as hell!!!!!

  • Denise P.

    Well.... I need to write a review for this place simply because one of my all time favorite foods is of course PIZZA! But then again, I'm not the only one out there that loves that greasy yummy stuff. Anyhow, I have a few cons about this place I feel I should put out there for the world of south Florida to know about. I have to say that there has not been one time that I have gone to Pizza Rustica and been treated ok. The employees here are more than just rude, I have had my money thrown at me and practically given the worst attitude by most of the girls working there. Sometimes, I want to eat the pizza there but then I think about the horrible service I receive when I go and I end up going somewhere else. I really have to be craving pizza rustica to actually go. It's an unfortunate thing but its the reality of the matter, that is just Miami for you, people don't want to work and when they are working they treat anybody like a piece of trash (to put in nicely). =) But the pizza is good dispite the quality of the service there.

    you pick a slice and they reheat it in front of you. need i say more? nasty, nasty... i give it two stars because it's so perfect for soaking up all that alcohol when you stumble out of the club wasted

    Great pizza that seems to taste better as the night goes on. After one particularly painful event next door at the tattoo/piercing parlor a slice from Pizza Rustica hit the spot and eased the pain.

  • Vann D.

    My kind of pizza, kinda reminds me of Arizmendi in Oakland. A very large variety of different styles of pizza available in small slices or 'squares' four small slices together for about $4.00. Right on Lincoln Road, a few chairs out front and bottled beers make this is a great place to grab lunch and do some people watching.

    Whoever rates this less than 5 doesn't know pizza. It's not the BEST pizza i've ever had, but then again i'm from the East Coast but it's the best pizza i've had in South Florida HANDS DOWN. The only people that vote this down are hipsters that believe that a franchise can't put out good pizza, so they stick to the "mom and pop parlors" around here that put out mediocre crap. The crust is phenomenal you can eat it like bread, it's crunchy and yet soft in the middle. The sauce is very light flavored, the ingredients taste fresh. I tried the Pulled Pork BBQ and the Chicken and Corn. I wasn't a big fan of the pulled pork because to me it was too sweet, but the Chicken and Corn has gotten me going back for DAYS ! Incredibly great pizza at an outstanding price, the best one in South Florida without a doubt.

  • Dre B.

    The food here is actually good. I had a blue cheese pizza and a couple of garlic rolls, and was reasonable satisfied considering it was a meal on Lincoln Road. Rustica loses two stars for the subpar service. The Waitress barely spoke any words to us, never appeared at our table after delivering the pizza and didn't even speak when delivering the bill (which I had to send for her to even get). Then they add that bullshit 18% service charge which i had promptly removed - the manger was gracious and cool about that. Again, with it being Lincoln Road, I wasn't excepting much when it came to service. I would eat here an and get the same pizza. You know what you're getting at a place like this.

    One of the best pizza experiences I've had in a while, it's almost like a pizza market with the pizzaioli showing off their dough skills! We came in for Saturday night dinner and the place was packed. It's a small location with many chairs outside on Lincoln mall rd. We were seated immediately but there wasn't a server that came by for 15 mins. Once they were alerted, we had good service then on, but I would recommend take away order of its too packed. I was impressed with the specialty pizza menu, thin crust of course. We ordered spicy sausage pizza , shrimp pizza and the wings. The wings order came with crispy potato slices, the wings w/ bones were not breaded (thank you !!!), were juicy and not over sauced, simply perfect! The spicy sausage pizza was like a party in my mouth and I'm a sucker for spice so this one is highly recommended if you like some heat! The shrimp pizza had good flavor and the shrimp was juicy and fresh, I love my seafood and this did not disappoint. Had to knock off a star for the service mishap but I would definitely go back. Finger lickin good!

    Best pizza taste. Best thin crust pizza. Best pizza selection (they will even do half/half). Best spot for people watching. ... and finally the service is prompt and they will not rush you. Take your time, enjoy the food and the company.

  • Gabby S.

    Got a recommendation to come here from a random bartender in Daytona Beach. The pizza did not disappoint I had the salad pizza and could not even finish the entire slice. The only thing I would comment on is that the crust was not as crispy as I would like.

    (4)
  • Abisai H.

    From the outside the place looks like a must try, full of many different styles and flavors of pizza. But you are up for a rude awakening as you set foot inside. The place is filthy and I honestly wonder when will it be shut down due to hygiene issues. A place that dirty shouldn't be open to the public. If you are making your way to the bathrooms, that long dark hallway is full of mold around the floor and the smell takes away your appetite. The staff is a hot mess, they're disrespectful and customer service does not exist among their duties.

    Really good place to grab a quick bite. They sell whole pizzas or pizza by the slice. Toppings are always generous and food comes out quick. Our server was very good and always bringing out extra napkins and water

  • Mary M.

    This place has a variety of yummy pizza at a descent price. The place has an outdoor and indoor option. Inside is kinda small and there isn't a lot of seating, but it's a good option of you want to get out of the sun. The service was good and we didn't have to wait too long. I don't recommend getting wine there because they basically give you a small cup, kinda disappointing. They offer you a pitcher of water for your table and they have other beverage options. I did enjoy their pizza and if I'm in the area I would probably go back again.

  • Amy A.

    This is the easiest and cheapest lunch you can have on Lincoln Rd. They also give you a card they stamp with every purchase and you get a free dish after 8 visits. There salads are huge and delicious. They have all sorts of toppings. The pizza is not the best in my opinion, but it's ok. They have some fun desserts too. The service is great.

    Something's happened over the past year. The pizza is not near as flavorful as it used to be. The crust no longer has that nice buttery flavor and the toppings are not up to the quality as they used to be. This used to be a superior pizza, sadly the only thing superior is the variety of pizzas. I miss my old Pizza Rustica!

  • Christina M.

    Walking down lincoln road, Pizza Rustica had a certain appeal about it. Not being in the mood for anything too outrageous, me and my friends decided to check it out. Since it looked like it was about to rain, we asked to sit inside. Bad move. While the inside had a funky decor, it was hot and we had wished we would have sat outside towards the end. The chairs were uncomfortable, it was hot, and people coming in to get their pizza to go was rather annoying, it seemed like they came in the bus loads. It was too interruptive. We ordered the breadsticks, which while they were good, it left more to be desired. I ordered the chicken parmesan square pizza and it was good but the chicken on it wasn't cooked all the way and the onions sort of ruined it. The service was horrendous. I'm not asking for 5 star service but at least fill our sodas when we ask. The waitress disappeared for the better half of our meal and we were on a time constraint. I would check them out again, but only if it was either to-go or a different location.

    For just average ratings here on Yelp this place is more than just average. We wanted a small bite to eat before dinner and stopped by here. Plus, shopping makes you hungry. :P You can opt to sit down at a table and do formal dining or go inside the shop and do it fast-food style. We opted for the latter. I tried a slice of The Latest From Roma and my bf had a slice of the Shrimp al Pesto. Both were really good! I liked mine more though. ;) Pizza was pretty good here! Give them a try!

    Very disappointing. Up until my experience with Pizza Rustica I believed that you cannot spoil a pizza. We ordered a delivery into our hotel after passing by their location on Lincoln road. The pizza by the slice that is served there looked fantastic. That's why we figured a delivery would be a nobrainer. We checked out online with a credit card, there was a $2 delivery fee on the bill. To my surprise, the shyster delivery driver wrote on the additional $5 delivery charge in the tip section of the receipt I were to sign. Interesting. I wasn't going to stiff you, bro. To our great disappointment the pizza itself was horrendous. Too salty, too chewy; the dough tasted like ass; there was too much of everything on it. Seriously, the amount of salt on this thing! It burned my mouth with every bite I attempted. After nibbling on it for a minute we had given up. How disappointing. I will not have pizza for a while.

    I looooove this pizza rustica. It's definitely fav location. I'm come here often when I want some good good pizza or whenever I'm catching a movie at the regal theater on Lincoln road. This place is always packed but I have never waited for a seat. The food takes some small time too come out but it's worth the small wait. The food is priced wonderfully and you definitely get your money's worth. The varieties of pizzas makes me so happy. I can get a large slice of multiple pizzas and really dig in. This place makes for a great first date, or something fun and casual.

    I generally only eat at Rustica when I'm drunk and unable or unwilling to contemplate the damage to my waistline and arteries that a "slice" of Rustica pizza will do. However, it IS excellent pizza and given that a $5 slice is more than enough for 2 people, it's also a good bargain. Today, I was introduced to one of the best features of Rustica yet...the Rustica salad! I had NO idea they made such delicious salads until I encountered a co-worker enjoying an enormous bowl of goodness. I headed right over to Lincoln Road and got to work checking off those little boxes on the "unlimited veggies" section of the order form! You pick a lettuce (arugula, mixed greens, romaine), a meat (includes egg!), a cheese, and then they give you a selection of basically every type of topping available on the pizza. The container is HUGE, packed full of delicious treats, and it comes with 2 breadsticks on the side. Total tummy satisfaction for about $8.

    This place sucks. Yes it's late at night but you don't need to be rude. Pizza is good but not worth the asshole service. To the staff: if you don't want to be working late at night, get a retail job. No need to be jerks

    Great pizza spot! You get huge square slices of pizza. You can definitely share one slice! It's pretty tight in there so don't plan on staying in there long. They do have 7-10 ledge seats. But it's so tight in there Taft you probably don't wanna stay long.

    Starving after leaving the beach we decided to walk by Lincoln road for some light shopping and food. Pizza rustica caught my eye, I love pizza. We went inside and the music was a bit loud, and the staff seemed super busy. They have a variety of pizza displayed but try not to get in any of the servers way as they will absolutely run you over, very small and narrow shop. I ordered the shrimp pesto and holy guacamole. "Daaaamn", that's what went through my mind as I took my first bite of my shrimp pesto pizza from pizza rustica. It was delicious, stop by and grab a slice. They are affordable as well.

    I don't know is fair to review pizza rustica on a extremely busy, crowded Halloween night; but im gonna try to be impartial and give my best. 3.5 stars. Well could u imagine right? Waiting list of 20-40 mins for a table, u dont even have a place to stand/wait but not their fault. I think they did pretty good job even though it was so busy. We waited like 20 mins with a beer on hand. Waiting list was organized and they called u like 3 or 4 times before u loose ur turn. As soon as we seated the server approached to us kind of fast but it was there, we ordered beer (were not that cold of course) came soon. We ordered half mega meat: smoked ham, bacon bits, sausages, peperonni and ground beed and half 4 cheeses; mozarella, asiago, swiss and creamy blue cheese. We really though couldnt order half and half pizza in that day, but they made it :) My Only concern was we waited like 45 mins for our pizza, i didnt mind the wait until i saw that other pizzas table who arrived later than us were served first. I can understand because of the day, but that thing pissed off anyone. Pizza was not that hot and almost burned in the inferior totally understandable but really tasty. Servers were attentive, they did a good job managing that busy and crazy day. Will give them another opportunity on a easy day.

    Avoid !!!!! Service getting very unfriendly and rude ! Pizza and salads are great. Service don't let you eat at your table tell you it's reserved even it's not true ... The place was really great to eat on the go but the last weeks it's getting mostly unfriendly , avoid there are other more friendly pizza places there like spris a block away .

    BEST PIZZA this side of Italy! Everything you like, nothing you don't. The pizza speaks for itself. Try any flavor- you can't go wrong.

    I had to put a star to complete the review, but this place is horrible. Our pizza was an hour late, and the manager gave us an attitude and refused to take care of the issue. We were left PAYING for a cold flavorless pizza, and and earful of attitude for this cold piece of cardboard. Guillermo and Jose, who told me they were managers, made the experience worse. Did I mention everything is made who-knows-when and just reheated when you point? disgusting. I wasn't even sure our delivered pizza was fresh. WORST PIZZA EXPERIENCE EVER. These people do NOT care about their customers.

    I'm so confused by the positive reviews on here. This was, hands down, the worst pizza I've ever had. The slices are pre-made and taste like bad frozen pizza. I had the spicy sausage and my roommate had the four cheese. Hers just tasted like too much cheese, no depth of flavor at all. The sausage on mine tasted cheap and it wasn't the least bit spicy. Salads were tiny and forgettable. Only good thing about this place was it was cheap and our waitress was nice and good with refills. We were mad we wasted a meal here, but luckily found Piola on our last night, which I highly recommend over this gross tourist trap.

    This place is great. Here are a few items to consider. The pizza (almost the only item on the menu), which comes in hundreds of variations, tastes great. It is always packed, so the food will take a while, but it is definitely worth the wait. We received AWESOME service We were seven people and we ate for $83.

  • Biff G.

    Pizza was ok. Already made & then reheated in an oven when ordered. I stood inside where you order by the slice but there were four of us so I ordered what ended up being about a whole pizza. We took it outside and ate at the tables. There were wait staff hustling about but none looked in my direction to see if I needed anything else or more drinks. I finally caught someone's attention to ask for a to go box for my leftovers. Even though she was on her way back into the restaurant and would be coming back she told me I needed to go inside and ask for a box.

    I've been to Pizza Rusica on a few occasions when I've visited South Beach. On the most recent visit, I noticed that 75% of their pizzas all had kalamata olives on it. Now I love kalamata olives, however, these were super briny, so much so that they had an almost seafood taste to it. My friend also complained about how many pizzas had them on them. She isn't a fan of olives and is also a vegetarian, so it was disheartening for her to have to pick off the olives because there were no other options for veggie pizzas. Would I return? Absolutely. The flavors and the crust are great. I just hope whoever the olive fairy was that dusted all the pizzas with the low quality kalamata olives tones it down a bit next time I'm in town.

    In the mood for a slice of pizza, I decided to try this place on lincoln road. After ordering a slice of BBQ chicken pizza for $6.40 a slice, I panned my head around and realized I had just walked into a rat hole. This is what I saw empty bottles and cans of beer and soda littered on the indoor tables. Used dirty napkins on the tables and floors. Splattering of unknown liquids and pieces of pizza crust on the tables and floors. That should have been my sign to just walk out and leave, but I said eh let me just get the slice and get the hell out of here. Once again ignoring my intuition and the obvious. I now have to suffer the consequences of my actions. I thought I ordered a slice of BBQ chicken pizza, , not a tomato based bland tasting cardboard textured pizza slice with a gross after taste. I have no idea where the BBQ sauce was, maybe it was tanning in Bora Bora sipping a Mai-tai or taking a tour of Venice on a gondola with a sexy passionate Italian woman. Because it sure hell wasn't on my pizza slice.

    We were referred to this place by our concierge and were looking forward to great crisp rustic pizza. I am not sure if we were there on a bad night but the service and pizza was really bad. They made my pizza wrong which needed to be returned while I watched everyone else eat. When I did get it, it was soggy and soft crust (just out of the oven) and the meatballs were so big I had to break them up myself and re-spread them around the pizza which was not fun. I wasn't impressed with the taste or crust at all and left half the pizza and didnt even take it with me. The entire family complained about their dishes. I am not one to bag a place but hopefully they take this and improve it. Wow

    I researched this place before our trip and it looked good, I wasn't going to go since they have a Pizza Rustica in Royal Oak Michigan but during our stroll through Lincoln Park mall we wanted to try it for a small lunch! I look forward to trying more of the menu in the future, but enjoyed the wide selection. We had the "Rustica" pizza and I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it. I liked the vibe and uniqueness of this place and find it better then California Pizza Kitchen.

    Best Pizza place in Miami hand down. Soo much to love: 1. Huge selection of pizzas. My favorite is the Hawaiian 2. Open really late, perfect for "after the club" 3. A very large piece of pizza for a fantastic value at around 6 bucks for a slice and a soda. 4. more than one location in SoBe so you are never that far from one There are ton of pizza places in Miami, this is the one not to be missed!

    Nice place for pizza on Lincoln Road for sure. Plenty of toppings to choose from, a variety of pizza options, and many other menu items outside of pizza are available. Serving staff was nice and fairly prompt. No complaints about the place and everything was good quality, but not quite a "wow" factor that gives it that fifth star. Worth visiting again!

  • Jonnabel S.

    Came here for a quick lunch. I had the mushroom pizza which had different kinds of mushrooms and lots of fresh garlic. I forgot what my husband ordered, but I remember it had prosciutto and arugula. I like that it's all prepared and they'll heat it up in their oven when you order. So it's super quick if you're in a hurry. The taste was good, but I remember it tasting a while lot better after a night out drinking. They have all kinds of topping combinations to choose from, which is a nice break from the regular pepperoni we always order at the chains. I've had better pizza, but this place is really a must-try if you're going to be in the Miami Beach area, especially after the club. Great location, too, on Lincoln Rd.

    LOVE THE PIZZA HERE! Always delicious and fresh. Service here is good. They're always friendly. Usually packed (It is Lincoln Road after all) but I never wait long to be seated. What I love too is that it's so affordable!! I highly recommend to stop here when taking a break from shopping or for those (who like me work and go to school nearby) and go there for lunch or one of the other nearby Pizza Rustica locations.

    After a night of drinks, stumbling into Steve Madden and blowing cash on a pair of heels just because the girl at the store told me they looked good on me, the hubs went into damage control mode and decided that we get some food in my belly. Hey, food? Count me in! Pizza - aside from Taco Bell (yeah, Taco Bell bitches!) - is a great follow up after a night of drinking. So Pizza Rustica was chosen. After about a 10 minute wait (and a "kill some time" trip to Forever21 in which the ball n chain watched me like a hawk), we were seated and promptly taken care of. The menu is crazy long - cheese pizzas, specialty pizzas, meat pizzas, vegetable pizzas, salad pizzas, blah, blah, blah - and for someone who did not have much focusing abilities that night, I ran away to the bathroom. Lucky for me, as I walked to the bathroom, I passed by the pizzas on display at the counter and said - oooohhh, Mega Meat and Campagnola pizzas, thank you display case! And so that's what we had - a medium pizza, half and half. And it was pretty good. It was not the best pizza I've ever had, but it got the job done. Very meaty (they did not skimp on anything) and tasty, I gobbled that shiz down. And for being busy, tourist trap Lincoln Road, the service and the bill were decent. Werd.

    The original Pizza Rustica on Washington Ave. was a solid 4 to 4.5 stars. The pizza was that good. Last 8 years or more the place has been ruined by the new owners. Mediocre everything. I still periodically buy a pizza from their Lincoln Road location, but the pizza and service keep going downhill. Last time, I attempted to order over the phone, but the girl couldn't speak any English and the call got disconnected. They didn't bother to call me back, so I didn't either, instead I went somewhere else and discovered a new favorite place where English is spoken and the pizza is excellent.

  • Nikki D.

    DO NOT ORDER HERE! After waiting 45 minutes for one pizza and some breadsticks, once opening our pizza we figured out that we were given the wrong pizza. Called back to tell them and precede to wait another 30 minutes for the correct pizza. We finally get it and they STILL forgot the breadsticks! So $30 and 1.5 later we got some mediocre pizza. I DO NOT recommend getting pizza delivered from here. Awful, awful experience.

  • Jah L.

    We fell in love with their square sliced pizza. I think we come here every time we come to Sobe. It is one of the best pizza spots in Miami... so much that we sometimes order from our hotel room and have it delivered. Food is great. It is about 5 bucks a square slice that is then sliced to six smaller squares. I love this place whether it be when we experienced a flash flood to sitting outside. This part of lincoln rd is part of Lincoln Road mall. There is also a Pizza Rustica on Washington Blvd but that area is sketchy. I like this one better.

    Tourists are attracted to this place like flies are attracted to watermelon on a hot summer day or mosquitoes are attracted to me WHEREVER I go (seriously, I get bit up as soon as these vampire bugs awaken from their winter slumber). The lines are never-ending at Pizza Rustica but because it's such a staple of the South Beach experience, almost everyone is compelled to wait (patiently or not is another issue) for a chance to try the iconic pizza. Miami being a second home now (I think that I have been there more than 20 times in the past 3-4 years), I have been to South Beach many times and I always try to escape the tourist traps, mostly because food is over-priced and the throngs of people frighten and irritate me. A couple of years ago, I tried PIzza Rustica and liked it well enough. But since then I hadn't gone back because of said tourist crowds. But this last trip (last weekend), during a late-night stroll through Lincoln Road with bf and his family, we made a stop at Pizza Rustica. At 11 pm, the line was still impressive. Bf and his cousin went to pick up the pizza. My intent was to not have any, especially since I had picked up some candy from Dylan's. When the guys came back and everyone started eating, my will was like iron and I just watched a group of break dancers do their thing. Bf ended up trying a square and when I glanced at it, I was immediately curious. The two things that stood out to me were the chicken chunks and corn scattered about on the surface. Hmmm... Interesting. The straw that broke the camel's back was the bite that I took from his little 2"x2" square. Crap, I knew I wouldn't be able to resist but I turned my back and did some people-watching to see if I could hold out. My efforts were for naught because when everyone was full and there was the last round of "does anyone want any?", my willpower came crashing down and I offered to not waste what was left. I took a bite of the pizza square and it was barely warm anymore but I could tell that everything was fresh and the pizza dough was perfectly baked and crispy. I don't even know if the pizza was a custom-one or if the chicken/corn combo is one they sell, but either way, it was scrumptious. The next time I am in South Beach, I may have to brave the crowds, because I have been depriving myself. From what I recall, Pizza Rustica is a good place to grab something to eat without making pre-SSNRA withdrawals from your IRA or 401(k). You have to try this tourist magnet, because it is actually worth it. Oh and you may save yourself some frustration if you take your pizza to go and find some place in the common area on Lincoln Road to eat it or just walk with it, instead of trying to obtain seating there.

    Went at 2am for a remarkably delicious gluten free pizza. The staff was friendly and helpful and the pizza was custom and good enough to please even the on gluten free among us. The gluten free pizza comes in one 10" size, which is plenty to satisfy two for a late night snack.

    You gotta know what you're paying for here: a very filling cheap pizza with a great sidewalk cafe in the middle of Lincoln Rd. Yes, the inside is cramped. And yes, the service is lacking. But it's $5 for a supreme pizza you can share!!!! There are so many overpriced tourist traps around, at least you get what you pay for here.

    I hate this style of pizza even when I'm drunk - but I'm a New Yorker so I realize my standards are not so fair. Some people love this place, and I just don't get it. The pizza is old and not made fresh for you - piles of slices sit there for hours with an overwhelming amount of toppings and gross sauce - then gets re-heated. Gross. Even the plane cheese slices are crap.

    Great Pizza, at a great price, you can get your meal and a beer or a glass of wine for 10 bucks in the middle of Lincoln road in South Beach. I normally bring friends and family to this place because it is really good and has great prices. My daughter loves it, it has a chocolate pizza that is amazing, it also has a skinny pizza with 260 calories. My favorite is the hawaiian pizza. I love it.

    We were going to walk past it was so hot outside pizza didn't sound good. But then we saw these people on the sidewalk (cafe) with a fantastic looking pizza and we changed our mind. Had a great meal under the tent with a fan blowing right on our legs. Great pizza. Great caprese salad. The lady inside didn't want me taking pictures which was a little weird. Told her it was for a good review.

    The first thing I noticed when I came here: service sucks. Ordering was a hassle. As for the pizza, it would be tasty... if the bottom wasn't almost burned. I liked the taste of their 4 cheese pizza, the cheeses were all melted and complemented each other very well. But the bottom was almost burned, sigh.. Slice is large enough to share. Wasn't sure of its size when I ordered, I would have split. I would be willing to give it another try, but with so many great restaurants in the Lincoln Road and in Miami, I probably won't.

    Probably the cheapest place to grab a snack on Lincoln Rd. I can only comment on take-out, since we didn't dine- in. While strolling, the yummy aroma of pizza was calling our name. Although it's a chain, I have never tried their pizza. We made the 20 minute unorganized line. It was hot, stuffy with everyone piled on top of each other. The poor servers have to make their way through this same crowd. The girls behind the counter appeared stressed and frazzled. We ordered a slice of Meatball Rustica, just to try it. We walked out and sat on the stoop in front. The slice is huge and cut into six small squares. More than enough for both of us. The crust was crispy, the sauce slightly tangy, the meatballs were good but there was very little cheese. I love cheese! Not the best pizza ever, but at $4.95, we can't complain.

    I used to visit this place almost weekly in my SOBE-party days of 2006 and 2007. I was back in the neighborhood this week and I got hit by the nostalgia of Pizza Rustica at 4:30am on Saturday night. My friends and I were wondering around aimlessly looking for late-night food when my inner lightbulb went up and directed them to this little hole-in-the-wall. I'm happy to say that this place has not changed a single thing in 7 years. 7 years! The selection is still crazy weird, super tasty and over-sized. They are quick to serve you and get your order in, so the only wait time is spent in the oven while your pizza gets crispy and hot. My rule of thought it so always go for the un-traditional flavors (no cheese, pepperoni or standard sausage) to really get the benefit of being here VS any other per-slice pizza joint. The type I ordered was an eggplant and goat cheese pizza with sundried tomatoes. It wasn't very oily, it was creamy and they did not skip out on the ingredients. For the size of the slice and the environment (fancy schmancy Lincoln Rd), I thought the $5/slice price was expected and I am grateful that they take credit/debit cards as the last thing I should be doing at 4:30am is visiting an ATM. I'm sad that I wasn't a Yelper back then, but I am happy to finally review this place.. even if its 7 years later.

    Pizza Rustica first opened on Washington Avenue and has now grown to a couple of locations nationwide. Not my style but I have to put it on the list just because they have such a large cult following. You'll find square pieces done in an almost Chicago like style. Pizza Rustica is open nearly 24 hours and seems to be enjoyed by locals and tourists alike all day (and night) long. DH For more reviews by a Miami Beach local check out DannyHertzbergBlog.com

    Very rude and unfriendly like stated above. We asked a waiter to hold our table while we went to order and she said it wouldn't be a problem. When we came back a family was sitting there. When we asked the waiter she said "she doesn't have 5 hands" which made no sense at all. The manager also refused to help us and said they couldn't ask the family sitting there to leave because they already had food and we didn't. Really poor service and I would definitely avoid if u plan on sitting inside the store on a hot day.

    Maybe it was the drinking or maybe its just that this place is downright good for such a cheap price and fills you up after a night on the town. I have gone to their near FIU location and loved it and the quality, portion and taste is just the same as this location. They even have different kinds of options at this place so yay! Only annoyance was how loud it is. My boyfriend was sitting next me and I couldn't hear him. This happened at the other location so it was sort of expected but I wanted to be pleasantly surprised. Only thing this place lacks is good customer service. I can understand why they want to get you in and out but a smile would be nice. I'm sure dealing with drunk people makes for good stories but still...smile a little! :)

    This place used to be real good, but i went there yesterday with family after I was raving to them how great the pizza is, and it ended up being very average. I felt like an idiot because everyone was wondering why I raved about the place. To top it off, food took a solid 30 mins or more to arrive. Pizza that is not freshly made should not take that long. I'm from Chicago so use to a much faster pace, that was way too slow. Prices are fair, however.

  • Stephanie M.

    I think that everyone kind of has their own idea of what the perfect pizza should be - thin crust, thick crust, Chicago style, New York style, what have you - this is mine! Pizza Rustica has a crazy amount of topping combinations ready to go by the slice, their crust is just right - not too thick, not too thin and really good flavor, and they are open late so you can get pizza after a night out. AND they put potato on pizza. I love potato pizza. Yes, their slices are square...which is a little odd, but I don't discriminate by shape. Every single slice I have had from there is amazing! Favorites include: Pizza con Potate Rustica Caprese Pizza Chicken Parmesan Eggplat & Goat cheese

    I know this is supposed to be the same pizza rustica on 9th and in downtown miami... it's not! I am in miami every month. sometimes twice a month... and I almost always stop by for a slice. And I'm so pleased. I walked over here for a slice of plain pepperoni since this particular time I stayed a block away lincoln road (I usually stay in downtown near biscayne). They had only pizza squares. And a bunch of fancy other pizzas. I tried the chicken caesar salad slice out of sheer curiosity. It was ok. I liked it. I also tried their sweet canons (A+!!! pizza dough and nutella. awesome) which is what brought me from 1 star to 2... And since they had no regular pepperoni i ordered a whole pizza. What a waste. I can normally tear up like half a 14 inch pie. Which is what I orderd but they screwed up and gave me an 18 inch by mistake. I literally ate one slice and threw the rest away. What I saw them doin is pre baking pizza crusts. I never seen the other locations do that. It clearly changed the taste of the pizza. It tasted nothing like the other pizzas I've had from the pizza rustica chain. I should have just thrown a $20 bill out the window... I was pretty upset. I was craving delicious pizza and when you don't satiate a craving all you're left with is a void. a sad sad little void. Oh well. I'll probably steer clear of this location. Unless the others don't sell sweet canons. Meaning I'll just come back for sweet canons.

    Pretty cute casual place on Lincoln. All the pizzas looked reallyy good In the display case. The frozen margarita was pretty weak. :( Ordered a specialty pizza- bacon bits, ham, chicken, mozzarella, and corn. Really Delicious pizza with excellent crust. Only real complaint that the chicken bites were too big an somewhat dry. Service wasn't that great here though- took foreverrr to get served and get the check. Good price value though- had enough to last two meals! Warning- bathroom is realllyyy gross.

    Ok but why would you put mayonnaise and hardboiled eggs on a pizza? You might as well have a squirt bottle of mayo next to the parmesan and oregano. But you don't, do you? No, because that sounds disgusting. But you took away the option. You inflicted the mayo pizza onto the public under the name "roasted chicken pizza." It's wrong. But to your credit, you have a wide variety and spectacularly, you're open at 2 am.

    While I was visiting my sister in Florida, I wanted to go down to South Beach so we did just that. While down in Miami, we decided to eat at this place for lunch. There's seating outside and inside, with service provided to you if you decided to sit inside. We opted to sit inside because it was so humid outside. There were a lot of different pizzas to choose from. I got the jumbo slice and drink combo. Jumbo slice is no joke at this place. Originally, I thought that it was just a large pizza slice like at other places I've been to. A jumbo slice here means six small square slices. If we had realized how big it was going to be, we would've shared and still would've been satisfied. I ordered one with sausage, onion, and peppers; my sister ordered the one with ham and pineapple, and there were tomato dices on it as well. We share both of ours and thought they were okay, but it is pizza and can be a place to go to if that's what you're feeling like eating if you're in the area.

    As a Chicago-area native who is partial to Chicago-style deep dish pizza, I was a bit skeptical upon seeing the exclusively thin-crust offerings at Pizza Rustica. However, I was impressed. Huge portion sizes on both their pizzas and salads, and they run good specials on buckets of beer. The whole wheat pizza crust is actually pretty good. In contrast to other restaurants on Lincoln Road, the place isn't the fanciest and isn't overdone with pricey decor and the like, and food is served on paper plates, which doesn't bother me one bit as it helps keep costs down. Been here three times and I plan on visiting again.

    The Rustic rocks! It has ham, olives, artichokes, peppers and a few other ingredients. It's really good and cut in small pieces you can grab. The only drawback is the pizza is cold and the appearence before it was warned was less than ideal.

    OK, this is not amazing pizza... but it's very good and possibly the least expensive good food on Lincoln Road. Last night we spent $75 on dinner for 2 at Sushi Siam... tonight we spent $30 and still ended up with leftovers. Pizza Rustica is a great option for a reasonable, affordable meal on Lincoln Road. Recommended.

    I'm sorry, but the food in this place stunk. I ate outside, but went inside to use restroom and was taken aback by the absolute filth throughout where they were cooking. My pizza tasted pretty much like cardboard. My stomach was killing me afterward. Heck, there wasn't even salt and pepper for my salad on the table. I don't recommend this place. You can do a lot better.

    Fresh Pizza at great price. Loads of toppings to choose from, veggie, meats even greens, seafood, you name it. My husband gets just cheese pepperoni Slices are square and a slice is huge In 4'sections. I have only eaten at the one on Lincoln Rd. It's noisy eating inside with music blaring so we eat at the outside tables.

    One of the best pizza places on the beach. Kinda pricey for the small slice that you get. This is a great place to get pizza with toppings that you can't find at any other pizza place. I enjoy their whole wheat pizza a whole lot. It has an awesome location to be able to people watch. It is a very casual type of pizza joint. Good for a third date, but not for your first.

    Delicious pizza with the best toppings and a buttery crust. I got a the deal with a side salad and soda and a HUGE slice of pizza for only $9.99 which was great!

  • Marcy E.

    What a nice surprise!! We stopped in for lunch. I got the 9.95 special which wad a salad drink and "slice". The homemade balsamic was fantastic. Salad was mixed greens and fresh. The "slice" came out and was the size if a small pizza. Beautiful fresh mushrooms , chunks of garlic cloves and fresh mozzarella. My friend got a custom made salad for 6.95 and it came with two "breadsticks" that looked like long slices of pizza. In summary, with all of the choices in this mall I'm gals we happened upon this place!!

    Interesting pizza place. They serve slices in rectangular shape. But can order as a pie too. Tons of extraordinary topping to choose from. I would say it is as good as Two Boots in NYC.

    We wanted a good pizza and this place had the best reviews. Pros: service was good, we were seated right away, the menu has a vast selection to choose from. Cons: paper cups, paper plates, plastic utensils! We wanted to have wine w/ our pizza but didn't like the thought of drinking out of plastic cups! All in all the experience was good.

    I can't believe its taken me this long to review this place! I love coming here at the end of a South Beach night crawl. They have heaps of different types of pizzas. The only gripe is portions. They're huge and i'm never able to finish. But i'm always with someone who can manage my share. The veggie pizza is brilliant! Yum! Now I wish I would have finished my slice last week!

    Eek! Methinks not. We ordered 3 slices. All sounded great on the menu. All were terrible. We did eat the topping off of one of them, paid, and left.

    A miami classic. I come to Miami Beach about three times a year and I never fail to eat here at least 3-4 times during my stay. This business has been here for years and it really is part of what gives south beach its edge. I love their selection, their prices, and the convenience of the locations. I remember the first time i came to Pizza Rustica was in like 2003 and I walked in with only like $3 dollars. I told the lady I wanted a slice of Pizza so bad because I had drank to much at the bar next door. She gave me a slice and told me to give the three dollars to a homeless man around the area. I think this place will always speak for itself. a must if in the area.

    Delicious, I can't write about it without wanting some. I hope they are closed.... Well, ok, they aren't. They have 100's of different types of pizzas and have 3 locations in South Beach. All open tilll the early morning.

    $5 giant gourmet delicious amazing pizza slices that you will absolutely need to take home because you can't finish it, want to eat some later. It's a mandatory stop whenever I'm in South Beach/Lincoln rd. They never do me wrong. They are always friendly. They always have the best pizza!!

  • Michael L.

    Food and service were prettty bad. Granted it was during a busy night on Sunday but they were understaffed and the pizza was pretty gross. The sauce isn't that good, the crust wasn't cooked well enough and the cheese was undercooked and hard after a minute. The people seated next to us were obnoxious but they happened to get a pizza that had a receipt stuck underneath the cheese and one of them almost swallowed it. Its about an hour after we ate it and my wife and I feel like we want to vomit right now. If it wasn't for the fact we have to give it at least one star we would give it zero.

    Salad at Pizza Rustica!!!!! Wasn't aware of their wonderful salad creations until my good friend introduced me to them. Their many pizza selections always distracted me. Let me tell you. You go to the side of the restaurant and pick up a little white paper to check off what you want on your salad. You have the option of adding everything on the list for the one price! The list includes: eggplant, carrots, sun dried tomatoes, chicken, ham, goat cheese, asiago cheese, to name a few. Two sliced garlic bread strips also included. yum! A salad and a coke is about $9. Definitely worth a try and big enough to share.

  • Natasha S.

    The pizza is fantastic and it is open very late. What more do you need. They have a variety of pizza way beyond your standard pepperoni. My favorite is the caprese pizza followed by the chicken BBQ. They also always come up with interesting combinations. They have good prices and tables outside for people watching. At night it can be a bit of a madhouse to find a table. It is better to just order at the counter and look for a table than to try to get a server.

    after heavy drinking, we hopped in a cab to head back t our hotel. Someone complained about hunger, and the cabby mentioned we'd just walked next to the best pizza in Miami. Whoops! Please turn-around, mister and he obliged. Inside, we we tried about 4 different pizzas, my favorite being a spicy sausage gutt bomb. Great service and very good pizza. We walked out and low and behold, the cabby waited on us! Wonderful evening!

  • Cristina G.

    I love the potato pizza I've had a few other flavors, but can't remember any of them being bad, I liked them. The one I wouldn't order again is the BBQ chicken pizza. It wasn't bad, but I prefer my pizza without the BBQ sauce. I don't care for the wine being served warm in a small, urine sample style, disposable cup. I have encountered a few stuck up foreigners working there that I really don't care for, but like most places, they usually aren't there long enough for me to judge the place on these few. I like people watching, especially on Lincoln Road, so I find myself a nice spot and chill outside, all while enjoying some yummy food!

    Tourists/everyone stay away, there any dozens of places with better service and value within walking distance of this Pizza Rustica. Here is my experience: Thought this was a good idea for a late lunch while wandering around South Beach. Had to wait to be seated, about 5 minutes. Then waited 20 minutes to have our waiter appear at our table. Ordered Blue Moons and a square each. Order came out with an extra square and the beers were not cold. The pizza was fine. Actually, the only reason I was able to give more than one star. Took another 20 minutes for the waiter to walk by again to see if we needed anything. Pretty much had to beg the waiter to stop by our table or bring us anything. The check included an 18% gratuity which felt like robbery. There was no reason a lunch here should have lasted more than an hour.

    Bad pizza, no flavor, the pizza flavor I order came wrong and the plastic fork and knife they give you cannot go through the rubbery pizza. Really regreted going there. Do not recomend!

  • Kevin L.

    Such a good location right between the hotel clusters and all the clubs. In all honesty, this pizza wouldn't be four stars in broad daylight, but add the magic of being a little tipsy and the late hour...and you have some pretty magical pizza. Your stomach is agrowlin' and you suddenly see a dozen varieties of cheese slabs, so you really can't complain. I had the BBQ chicken pizza, which was just like the other chicken pizza, except...better. Pretty big portions for the price! The pizza slabs are heated up and then diced up into six rectangles. They also blast Latin music as if it's a circuit party. Then again, it's South Beach, so why not?

    Miami's got its women (wow), bikinis (for sure), put both together and an awesome slice (what?), and you'll run into Pizza Rustica. Its on Lincoln Road, girls are a given. But it is the pizza that will leave you craving more. It's a thick, almost frenchbread pizza like, and has the freshest and most imaginative ingredients. Lots of bacons, eggs, fetas, arugalas, eggplants, corns, spinach, potatoes, etc... I hear their BBQ chicken is their most popular. They're done up in huge trays and cut into large rectangles. Trust me this isn't your sissy Tombstone pizza. Walk in and you'll be greeted with displays of slices, that will bring a smile to your face. They will toast them back to life for you once ordered. Otherwise, if you're feeling adventurous, choose your own toppings and order one fresh off the menu. A slice will run around $5-6, and since the Miami is one great happy hour anyway, they usually have bottled beer specials. Definitely recommend as a chill lunch spot with friends, or a casual dinner.

  • Asami S.

    The pizza is tasty, if you get one that you custom select yourself. I would avoid the pre-made squares that they have stagnantly sitting against the glass display. When you custom order it they are forced to bake it freshly. Forget eating here on a weekend night as well. It is unbearably crowded and it takes a long time to get your pizza, unless you go for one of those squares that have been sitting out. It is also a plus that they are open very late. Overall, I like the taste of the pizza because I always custom create mine to match my personal tastes. Avoid if you prefer a doughy crust; this one is crisp and crunchy and like it's name suggests, "rustic".

  • Kevin L.

    I ordered the roasted chicken and corn pizza and the bbq chicken sandwich. It took about an hour for them to deliver to my hotel. Sadly the food came pretty cold. The roasted chicken and corn pizza was actually pretty good despite it being cold. I feel it would have been better warm. I never had corn in my pizzas, so this was an interesting pizza and I'm glad I tried it. The bbq chicken was disappointing. Small chicken slices and everything didn't go together. Pizza is good. Sandwiches not so much.

    Went shopping with my girl on Lincoln Road for the first time in Miami. We weren't going to eat here but I'm glad we did! That pizza was pretty banging! It was flavorful; not bland at all! This place can get pretty crowded and the tables and chairs aren't the cleanest.

    Tasty Pizza CRAP Atmosphere. They really need to up their game. I'd prefer Spris on Lincoln to this place any day of the week and twice on Tuesday. Here's what's wrong: 1. FLIES!! if you like feeling like you're in a camp in Africa shooing flies away constantly, then you'll have plenty of shooing at Pizza Rustica Lincoln Road.. 2. The iced tea is absolutely disgusting. Tasted like sewer water. Gross. 3. THE BLARING techno music. Annoying and you can't even talk to the people you are dining with it's so lound and it's not even good techno music. The only way I'd come back here is if the pizza was being handed out for free and even then I'd grab a slice to go. Go up a block and enjoy Spris. Way more class and value for the money and a waaaaay better experience over all.

    For months and months, I walked by here daily, thinking "boy that looks good," but reminding myself that surely, surely, it wasn't. Finally, hungry and curious, I decided to give it a shot. That was a mistake. I had a "slice" (actually, a giant slab cut into six slices) of arugula pizza with red sauce. The crust was mediocre and the toppings were tasteless, except the cheese, which tasted kind of like feet.

  • Renato S.

    yip. Affordable dining to it's core on lincoln road. Wonderful location and amazing savings makes this a great stop for lunch and even dinner. My only small problem is that the pizza didn't blow me off my feet. It was tastey but I've definetly had better. They are very creative with their pizzas here with a variety of gigantic slices for 4.99 or so.

    There was a time when I liked going here. But pizza joints are all over the beach, and a lot of them are just better. These days, the thought of Pizza Rustica makes my stomach churn in protest. Pros and Cons: Open late. But this is Lincoln Road, so everything is. Big slices, served fast and cheap. But the stuff sitting on top of the pizza is basically the edible version of the La Brea Tar Pits, sitting under a heat lamp for hours before you bite into it. Moral of the story: Don't let this be your go-to Pizza place. There are a lot of other joints that serve great pizza...

    Pizza Rustica...many were the times I have walked through your doors to find myself ordering from the vast variety of your pizzas (and a beer to accompany it). I was thrilled to walk yet again through your doors this past Friday to be welcomed by the aroma of...PIZZA!!! The BBQ chicken and Hawaiian pizzas are AWESOME! The staff is fast and efficient. The beer is cheap and GOOD (I had Stella this time). My friend had one of their panini sandwiches but half of it was ruined by the coke she spilled on it and the table. Well, at least she got to enjoy HALF of it. This is DEF a stop for after hours munchies! I love you Pizza Rustica! I hope we meet again soon!

  • Brent M.

    Possibly the least sophisticated place on Lincoln Road, and that's a good thing. Arguably the best value pizza of anywhere in Miami, never mind in the middle of the Lincoln Road mall where everywhere else charges you the "Tourist/SoBe Premium Tax," as I like to call it. It may not be the *best* pizza around, but it's very good, and very cheap. My personal favorites are the NY steak and the BBQ shrimp. Grab a slice and a beer, and get your people-watching on.

    (4)
  • Agatha C.

    Honestly the only reason I knocked down ONE star is because I felt like the service was a little crazy, although the girl in the front apologized for the wait, I feel like the staff is a little disorganized. However, the pizza is just that god damn good! The prices are amazing really. You get a huge pizza for $4.95? That's amazing, also a gourmet style pizza. Seriously best prices on south beach. I went last night with my boyfriend and we had the meaty meat pizza, roasted chicken and corn (amazing), and the pesto shrimp (which was actually a lot better than I thought it would be) I would definitely recommend this pizza joint to anyone who is new in town. Only thing they need to work on is the bimbos behind the counter. Other then that it was amazing!

  • Chris V.

    Got a slice of the Meat Lovers at about 3pm not busiest time for these guys, so the pizza could have been sitting for awhile, but did not affect the flavor one bit. The crust was crispy, cheese gooey, good quality meats used, and a perfect light red sauce. They take 1 large square and cut it into 4 small slices for you. Enough to fill 1 man or 2-4 of these tiny modelesque women that strut around here.

    (4)
  • Eschel H.

    I find each of these locations to be pretty consistent. They all offer decent pizza for a good price. And I love the fact that you've got a wide variety available by the slice. And the health conscious can have a salad.

  • Shawn P.

    If you have just been partying late night on Lincoln Road there is no better place to go and dry up that excess liquor and settle your stomach. The pizza is better than most with a large variety of choices from traditional to pizza that look like a whole salad on a slice. Here's a secret, order it for delivery to your hotel room or house - the pizza is way better if you are sober because it is fresh made in another location.

    Pizza Rustica perfectly blends big city taste with small town charm. The food is absolutely delicious and with such reasonable prices, you cannot go wrong. I am a local here in Miami and whenever I am in the area I find myself stopping by for a bite. Beautiful atmosphere, splendid portions, and great prices! Pizza Rustica is a piece of Miami you do not want to miss!

    This place is great for a quick lunch that's easy on the wallet in Miami Beach. Pizza Rustic has a large selection of pizzas ready to go and they're huge! You can't beat the price for the size of the slice. They have a variety of pizzas for everyone. From meat lovers to vegetarian and then the great blends like spinach and mushroom with a thick soft crust to boot. They staff was always friendly to me and they have an ATM in the back as well.

  • Eve C.

    After watching college football and drinking all day, I was dying for something to eat. Luckily, Pizza Rustica was on my walk home from the bar. I opted for a slice of the Spicy Sausage pizza and I was not disappointed. There were huge chunks of spicy italian sausage, and a bunch of veggies too. The huge "piece" is really like a big corner of a full pie, which upon heating it up, they cut into 6 small pieces. All for the bargain basement price of $4.75! You can't beat that on the Beach!! They have a ton of different types of pizza to choose from - so take a glance around before you jump at the first one you see. There are a few tables outside and in, if you're not inclined to take yours to go. With the al fresco dining, the Lincoln Road people-watching can't be beat.

    So it was Saturday night and my boyfriend and I were rushing to the MB Convention Center to go to a fashion show. However, we were both hungry and on a budget. He wanted pizza, I wanted a sandwich. Therefore, I thought Pizza Rustica! Obviously, this is one of Lincoln Road's favorite spot. We stood in line for some minutes and I found an empty table inside. It was not 2 minutes that I sat down that a waitress immediately took my order which made my boyfriend get out of the line that he was standing in and take a seat. Our drinks came in less than five minutes but we had to wait 15 minutes for our meal which we understood due to the multitude of people. He ordered the plain cheese pizza with Sprite and I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana Panini with Lemonade. Delicious and hot on both. We were filled to our satisfaction. We later went on to enjoy the evening's event!

  • Gustavo A. L.

    Its fast food fellows !! Just go up to the counter and order whatever fits your fancy. Good selection of any kind of pizza you may think of. They have since expanded their tables so it is far more comfortable and accesible now. We like it, we go everytime we have a chance and never leave dissapointed. Its a good place to spend a few bucks and people watch in Lincoln Road.

  • Shradha A.

    I can't decide whether it's a 3-star or 4-star place. When we went here a couple of years ago, it was very very good. We came back now with that same memory but it didn't live up to our own hype.. I do definitely recommend making your own and fresh... it just tastes much better. I do like their crust a lot so that's a good start... the toppings are in your own hands so don't get too creative with it - keep simple and you can't go wrong..

  • Paul W.

    There are 5 or 6 Pizza Rustica restaurants in the Miami/Hollywood/Lauderdale area. This one on Lincoln Road has always been good each time I've been there... Several different types of pizza from basic cheese to more creative pizzas such as Ceasar Salad, New York Steak, BBQ Chicken and Chocolate Pizza. Service is usually quick (especially when the lady who always yells "NEXT IN LINE!!" is working), and they have a handful of different cold beers available. In a hurry to grab some food and run? Hungry after a night of doing it up on SOBE? In the mood for a decent (but large) slice of pizza? This is the place!

  • Katie W.

    I just don't get this place. I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like it. I've been here on 2 occasions and it's just not a big deal. The pizza sits out and gets cold & even when they reheat it, it still taste like pizza left overs. They have so many fancy complex pizzas, that they forget about the simple ones. All I want is a nice hot pizza with extra cheese or mixed cheese, but I guess that's just too much (or to little) to ask for. I have a feeling this place is over hyped and people are just tasting what they're expecting and not what's really there. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's just me, but I think this pizza is not worth the price. My boyfriend and I found a better place near Alton that makes an amazing pizza with crispy bacon! Can't remember the name, but that's our new pizza place from now on.

  • Janay M.

    Oh Pizza Rustica How you have saved me on so many drunken nights. During sleepless nights last year, During WMC This year and many other Washington ave Saturday nights. I LOVE ricotta cheese so any of their slices that's covered in it will win me over. Don't worry the Cheese and Pepperoni slices look just as tempting as well. Now ordering here is a pain in the bum but once that huge hot slice is handed over to you all is forgiven. Now if only I could talk them into playing better music because If i hear Pitbulls Calle Ocho one more Time in here I'm gonna freak !

    On December 27, in the afternoon, I ordered a salad with different ingredients I marked on their order form. When I asked the cashier if the kitchen could mix in the balsamic vinegar dressing, he refused my request! After I got through the first layer of salad, there no ingredients (eg. carrots, olives,) just lettuce. The charge was $7.65 for a carry out order. What a ripoff!

    The pizza rustica topped with spinach, artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes as well a kalamata olives and sprinkled with cheese is pure heaven! My hubs prefers the BBQ chicken which also has corn, like a full BBQ spread in your mouth.

    I went three times in 4 days, and tried at least two slices each time. It was so good I had to keep going back (and not pay $90 for a drink on Ocean). Whole wheat was really bready and didn't sit well with my drunken self. Chicken was dry, but everything else was really good, highly recommended.

    I've been lucky enough to spend a good portion of my life in NYC. The pizza? Pretty good. I've been to Chicago a few times. The pizza? Pretty damn good. Spent some extended time in Italy. The pizza? Well, yeah. Been to Phoenix many times, home of the often-number-one-rated "Pizzeria Bianco". The pizza? mad good. So, I like pizza. It's kinda amazing that something so simple (dough and things on top of it, then add heat) can often be screwed up so royally. (papa johns). Pizza Rustica gets it. They get the basic fundamental of pizza...good bread with things that taste good on top of it. Yes, sometimes the pizza here can be like a lottery. If you happen to really want a slice of something that, for whatever reason, isn't selling well on that day, you may get pizza which was made hours ago. The crust will be a little soggy, the toppings a little dry. If you go at 3am, you may get bit by a pit bull. If you're lucky enough to choose something fresh out of the oven, you're going to leave Rustica telling all of your friends to go. The standard toppings are safe. (sausage, peppers, pepperoni, etc.) It's worth noting, though, that one of my favorite pizzas there is the one topped with chicken, romaine and caesar dressing. On first glance, you think, "really, heating up caesar dressing?". But, it's pretty damn good. Give it a try. When I moved to Florida, my house became a hotel of sorts. Everyone wanted to come and visit. And, why not? It's beautiful here. I'm pretty certain, without exaggeration, that I've shared Pizza Rustica with every guest. This location is smack in the heart of Lincoln Road. It's really one of the few places where you can get some satisfying food down there without paying a ridiculous amount of money. Pizza Rustica owns a spot on my Miami favorites list.

    I know the name "PIZZA Rustica" does not conjure thoughts of salad. In fact, I avoid places with yummy, fattening foods in their names if I'm looking for a salad because chances are, I won't get the salad. However... not wanting to look like a fatty while visiting with a co-worker who ordered a salad, I decided I'd take the nutritious route as well. I'm very very glad I did. The pizza here IS phenomenal, but the salads are equally, if not more, delish. You can choose everything that goes in your salad. You get a little check list and say "this yes, this no". Eggplant: this YES. Artichoke hearts: this YES. Spinach: this NO. Well.. you get the point. I got a salad piled high with everything I love and some chicken too! My favorite part? They give you these little slices of bread with cheese and tomatoes... reminiscent of this dish you may have heard of called the pizza. So I was able to get a delicious (and nutritious!) salad but still got a taste of the pizza I love so much. Num yummers! My only teensy issue with this place is that techno music blasting. I understand it at night when I am drunkedly stumbling for a slice of something greesy to top off my vodka, but for lunch? Really?? I tried to eat my salad in peace and read a book but my book was NOT about the life works of David Guetta, so it was a bit difficult to enjoy. Otherwise, it's the nummiest.

    Waited forever for a waitress. Waited forever for the pizza. Crappy beer selection. Hair on the pizza. No apology, although they did give me 10% off. I'm thinking about disputing the charges on my credit card. Oh, and 18% Tip included (no wonder the service was McDonalds quality). Will never ever ever return. Best to eat somewhere off Lincoln Rd.

    Hmmm soooo good, soooo big, sooo perfect. This location of Pizza Rustica provides great, large slices or pies in as many varieties as you can imagine. The service was quick & friendly for my recent mid-week lunch. The pizza comes out fresh & piping hot & it's perfect. I think their prices are pretty average for the area & the specials are pretty reasonable as well.

    Probably one of the better and more unique pizza places in Miami. I always order the 'Rustica', my favorite, especially because of the fresh artichokes. Also on this beast of a pizza is some prosciutto, plum tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, tangy sun dried tomatoes, fresh diced tomatoes, kalamata olives and fresh basil. Hard to beat. I've tried the three mushroom, NY steak, and sweet sausage pizzas, and none of them compare to the Rustica. Probably one of the better and more unique pizza places in Miami.

I've tried the three mushroom, NY steak, and sweet sausage pizzas, and none of them compare to the Rustica. Prices are also very reasonable for the big slice of pizza. Now for some cons to this place. It isn't really worth going unless you're already on Lincoln Road for something else (shopping, the movies, etc.). The pizza isn't always fresh. Sometimes it has been sitting there for who knows how long, and you can tell. They do heat it up for you and serve it at a perfect temperature, so that is a plus! One huge problem is their refill situation. Sometimes they're willing to refill your drink with no problems, but I've ran into a situation more than once where they wanna charge me $.60 for a refill, and all I have is my credit card. Sorry, PIzza Rustica, you gotta change this and change it fast. Other than that, this place is great, and gets extra points for being open super late to satisfy those late night pizza cravings.

    AMAZING PIZZA!!!! Any kind of pizza for every type of person. I wish we had one closer to home.

    After a few drinks, Pizza Rustica becomes the BEST pizza around. The crust is thick and toppings cover the pizza. For around $5, you can get a rectangular slice made up of 6 small squares. The variety available is awesome. Anyone can find a type of pizza they will like here. So far, I've enjoyed the Spicy Sausage w/ Red Onions, Green & Red Peppers, the Margherita & the Chicken Parmesan. All have had good flavor and very decent ingredients. I like my pizza a little more saucy than they tend to serve but again, after a couple of drinks, who cares? This location is better than the one on 9th & Washington. It feels bigger and definitely has better ventilation. There's also plenty of seating in front of the restaurant, which the other location lacks. Staff was quick and efficient. No time for pleasantries, but not the typical SoBe attitude either. I had to hold back a star because I haven't had a slice when I've been sober yet. So my review is probably a little bit skewed.

    Ok so you are on Lincoln Rd. and want a quick bite to eat. You do not want to deal with the typical lousy tourist service this is your place. There are tons of seats to people watch here.Finally a fast food place that nailed it on quality. The pizza is not NY thin crust pizza. They are huge squares that one is more then enough for me then run in price from $3.50 to $5.95. All the veggies are fresh yes fresh very impressive. Even their muhrooms pizza has fresh mushrooms on it. The quality and prices are great this place is awesome you will be seeing my face over and over again :)

    So this place was really good, I really enjoyed the different styles of pizza. Let me also say that I'm sort of a pizza sob - I LOVE the stuff. There crust was absolutely delicious - my only complaint is they could maybe tone down on the olive oil - but it was still amazing even w/ the olive oil flavor. The sauce is equally incredible - you could see the stewed and mashed tomatoes - it was finger licking good. I had the Blue Cheese and spinach - not sure what kind of sauce it had, but it was really good. Go out on a limb, you won't be disappointed.

    I absolutely cannot say enough about this place. If you havent been here then you need to go immedately. The food is amazing, the prices are reasonable, and the service is usually very quick and chipper. Its one of those places that you can just pop into, grab a slice, and just eat it while you window shop. I love that. Definately a MUST.

  • Cecile S.

    I guess dealing with drunk people on a regular basis makes the staff at pizza rustica irritable. The service from every person we encountered was extremely rude. When we asked for the check the waitress snapped back at us that she wasn't in charge of our table. Well ok thanks! The pizza quality was not as good as it has been in the past. No one at our table left satisfied. The slices were cut smaller than usual too. I'm going to stay away from this location and stick to the Washington Ave one. I suggest you do the same.

    All I have to say is Bar-B-Q Chicken Pizza...go get some right now....what are you waiting for...GO!! Well if you're still reading then I guess I can proceed to tell you that Pizza Rustica is one of my favorite late night spots. It's a no frills pizza joint but with so many different choices for pizzas instead of just cheese and pepperoni. They make several different pizzas with some of the combinations of toppings being kind of crazy but they all manage to taste amazing. Do yourself a favor and the next time you want to get a quick bite to eat then swing by the nearest Pizza Rustica a scoop up a slice.

  • Katie M.

    This review is long overdue...especially considering today was likely the 4-5th time that I've had a Pizza Rustica salad for not only lunch but dinner. Yes, I know, I really need to learn how to make my own salads! However, when an enormous, delicious and made to order salad on Lincoln Road costs less than $8, I can't resist! Pick your fave kind of lettuce and then choose from six different sorts of cheese, six kinds of meat and a massive variety of veggies...and indulge in one of their mega yummy breadsticks. The restaurant isn't fancy and they bump crazy club music at a volume level that is a bit too loud for my taste, but salads are great and the Lincoln Road people watching can't be beat.

    Great for late night eats after boozing in South Beach. What I really like about the place was the variety. You walk in and are immediately overwhelmed by a large number of different pre-cooked , HUGE slices of pizza ready to be re-heated and devoured in a few minutes. All kinds of toppings and combos: spinach, chicken, sausage, sliced eggs, tomato, olives, peppers,etc. etc. etc. The downside is because everything is pre-made, there is no need (or desire to wait for) a freshly made pie, which I am sure would be even better than what I tasted. Was it the best pizza I ever had? No. But it was good and when I find myself stumbling down Lincoln Road at 1am, I will most likely head in and grab a slice to soak up the night's hard work. BTW, you only need ONE slice unless you didn't eat all day. I made the mistake of getting two and ending up have the second one for lunch the next day.

    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Pizza Rustica. Best pizza I've ever had. But i would like to take a moment to hate on the lunch special. It's $9.99 for a slice, a salad and a soda. Cool. A slice is usually $5, so that means the salad and soda are $5. Whether or not that is a good deal depends on the salad, n'est-ce pas? Enter salad. Sad, sad salad. Half a handful of limp greens topped with chopped tomatoes, shredded carrots and raw onions with a side of balsamic vinaigrette. Barf. It was wet and small and gross. I guess that's better than wet and big and gross. Less to throw out. They could've at least given me a choice of dressing to drench the grossness in. Honestly, the "lunch special" is a total waste of money. Especially considering I work in a building that has cans of soda for $0.65 each. They were also super swamped with a lunch/tourist crowd around 2pm and forgot I'd ordered the not-so-"special." So not only was it gross, but I had to wait for it. Worsticles.

    Gourmet Pizza to the MAX... Miami... Wow. We always try a new kind every time we go and share. They have expanded their outdoor seating! Good job! Do try it if you have a hanker for some crazy (or traditional) pizza and you are in the SoBe area. Shrimp on pizza??? Yep! Salad on Pizza? Saves me the effort of shoveling the salad into my mouth with a fork while I eat my pizza.

    Pizza Rustica? More like Pizza Fantastica! It's basically the most delicious pizza in the world. I live in NY, and in a city where there are pizza joints practically every block, I still dream of Pizza Rustica. I recommend this place to every single person that says they are visiting Miami. If you haven't been yet, you must go! Now!!! You won't be let down. One slice is more than enough to fill you up, and fulfill all of your pizza dreams.

    I love Pizza! Okay let's start with that, if its pizza-Im all for it. I think tehre are so many pizza rustica locations just in the beach alone, maybe thats why its so popular. I ordered a bbq chicken pizza in which Ive had from almost everywhere. This pizza was square, not a crispy or crunchy texture..more of a thick doughy bread. I actually enjoyed the flavor of the pizza-it seemed as if there was a mix between bbq sauce and tomato sauce, there wasn';t one distinct flavor. Toppings were good brought some peppers and onions. I do have to say though-I like the bbq chicken pizza better at Grooveys, or Gino's pizza anyday. And the staff here seems a bit rude and rushed. I didnt even get to sit down yet when a waitress asked if I was done. When I was waiting on my food. Its very cramped inside and hectic. END RESULT" good pizza if your starving and in the area....for better pizza HIt up Groovey's or Gino's Pizza and Brew.

    I have always shamelessly drooled as I walked by people eating Pizza Rustica on Lincoln...and one fine day, I finally dived in for the real deal and I must say...it's probably the best pizza I had in a long time! Option to wait in line for a table inside or outside or to buy and go outside..sit on that grass patch thingy and still people watch?? Option two for me, please! I had the "special pizza" with chicken, canadian bacon and corn. My friend advised against getting two slices...which was a wise decision. I ordered a bottle of sweetened ice tea...which was perfect. Don't remember the brand of it now. We sat outside and picked at our pizza. It's cut into 8 smaller pieces..and the usually-greedy me only had 6! It was that filling! I was sooooooooooooo pleased and fulfilled after! Thank you PR for satisfying my crazy carb cravings and for making me feel guiltless because I know it was worth every damn bite! Tip-bits: Cash only, I believe Unlesss you are starving, order one slice. It really fills you up! Tip the staff, they can remember your order and get it right..as the line grows insanely long on a weekend! They are THAT good! :) I heard they open till 5am!

    The pizza is alright not that great, only reason I eat it is because they are close to my house and are open late. Everytime I order they take it upon themselves to replace my toppings with what they think will do. I HATE THAT!! If i order asiago cheese dont overload me with mozzarella instead. I would have chosen no cheese at all. Ok the pizza kinda sucks it always comes soggy and falls apart. Now let me get started with the service at this place...OMG its bad. They employ the rudest biaaatchezzz on the planet. They arent even good looking so why do I have to take their crap? They seem to all be from Argentina and boy does the arrogant rumor apply! The other day I was eating at Nexxt and watching two of the girls physically fighting in their uniforms right in front of customers with their children. It was extremely entertaining to say the least. This place is only good for people who cant spend much but still want to have the people watching experience of lincoln road. Listen to the advice of Lisa C. Go to Spris. I loveee Spris oh sooo yummy.

    Ahhh Yes, Pizza Rustica on Lincoln Rd. This place gets 5 stars from me every time. It's just so perfect. It's open late. They got big slices, and lots of styles.

    Pizza Rustica brings back great memories of my time in Rome since the pizza there is cut into squares and on display like they have them. It also tastes like its Roman counterpart with the freshness of its toppings and the perfection of its crust. I'm happy I don't have to travel to Rome to have pizza like that. Pizza Rustica is the best in Miami, and by the amount of people sitting all around the restaurant you know that this has to be true. What makes it so good? Aside from what I have already mentioned- it's also great because of the variety of pizza that they offer- they have something there for everybody! Another reason why it's the best is also the price- it's super cheap for a good 4 slices of square pizza! Why else? Because when you've just left Buck 15- and you can't see straight, nothing tastes better than a warm, cheesy, fresh slice of homemade pizza!

    One of the better chains in Miami. Usually it's solid everytime. Tried there margarita pizza as well as the Arugula salad pizza. The latter was delicious for different take. The margarita is pretty good but the recipe seems to be changing lately for more a more mainstream style.

  • Carlos D.

    Oh, the eternal, infallible Pizza Rustica. Dealer of deep comfort and unmatched recourse to the somnambulant alcohol-fueled masses of Miami Beach. Forget talking about the delicious and perfectly proportioned square slices, Pizza Rustica deserves a humanitarian award for sobering up half of Miami well enough to drive home. It's not perfect and it certainly doesn't taste as great when you're not drunk, but Pizza Rustica is a uniquely Miami Pizza experience that's almost always worth taking (and surprisingly Abuela-approved.) Best flavors: Canadian Bacon, Roasted Chicken and Corn Pizza, New York Steak Pizza, Caesar Salad on Whole Wheat Pizza, Spinach and Blue Cheese Pizza, Three Mushroom Pizza, Chicken Fiorentina Pizza. Advice: The sandwiches are good, the salads are not. Do not eat Pizza Rustica more than twice a week, it's easy to get sick of.

    This is the place for Pizza on South Beach. I have been to all 3 locations and the product is consistently good at all of them. I have never tried their plain cheese pizza but have tried just about every other type offered there. They have tons of unique toppings and these slices are bursting with flavor. For $5.00 you have your order ready to go. Typically I can't even finish the slice. It is that filling! The place is full of energy with some great music pumping through the sound system. They are even open late for that much needed snack after a night of clubbing. I recommend taking the pizza to go when at the Lincoln Road location. Service can be a bit slow.

    Great late night pizza! So great, we went back the next day for lunch, and it was still great! That's how you know a spot is fantabulous. In the craziness of Halloween on Lincoln Rd in South Beach, I got my cheese slices within a fairly decent time frame. The next day for lunch, I had the BBQ Shrimp and Caprese and it was heaven on a paper plate sitting next to a rainy window! Our waitress was fun and lively, and danced to the constant techno music during our stay. She also settled a bet between my fiance and I on her age. *I won.*

  • Ana K.

    The pizza is GREAT, the service is HORRENDOUS! I've dined here several times and the food is always delicious, but the service varies from lethargic to non existent. I think it's because it is Lincoln Road, tourist central, and most of these people will not return, or will the next year when they're in vacation again. It's unfortunate the restaurants here have this mentality, as locals also dine in the area. They tip is already included n the bill like always in Miami Beach, so slow service or not, they still get the 18%.

    Miami Beach's primo spot to "catch a slice" when the hunger pangs strike and nothing will quite set it straight as a legit slice as you walk Lincoln Road Mall. I enjoyed a business lunch there today on my recommendation, as my two associates had never heard of the place (they're both non-Yelpers of course....). They both loved it, we had a full pie, half done Hawaiian and the other Chicken Fiorina (or something to that effect) which consists of huge white chicken breast chunks, artichoke, spinach and mozzarella! Very fulfilling goodness. A tip for first timers - Make sure to order your pizza by the slice! This was the first time that I had eaten from a whole pie made-to-order and I was as impressed as when I picked from their vast selection of pre-assembled slices as the photos in the gallery demonstrate. Why so? I believe its because they bake the pie crusts first and use just the right amount of olive oil to properly "grease up" and preserve each slice, then assemble it awaiting a customer's order to complete the bake and leave the individual slice in what I call, absolute perfection..... The whole pie just isn't as sumptuous as the singles..... Just my two cents. So when in South Beach, do them justice and taste the legitimate Italian-ess of it all, as their version of what a slice is supposed to be like is like no other in the area. Keep in mind that the best fringe benefit of all is the people watching in the area that attracts every lifestyle imaginable.

    This is a great cheap lunch option on Lincoln Road. My wife and I both had delicious slices of quality pizza, on wheat crust (which we both loved), for only five bucks. These slices were loaded with quality toppings. The slices are so big that they cut them into six little slices when they bring them out to you and one slice would be a meal for about 80% of the population. Having a lunch for two for under $15 while people watching and eating outside on Lincoln Road is simply an amazing deal.

    If loving Pizza Rustica is wrong, I don't want to ever be right. I've been eating here for years before I even moved to Miami. The flavor concepts are creative, and the execution is flawless. Their staff is very energetic and they can keep up with incredible demand, even on Halloween night. WARNING: it's very difficult to eat only one slice :)

    Well umm I guess I over-did it. The past couple times I ordered from them either they were out of the pizza I wanted or they just messed up my order. The pizza we got was just okay. I would rather take my chances with Dominos or Pizza Hut from now on. At least they are consistent. Oh and on one order they forgot to give me the soda, and I complained to the delivery person which he simply replied....."sorry." No offer to replace or discount or anything! The following order I told them on the phone I didn't get my soda on the last order and they billed me for it. Bad customer service. I wont be calling back for a long time. They still owe me a soda!!!

    The pizza was okay. This place did not have the New York style pizza I was looking for. Almost all of the pizza are pan style, with thicker crust except for one that is specifically just thin crust cheese pizza. I'm sure you can add whatever toppings you want to suit your tastes. They definitely have a large selection of pizzas. I believe at least 15 different pre-made types to order by the slice. I ordered the Spinaci e Blue Cheese pizza. The toppings were good, but the pizza itself seemed a little greasy. I know this seems like a ridiculous comment about a food that is topped with cheese, but not all pizza is greasy. It could have been because the crust was thick and absorbed lots of oil from the cheese. I'm not sure what it was, but it was more oily than I am accustomed to. I would say that if you're looking for a large selection of pizza by the slice then this place is good for you. However, if you're looking for New York style thin crust, look somewhere else.

  • Stephanie S.

    Pizza Rustica has the great idea of letting you get a pie with half of one combination of toppings (like barbecue chicken) and something different on the other half (like the New York steak). It worked really well and everyone was very happy with the choice. they also make a decent margarita slice, which is not in the traditional New York pizza slice style. The Pizza Rustica slices are larger and cut into little squares. This is a nice idea if you are sharing slices, but in my world, pizza slices are not shared. Service was okay. Our waitress seemed a little preoccupied with talking with her friends, but that was okay. We sat outside and watched the ocean of people stroll by on Lincoln Road. Is this New York pizza? no way, but its not bad either. A good under $10 a person lunch.

    Hot, cheap, fast, AND delicious - all on a paper plate. I paid $4.75 for a really big portion of very yummy BBQ Chicken pizza. It was loaded with big chunks of chicken and lots of fresh vegetables. There were at least a dozen different options, many that looked like they had some gorgeous salads piled on top of them. It was hard to decide! I also had a little plastic cup of white wine and the total was still under $10. Heck yeah. I was surrounded by massses of cute gay boys and the loud Spanish music was bumping away. Great alternative when you don't have time (or the $$$) for the other lovely Lincoln Rd. options!

    How? Might I ask, do you beautiful SOBE people stay so slim and slender when you have the option of consuming Pizza Rustica anyday you want?! Speaking from experience, the two times I visited South Beach I consumed half of my meals at Pizza Rustica-and this was holding back! Maybe you opt for the wheat crust? Maybe you only allow yourself the veggie pizza? Or maybe you only get ONE large slice versus the two I must get . Yes I do feel guilty as I use both hands to carry the four plates it takes to hold my two overflowing slices of pizza. But I withstand the judgement. The minute I take a bite into the Tomato Basil, or the Hawaiin, or the Pesto with Chicken, Im in Rustica heaven!!! The ingredients are the freshest you will find at ANY pizza place. Joyfully all 20 or so pizza options are displayed in the window for your viewing and consuming pleasure. You know whats on your pizza and there are no suprises. None of the ingredients look wilted or spoiled. They look as good as they taste. Just one of the many reasons why I Love Love Miami!!!!

    This is the second time we have experienced rude customer service from this location. Most of the wait staff does not care about customer service and refuse to come back to the table to give the receipt, pick it up, etc. I understand Miami laid back and like it, but this is out of hand! I have contacted Pizza Rustica corporate and they were very professional and genuinely appeared to try to take steps to correct this location. If you must eat at this location, order inside, and eat at any of their tables. Still a fan of the pizza/price, but will not order from the wait staff again and waste our 18% tip.

    Like most pizza joints, it's open late, it's fast, it's inexpensive. Unlike most places, you have a lot of choices. All kinds of pizzas by the slice! It's nice to have options. I don't really eat much pizza, but this place was pretty good.

    This is one of the best pizza place i have tried and there slices are huge but not your typical slice no u get a square peace and you can choose from many different toppings like the one i had was Blue cheese and spinach the only thing is they are a bit over priced for one square it will cost you $4.50 but it was a good tasty pizza witch i enjoyed in a upscale area of Miami Beach known to be an area for rich people.

    Rustica is the crowd favorite pizza place on Lincoln Road and it's easy to see why. They have a lot of choices and good prices, plus you can pull up a chair and people watch while putting away the pizza and soda. The ease of service (no crazy long waits, no haughty attitude, or overpriced food) and long hours, plus pretty good pizza is what makes this place so popular. If you're going with friends, send in two people max with the order and have all available eyes looking for soon to be vacated tables. During South Beach Comedy Festival this place is also a prime viewing spot for free comedy shows.

    For $4.50 and $4.75, I had two slices of pizza - 1) funghi and 2) spinach with blue cheese) and they both were really good. I can't really explain what type of pizza Rustica serves though - it's not New York style, it's not Chicago style, and it's not even Italian style. Not Egyptian, Brazilian, Colombian or Argentinian. Maybe it's just a new "original" and it is what is making Miami well known since in the pizza circles, Rustica is pretty well respected, especially now that they're going nationwide. So for now, I'll just call it Miami style pizza - the dough is similar to focaccia in thickness and airiness. Toppings are plentiful and varied. But other than that, I don't think it's the best. I don't think it is the cheapest either. I just give it props for giving good pizza a class of its own. EDITED: Pizza connoisseurs have informed me that pizza rustica is in fact a type of pizza. "Pizza is cooked in long, rectangular baking pans and relatively thick (1-2 cm). The crust similar to that of an English muffin and mostly cooked in an electric oven." (Lazio-style Pizza (Rome), Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi… ) RETURNED: The experience was mixed... they didn't warm up my pizza enough so some of the slices I had tasted a bit uncooked and cold. I dropped the rating from 4 to 3 stars. There's many pizza joints in Miami Beach and some of them wouldn't even hand out uncooked pizza. Apparently this place isn't very consistent.

    Great place on Lincoln road to satisfy your pizza cravings!! But mind you the pizzas are huge. So a 14" is more than enough for 3 people (well exceptions being a starving group of young guys who in their right frame of mind can gobble up anything). If you are in a group of 5 and more, I recommend their 4-play pizza which is a HUGE combination of 4 pizzas of your choice served in a refreshing square shape (instead of the usual circle). Even 5 of us had trouble finishing the whole thing (2 guys and 3 girls). Its pretty common to get your pizza packed in the boxes they provide, you would see many ppl do the same. Recommended: Their lemon ice tea; its not a freshly made tea but whatever bottle they have (forgot to check the label), its delicious and a good pairing with the pizza. This place is open till 3 am, so could be a great option if you are nursing an early hangover and just scrambling for some late night grub.

    Hands down best pizza in all of Florida. Heck, it maybe the best pizza anywhere! And while there are a good handful of other Pizza Rustica's in the surrounding cities, this one is by far the best in terms of consistency and variety. Pizza Rustica is a South Beach icon to local and tourist alike. And if you don't feel like leaving your hotel or apartment after a long day at the beach, just get it delivered - it's free, fast, and cheap!! Did I mention they're open at all hours of the night?!

    We love to end our night at South Beach eating here. They have many unique toppings unimaginable. The portions are huge, we love the fact they are open late. The veggie pizza is amazing!! The food is consistently good; service sometimes can be a little slow. This is "the spot" in Lincoln Road where you can satisfy your hunger dirt cheap. Definitely recommend.

    It's not the best pizza in the world, but the toppings rock. They give you a huge rectangular slice (Roman style) for under 5 bucks in a ground zero tourist location. For the $ and location you won't find better.

    Whenever I am in South Beach I have to visit this place. Yummy pizza in strange and exotic concoctions. Just ate there last night right before the "hurricane" hit. There tomato sauce is sweet and tangy. Try several types as it is CHEAP.. a nice change from the typical SB dining experience. I am not sure what is better the pizza or the people watching!

    They've got great pizzas at Pizza Rustica... as soon as you walk in you'll be greeted by an army of pizzas lying in front of you waiting to attack your hunger! With so many choices to choose from (I think over 20) it won't be long before a pizza that's calling out to you. They cover vegetarians as well as meatarians ( youtube.com/watch?v=K6p9… ) and everything in between. Some pizzas even came on wheat crust, for those types out there that like to order diet coke in the midst of a 1000 calorie fast food meal. My personal favorite so far has been the NY Strip Steak pizza though the shrimp one came in at a close second. The slices are also pretty large, especially for the price and they do a good job of filling you up. I actually wished the slices were smaller only so that I could try out more choices on a limited stomach! But thats hardly a thing worth complaining about. Its also a NY style pizza that doesn't have think Chicago style crust. The space inside is cramped and its probably better to be eating outside. Good luck finding a spot because they'll most likely be taken by no-good tourists such as myself. Also, fighting the crowds might be a chore for those of you quiet/polite folk. Overall a great place to try for pizza lovers and a spot I want to hit again when I'm back in town.

    OMG! The best pizza ever!!!! I can't go to Sobe without eating here . . . and it has gotten to the point when I've got slices to go to take on the plane ride back to Cali. Disgusting . . . I realize this . . . but it seriously is that good. Even some of my uber health conscious companions will cave in for this place and share a slice with me . . . muhaha ;) And sharing a slice is soooo the way to go. The slices are ginormous: they cut them in to 6 or so smaller square slices and have to overlap 2 plates just to have room for the whole thing ha The toppings are so great . .. . and random . . . you will see options including hard boiled eggs and corn . . . but it just all works so well. (Less adventurous diners fear not, they have the standard pepperoni type options as well.)

    4.5 Stars Pizza Rustica is great for several reasons! First, they're open super late night. So when you are getting out of the club at 4am and you need to sober up for your drive home, you can always count on Pizza Rustica. Plus, they have 2 locations on Washington - 8th and 14th, and one location on Lincoln in between Meridian and Pennsylvania. So wherever you are on the beach, you can have Pizza Rustica! Second, the pizza is delicious!!! I don't know what kind of style it is, but its more like a sicillian than anything else, because its that thick kind of pan pizza. My favorite is the 3 mushrooms, but the chicken florentine is superb! The veggie pizza is excellent, so is this one that has bleu cheese on it! Anything you try will delight your tastes! :)

  • Kathi C.

    It's a little more fru-fru than the pizza-by-the-slice in New York City, where you can smell good pizza from outside the place. But there's something special about six little squares of pizza, making a perfect portion for a decent priced lunch in South Beach or post clubbing snack. My favorites are the 3-mushroom, spicy sausage, or the spinach and blue cheese, for something un-traditional!

  • Melisa S.

    We got a margarita pizza because there were no thin-crust selections by the slice. In the meanwhile had regular slice which was just ok. The girl behind the desk had attitude when I asked her where my drink was (that I had just looked her in the eye and ordered clearly a minute earlier). She needed to ring me up again. The pizza came out with one piece of basil on it, although was good. I just have very low tolerance for attitude and having worked as a waitress in my past find no reason for it. Most of the time service in Miami isn't the most refined, but usually people are friendly. This was the exception.

  • Tiffany L.

    I never ever choose to eat pizza but I'm sure glad I did. My friends and I stopped in here for a quick bite because it was convenient and we just happened to stumble in here while shopping. They have an insane assortment of pizzas that I have never seen before! We tried the tomato basil and the chicken corn and I loved both. The waitress was extremely sweet and quick. Note: If you dont want to pay the 18% gratuity they automatically tack on, don't sit down and just order at the counter.

  • Jenny L.

    Great selection of pizza..toppings that I couldn't even make up if I tried. We just ordered a pepperoni pie, and it was tasty. The wait staff is very attentive and friendly. Good atmosphere, as are all the other places on Lincoln Road.

    Pizza Rusitca is a BANG FOR YOUR BUCK spot! The slices they serve are like the size of California! I've been jipped by my fellow New Yorkers all this time!! NYC needs to catch on!

    I really don't know what the hype is with this place. I think the pizza is mediocre at best. There a million better pizza places on the beach.. even no name places have more tasy pizza. I really wouldn't recommend it.

    I hate spinach and I hate blue cheese but damn, the spinach and blue cheese pizza from rustica is out of control! It may have been that my girlfriend fed it to me after a late nite when we first got together that got me hooked, but really, you MUST try it. This little pizza place is just a few doors down from Score on Lincoln Road and perfect for a post-drunkenness, pre driving treat! Check it out!

    On a Sunday night, avoid like the plague. Lincoln Ave. has an open market on Sundays and the street is overrun with people. And, an inexpensive pizza restaurant is consequently overrun, also. A local sitting next to us assured us that service is never very good at this location, but definitely worse on Sunday. After waiting over 45 minutes (and having to waive down a waitress for a second beer and to ask where our pizza was), we finally received our medium Caprese. It was half cold, half lukewarm. I noticed that a pizza that looked like it had been delivered 2 tables over and waived away as a mistake 10 minutes earlier (at least). I suspect our pizza was misdelivered...then eventually delivered to us. We complained to the waitress about the temp of the pizza and she went and got a manager who asked what would make us happy. I said I didn't want to pay for the pizza. He comped the drinks also and we left. I wouldn't go back on a busy night. Who knows how it is on a quieter evening. There did seem to be a lot of other unhappy customers, however, so...

    After a long day shopping on Lincoln road I kept seeing people walk by with a bright red box or munching on some abnormally large delicious looking pizza. Eventually I walked into Pizza Rustica....i was NOT disappointed. The selection of rectangular pizza slices was quite overwhelming. I settled on the veggie pizza. There were heaping chunks of fresh veggies... broccoli, spinach, peppers, onion. On top of being tasty it was huge! I ate some for dinner and had enough to eat at 4am after a night out dancing in south beach. The only downside is that it took about 15 minutes to get our pizza. It was very crowded and each piece of pizza has to be heated in the oven. However, if that is the price I have to pay for good pizza I can deal with it. I am on a mission t find a Pizza Rusticca in SoCal.

  • Barron C.

    I visited Miami last AUGUST, and I'm still thinking about Pizza Rustica and its deliciousness. My fellow out-of-towners and I ate Pizza Rustica at least one meal a day... often more, since we had leftovers. I dug the spinach and feta cheese pizza, and I know we ordered a variety but I can't remember which ones exactly. They were all orgasmic.

  • Sarah S.

    Seriously people. I have been to many a pizza joints in my time and this place is awesome. Although Miami wasn't exactly my town (seriously Florida, why do you have to be so damned flat? Do you need god to make you some hills?) this was one of THE highlights of my whole trip. It has several different types of pizza. I had the Chicken Parmesan pizza(fried chicken on a pizza, what more can you ask for?), and my friend had the Caprise which was equally as good. It had a New York style pizza place atmosphere and they have seating outside along the famous Lincoln street. If you're in Miami I would suggest going here, because South Beach is the only place worthwhile to see.

  • Nelson A.

    Pizza Rustica has not charged in 15 years. The pizza is out of this world. This is high praise from a kid from Chicago. Its a square cut tray pizza with all the best ingredients that you can get. I can't pick which pizza is my favorite. Make your own salad( I can't believe I'm even saying this) is unbelievable! This is the first time I had table service at this restaurant, and it's great.

  • Laurie L.

    one of my absolute FAVORITE lincoln road destinations! not only is the people watching unbelievably good at this spot, but the pizza is absolutely fabulous. um hello, $4.95 for a huuge rectanglar masterpiece?! sign me UPPP! they have SO many different pizza varieties that will surely please every picky palate. i've tried the chicken&spinach florentine, veggie, cheese, and caesar salad pizzas. the florentine and veggie were absolutely delicious. the caesar? ehh not so much. i think the BEST advice i have is to walk inside the restaurant while you're waiting for your table - they have ALL the pizzas on display! it definitely helps to see what looks good and...what doesn't. it really doesn't get any better (or cheaper) than pizza rustica. LOVES IT. p.s. they charge for soda refills! just a heads up.

  • Orlando J.

    Love it! Too bad the usual waitress isnt here today...the one taking care of us now is a witch! Its only 11AM! No manners, no greeting! :( Can't wait for the Doral location to open...eventhough I love to have an excuse to go to Lincoln Road.

  • Phil L.

    Defiantly as good as EVERYONE says it is. It stays open late - I dropped in at about 3am. Great fusion pizzas. I had a slice of the shrimp creole, bbq chicken and a pepperoni. I didnt eat all three (wish I could of) - couldn't finish it all. great portions for the price. I think the only down fall is that there are not free refills but it is the beach...

  • Cristy M.

    I think this place is a little overrated. There, I said it. The pizza's ok. I like the variety they offer of their "gourmet" style pizza but I guess when they offer so many options, it's no surprise that they'd have them all sitting there in a heating pan and pulling out slices or slabs one at a time to be placed in the oven as you order. I've had them build pizzas for a table, too, so that we could have them sitting out on the patio, and those have been noticeably better than when I just walk up and order a slice or a "slice." I'm convinced people like this place most because of the location and because it's a bit of an affordable easy-stop oasis that offers of all things PIZZA, which is usually a hit. It's good, but not that good. It's far from great. But I've been there plenty of times and I'm sure that I'll be visiting it again soon and just as frequently as before.

  • Chris C.

    I have tried a lot of different pizza places in my life, as well as a few different places while vacationing here in Miami Beach and this place is the best of it's class so far. It's so good that we went there more than once. The price is right, there are plenty of different types of pizza to choose from and the staff is very friendly. It's great place to grab lunch and sit out on the boardwalk or hit up on the way home from the club. My favorite pizza was the spinach and bleu cheese. I wish I knew about this place when I went to Miami the same time last year. I will definately eat there again in the future.

  • Lindsey T.

    Service was terrible. I wasn't impressed with the pizza either. I wish gratuity wasn't included. Maybe she would have actually paid attention to us if she knew she would get a tip out of it. Instead, she talked w the other waitresses and checked her texts on her phone. I'd have rather ordered Domino's Pizza.

  • Alice H.

    While visiting Miami from CA with some friends, we were wandering Lincoln aimlessly searching for somewhere to grab a quick to-go sandwich ... which apparently doesn't exist on Lincoln, we were quick to find out. We ended up in Pizza Rustica as a last resort and were all more than satisfied after scarfing our delicious warm pie in a record 15 seconds flat. The only downside to the meal was that it was balls hot outside and sweating while you're eating pizza is not hot.

    (4)
  • Liz Z.

    had a "slice" (more like a 'square') of the con 3 funghi pizza during a warm Friday with a good friend who had recommended the place. the place is cheap, serves extremely large portions of pizza "slices" (quite a contrast to what South Beach health craze-rs would consider 'portion'), and the service is appropriate enough for a pizza joint. plus, the wait staff doesn't give you the stink eye if all you get is pizza and a baby bottle of Pellegrino. when i come back to SoBe, i'm definitely checking this place out again. it's a must-go if you or anyone you care about LOVES pizza. i'm just scared to bring my husband here (being the pizza-feign that he is), because i swear he'll be packing this place's portions into his lunch bag day-in and day-out. then i'll have to make sure to sneak in a couple of Tums tablets for the side effects. yes, it's THAT good!

  • Vanessa A.

    I was amazed with the flavors of their pizza, and our server was so kind and polite. But wait until you try to use their restroom - it was beyond disgusting... I mean I didn't expect an amazing bathroom, but that was GHETTO: there were just 2 stalls and I couldn't pick which one was the least gross! There was pee all over the floor and toilet seats, trash cans overflowing and piling up with paper on the floor, not to mention there was ZERO toilet paper left and neither paper for the hands (didn't the technology of blower arrive at Lincoln road yet?). So I had to go to the kitchen to ask for toilet paper (I figured to ask someone to clean the entire bathroom would take too long), so then the people on the kitchen starts to argue in Spanish (did they think I couldn't understand it?) saying that I was the 3rd customer that complains about the lack of toilet paper. They got lost on their Spanish argument without acknowledging that was still standing there. I had to leave and get napkins from my table and resolve this matter on my own. Wow Pizza Rustica, a proper management would not let this go by... And to think that their staffs use that disgusting bathroom did not look good either!! Come on just a decent bathroom would do - is that really too much to ask?

    Just having been down in miami all last week for WMC I made a point of stopping by Pizza Rustica. Hands down the best pizza in miami! The slices are huge - they cut each one into 6 small squares. My fav is the spicy sausage and the new york steak. But everything Ive had there was banging. I got 2 slices - ate half for diner then came home at 6am from Shine and had a drunken meal waiting for me.

    (5)
  • Michael B.

    Amazing! This is one of my favorite places in the world. I would come just to Miami to get some pizza. Before 11pm or so, you can order the huge pizza for under $20. After 11pm or whenever the drunks are out, the prices go up and are by slice only. Sober or drunk, I love this pizza. Excellent location right near Lincoln and all the bars. Highly recommended!

  • Alicia T.

    I consider myself a pizza junkie. Hm, Pizza Rustica. This pizza is blah at best to me. Mind you, I have not tried all the exotic concoctions everyone is mentioning in their reviews. When I try a new pizza place, I like to keep it simple with the regular meats (pepperoni, sausage, ham, whatever) and thats what I got at this location last year. I have tried this place twice and both times left me wishing I'd saved the calories for something more satisfying. I love that they serve by the slice, that the slices are huge, and that they're cheap (especially for this area), but there is NOTHING special about their slices. They have all the pizza's sitting out and then they heat it up when you order. Both times, my slices kind of just tasted like bland, re-heated pizza that I had for dinner last night, and the pizza never was heated to the point where the cheese was gooey. It just got very warm. The crust is very thick and to me, not very flavorful so you get alot of blah bread for nothing. I would NEVER EVER NEVER go to this place if I want pizza. I would rather spend $5 and get a thin buttery crusted, fresh, pepperoni from *gasp* should I even dare say Little Ceasars? But, I guess I'm in the minority so Eat on south Floridians! P.S. I thought this place was only good for people that have been getting hammered all night on sobe.

  • Jen C.

    Yum, I'm sold. Tons of creative different types of big slices of pizza. Nicely warmed with a crispy crust. It was fantabulous. I went here once late night when all the drunkies were out - that was a very chaotic time to try and get pizza. It was completely disorganized in taking orders, getting your order, and paying. You would think the girls behind the counter would've had it figured out a little better because I'm sure this is a nightly occurrence there on the weekends. But oh well, we eventually got our pizza and were happy once we ate it. Just a few seats indoors and plenty of outdoor seating. The hostess standing outside was a little pushy in trying to get us to get a seat at one of their tables... Um, excuse me - No thank you - I can order my pizza and carry it out myself.

    (4)
  • Marcos R.

    I like that you can get pizza by the slice and that they've got tons of unique slices already available just waiting to be reheated. For me, I can't have a full fledged dinner, then go drinking/clubing. It's gotta be moderate to a light meal before I go out, if anything at all. So a healthy sized slice of love from Rustica does the trick for me.

  • Sierra F.

    I don't like pizza at all but this one gave me a glimpse of what I was missing . I don't believe that I will be having pizza often but if it were like this I may change my mind . Good special for 9.99

    Pizza Rustica literally saved my life during the 2007 - WMC. Decent pizza when you are starving to death from too much partying. Good range of toppings and it's quick......so you can get back to what's important. DANCING!

  • Joel S.

    I am not a fan of this place at all. it would get 5 stars for variety, but the 2 for execution - and honestly thats really what its all about. The pizza quality suffers because of all the things they try to do. I am not a fan of the thick crusts and honestly some of the varieties leave something to be desired. When I lived on the beach I would get their delivery and these pizzas were much better than the ones that sit in the window for hours and hours. I understand the need for drunk food but there are better options. If I was on Washington I would head right over to the Alibi instead. If I were on Lincoln - well I am usually not on Lincoln when its time for a slice. I understand all the love but to me this is all style (variety) and very little substance (taste).

  • Monika K.

    yummmy pizza w a plethora of choices to pick from. fresh and tasty... got the $10 special, small salad, slice of pizza and soda...the 3 mushroom slice ( which are huge slices), very flavorful and tasty. good stuff, always busy but very fast and good service. I've had a soggy not so tasty experience in FtL hence the 3 stars...and glancing over some of these reviews makes me wonder if my group of friends were just lucky this sat night...

    (3)
  • Dan B.

    There is alot to love about Pizza Rustica. First of all, this location is open very late which is a key advantage. But, you're not just getting any old late slice of pizza, you're getting a huge rectangle of pan pizza with all kinds of toppings on it. The variety is awesome. I hadn't been in a while but today I tried the roma basil pizza and some of the spinach with bleu cheese pizza. They were both fantastic. The basil pizza came with a whole wheat crust and the bleu cheese on the other pizza was such a great idea. At $4.95 for a big portion and quality ingredients, you can't go wrong. It's very affordable and very worth it. Think about it, a nasty combo from Wendy's will be almost $7 but here at Pizza Rustica, you can get quality ingredients and a good, healthy, and hearty meal for under $5?? That's awesome.

  • Sunny N.

    Love this place-I'm from Chicago and I love my deep dish pizza and ever since moving to Miami no pizza has brought me happiness until this place. Not deepdish pizza but it taste FN awesome. A big ol' slice for a couple of bucks-love it!

  • Mona L.

    We love Pizza Rustica, when we're down in south beach, we stop for a few slices to take home. We also like to sit outside the restaurant and people watch. another Pizza Rustica just opened in Downtown Hollywood, which is close to home. The restaurant itself is bigger and has more seating. We love coming here for a quick bite to eat, the pizza is delicious and there is quite a selection. We love the barbecue chicken and new york steak, but alwayss try something new.

  • Steph W.

    Great place for a cheap meal and great people watching! Where else on lincoln road can you sit and relax, while eating for under $10. One slice of pizza is more than enough for one person and the wide selection of different pies is great and will suit anyone. Best place to go for a quick bit while need a break after shopping along lincoln road

    so, i came here last night after dancing and as soon as i walked in i noticed the "people on yelp love us" sticker which is always awesome to see. i had a chicken parmesan panini but, it was lacking. the chicken was so thin that it felt as if it had none at all. oh well, i picked the wrong dish to eat, next time i will just get a pizza.

  • Alexis Y.

    I love that every Miamian has a great story about what went down at Pizza Rustica. Like the big fight right outside the store, then the one in the store when someone accidentally knocked a slice of pizza out of a customer's hand. The first time I ever tried Hawaiian pizza was here. I tried it at other pizza joints and it just doesn't do it for me. I also like the "pizza rustica" at Pizza Rustica. :)

    The size is just right and it's affordable. The music doesn't bother me that much, but it does make ordering harder. The line can be very long. I think they charge you just for a cup of water.. unless they like you. lol and I always make sure I bring my red bull with me. :P

  • Liana S.

    I've never really understood the facination that people (and the Miami New Times) has with Rustica. The pizza comes in quantity, not quality. Flavor don't exist here and the only reason to eat the pizza is if you're starving and only have $6 left to you're name. Harsh but true.

    My favorite pan style type pizza in town. It is very cheap, you will pay about $6 per slice and which should easily feed a hungry person. The service is always slow outside but if you go inside you get much more timely service.

  • Tanna C.

    Yummyness!! I love the whole wheat crust. They are always busy but they move fast. By far one of the best pizza places I've been to anywhere. The Lincoln Road location is great because you also get the great people watching!

  • calvin l.

    I didn't know much about this place, and it was our second choice. I must say that this place is not that good. I read the other yelpers reviews and I have to disagree with them. The service was horrible. They kept asking who's next and when I said it was me they would look away and serve someone else. Now I don't know if I have a twin in Miami and he did something to make this place mad but it was making me mad. The staff there like to roll their eyes at me alot. Once I got the pizza it was served warm, but the day after put it in the microwave kind of warm. The flavor was just like California pizza kitchen but just on a lower quality scale. I would recommend this place to all people who like the day old pizza soggyness, being treated poorly and have to pay for it.

    (2)
  • Alex G.

    Always a good option, especially for a quick bit on your way to the beach, I have to admit that the quality is quite good, the service is o.k., I would like to see the places a little bit cleaner (the one in Washington and 6av). But definitely a place that has established a good name on South Beach -

    (3)
  • Peter M.

    This is not an overall review of Pizza Rustica, I just had to agree with Janelle F. that the pizza with fresh spinach and blue cheese is awesome. I think it is so good that I have never ordered anything else but that in the ten times I have eaten there.

    (4)
  • Alph G.

    Pizza Rustica is just okay for me. Everyone raves about this place, but I think it's just alright. I sort of prefer NY style pizza I guess. It does have a lot of inventive toppings. And it's not expensive. But I don't like the crust very much, and generally think there are much better (cheap) deals in South Beach.

    (3)
  • Angie O.

    Best pizza - better than Chicago, SF, NYC and probably Italy. The atmosphere inside was very SoBe in a good way. A little kitchy, but again, in a good way. Shrimp Pesto deep dish = $5 (tasty jumbo shrimp, not tasteless shrimp cocktail) Getting to eat it every night for 2 weeks? = priceless The service? Fantastic. One gal in particular - part of the family that ran the chain was always there so sincere and enthusiastic and not plastic or overly shiny/happy. Natural, normal, Cuban/SoBe culture poured out of her. She was talking of opening a store in San Francisco. We should only be so lucky to have them here.

    Everyone should come here for a bite of pizza. This Lincoln Rd location offers a small amount of seating so be prepared to pounce when you see seating open outside. You know a place is good when they can make a cheese pizza taste DIVINE. But they also got the fancy toppings like basil, fresh mozzarella, shrimp, etc. on pizzas that are behind their counter glass. Pizzas start around $3 a slice and are generous slices. Bonus: thin-style pizza, good ingredients, variety of toppings, late-night hours. Con: Cash only!

  • Filipe A.

    Whoever rates this less than 5 doesn't know pizza. It's not the BEST pizza i've ever had, but then again i'm from the East Coast but it's the best pizza i've had in South Florida HANDS DOWN. The only people that vote this down are hipsters that believe that a franchise can't put out good pizza, so they stick to the "mom and pop parlors" around here that put out mediocre crap. The crust is phenomenal you can eat it like bread, it's crunchy and yet soft in the middle. The sauce is very light flavored, the ingredients taste fresh. I tried the Pulled Pork BBQ and the Chicken and Corn. I wasn't a big fan of the pulled pork because to me it was too sweet, but the Chicken and Corn has gotten me going back for DAYS ! Incredibly great pizza at an outstanding price, the best one in South Florida without a doubt.

    The food here is actually good. I had a blue cheese pizza and a couple of garlic rolls, and was reasonable satisfied considering it was a meal on Lincoln Road. Rustica loses two stars for the subpar service. The Waitress barely spoke any words to us, never appeared at our table after delivering the pizza and didn't even speak when delivering the bill (which I had to send for her to even get). Then they add that bullshit 18% service charge which i had promptly removed - the manger was gracious and cool about that. Again, with it being Lincoln Road, I wasn't excepting much when it came to service. I would eat here an and get the same pizza. You know what you're getting at a place like this.

    One of the best pizza experiences I've had in a while, it's almost like a pizza market with the pizzaioli showing off their dough skills! We came in for Saturday night dinner and the place was packed. It's a small location with many chairs outside on Lincoln mall rd. We were seated immediately but there wasn't a server that came by for 15 mins. Once they were alerted, we had good service then on, but I would recommend take away order of its too packed. I was impressed with the specialty pizza menu, thin crust of course. We ordered spicy sausage pizza , shrimp pizza and the wings. The wings order came with crispy potato slices, the wings w/ bones were not breaded (thank you !!!), were juicy and not over sauced, simply perfect! The spicy sausage pizza was like a party in my mouth and I'm a sucker for spice so this one is highly recommended if you like some heat! The shrimp pizza had good flavor and the shrimp was juicy and fresh, I love my seafood and this did not disappoint. Had to knock off a star for the service mishap but I would definitely go back. Finger lickin good!

    Best pizza taste. Best thin crust pizza. Best pizza selection (they will even do half/half). Best spot for people watching. ... and finally the service is prompt and they will not rush you. Take your time, enjoy the food and the company.

    Got a recommendation to come here from a random bartender in Daytona Beach. The pizza did not disappoint I had the salad pizza and could not even finish the entire slice. The only thing I would comment on is that the crust was not as crispy as I would like.

    From the outside the place looks like a must try, full of many different styles and flavors of pizza. But you are up for a rude awakening as you set foot inside. The place is filthy and I honestly wonder when will it be shut down due to hygiene issues. A place that dirty shouldn't be open to the public. If you are making your way to the bathrooms, that long dark hallway is full of mold around the floor and the smell takes away your appetite. The staff is a hot mess, they're disrespectful and customer service does not exist among their duties.

    Really good place to grab a quick bite. They sell whole pizzas or pizza by the slice. Toppings are always generous and food comes out quick. Our server was very good and always bringing out extra napkins and water

    This place has a variety of yummy pizza at a descent price. The place has an outdoor and indoor option. Inside is kinda small and there isn't a lot of seating, but it's a good option of you want to get out of the sun. The service was good and we didn't have to wait too long. I don't recommend getting wine there because they basically give you a small cup, kinda disappointing. They offer you a pitcher of water for your table and they have other beverage options. I did enjoy their pizza and if I'm in the area I would probably go back again.

    This is the easiest and cheapest lunch you can have on Lincoln Rd. They also give you a card they stamp with every purchase and you get a free dish after 8 visits. There salads are huge and delicious. They have all sorts of toppings. The pizza is not the best in my opinion, but it's ok. They have some fun desserts too. The service is great.

    Something's happened over the past year. The pizza is not near as flavorful as it used to be. The crust no longer has that nice buttery flavor and the toppings are not up to the quality as they used to be. This used to be a superior pizza, sadly the only thing superior is the variety of pizzas. I miss my old Pizza Rustica!

    Walking down lincoln road, Pizza Rustica had a certain appeal about it. Not being in the mood for anything too outrageous, me and my friends decided to check it out. Since it looked like it was about to rain, we asked to sit inside. Bad move. While the inside had a funky decor, it was hot and we had wished we would have sat outside towards the end. The chairs were uncomfortable, it was hot, and people coming in to get their pizza to go was rather annoying, it seemed like they came in the bus loads. It was too interruptive. We ordered the breadsticks, which while they were good, it left more to be desired. I ordered the chicken parmesan square pizza and it was good but the chicken on it wasn't cooked all the way and the onions sort of ruined it. The service was horrendous. I'm not asking for 5 star service but at least fill our sodas when we ask. The waitress disappeared for the better half of our meal and we were on a time constraint. I would check them out again, but only if it was either to-go or a different location.

    For just average ratings here on Yelp this place is more than just average. We wanted a small bite to eat before dinner and stopped by here. Plus, shopping makes you hungry. :P You can opt to sit down at a table and do formal dining or go inside the shop and do it fast-food style. We opted for the latter. I tried a slice of The Latest From Roma and my bf had a slice of the Shrimp al Pesto. Both were really good! I liked mine more though. ;) Pizza was pretty good here! Give them a try!

    Very disappointing. Up until my experience with Pizza Rustica I believed that you cannot spoil a pizza. We ordered a delivery into our hotel after passing by their location on Lincoln road. The pizza by the slice that is served there looked fantastic. That's why we figured a delivery would be a nobrainer. We checked out online with a credit card, there was a $2 delivery fee on the bill. To my surprise, the shyster delivery driver wrote on the additional $5 delivery charge in the tip section of the receipt I were to sign. Interesting. I wasn't going to stiff you, bro. To our great disappointment the pizza itself was horrendous. Too salty, too chewy; the dough tasted like ass; there was too much of everything on it. Seriously, the amount of salt on this thing! It burned my mouth with every bite I attempted. After nibbling on it for a minute we had given up. How disappointing. I will not have pizza for a while.

    I looooove this pizza rustica. It's definitely fav location. I'm come here often when I want some good good pizza or whenever I'm catching a movie at the regal theater on Lincoln road. This place is always packed but I have never waited for a seat. The food takes some small time too come out but it's worth the small wait. The food is priced wonderfully and you definitely get your money's worth. The varieties of pizzas makes me so happy. I can get a large slice of multiple pizzas and really dig in. This place makes for a great first date, or something fun and casual.

    I generally only eat at Rustica when I'm drunk and unable or unwilling to contemplate the damage to my waistline and arteries that a "slice" of Rustica pizza will do. However, it IS excellent pizza and given that a $5 slice is more than enough for 2 people, it's also a good bargain. Today, I was introduced to one of the best features of Rustica yet...the Rustica salad! I had NO idea they made such delicious salads until I encountered a co-worker enjoying an enormous bowl of goodness. I headed right over to Lincoln Road and got to work checking off those little boxes on the "unlimited veggies" section of the order form! You pick a lettuce (arugula, mixed greens, romaine), a meat (includes egg!), a cheese, and then they give you a selection of basically every type of topping available on the pizza. The container is HUGE, packed full of delicious treats, and it comes with 2 breadsticks on the side. Total tummy satisfaction for about $8.

    This place sucks. Yes it's late at night but you don't need to be rude. Pizza is good but not worth the asshole service. To the staff: if you don't want to be working late at night, get a retail job. No need to be jerks

    Great pizza spot! You get huge square slices of pizza. You can definitely share one slice! It's pretty tight in there so don't plan on staying in there long. They do have 7-10 ledge seats. But it's so tight in there Taft you probably don't wanna stay long.

    Starving after leaving the beach we decided to walk by Lincoln road for some light shopping and food. Pizza rustica caught my eye, I love pizza. We went inside and the music was a bit loud, and the staff seemed super busy. They have a variety of pizza displayed but try not to get in any of the servers way as they will absolutely run you over, very small and narrow shop. I ordered the shrimp pesto and holy guacamole. "Daaaamn", that's what went through my mind as I took my first bite of my shrimp pesto pizza from pizza rustica. It was delicious, stop by and grab a slice. They are affordable as well.

    I don't know is fair to review pizza rustica on a extremely busy, crowded Halloween night; but im gonna try to be impartial and give my best. 3.5 stars. Well could u imagine right? Waiting list of 20-40 mins for a table, u dont even have a place to stand/wait but not their fault. I think they did pretty good job even though it was so busy. We waited like 20 mins with a beer on hand. Waiting list was organized and they called u like 3 or 4 times before u loose ur turn. As soon as we seated the server approached to us kind of fast but it was there, we ordered beer (were not that cold of course) came soon. We ordered half mega meat: smoked ham, bacon bits, sausages, peperonni and ground beed and half 4 cheeses; mozarella, asiago, swiss and creamy blue cheese. We really though couldnt order half and half pizza in that day, but they made it :) My Only concern was we waited like 45 mins for our pizza, i didnt mind the wait until i saw that other pizzas table who arrived later than us were served first. I can understand because of the day, but that thing pissed off anyone. Pizza was not that hot and almost burned in the inferior totally understandable but really tasty. Servers were attentive, they did a good job managing that busy and crazy day. Will give them another opportunity on a easy day.

    I had to put a star to complete the review, but this place is horrible. Our pizza was an hour late, and the manager gave us an attitude and refused to take care of the issue. We were left PAYING for a cold flavorless pizza, and and earful of attitude for this cold piece of cardboard. Guillermo and Jose, who told me they were managers, made the experience worse. Did I mention everything is made who-knows-when and just reheated when you point? disgusting. I wasn't even sure our delivered pizza was fresh. WORST PIZZA EXPERIENCE EVER. These people do NOT care about their customers.

    I'm so confused by the positive reviews on here. This was, hands down, the worst pizza I've ever had. The slices are pre-made and taste like bad frozen pizza. I had the spicy sausage and my roommate had the four cheese. Hers just tasted like too much cheese, no depth of flavor at all. The sausage on mine tasted cheap and it wasn't the least bit spicy. Salads were tiny and forgettable. Only good thing about this place was it was cheap and our waitress was nice and good with refills. We were mad we wasted a meal here, but luckily found Piola on our last night, which I highly recommend over this gross tourist trap.

    This place is great. Here are a few items to consider. The pizza (almost the only item on the menu), which comes in hundreds of variations, tastes great. It is always packed, so the food will take a while, but it is definitely worth the wait. We received AWESOME service We were seven people and we ate for $83.

  • Biff G.

    Pizza was ok. Already made & then reheated in an oven when ordered. I stood inside where you order by the slice but there were four of us so I ordered what ended up being about a whole pizza. We took it outside and ate at the tables. There were wait staff hustling about but none looked in my direction to see if I needed anything else or more drinks. I finally caught someone's attention to ask for a to go box for my leftovers. Even though she was on her way back into the restaurant and would be coming back she told me I needed to go inside and ask for a box.

    I've been to Pizza Rusica on a few occasions when I've visited South Beach. On the most recent visit, I noticed that 75% of their pizzas all had kalamata olives on it. Now I love kalamata olives, however, these were super briny, so much so that they had an almost seafood taste to it. My friend also complained about how many pizzas had them on them. She isn't a fan of olives and is also a vegetarian, so it was disheartening for her to have to pick off the olives because there were no other options for veggie pizzas. Would I return? Absolutely. The flavors and the crust are great. I just hope whoever the olive fairy was that dusted all the pizzas with the low quality kalamata olives tones it down a bit next time I'm in town.

    Best Pizza place in Miami hand down. Soo much to love: 1. Huge selection of pizzas. My favorite is the Hawaiian 2. Open really late, perfect for "after the club" 3. A very large piece of pizza for a fantastic value at around 6 bucks for a slice and a soda. 4. more than one location in SoBe so you are never that far from one There are ton of pizza places in Miami, this is the one not to be missed!

    In the mood for a slice of pizza, I decided to try this place on lincoln road. After ordering a slice of BBQ chicken pizza for $6.40 a slice, I panned my head around and realized I had just walked into a rat hole. This is what I saw empty bottles and cans of beer and soda littered on the indoor tables. Used dirty napkins on the tables and floors. Splattering of unknown liquids and pieces of pizza crust on the tables and floors. That should have been my sign to just walk out and leave, but I said eh let me just get the slice and get the hell out of here. Once again ignoring my intuition and the obvious. I now have to suffer the consequences of my actions. I thought I ordered a slice of BBQ chicken pizza, , not a tomato based bland tasting cardboard textured pizza slice with a gross after taste. I have no idea where the BBQ sauce was, maybe it was tanning in Bora Bora sipping a Mai-tai or taking a tour of Venice on a gondola with a sexy passionate Italian woman. Because it sure hell wasn't on my pizza slice.

    We were referred to this place by our concierge and were looking forward to great crisp rustic pizza. I am not sure if we were there on a bad night but the service and pizza was really bad. They made my pizza wrong which needed to be returned while I watched everyone else eat. When I did get it, it was soggy and soft crust (just out of the oven) and the meatballs were so big I had to break them up myself and re-spread them around the pizza which was not fun. I wasn't impressed with the taste or crust at all and left half the pizza and didnt even take it with me. The entire family complained about their dishes. I am not one to bag a place but hopefully they take this and improve it. Wow

    I researched this place before our trip and it looked good, I wasn't going to go since they have a Pizza Rustica in Royal Oak Michigan but during our stroll through Lincoln Park mall we wanted to try it for a small lunch! I look forward to trying more of the menu in the future, but enjoyed the wide selection. We had the "Rustica" pizza and I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it. I liked the vibe and uniqueness of this place and find it better then California Pizza Kitchen.

    Nice place for pizza on Lincoln Road for sure. Plenty of toppings to choose from, a variety of pizza options, and many other menu items outside of pizza are available. Serving staff was nice and fairly prompt. No complaints about the place and everything was good quality, but not quite a "wow" factor that gives it that fifth star. Worth visiting again!

    Came here for a quick lunch. I had the mushroom pizza which had different kinds of mushrooms and lots of fresh garlic. I forgot what my husband ordered, but I remember it had prosciutto and arugula. I like that it's all prepared and they'll heat it up in their oven when you order. So it's super quick if you're in a hurry. The taste was good, but I remember it tasting a while lot better after a night out drinking. They have all kinds of topping combinations to choose from, which is a nice break from the regular pepperoni we always order at the chains. I've had better pizza, but this place is really a must-try if you're going to be in the Miami Beach area, especially after the club. Great location, too, on Lincoln Rd.

    After a night of drinks, stumbling into Steve Madden and blowing cash on a pair of heels just because the girl at the store told me they looked good on me, the hubs went into damage control mode and decided that we get some food in my belly. Hey, food? Count me in! Pizza - aside from Taco Bell (yeah, Taco Bell bitches!) - is a great follow up after a night of drinking. So Pizza Rustica was chosen. After about a 10 minute wait (and a "kill some time" trip to Forever21 in which the ball n chain watched me like a hawk), we were seated and promptly taken care of. The menu is crazy long - cheese pizzas, specialty pizzas, meat pizzas, vegetable pizzas, salad pizzas, blah, blah, blah - and for someone who did not have much focusing abilities that night, I ran away to the bathroom. Lucky for me, as I walked to the bathroom, I passed by the pizzas on display at the counter and said - oooohhh, Mega Meat and Campagnola pizzas, thank you display case! And so that's what we had - a medium pizza, half and half. And it was pretty good. It was not the best pizza I've ever had, but it got the job done. Very meaty (they did not skimp on anything) and tasty, I gobbled that shiz down. And for being busy, tourist trap Lincoln Road, the service and the bill were decent. Werd.

    The original Pizza Rustica on Washington Ave. was a solid 4 to 4.5 stars. The pizza was that good. Last 8 years or more the place has been ruined by the new owners. Mediocre everything. I still periodically buy a pizza from their Lincoln Road location, but the pizza and service keep going downhill. Last time, I attempted to order over the phone, but the girl couldn't speak any English and the call got disconnected. They didn't bother to call me back, so I didn't either, instead I went somewhere else and discovered a new favorite place where English is spoken and the pizza is excellent.

    DO NOT ORDER HERE! After waiting 45 minutes for one pizza and some breadsticks, once opening our pizza we figured out that we were given the wrong pizza. Called back to tell them and precede to wait another 30 minutes for the correct pizza. We finally get it and they STILL forgot the breadsticks! So $30 and 1.5 later we got some mediocre pizza. I DO NOT recommend getting pizza delivered from here. Awful, awful experience.

    We fell in love with their square sliced pizza. I think we come here every time we come to Sobe. It is one of the best pizza spots in Miami... so much that we sometimes order from our hotel room and have it delivered. Food is great. It is about 5 bucks a square slice that is then sliced to six smaller squares. I love this place whether it be when we experienced a flash flood to sitting outside. This part of lincoln rd is part of Lincoln Road mall. There is also a Pizza Rustica on Washington Blvd but that area is sketchy. I like this one better.

    You gotta know what you're paying for here: a very filling cheap pizza with a great sidewalk cafe in the middle of Lincoln Rd. Yes, the inside is cramped. And yes, the service is lacking. But it's $5 for a supreme pizza you can share!!!! There are so many overpriced tourist traps around, at least you get what you pay for here.

    I hate this style of pizza even when I'm drunk - but I'm a New Yorker so I realize my standards are not so fair. Some people love this place, and I just don't get it. The pizza is old and not made fresh for you - piles of slices sit there for hours with an overwhelming amount of toppings and gross sauce - then gets re-heated. Gross. Even the plane cheese slices are crap.

    Tourists are attracted to this place like flies are attracted to watermelon on a hot summer day or mosquitoes are attracted to me WHEREVER I go (seriously, I get bit up as soon as these vampire bugs awaken from their winter slumber). The lines are never-ending at Pizza Rustica but because it's such a staple of the South Beach experience, almost everyone is compelled to wait (patiently or not is another issue) for a chance to try the iconic pizza. Miami being a second home now (I think that I have been there more than 20 times in the past 3-4 years), I have been to South Beach many times and I always try to escape the tourist traps, mostly because food is over-priced and the throngs of people frighten and irritate me. A couple of years ago, I tried PIzza Rustica and liked it well enough. But since then I hadn't gone back because of said tourist crowds. But this last trip (last weekend), during a late-night stroll through Lincoln Road with bf and his family, we made a stop at Pizza Rustica. At 11 pm, the line was still impressive. Bf and his cousin went to pick up the pizza. My intent was to not have any, especially since I had picked up some candy from Dylan's. When the guys came back and everyone started eating, my will was like iron and I just watched a group of break dancers do their thing. Bf ended up trying a square and when I glanced at it, I was immediately curious. The two things that stood out to me were the chicken chunks and corn scattered about on the surface. Hmmm... Interesting. The straw that broke the camel's back was the bite that I took from his little 2"x2" square. Crap, I knew I wouldn't be able to resist but I turned my back and did some people-watching to see if I could hold out. My efforts were for naught because when everyone was full and there was the last round of "does anyone want any?", my willpower came crashing down and I offered to not waste what was left. I took a bite of the pizza square and it was barely warm anymore but I could tell that everything was fresh and the pizza dough was perfectly baked and crispy. I don't even know if the pizza was a custom-one or if the chicken/corn combo is one they sell, but either way, it was scrumptious. The next time I am in South Beach, I may have to brave the crowds, because I have been depriving myself. From what I recall, Pizza Rustica is a good place to grab something to eat without making pre-SSNRA withdrawals from your IRA or 401(k). You have to try this tourist magnet, because it is actually worth it. Oh and you may save yourself some frustration if you take your pizza to go and find some place in the common area on Lincoln Road to eat it or just walk with it, instead of trying to obtain seating there.

    Went at 2am for a remarkably delicious gluten free pizza. The staff was friendly and helpful and the pizza was custom and good enough to please even the on gluten free among us. The gluten free pizza comes in one 10" size, which is plenty to satisfy two for a late night snack.

    Great Pizza, at a great price, you can get your meal and a beer or a glass of wine for 10 bucks in the middle of Lincoln road in South Beach. I normally bring friends and family to this place because it is really good and has great prices. My daughter loves it, it has a chocolate pizza that is amazing, it also has a skinny pizza with 260 calories. My favorite is the hawaiian pizza. I love it.

    We were going to walk past it was so hot outside pizza didn't sound good. But then we saw these people on the sidewalk (cafe) with a fantastic looking pizza and we changed our mind. Had a great meal under the tent with a fan blowing right on our legs. Great pizza. Great caprese salad. The lady inside didn't want me taking pictures which was a little weird.

    Really good pizza that I never had to wait so long for. Avoid Lincoln road in season on the weekends! It's really not pleasant with all these people!

    Great pizza.....service not the best but not the worst in Miami. Have been here twice and love the huge slices they give you that are full.of toppings and cheese.

    Probably the cheapest place to grab a snack on Lincoln Rd. I can only comment on take-out, since we didn't dine- in. While strolling, the yummy aroma of pizza was calling our name. Although it's a chain, I have never tried their pizza. We made the 20 minute unorganized line. It was hot, stuffy with everyone piled on top of each other. The poor servers have to make their way through this same crowd. The girls behind the counter appeared stressed and frazzled. We ordered a slice of Meatball Rustica, just to try it. We walked out and sat on the stoop in front. The slice is huge and cut into six small squares. More than enough for both of us. The crust was crispy, the sauce slightly tangy, the meatballs were good but there was very little cheese. I love cheese! Not the best pizza ever, but at $4.95, we can't complain.

    I used to visit this place almost weekly in my SOBE-party days of 2006 and 2007. I was back in the neighborhood this week and I got hit by the nostalgia of Pizza Rustica at 4:30am on Saturday night. My friends and I were wondering around aimlessly looking for late-night food when my inner lightbulb went up and directed them to this little hole-in-the-wall. I'm happy to say that this place has not changed a single thing in 7 years. 7 years! The selection is still crazy weird, super tasty and over-sized. They are quick to serve you and get your order in, so the only wait time is spent in the oven while your pizza gets crispy and hot. My rule of thought it so always go for the un-traditional flavors (no cheese, pepperoni or standard sausage) to really get the benefit of being here VS any other per-slice pizza joint. The type I ordered was an eggplant and goat cheese pizza with sundried tomatoes. It wasn't very oily, it was creamy and they did not skip out on the ingredients. For the size of the slice and the environment (fancy schmancy Lincoln Rd), I thought the $5/slice price was expected and I am grateful that they take credit/debit cards as the last thing I should be doing at 4:30am is visiting an ATM. I'm sad that I wasn't a Yelper back then, but I am happy to finally review this place.. even if its 7 years later.

    Pizza Rustica first opened on Washington Avenue and has now grown to a couple of locations nationwide. Not my style but I have to put it on the list just because they have such a large cult following. You'll find square pieces done in an almost Chicago like style. Pizza Rustica is open nearly 24 hours and seems to be enjoyed by locals and tourists alike all day (and night) long. DH For more reviews by a Miami Beach local check out DannyHertzbergBlog.com

    Very rude and unfriendly like stated above. We asked a waiter to hold our table while we went to order and she said it wouldn't be a problem. When we came back a family was sitting there. When we asked the waiter she said "she doesn't have 5 hands" which made no sense at all. The manager also refused to help us and said they couldn't ask the family sitting there to leave because they already had food and we didn't. Really poor service and I would definitely avoid if u plan on sitting inside the store on a hot day.

    The first thing I noticed when I came here: service sucks. Ordering was a hassle. As for the pizza, it would be tasty... if the bottom wasn't almost burned. I liked the taste of their 4 cheese pizza, the cheeses were all melted and complemented each other very well. But the bottom was almost burned, sigh.. Slice is large enough to share. Wasn't sure of its size when I ordered, I would have split. I would be willing to give it another try, but with so many great restaurants in the Lincoln Road and in Miami, I probably won't.

    Maybe it was the drinking or maybe its just that this place is downright good for such a cheap price and fills you up after a night on the town. I have gone to their near FIU location and loved it and the quality, portion and taste is just the same as this location. They even have different kinds of options at this place so yay! Only annoyance was how loud it is. My boyfriend was sitting next me and I couldn't hear him. This happened at the other location so it was sort of expected but I wanted to be pleasantly surprised. Only thing this place lacks is good customer service. I can understand why they want to get you in and out but a smile would be nice. I'm sure dealing with drunk people makes for good stories but still...smile a little! :)

    This place used to be real good, but i went there yesterday with family after I was raving to them how great the pizza is, and it ended up being very average. I felt like an idiot because everyone was wondering why I raved about the place. To top it off, food took a solid 30 mins or more to arrive. Pizza that is not freshly made should not take that long. I'm from Chicago so use to a much faster pace, that was way too slow. Prices are fair, however.

    I think that everyone kind of has their own idea of what the perfect pizza should be - thin crust, thick crust, Chicago style, New York style, what have you - this is mine! Pizza Rustica has a crazy amount of topping combinations ready to go by the slice, their crust is just right - not too thick, not too thin and really good flavor, and they are open late so you can get pizza after a night out. AND they put potato on pizza. I love potato pizza. Yes, their slices are square...which is a little odd, but I don't discriminate by shape. Every single slice I have had from there is amazing! Favorites include: Pizza con Potate Rustica Caprese Pizza Chicken Parmesan Eggplat & Goat cheese

    I know this is supposed to be the same pizza rustica on 9th and in downtown miami... it's not! I am in miami every month. sometimes twice a month... and I almost always stop by for a slice. And I'm so pleased. I walked over here for a slice of plain pepperoni since this particular time I stayed a block away lincoln road (I usually stay in downtown near biscayne). They had only pizza squares. And a bunch of fancy other pizzas. I tried the chicken caesar salad slice out of sheer curiosity. It was ok. I liked it. I also tried their sweet canons (A+!!! pizza dough and nutella. awesome) which is what brought me from 1 star to 2... And since they had no regular pepperoni i ordered a whole pizza. What a waste. I can normally tear up like half a 14 inch pie. Which is what I orderd but they screwed up and gave me an 18 inch by mistake. I literally ate one slice and threw the rest away. What I saw them doin is pre baking pizza crusts. I never seen the other locations do that. It clearly changed the taste of the pizza. It tasted nothing like the other pizzas I've had from the pizza rustica chain. I should have just thrown a $20 bill out the window... I was pretty upset. I was craving delicious pizza and when you don't satiate a craving all you're left with is a void. a sad sad little void. Oh well. I'll probably steer clear of this location. Unless the others don't sell sweet canons. Meaning I'll just come back for sweet canons.

    Pretty cute casual place on Lincoln. All the pizzas looked reallyy good In the display case. The frozen margarita was pretty weak. :( Ordered a specialty pizza- bacon bits, ham, chicken, mozzarella, and corn. Really Delicious pizza with excellent crust. Only real complaint that the chicken bites were too big an somewhat dry. Service wasn't that great here though- took foreverrr to get served and get the check. Good price value though- had enough to last two meals! Warning- bathroom is realllyyy gross.

    Ok but why would you put mayonnaise and hardboiled eggs on a pizza? You might as well have a squirt bottle of mayo next to the parmesan and oregano. But you don't, do you? No, because that sounds disgusting. But you took away the option. You inflicted the mayo pizza onto the public under the name "roasted chicken pizza." It's wrong. But to your credit, you have a wide variety and spectacularly, you're open at 2 am.

    While I was visiting my sister in Florida, I wanted to go down to South Beach so we did just that. While down in Miami, we decided to eat at this place for lunch. There's seating outside and inside, with service provided to you if you decided to sit inside. We opted to sit inside because it was so humid outside. There were a lot of different pizzas to choose from. I got the jumbo slice and drink combo. Jumbo slice is no joke at this place. Originally, I thought that it was just a large pizza slice like at other places I've been to. A jumbo slice here means six small square slices. If we had realized how big it was going to be, we would've shared and still would've been satisfied. I ordered one with sausage, onion, and peppers; my sister ordered the one with ham and pineapple, and there were tomato dices on it as well. We share both of ours and thought they were okay, but it is pizza and can be a place to go to if that's what you're feeling like eating if you're in the area.

    Pizza Rustica is a great restaurant. No frills but all the thrills. The pizza is good and the prices are fair. I would definitely recommend this place if you are not wanting to dish out for an expensive meal on Lincoln Rd. Good service and good pizza.

    As a Chicago-area native who is partial to Chicago-style deep dish pizza, I was a bit skeptical upon seeing the exclusively thin-crust offerings at Pizza Rustica. However, I was impressed. Huge portion sizes on both their pizzas and salads, and they run good specials on buckets of beer. The whole wheat pizza crust is actually pretty good. In contrast to other restaurants on Lincoln Road, the place isn't the fanciest and isn't overdone with pricey decor and the like, and food is served on paper plates, which doesn't bother me one bit as it helps keep costs down. Been here three times and I plan on visiting again.

  • Trina J.

    The Rustic rocks! It has ham, olives, artichokes, peppers and a few other ingredients. It's really good and cut in small pieces you can grab. The only drawback is the pizza is cold and the appearence before it was warned was less than ideal.

  • Kevin D.

    OK, this is not amazing pizza... but it's very good and possibly the least expensive good food on Lincoln Road. Last night we spent $75 on dinner for 2 at Sushi Siam... tonight we spent $30 and still ended up with leftovers. Pizza Rustica is a great option for a reasonable, affordable meal on Lincoln Road. Recommended.

    I'm sorry, but the food in this place stunk. I ate outside, but went inside to use restroom and was taken aback by the absolute filth throughout where they were cooking. My pizza tasted pretty much like cardboard. My stomach was killing me afterward. Heck, there wasn't even salt and pepper for my salad on the table. I don't recommend this place. You can do a lot better.

    Rustica is a cute little pizzeria with unique pizzas. BBQ shrimp pizza and pesto were both on my list both were yummy their salads are hefty!! my boyfriend and I ordered way too much food Pizza rustica holds a special place in my heart this is were I had my first LEGAL DRINK!

    Fresh Pizza at great price. Loads of toppings to choose from, veggie, meats even greens, seafood, you name it. My husband gets just cheese pepperoni Slices are square and a slice is huge In 4'sections. I have only eaten at the one on Lincoln Rd. It's noisy eating inside with music blaring so we eat at the outside tables.

  • Andrej M.

    One of the best pizza places on the beach. Kinda pricey for the small slice that you get. This is a great place to get pizza with toppings that you can't find at any other pizza place. I enjoy their whole wheat pizza a whole lot. It has an awesome location to be able to people watch. It is a very casual type of pizza joint. Good for a third date, but not for your first.

    Delicious pizza with the best toppings and a buttery crust. I got a the deal with a side salad and soda and a HUGE slice of pizza for only $9.99 which was great!

  • Marcy E.

    What a nice surprise!! We stopped in for lunch. I got the 9.95 special which wad a salad drink and "slice". The homemade balsamic was fantastic. Salad was mixed greens and fresh. The "slice" came out and was the size if a small pizza. Beautiful fresh mushrooms , chunks of garlic cloves and fresh mozzarella. My friend got a custom made salad for 6.95 and it came with two "breadsticks" that looked like long slices of pizza. In summary, with all of the choices in this mall I'm gals we happened upon this place!!

    We wanted a good pizza and this place had the best reviews. Pros: service was good, we were seated right away, the menu has a vast selection to choose from. Cons: paper cups, paper plates, plastic utensils! We wanted to have wine w/ our pizza but didn't like the thought of drinking out of plastic cups! All in all the experience was good.

    I can't believe its taken me this long to review this place! I love coming here at the end of a South Beach night crawl. They have heaps of different types of pizzas. The only gripe is portions. They're huge and i'm never able to finish. But i'm always with someone who can manage my share. The veggie pizza is brilliant! Yum! Now I wish I would have finished my slice last week!

    Eek! Methinks not. We ordered 3 slices. All sounded great on the menu. All were terrible. We did eat the topping off of one of them, paid, and left.

    A miami classic. I come to Miami Beach about three times a year and I never fail to eat here at least 3-4 times during my stay. This business has been here for years and it really is part of what gives south beach its edge. I love their selection, their prices, and the convenience of the locations. I remember the first time i came to Pizza Rustica was in like 2003 and I walked in with only like $3 dollars. I told the lady I wanted a slice of Pizza so bad because I had drank to much at the bar next door. She gave me a slice and told me to give the three dollars to a homeless man around the area. I think this place will always speak for itself. a must if in the area.

  • Michael L.

    Food and service were prettty bad. Granted it was during a busy night on Sunday but they were understaffed and the pizza was pretty gross. The sauce isn't that good, the crust wasn't cooked well enough and the cheese was undercooked and hard after a minute. The people seated next to us were obnoxious but they happened to get a pizza that had a receipt stuck underneath the cheese and one of them almost swallowed it. Its about an hour after we ate it and my wife and I feel like we want to vomit right now. If it wasn't for the fact we have to give it at least one star we would give it zero.

  • Michelle L.

    Salad at Pizza Rustica!!!!! Wasn't aware of their wonderful salad creations until my good friend introduced me to them. Their many pizza selections always distracted me. Let me tell you. You go to the side of the restaurant and pick up a little white paper to check off what you want on your salad. You have the option of adding everything on the list for the one price! The list includes: eggplant, carrots, sun dried tomatoes, chicken, ham, goat cheese, asiago cheese, to name a few. Two sliced garlic bread strips also included. yum! A salad and a coke is about $9. Definitely worth a try and big enough to share.

  • Natasha S.

    The pizza is fantastic and it is open very late. What more do you need. They have a variety of pizza way beyond your standard pepperoni. My favorite is the caprese pizza followed by the chicken BBQ. They also always come up with interesting combinations. They have good prices and tables outside for people watching. At night it can be a bit of a madhouse to find a table. It is better to just order at the counter and look for a table than to try to get a server.

    after heavy drinking, we hopped in a cab to head back t our hotel. Someone complained about hunger, and the cabby mentioned we'd just walked next to the best pizza in Miami. Whoops! Please turn-around, mister and he obliged. Inside, we we tried about 4 different pizzas, my favorite being a spicy sausage gutt bomb. Great service and very good pizza. We walked out and low and behold, the cabby waited on us! Wonderful evening!

  • Cristina G.

    I love the potato pizza I've had a few other flavors, but can't remember any of them being bad, I liked them. The one I wouldn't order again is the BBQ chicken pizza. It wasn't bad, but I prefer my pizza without the BBQ sauce. I don't care for the wine being served warm in a small, urine sample style, disposable cup. I have encountered a few stuck up foreigners working there that I really don't care for, but like most places, they usually aren't there long enough for me to judge the place on these few. I like people watching, especially on Lincoln Road, so I find myself a nice spot and chill outside, all while enjoying some yummy food!

    Bad pizza, no flavor, the pizza flavor I order came wrong and the plastic fork and knife they give you cannot go through the rubbery pizza. Really regreted going there. Do not recomend!

  • Kevin L.

    Such a good location right between the hotel clusters and all the clubs. In all honesty, this pizza wouldn't be four stars in broad daylight, but add the magic of being a little tipsy and the late hour...and you have some pretty magical pizza. Your stomach is agrowlin' and you suddenly see a dozen varieties of cheese slabs, so you really can't complain. I had the BBQ chicken pizza, which was just like the other chicken pizza, except...better. Pretty big portions for the price! The pizza slabs are heated up and then diced up into six rectangles. They also blast Latin music as if it's a circuit party. Then again, it's South Beach, so why not?

    Miami's got its women (wow), bikinis (for sure), put both together and an awesome slice (what?), and you'll run into Pizza Rustica. Its on Lincoln Road, girls are a given. But it is the pizza that will leave you craving more. It's a thick, almost frenchbread pizza like, and has the freshest and most imaginative ingredients. Lots of bacons, eggs, fetas, arugalas, eggplants, corns, spinach, potatoes, etc... I hear their BBQ chicken is their most popular. They're done up in huge trays and cut into large rectangles. Trust me this isn't your sissy Tombstone pizza. Walk in and you'll be greeted with displays of slices, that will bring a smile to your face. They will toast them back to life for you once ordered. Otherwise, if you're feeling adventurous, choose your own toppings and order one fresh off the menu. A slice will run around $5-6, and since the Miami is one great happy hour anyway, they usually have bottled beer specials. Definitely recommend as a chill lunch spot with friends, or a casual dinner.

  • Kevin L.

    I ordered the roasted chicken and corn pizza and the bbq chicken sandwich. It took about an hour for them to deliver to my hotel. Sadly the food came pretty cold. The roasted chicken and corn pizza was actually pretty good despite it being cold. I feel it would have been better warm. I never had corn in my pizzas, so this was an interesting pizza and I'm glad I tried it. The bbq chicken was disappointing. Small chicken slices and everything didn't go together. Pizza is good. Sandwiches not so much.

    Went shopping with my girl on Lincoln Road for the first time in Miami. We weren't going to eat here but I'm glad we did! That pizza was pretty banging! It was flavorful; not bland at all! This place can get pretty crowded and the tables and chairs aren't the cleanest.

    For months and months, I walked by here daily, thinking "boy that looks good," but reminding myself that surely, surely, it wasn't. Finally, hungry and curious, I decided to give it a shot. That was a mistake. I had a "slice" (actually, a giant slab cut into six slices) of arugula pizza with red sauce. The crust was mediocre and the toppings were tasteless, except the cheese, which tasted kind of like feet.

  • Renato S.

    yip. Affordable dining to it's core on lincoln road. Wonderful location and amazing savings makes this a great stop for lunch and even dinner. My only small problem is that the pizza didn't blow me off my feet. It was tastey but I've definetly had better. They are very creative with their pizzas here with a variety of gigantic slices for 4.99 or so.

    There was a time when I liked going here. But pizza joints are all over the beach, and a lot of them are just better. These days, the thought of Pizza Rustica makes my stomach churn in protest. Pros and Cons: Open late. But this is Lincoln Road, so everything is. Big slices, served fast and cheap. But the stuff sitting on top of the pizza is basically the edible version of the La Brea Tar Pits, sitting under a heat lamp for hours before you bite into it. Moral of the story: Don't let this be your go-to Pizza place. There are a lot of other joints that serve great pizza...

    Pizza Rustica...many were the times I have walked through your doors to find myself ordering from the vast variety of your pizzas (and a beer to accompany it). I was thrilled to walk yet again through your doors this past Friday to be welcomed by the aroma of...PIZZA!!! The BBQ chicken and Hawaiian pizzas are AWESOME! The staff is fast and efficient. The beer is cheap and GOOD (I had Stella this time). My friend had one of their panini sandwiches but half of it was ruined by the coke she spilled on it and the table. Well, at least she got to enjoy HALF of it. This is DEF a stop for after hours munchies! I love you Pizza Rustica! I hope we meet again soon!

  • Agatha C.

    Honestly the only reason I knocked down ONE star is because I felt like the service was a little crazy, although the girl in the front apologized for the wait, I feel like the staff is a little disorganized. However, the pizza is just that god damn good! The prices are amazing really. You get a huge pizza for $4.95? That's amazing, also a gourmet style pizza. Seriously best prices on south beach. I went last night with my boyfriend and we had the meaty meat pizza, roasted chicken and corn (amazing), and the pesto shrimp (which was actually a lot better than I thought it would be) I would definitely recommend this pizza joint to anyone who is new in town. Only thing they need to work on is the bimbos behind the counter. Other then that it was amazing!

    Delicious, I can't write about it without wanting some. I hope they are closed.... Well, ok, they aren't. They have 100's of different types of pizzas and have 3 locations in South Beach. All open tilll the early morning.

    Tourists/everyone stay away, there any dozens of places with better service and value within walking distance of this Pizza Rustica. Here is my experience: Thought this was a good idea for a late lunch while wandering around South Beach. Had to wait to be seated, about 5 minutes. Then waited 20 minutes to have our waiter appear at our table. Ordered Blue Moons and a square each. Order came out with an extra square and the beers were not cold. The pizza was fine. Actually, the only reason I was able to give more than one star. Took another 20 minutes for the waiter to walk by again to see if we needed anything. Pretty much had to beg the waiter to stop by our table or bring us anything. The check included an 18% gratuity which felt like robbery. There was no reason a lunch here should have lasted more than an hour.

  • Asami S.

    The pizza is tasty, if you get one that you custom select yourself. I would avoid the pre-made squares that they have stagnantly sitting against the glass display. When you custom order it they are forced to bake it freshly. Forget eating here on a weekend night as well. It is unbearably crowded and it takes a long time to get your pizza, unless you go for one of those squares that have been sitting out. It is also a plus that they are open very late. Overall, I like the taste of the pizza because I always custom create mine to match my personal tastes. Avoid if you prefer a doughy crust; this one is crisp and crunchy and like it's name suggests, "rustic".

  • Lisa C.

    Tasty Pizza CRAP Atmosphere. They really need to up their game. I'd prefer Spris on Lincoln to this place any day of the week and twice on Tuesday. Here's what's wrong: 1. FLIES!! if you like feeling like you're in a camp in Africa shooing flies away constantly, then you'll have plenty of shooing at Pizza Rustica Lincoln Road.. 2. The iced tea is absolutely disgusting. Tasted like sewer water. Gross. 3. THE BLARING techno music. Annoying and you can't even talk to the people you are dining with it's so lound and it's not even good techno music. The only way I'd come back here is if the pizza was being handed out for free and even then I'd grab a slice to go. Go up a block and enjoy Spris. Way more class and value for the money and a waaaaay better experience over all.

    Possibly the least sophisticated place on Lincoln Road, and that's a good thing. Arguably the best value pizza of anywhere in Miami, never mind in the middle of the Lincoln Road mall where everywhere else charges you the "Tourist/SoBe Premium Tax," as I like to call it. It may not be the *best* pizza around, but it's very good, and very cheap. My personal favorites are the NY steak and the BBQ shrimp. Grab a slice and a beer, and get your people-watching on.

  • Chris V.

    Got a slice of the Meat Lovers at about 3pm not busiest time for these guys, so the pizza could have been sitting for awhile, but did not affect the flavor one bit. The crust was crispy, cheese gooey, good quality meats used, and a perfect light red sauce. They take 1 large square and cut it into 4 small slices for you. Enough to fill 1 man or 2-4 of these tiny modelesque women that strut around here.

  • Eschel H.

    I find each of these locations to be pretty consistent. They all offer decent pizza for a good price. And I love the fact that you've got a wide variety available by the slice. And the health conscious can have a salad.

  • Shawn P.

    If you have just been partying late night on Lincoln Road there is no better place to go and dry up that excess liquor and settle your stomach. The pizza is better than most with a large variety of choices from traditional to pizza that look like a whole salad on a slice. Here's a secret, order it for delivery to your hotel room or house - the pizza is way better if you are sober because it is fresh made in another location.

    Pizza Rustica perfectly blends big city taste with small town charm. The food is absolutely delicious and with such reasonable prices, you cannot go wrong. I am a local here in Miami and whenever I am in the area I find myself stopping by for a bite. Beautiful atmosphere, splendid portions, and great prices! Pizza Rustica is a piece of Miami you do not want to miss!

    Pizza Rustica is baked by god and the toppings are laid on the pizza by angels. I cry every time I have the feta cheese and spinach pizza. I CRY.

    This place is great for a quick lunch that's easy on the wallet in Miami Beach. Pizza Rustic has a large selection of pizzas ready to go and they're huge! You can't beat the price for the size of the slice. They have a variety of pizzas for everyone. From meat lovers to vegetarian and then the great blends like spinach and mushroom with a thick soft crust to boot. They staff was always friendly to me and they have an ATM in the back as well.

    After watching college football and drinking all day, I was dying for something to eat. Luckily, Pizza Rustica was on my walk home from the bar. I opted for a slice of the Spicy Sausage pizza and I was not disappointed. There were huge chunks of spicy italian sausage, and a bunch of veggies too. The huge "piece" is really like a big corner of a full pie, which upon heating it up, they cut into 6 small pieces. All for the bargain basement price of $4.75! You can't beat that on the Beach!! They have a ton of different types of pizza to choose from - so take a glance around before you jump at the first one you see. There are a few tables outside and in, if you're not inclined to take yours to go. With the al fresco dining, the Lincoln Road people-watching can't be beat.

    So it was Saturday night and my boyfriend and I were rushing to the MB Convention Center to go to a fashion show. However, we were both hungry and on a budget. He wanted pizza, I wanted a sandwich. Therefore, I thought Pizza Rustica! Obviously, this is one of Lincoln Road's favorite spot. We stood in line for some minutes and I found an empty table inside. It was not 2 minutes that I sat down that a waitress immediately took my order which made my boyfriend get out of the line that he was standing in and take a seat. Our drinks came in less than five minutes but we had to wait 15 minutes for our meal which we understood due to the multitude of people. He ordered the plain cheese pizza with Sprite and I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana Panini with Lemonade. Delicious and hot on both. We were filled to our satisfaction. We later went on to enjoy the evening's event!

    Its fast food fellows !! Just go up to the counter and order whatever fits your fancy. Good selection of any kind of pizza you may think of. They have since expanded their tables so it is far more comfortable and accesible now. We like it, we go everytime we have a chance and never leave dissapointed. Its a good place to spend a few bucks and people watch in Lincoln Road.

    I can't decide whether it's a 3-star or 4-star place. When we went here a couple of years ago, it was very very good. We came back now with that same memory but it didn't live up to our own hype.. I do definitely recommend making your own and fresh... it just tastes much better. I do like their crust a lot so that's a good start... the toppings are in your own hands so don't get too creative with it - keep simple and you can't go wrong..

  • Paul W.

    There are 5 or 6 Pizza Rustica restaurants in the Miami/Hollywood/Lauderdale area. This one on Lincoln Road has always been good each time I've been there... Several different types of pizza from basic cheese to more creative pizzas such as Ceasar Salad, New York Steak, BBQ Chicken and Chocolate Pizza. Service is usually quick (especially when the lady who always yells "NEXT IN LINE!!" is working), and they have a handful of different cold beers available. In a hurry to grab some food and run? Hungry after a night of doing it up on SOBE? In the mood for a decent (but large) slice of pizza? This is the place!

  • Katie W.

    I just don't get this place. I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like it. I've been here on 2 occasions and it's just not a big deal. The pizza sits out and gets cold & even when they reheat it, it still taste like pizza left overs. They have so many fancy complex pizzas, that they forget about the simple ones. All I want is a nice hot pizza with extra cheese or mixed cheese, but I guess that's just too much (or to little) to ask for. I have a feeling this place is over hyped and people are just tasting what they're expecting and not what's really there. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's just me, but I think this pizza is not worth the price. My boyfriend and I found a better place near Alton that makes an amazing pizza with crispy bacon! Can't remember the name, but that's our new pizza place from now on.

    Oh Pizza Rustica How you have saved me on so many drunken nights. During sleepless nights last year, During WMC This year and many other Washington ave Saturday nights. I LOVE ricotta cheese so any of their slices that's covered in it will win me over. Don't worry the Cheese and Pepperoni slices look just as tempting as well. Now ordering here is a pain in the bum but once that huge hot slice is handed over to you all is forgiven. Now if only I could talk them into playing better music because If i hear Pitbulls Calle Ocho one more Time in here I'm gonna freak !

    On December 27, in the afternoon, I ordered a salad with different ingredients I marked on their order form. When I asked the cashier if the kitchen could mix in the balsamic vinegar dressing, he refused my request! After I got through the first layer of salad, there no ingredients (eg. carrots, olives,) just lettuce. The charge was $7.65 for a carry out order. What a ripoff!

    The pizza rustica topped with spinach, artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes as well a kalamata olives and sprinkled with cheese is pure heaven! My hubs prefers the BBQ chicken which also has corn, like a full BBQ spread in your mouth.

  • Ryan T.

    I went three times in 4 days, and tried at least two slices each time. It was so good I had to keep going back (and not pay $90 for a drink on Ocean). Whole wheat was really bready and didn't sit well with my drunken self. Chicken was dry, but everything else was really good, highly recommended.

    This place was so good. They have all kinds of crazy pizza slices but they are "bricks" and they cut it into 6 pieces. A cheap place to eat around where it is located

    I've been lucky enough to spend a good portion of my life in NYC. The pizza? Pretty good. I've been to Chicago a few times. The pizza? Pretty damn good. Spent some extended time in Italy. The pizza? Well, yeah. Been to Phoenix many times, home of the often-number-one-rated "Pizzeria Bianco". The pizza? mad good. So, I like pizza. It's kinda amazing that something so simple (dough and things on top of it, then add heat) can often be screwed up so royally. (papa johns). Pizza Rustica gets it. They get the basic fundamental of pizza...good bread with things that taste good on top of it. Yes, sometimes the pizza here can be like a lottery. If you happen to really want a slice of something that, for whatever reason, isn't selling well on that day, you may get pizza which was made hours ago. The crust will be a little soggy, the toppings a little dry. If you go at 3am, you may get bit by a pit bull. If you're lucky enough to choose something fresh out of the oven, you're going to leave Rustica telling all of your friends to go. The standard toppings are safe. (sausage, peppers, pepperoni, etc.) It's worth noting, though, that one of my favorite pizzas there is the one topped with chicken, romaine and caesar dressing. On first glance, you think, "really, heating up caesar dressing?". But, it's pretty damn good. Give it a try. When I moved to Florida, my house became a hotel of sorts. Everyone wanted to come and visit. And, why not? It's beautiful here. I'm pretty certain, without exaggeration, that I've shared Pizza Rustica with every guest. This location is smack in the heart of Lincoln Road. It's really one of the few places where you can get some satisfying food down there without paying a ridiculous amount of money. Pizza Rustica owns a spot on my Miami favorites list.

    I know the name "PIZZA Rustica" does not conjure thoughts of salad. In fact, I avoid places with yummy, fattening foods in their names if I'm looking for a salad because chances are, I won't get the salad. However... not wanting to look like a fatty while visiting with a co-worker who ordered a salad, I decided I'd take the nutritious route as well. I'm very very glad I did. The pizza here IS phenomenal, but the salads are equally, if not more, delish. You can choose everything that goes in your salad. You get a little check list and say "this yes, this no". Eggplant: this YES. Artichoke hearts: this YES. Spinach: this NO. Well.. you get the point. I got a salad piled high with everything I love and some chicken too! My favorite part? They give you these little slices of bread with cheese and tomatoes... reminiscent of this dish you may have heard of called the pizza. So I was able to get a delicious (and nutritious!) salad but still got a taste of the pizza I love so much. Num yummers! My only teensy issue with this place is that techno music blasting. I understand it at night when I am drunkedly stumbling for a slice of something greesy to top off my vodka, but for lunch? Really?? I tried to eat my salad in peace and read a book but my book was NOT about the life works of David Guetta, so it was a bit difficult to enjoy. Otherwise, it's the nummiest.

    Waited forever for a waitress. Waited forever for the pizza. Crappy beer selection. Hair on the pizza. No apology, although they did give me 10% off. I'm thinking about disputing the charges on my credit card. Oh, and 18% Tip included (no wonder the service was McDonalds quality). Will never ever ever return. Best to eat somewhere off Lincoln Rd.

    Hmmm soooo good, soooo big, sooo perfect. This location of Pizza Rustica provides great, large slices or pies in as many varieties as you can imagine. The service was quick & friendly for my recent mid-week lunch. The pizza comes out fresh & piping hot & it's perfect. I think their prices are pretty average for the area & the specials are pretty reasonable as well.

    Probably one of the better and more unique pizza places in Miami. I always order the 'Rustica', my favorite, especially because of the fresh artichokes. Also on this beast of a pizza is some prosciutto, plum tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, tangy sun dried tomatoes, fresh diced tomatoes, kalamata olives and fresh basil. Hard to beat. I've tried the three mushroom, NY steak, and sweet sausage pizzas, and none of them compare to the Rustica. Probably one of the better and more unique pizza places in Miami.

I've tried the three mushroom, NY steak, and sweet sausage pizzas, and none of them compare to the Rustica. Prices are also very reasonable for the big slice of pizza. Now for some cons to this place. It isn't really worth going unless you're already on Lincoln Road for something else (shopping, the movies, etc.). The pizza isn't always fresh. Sometimes it has been sitting there for who knows how long, and you can tell. They do heat it up for you and serve it at a perfect temperature, so that is a plus! One huge problem is their refill situation. Sometimes they're willing to refill your drink with no problems, but I've ran into a situation more than once where they wanna charge me $.60 for a refill, and all I have is my credit card. Sorry, PIzza Rustica, you gotta change this and change it fast. Other than that, this place is great, and gets extra points for being open super late to satisfy those late night pizza cravings.

    After a few drinks, Pizza Rustica becomes the BEST pizza around. The crust is thick and toppings cover the pizza. For around $5, you can get a rectangular slice made up of 6 small squares. The variety available is awesome. Anyone can find a type of pizza they will like here. So far, I've enjoyed the Spicy Sausage w/ Red Onions, Green & Red Peppers, the Margherita & the Chicken Parmesan. All have had good flavor and very decent ingredients. I like my pizza a little more saucy than they tend to serve but again, after a couple of drinks, who cares? This location is better than the one on 9th & Washington. It feels bigger and definitely has better ventilation. There's also plenty of seating in front of the restaurant, which the other location lacks. Staff was quick and efficient. No time for pleasantries, but not the typical SoBe attitude either. I had to hold back a star because I haven't had a slice when I've been sober yet. So my review is probably a little bit skewed.

  • Alissa W.

    Ok so you are on Lincoln Rd. and want a quick bite to eat. You do not want to deal with the typical lousy tourist service this is your place. There are tons of seats to people watch here.Finally a fast food place that nailed it on quality. The pizza is not NY thin crust pizza. They are huge squares that one is more then enough for me then run in price from $3.50 to $5.95. All the veggies are fresh yes fresh very impressive. Even their muhrooms pizza has fresh mushrooms on it. The quality and prices are great this place is awesome you will be seeing my face over and over again :)

  • Mark G.

    So this place was really good, I really enjoyed the different styles of pizza. Let me also say that I'm sort of a pizza sob - I LOVE the stuff. There crust was absolutely delicious - my only complaint is they could maybe tone down on the olive oil - but it was still amazing even w/ the olive oil flavor. The sauce is equally incredible - you could see the stewed and mashed tomatoes - it was finger licking good. I had the Blue Cheese and spinach - not sure what kind of sauce it had, but it was really good. Go out on a limb, you won't be disappointed.

  • Christina V.

    I absolutely cannot say enough about this place. If you havent been here then you need to go immedately. The food is amazing, the prices are reasonable, and the service is usually very quick and chipper. Its one of those places that you can just pop into, grab a slice, and just eat it while you window shop. I love that. Definately a MUST.

  • Cecile S.

    I guess dealing with drunk people on a regular basis makes the staff at pizza rustica irritable. The service from every person we encountered was extremely rude. When we asked for the check the waitress snapped back at us that she wasn't in charge of our table. Well ok thanks! The pizza quality was not as good as it has been in the past. No one at our table left satisfied. The slices were cut smaller than usual too. I'm going to stay away from this location and stick to the Washington Ave one. I suggest you do the same.

  • Jacob C.

    All I have to say is Bar-B-Q Chicken Pizza...go get some right now....what are you waiting for...GO!! Well if you're still reading then I guess I can proceed to tell you that Pizza Rustica is one of my favorite late night spots. It's a no frills pizza joint but with so many different choices for pizzas instead of just cheese and pepperoni. They make several different pizzas with some of the combinations of toppings being kind of crazy but they all manage to taste amazing. Do yourself a favor and the next time you want to get a quick bite to eat then swing by the nearest Pizza Rustica a scoop up a slice.

  • Katie M.

    This review is long overdue...especially considering today was likely the 4-5th time that I've had a Pizza Rustica salad for not only lunch but dinner. Yes, I know, I really need to learn how to make my own salads! However, when an enormous, delicious and made to order salad on Lincoln Road costs less than $8, I can't resist! Pick your fave kind of lettuce and then choose from six different sorts of cheese, six kinds of meat and a massive variety of veggies...and indulge in one of their mega yummy breadsticks. The restaurant isn't fancy and they bump crazy club music at a volume level that is a bit too loud for my taste, but salads are great and the Lincoln Road people watching can't be beat.

  • Orpheus R.

    Great for late night eats after boozing in South Beach. What I really like about the place was the variety. You walk in and are immediately overwhelmed by a large number of different pre-cooked , HUGE slices of pizza ready to be re-heated and devoured in a few minutes. All kinds of toppings and combos: spinach, chicken, sausage, sliced eggs, tomato, olives, peppers,etc. etc. etc. The downside is because everything is pre-made, there is no need (or desire to wait for) a freshly made pie, which I am sure would be even better than what I tasted. Was it the best pizza I ever had? No. But it was good and when I find myself stumbling down Lincoln Road at 1am, I will most likely head in and grab a slice to soak up the night's hard work. BTW, you only need ONE slice unless you didn't eat all day. I made the mistake of getting two and ending up have the second one for lunch the next day.

  • Colleen L.

    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Pizza Rustica. Best pizza I've ever had. But i would like to take a moment to hate on the lunch special. It's $9.99 for a slice, a salad and a soda. Cool. A slice is usually $5, so that means the salad and soda are $5. Whether or not that is a good deal depends on the salad, n'est-ce pas? Enter salad. Sad, sad salad. Half a handful of limp greens topped with chopped tomatoes, shredded carrots and raw onions with a side of balsamic vinaigrette. Barf. It was wet and small and gross. I guess that's better than wet and big and gross. Less to throw out. They could've at least given me a choice of dressing to drench the grossness in. Honestly, the "lunch special" is a total waste of money. Especially considering I work in a building that has cans of soda for $0.65 each. They were also super swamped with a lunch/tourist crowd around 2pm and forgot I'd ordered the not-so-"special." So not only was it gross, but I had to wait for it. Worsticles.

    Gourmet Pizza to the MAX... Miami... Wow. We always try a new kind every time we go and share. They have expanded their outdoor seating! Good job! Do try it if you have a hanker for some crazy (or traditional) pizza and you are in the SoBe area. Shrimp on pizza??? Yep! Salad on Pizza? Saves me the effort of shoveling the salad into my mouth with a fork while I eat my pizza.

    Pizza Rustica? More like Pizza Fantastica! It's basically the most delicious pizza in the world. I live in NY, and in a city where there are pizza joints practically every block, I still dream of Pizza Rustica. I recommend this place to every single person that says they are visiting Miami. If you haven't been yet, you must go! Now!!! You won't be let down. One slice is more than enough to fill you up, and fulfill all of your pizza dreams.

    I love Pizza! Okay let's start with that, if its pizza-Im all for it. I think tehre are so many pizza rustica locations just in the beach alone, maybe thats why its so popular. I ordered a bbq chicken pizza in which Ive had from almost everywhere. This pizza was square, not a crispy or crunchy texture..more of a thick doughy bread. I actually enjoyed the flavor of the pizza-it seemed as if there was a mix between bbq sauce and tomato sauce, there wasn';t one distinct flavor. Toppings were good brought some peppers and onions. I do have to say though-I like the bbq chicken pizza better at Grooveys, or Gino's pizza anyday. And the staff here seems a bit rude and rushed. I didnt even get to sit down yet when a waitress asked if I was done. When I was waiting on my food. Its very cramped inside and hectic. END RESULT" good pizza if your starving and in the area....for better pizza HIt up Groovey's or Gino's Pizza and Brew.

  • Florence Y.

    I have always shamelessly drooled as I walked by people eating Pizza Rustica on Lincoln...and one fine day, I finally dived in for the real deal and I must say...it's probably the best pizza I had in a long time! Option to wait in line for a table inside or outside or to buy and go outside..sit on that grass patch thingy and still people watch?? Option two for me, please! I had the "special pizza" with chicken, canadian bacon and corn. My friend advised against getting two slices...which was a wise decision. I ordered a bottle of sweetened ice tea...which was perfect. Don't remember the brand of it now. We sat outside and picked at our pizza. It's cut into 8 smaller pieces..and the usually-greedy me only had 6! It was that filling! I was sooooooooooooo pleased and fulfilled after! Thank you PR for satisfying my crazy carb cravings and for making me feel guiltless because I know it was worth every damn bite! Tip-bits: Cash only, I believe Unlesss you are starving, order one slice. It really fills you up! Tip the staff, they can remember your order and get it right..as the line grows insanely long on a weekend! They are THAT good! :) I heard they open till 5am!

    The pizza is alright not that great, only reason I eat it is because they are close to my house and are open late. Everytime I order they take it upon themselves to replace my toppings with what they think will do. I HATE THAT!! If i order asiago cheese dont overload me with mozzarella instead. I would have chosen no cheese at all. Ok the pizza kinda sucks it always comes soggy and falls apart. Now let me get started with the service at this place...OMG its bad. They employ the rudest biaaatchezzz on the planet. They arent even good looking so why do I have to take their crap? They seem to all be from Argentina and boy does the arrogant rumor apply! The other day I was eating at Nexxt and watching two of the girls physically fighting in their uniforms right in front of customers with their children. It was extremely entertaining to say the least. This place is only good for people who cant spend much but still want to have the people watching experience of lincoln road. Listen to the advice of Lisa C. Go to Spris. I loveee Spris oh sooo yummy.

    Pizza Rustica brings back great memories of my time in Rome since the pizza there is cut into squares and on display like they have them. It also tastes like its Roman counterpart with the freshness of its toppings and the perfection of its crust. I'm happy I don't have to travel to Rome to have pizza like that. Pizza Rustica is the best in Miami, and by the amount of people sitting all around the restaurant you know that this has to be true. What makes it so good? Aside from what I have already mentioned- it's also great because of the variety of pizza that they offer- they have something there for everybody! Another reason why it's the best is also the price- it's super cheap for a good 4 slices of square pizza! Why else? Because when you've just left Buck 15- and you can't see straight, nothing tastes better than a warm, cheesy, fresh slice of homemade pizza!

    One of the better chains in Miami. Usually it's solid everytime. Tried there margarita pizza as well as the Arugula salad pizza. The latter was delicious for different take. The margarita is pretty good but the recipe seems to be changing lately for more a more mainstream style.

  • Carlos D.

    Oh, the eternal, infallible Pizza Rustica. Dealer of deep comfort and unmatched recourse to the somnambulant alcohol-fueled masses of Miami Beach. Forget talking about the delicious and perfectly proportioned square slices, Pizza Rustica deserves a humanitarian award for sobering up half of Miami well enough to drive home. It's not perfect and it certainly doesn't taste as great when you're not drunk, but Pizza Rustica is a uniquely Miami Pizza experience that's almost always worth taking (and surprisingly Abuela-approved.) Best flavors: Canadian Bacon, Roasted Chicken and Corn Pizza, New York Steak Pizza, Caesar Salad on Whole Wheat Pizza, Spinach and Blue Cheese Pizza, Three Mushroom Pizza, Chicken Fiorentina Pizza. Advice: The sandwiches are good, the salads are not. Do not eat Pizza Rustica more than twice a week, it's easy to get sick of.

    This is the place for Pizza on South Beach. I have been to all 3 locations and the product is consistently good at all of them. I have never tried their plain cheese pizza but have tried just about every other type offered there. They have tons of unique toppings and these slices are bursting with flavor. For $5.00 you have your order ready to go. Typically I can't even finish the slice. It is that filling! The place is full of energy with some great music pumping through the sound system. They are even open late for that much needed snack after a night of clubbing. I recommend taking the pizza to go when at the Lincoln Road location. Service can be a bit slow.

    Great late night pizza! So great, we went back the next day for lunch, and it was still great! That's how you know a spot is fantabulous. In the craziness of Halloween on Lincoln Rd in South Beach, I got my cheese slices within a fairly decent time frame. The next day for lunch, I had the BBQ Shrimp and Caprese and it was heaven on a paper plate sitting next to a rainy window! Our waitress was fun and lively, and danced to the constant techno music during our stay. She also settled a bet between my fiance and I on her age. *I won.*

  • Ana K.

    The pizza is GREAT, the service is HORRENDOUS! I've dined here several times and the food is always delicious, but the service varies from lethargic to non existent. I think it's because it is Lincoln Road, tourist central, and most of these people will not return, or will the next year when they're in vacation again. It's unfortunate the restaurants here have this mentality, as locals also dine in the area. They tip is already included n the bill like always in Miami Beach, so slow service or not, they still get the 18%.

  • Laurie L.

    one of my absolute FAVORITE lincoln road destinations! not only is the people watching unbelievably good at this spot, but the pizza is absolutely fabulous. um hello, $4.95 for a huuge rectanglar masterpiece?! sign me UPPP! they have SO many different pizza varieties that will surely please every picky palate. i've tried the chicken&spinach florentine, veggie, cheese, and caesar salad pizzas. the florentine and veggie were absolutely delicious. the caesar? ehh not so much. i think the BEST advice i have is to walk inside the restaurant while you're waiting for your table - they have ALL the pizzas on display! it definitely helps to see what looks good and...what doesn't. it really doesn't get any better (or cheaper) than pizza rustica. LOVES IT. p.s. they charge for soda refills! just a heads up.

    Defiantly as good as EVERYONE says it is. It stays open late - I dropped in at about 3am. Great fusion pizzas. I had a slice of the shrimp creole, bbq chicken and a pepperoni. I didnt eat all three (wish I could of) - couldn't finish it all. great portions for the price. I think the only down fall is that there are not free refills but it is the beach...

    I think this place is a little overrated. There, I said it. The pizza's ok. I like the variety they offer of their "gourmet" style pizza but I guess when they offer so many options, it's no surprise that they'd have them all sitting there in a heating pan and pulling out slices or slabs one at a time to be placed in the oven as you order. I've had them build pizzas for a table, too, so that we could have them sitting out on the patio, and those have been noticeably better than when I just walk up and order a slice or a "slice." I'm convinced people like this place most because of the location and because it's a bit of an affordable easy-stop oasis that offers of all things PIZZA, which is usually a hit. It's good, but not that good. It's far from great. But I've been there plenty of times and I'm sure that I'll be visiting it again soon and just as frequently as before.

    I have tried a lot of different pizza places in my life, as well as a few different places while vacationing here in Miami Beach and this place is the best of it's class so far. It's so good that we went there more than once. The price is right, there are plenty of different types of pizza to choose from and the staff is very friendly. It's great place to grab lunch and sit out on the boardwalk or hit up on the way home from the club. My favorite pizza was the spinach and bleu cheese. I wish I knew about this place when I went to Miami the same time last year. I will definately eat there again in the future.

    Service was terrible. I wasn't impressed with the pizza either. I wish gratuity wasn't included. Maybe she would have actually paid attention to us if she knew she would get a tip out of it. Instead, she talked w the other waitresses and checked her texts on her phone. I'd have rather ordered Domino's Pizza.

    While visiting Miami from CA with some friends, we were wandering Lincoln aimlessly searching for somewhere to grab a quick to-go sandwich ... which apparently doesn't exist on Lincoln, we were quick to find out. We ended up in Pizza Rustica as a last resort and were all more than satisfied after scarfing our delicious warm pie in a record 15 seconds flat. The only downside to the meal was that it was balls hot outside and sweating while you're eating pizza is not hot.

  • Liz Z.

    had a "slice" (more like a 'square') of the con 3 funghi pizza during a warm Friday with a good friend who had recommended the place. the place is cheap, serves extremely large portions of pizza "slices" (quite a contrast to what South Beach health craze-rs would consider 'portion'), and the service is appropriate enough for a pizza joint. plus, the wait staff doesn't give you the stink eye if all you get is pizza and a baby bottle of Pellegrino. when i come back to SoBe, i'm definitely checking this place out again. it's a must-go if you or anyone you care about LOVES pizza. i'm just scared to bring my husband here (being the pizza-feign that he is), because i swear he'll be packing this place's portions into his lunch bag day-in and day-out. then i'll have to make sure to sneak in a couple of Tums tablets for the side effects. yes, it's THAT good!

    I was amazed with the flavors of their pizza, and our server was so kind and polite. But wait until you try to use their restroom - it was beyond disgusting... I mean I didn't expect an amazing bathroom, but that was GHETTO: there were just 2 stalls and I couldn't pick which one was the least gross! There was pee all over the floor and toilet seats, trash cans overflowing and piling up with paper on the floor, not to mention there was ZERO toilet paper left and neither paper for the hands (didn't the technology of blower arrive at Lincoln road yet?). So I had to go to the kitchen to ask for toilet paper (I figured to ask someone to clean the entire bathroom would take too long), so then the people on the kitchen starts to argue in Spanish (did they think I couldn't understand it?) saying that I was the 3rd customer that complains about the lack of toilet paper. They got lost on their Spanish argument without acknowledging that was still standing there. I had to leave and get napkins from my table and resolve this matter on my own. Wow Pizza Rustica, a proper management would not let this go by... And to think that their staffs use that disgusting bathroom did not look good either!! Come on just a decent bathroom would do - is that really too much to ask?

    Just having been down in miami all last week for WMC I made a point of stopping by Pizza Rustica. Hands down the best pizza in miami! The slices are huge - they cut each one into 6 small squares. My fav is the spicy sausage and the new york steak. But everything Ive had there was banging. I got 2 slices - ate half for diner then came home at 6am from Shine and had a drunken meal waiting for me.

  • Michael B.

    Amazing! This is one of my favorite places in the world. I would come just to Miami to get some pizza. Before 11pm or so, you can order the huge pizza for under $20. After 11pm or whenever the drunks are out, the prices go up and are by slice only. Sober or drunk, I love this pizza. Excellent location right near Lincoln and all the bars. Highly recommended!

  • Alicia T.

    I consider myself a pizza junkie. Hm, Pizza Rustica. This pizza is blah at best to me. Mind you, I have not tried all the exotic concoctions everyone is mentioning in their reviews. When I try a new pizza place, I like to keep it simple with the regular meats (pepperoni, sausage, ham, whatever) and thats what I got at this location last year. I have tried this place twice and both times left me wishing I'd saved the calories for something more satisfying. I love that they serve by the slice, that the slices are huge, and that they're cheap (especially for this area), but there is NOTHING special about their slices. They have all the pizza's sitting out and then they heat it up when you order. Both times, my slices kind of just tasted like bland, re-heated pizza that I had for dinner last night, and the pizza never was heated to the point where the cheese was gooey. It just got very warm. The crust is very thick and to me, not very flavorful so you get alot of blah bread for nothing. I would NEVER EVER NEVER go to this place if I want pizza. I would rather spend $5 and get a thin buttery crusted, fresh, pepperoni from *gasp* should I even dare say Little Ceasars? But, I guess I'm in the minority so Eat on south Floridians! P.S. I thought this place was only good for people that have been getting hammered all night on sobe.

  • Jen C.

    Yum, I'm sold. Tons of creative different types of big slices of pizza. Nicely warmed with a crispy crust. It was fantabulous. I went here once late night when all the drunkies were out - that was a very chaotic time to try and get pizza. It was completely disorganized in taking orders, getting your order, and paying. You would think the girls behind the counter would've had it figured out a little better because I'm sure this is a nightly occurrence there on the weekends. But oh well, we eventually got our pizza and were happy once we ate it. Just a few seats indoors and plenty of outdoor seating. The hostess standing outside was a little pushy in trying to get us to get a seat at one of their tables... Um, excuse me - No thank you - I can order my pizza and carry it out myself.

  • Marcos R.

    I like that you can get pizza by the slice and that they've got tons of unique slices already available just waiting to be reheated. For me, I can't have a full fledged dinner, then go drinking/clubing. It's gotta be moderate to a light meal before I go out, if anything at all. So a healthy sized slice of love from Rustica does the trick for me.

  • Sierra F.

    I don't like pizza at all but this one gave me a glimpse of what I was missing . I don't believe that I will be having pizza often but if it were like this I may change my mind . Good special for 9.99

    Pizza Rustica literally saved my life during the 2007 - WMC. Decent pizza when you are starving to death from too much partying. Good range of toppings and it's quick......so you can get back to what's important. DANCING!

  • Joel S.

    I am not a fan of this place at all. it would get 5 stars for variety, but the 2 for execution - and honestly thats really what its all about. The pizza quality suffers because of all the things they try to do. I am not a fan of the thick crusts and honestly some of the varieties leave something to be desired. When I lived on the beach I would get their delivery and these pizzas were much better than the ones that sit in the window for hours and hours. I understand the need for drunk food but there are better options. If I was on Washington I would head right over to the Alibi instead. If I were on Lincoln - well I am usually not on Lincoln when its time for a slice. I understand all the love but to me this is all style (variety) and very little substance (taste).

  • Monika K.

    yummmy pizza w a plethora of choices to pick from. fresh and tasty... got the $10 special, small salad, slice of pizza and soda...the 3 mushroom slice ( which are huge slices), very flavorful and tasty. good stuff, always busy but very fast and good service. I've had a soggy not so tasty experience in FtL hence the 3 stars...and glancing over some of these reviews makes me wonder if my group of friends were just lucky this sat night...

  • Dan B.

    There is alot to love about Pizza Rustica. First of all, this location is open very late which is a key advantage. But, you're not just getting any old late slice of pizza, you're getting a huge rectangle of pan pizza with all kinds of toppings on it. The variety is awesome. I hadn't been in a while but today I tried the roma basil pizza and some of the spinach with bleu cheese pizza. They were both fantastic. The basil pizza came with a whole wheat crust and the bleu cheese on the other pizza was such a great idea. At $4.95 for a big portion and quality ingredients, you can't go wrong. It's very affordable and very worth it. Think about it, a nasty combo from Wendy's will be almost $7 but here at Pizza Rustica, you can get quality ingredients and a good, healthy, and hearty meal for under $5?? That's awesome.

  • Sunny N.

    Love this place-I'm from Chicago and I love my deep dish pizza and ever since moving to Miami no pizza has brought me happiness until this place. Not deepdish pizza but it taste FN awesome. A big ol' slice for a couple of bucks-love it!

  • Mona L.

    We love Pizza Rustica, when we're down in south beach, we stop for a few slices to take home. We also like to sit outside the restaurant and people watch. another Pizza Rustica just opened in Downtown Hollywood, which is close to home. The restaurant itself is bigger and has more seating. We love coming here for a quick bite to eat, the pizza is delicious and there is quite a selection. We love the barbecue chicken and new york steak, but alwayss try something new.

    (5)
  • Steph W.

    Great place for a cheap meal and great people watching! Where else on lincoln road can you sit and relax, while eating for under $10. One slice of pizza is more than enough for one person and the wide selection of different pies is great and will suit anyone. Best place to go for a quick bit while need a break after shopping along lincoln road

  • diana a.

    so, i came here last night after dancing and as soon as i walked in i noticed the "people on yelp love us" sticker which is always awesome to see. i had a chicken parmesan panini but, it was lacking. the chicken was so thin that it felt as if it had none at all. oh well, i picked the wrong dish to eat, next time i will just get a pizza.

  • Alexis Y.

    I love that every Miamian has a great story about what went down at Pizza Rustica. Like the big fight right outside the store, then the one in the store when someone accidentally knocked a slice of pizza out of a customer's hand. The first time I ever tried Hawaiian pizza was here. I tried it at other pizza joints and it just doesn't do it for me. I also like the "pizza rustica" at Pizza Rustica. :)

    Best Pizza Place Ever. I'd take away a star for the fact there's no organization whatsoever to the service, but really, that's part of the charm. So much fucking charm.

    The size is just right and it's affordable. The music doesn't bother me that much, but it does make ordering harder. The line can be very long. I think they charge you just for a cup of water.. unless they like you. lol and I always make sure I bring my red bull with me. :P

  • Liana S.

    I've never really understood the facination that people (and the Miami New Times) has with Rustica. The pizza comes in quantity, not quality. Flavor don't exist here and the only reason to eat the pizza is if you're starving and only have $6 left to you're name. Harsh but true.

    My favorite pan style type pizza in town. It is very cheap, you will pay about $6 per slice and which should easily feed a hungry person. The service is always slow outside but if you go inside you get much more timely service.

  • Tanna C.

    Yummyness!! I love the whole wheat crust. They are always busy but they move fast. By far one of the best pizza places I've been to anywhere. The Lincoln Road location is great because you also get the great people watching!

  • calvin l.

    I didn't know much about this place, and it was our second choice. I must say that this place is not that good. I read the other yelpers reviews and I have to disagree with them. The service was horrible. They kept asking who's next and when I said it was me they would look away and serve someone else. Now I don't know if I have a twin in Miami and he did something to make this place mad but it was making me mad. The staff there like to roll their eyes at me alot. Once I got the pizza it was served warm, but the day after put it in the microwave kind of warm. The flavor was just like California pizza kitchen but just on a lower quality scale. I would recommend this place to all people who like the day old pizza soggyness, being treated poorly and have to pay for it.

    (2)
  • Alex G.

    Always a good option, especially for a quick bit on your way to the beach, I have to admit that the quality is quite good, the service is o.k., I would like to see the places a little bit cleaner (the one in Washington and 6av). But definitely a place that has established a good name on South Beach -

    (3)
  • Peter M.

    This is not an overall review of Pizza Rustica, I just had to agree with Janelle F. that the pizza with fresh spinach and blue cheese is awesome. I think it is so good that I have never ordered anything else but that in the ten times I have eaten there.

    (4)
  • Alph G.

    Pizza Rustica is just okay for me. Everyone raves about this place, but I think it's just alright. I sort of prefer NY style pizza I guess. It does have a lot of inventive toppings. And it's not expensive. But I don't like the crust very much, and generally think there are much better (cheap) deals in South Beach.

    (3)
  • Angie O.

    Best pizza - better than Chicago, SF, NYC and probably Italy. The atmosphere inside was very SoBe in a good way. A little kitchy, but again, in a good way. Shrimp Pesto deep dish = $5 (tasty jumbo shrimp, not tasteless shrimp cocktail) Getting to eat it every night for 2 weeks? = priceless The service? Fantastic. One gal in particular - part of the family that ran the chain was always there so sincere and enthusiastic and not plastic or overly shiny/happy. Natural, normal, Cuban/SoBe culture poured out of her. She was talking of opening a store in San Francisco. We should only be so lucky to have them here.

    Everyone should come here for a bite of pizza. This Lincoln Rd location offers a small amount of seating so be prepared to pounce when you see seating open outside. You know a place is good when they can make a cheese pizza taste DIVINE. But they also got the fancy toppings like basil, fresh mozzarella, shrimp, etc. on pizzas that are behind their counter glass. Pizzas start around $3 a slice and are generous slices. Bonus: thin-style pizza, good ingredients, variety of toppings, late-night hours. Con: Cash only!

  • Paul I.

    These visiting New Yorkers loved this place. The pizza was beyond words. New Yorkers have a passion for good pizza, so you can trust me. This place was recommended by friends of mine who live in Miami, and I am so glad I took their advice. This pizza is thick the way pizza is supposed to be. We ordered the bread sticks for an appetizer and I am so glad we did. Their breadsticks are different from any other I've had. They are little pizza's!! What a cool idea. And the price? I have to say, they could charge a lot more. Just think of all the shopping you can do, in this beautiful area with the money you save!!

  • Pukar R.

    This place is pretty good. We decided to try it since there were always a ton of people so we figured it must be decent. The slices are huge! We were going to order 2 of each (we had bbq chicken and something else) and glad we didn't. The pizza was a bit cold but it was pretty good. Sitting on the mall and eating is a fun experience, and the pizza made everything better. Will definitely go back.

  • Maria C.

    I liked this place. They had a good selection of toppings and flavors. I especially liked the potato pizza and the veggie was also good. Extra points for the wheat dough that they used. We ordered from the group menu - I think it was about $38 for a HUGE pizza to feed 9 girls. Great deal. Friendly wait staff. Excellent. Cash only.

  • monica c.

    I love pizza rustica. Seriously, i do. I just don't seem to ever have luck with this location. The pizza always tastes really doughy and no matter whether you get a plain cheese (no idea why you would) or have 10 toppings on your slice including shrimp and corn if that's your thing, it seems to tastes the same throughout. Not to mention the fact that I am a big fan of crispy corners which fail me and limply hang down when I pick up my little squares. The staff is always screaming when they speak to you because they figure you love trance music and that's all they ever play, and they play it loud enough for the outside seating customers to (not)enjoy. They didn't even have my pizza of choice (NY supreme $4.95) so I was extra bummed. Stick to the one on Washington, although it's smaller and you get to deal with more drunky south beachy club goers the pizza is tastier.

  • Sarah H.

    This place is on the ritzy Lincoln street-- a good break from all the high end eateries around. All their pizza's looked good, so it was hard to decide what to get! I think a pizza slice (BIG) was about $4 or so and it was tasty and filling! The beer was $3-$4 or so. Not too bad. A good place to go if you're on a budget and want some good food!

    (4)
  • Amazing value for money and great quality. We stupidly opted for an 18 pizza (which is massive and kept us going for two days) but the service was fast and the food great. No nonsense pizza and beer. Makes a change from some of the overpriced dross on Lincoln

    perfect post-clubbin' still buzzin' snack. get it "extra crispy" and get 'em to cut it into 6 slices to share with friends and try out all the combos! i'm not sure how tasty the pizzas would be during normal sober hours...

  • Rob C.

    Pizza Rustica has several locaitons. The Miami Beach one often has late-night club goers--definitely perfect for a quick bite. The pizza focus is on the variety of "fancy" toppings. They call it Roman-style rectangular pan pizza. I think it's pretty good, inexpensive, and lives up to its many accolades. Remember it's for late night eating!

  • Lynnette P.

    This is some yummy pizza. I love it cause it's like your actually getting pizza in Rome! Though I have never been, i have seen the pics and it looks the same. Great place too from a night of partying in SoBe. I'm in Southern California, but I will make it a point to stop at the one in LA when I'm close by and in the mood for some great pizza!

  • Jean R.

    humongous slice of pizza thats cut in 6 for 4.75 only problem is they take only cash, so be ready to pay the dollar bills upfront. me and my sister basically lived off of this food (really the only dining place that's cheap around here). i've tried bbq shrimp (pretty good), the one with spinach (all right), but my favorite was "rustica." i would definitely recommend you to try it!! they also have toppings with whole wheat crust for the health-conscious

    Lincoln rd Pizza Rustica = yummm. It doesn't matter if you're day-time pool side at the Delano or night-time stumbling back from Mansion, Pizza Rustica is the ish. I do the cheese, tomato, and basil or sausage - both are stellar. When you're looking for good pizza in south beach, this is your spot.

    i love this pizza to death...........I'm starting to find a pizza trend in my reviews.........what can i say i have 2 kids we eat allot of pizza.......not really like once a month..............anyway back to Pizza Rustica i love it here there is a mass quantity of pizza to choose from..........there is the Hawaiian, white pizza, plain cheese, peperoni, sausage with onion, BBQ chicken, and they usually have a few different new flavors, its cool that it comes in a rectangle shape, every time I'm in south beach i try and stop bye for a slice its part of the experience of SOBE...if in the area at least stop bye and try a piece for your self...........I've even eaten the pizza sober and it is good as hell!!!!!

  • Kathi C.

    It's a little more fru-fru than the pizza-by-the-slice in New York City, where you can smell good pizza from outside the place. But there's something special about six little squares of pizza, making a perfect portion for a decent priced lunch in South Beach or post clubbing snack. My favorites are the 3-mushroom, spicy sausage, or the spinach and blue cheese, for something un-traditional!

    (3)
  • Melisa S.

    We got a margarita pizza because there were no thin-crust selections by the slice. In the meanwhile had regular slice which was just ok. The girl behind the desk had attitude when I asked her where my drink was (that I had just looked her in the eye and ordered clearly a minute earlier). She needed to ring me up again. The pizza came out with one piece of basil on it, although was good. I just have very low tolerance for attitude and having worked as a waitress in my past find no reason for it. Most of the time service in Miami isn't the most refined, but usually people are friendly. This was the exception.

  • Tiffany L.

    I never ever choose to eat pizza but I'm sure glad I did. My friends and I stopped in here for a quick bite because it was convenient and we just happened to stumble in here while shopping. They have an insane assortment of pizzas that I have never seen before! We tried the tomato basil and the chicken corn and I loved both. The waitress was extremely sweet and quick. Note: If you dont want to pay the 18% gratuity they automatically tack on, don't sit down and just order at the counter.

    Well.... I need to write a review for this place simply because one of my all time favorite foods is of course PIZZA! But then again, I'm not the only one out there that loves that greasy yummy stuff. Anyhow, I have a few cons about this place I feel I should put out there for the world of south Florida to know about. I have to say that there has not been one time that I have gone to Pizza Rustica and been treated ok. The employees here are more than just rude, I have had my money thrown at me and practically given the worst attitude by most of the girls working there. Sometimes, I want to eat the pizza there but then I think about the horrible service I receive when I go and I end up going somewhere else. I really have to be craving pizza rustica to actually go. It's an unfortunate thing but its the reality of the matter, that is just Miami for you, people don't want to work and when they are working they treat anybody like a piece of trash (to put in nicely). =) But the pizza is good dispite the quality of the service there.

    My kind of pizza, kinda reminds me of Arizmendi in Oakland. A very large variety of different styles of pizza available in small slices or 'squares' four small slices together for about $4.00. Right on Lincoln Road, a few chairs out front and bottled beers make this is a great place to grab lunch and do some people watching.

    Miami Beach's primo spot to "catch a slice" when the hunger pangs strike and nothing will quite set it straight as a legit slice as you walk Lincoln Road Mall. I enjoyed a business lunch there today on my recommendation, as my two associates had never heard of the place (they're both non-Yelpers of course....). They both loved it, we had a full pie, half done Hawaiian and the other Chicken Fiorina (or something to that effect) which consists of huge white chicken breast chunks, artichoke, spinach and mozzarella! Very fulfilling goodness. A tip for first timers - Make sure to order your pizza by the slice! This was the first time that I had eaten from a whole pie made-to-order and I was as impressed as when I picked from their vast selection of pre-assembled slices as the photos in the gallery demonstrate. Why so? I believe its because they bake the pie crusts first and use just the right amount of olive oil to properly "grease up" and preserve each slice, then assemble it awaiting a customer's order to complete the bake and leave the individual slice in what I call, absolute perfection..... The whole pie just isn't as sumptuous as the singles..... Just my two cents. So when in South Beach, do them justice and taste the legitimate Italian-ess of it all, as their version of what a slice is supposed to be like is like no other in the area. Keep in mind that the best fringe benefit of all is the people watching in the area that attracts every lifestyle imaginable.

    This is a great cheap lunch option on Lincoln Road. My wife and I both had delicious slices of quality pizza, on wheat crust (which we both loved), for only five bucks. These slices were loaded with quality toppings. The slices are so big that they cut them into six little slices when they bring them out to you and one slice would be a meal for about 80% of the population. Having a lunch for two for under $15 while people watching and eating outside on Lincoln Road is simply an amazing deal.

    If loving Pizza Rustica is wrong, I don't want to ever be right. I've been eating here for years before I even moved to Miami. The flavor concepts are creative, and the execution is flawless. Their staff is very energetic and they can keep up with incredible demand, even on Halloween night. WARNING: it's very difficult to eat only one slice :)

    Tried the delivery upon recommendation of hotel after long flight from Chicago. Cheese pizza was a hit with my 10 year-old son. Prompt delivery, good pizza.

    It's so good... ...that I've driven 15 miles from my house to the beach at 4:30AM on a Monday just to get my munch on... ...that it's the first place I go when i get off the plane at MIA... ...that even when i'm not hungry, I can make a place in my heart for a slice of hawaiian... ...that if you show up at the "magic hour", are as sweet as pie to the staff, and overtip, they'll give you a whole pie for the road. BEST PIZZA EVER.

    Well umm I guess I over-did it. The past couple times I ordered from them either they were out of the pizza I wanted or they just messed up my order. The pizza we got was just okay. I would rather take my chances with Dominos or Pizza Hut from now on. At least they are consistent. Oh and on one order they forgot to give me the soda, and I complained to the delivery person which he simply replied....."sorry." No offer to replace or discount or anything! The following order I told them on the phone I didn't get my soda on the last order and they billed me for it. Bad customer service. I wont be calling back for a long time. They still owe me a soda!!!

    The pizza was okay. This place did not have the New York style pizza I was looking for. Almost all of the pizza are pan style, with thicker crust except for one that is specifically just thin crust cheese pizza. I'm sure you can add whatever toppings you want to suit your tastes. They definitely have a large selection of pizzas. I believe at least 15 different pre-made types to order by the slice. I ordered the Spinaci e Blue Cheese pizza. The toppings were good, but the pizza itself seemed a little greasy. I know this seems like a ridiculous comment about a food that is topped with cheese, but not all pizza is greasy. It could have been because the crust was thick and absorbed lots of oil from the cheese. I'm not sure what it was, but it was more oily than I am accustomed to. I would say that if you're looking for a large selection of pizza by the slice then this place is good for you. However, if you're looking for New York style thin crust, look somewhere else.

    Pizza Rustica has the great idea of letting you get a pie with half of one combination of toppings (like barbecue chicken) and something different on the other half (like the New York steak). It worked really well and everyone was very happy with the choice. they also make a decent margarita slice, which is not in the traditional New York pizza slice style. The Pizza Rustica slices are larger and cut into little squares. This is a nice idea if you are sharing slices, but in my world, pizza slices are not shared. Service was okay. Our waitress seemed a little preoccupied with talking with her friends, but that was okay. We sat outside and watched the ocean of people stroll by on Lincoln Road. Is this New York pizza? no way, but its not bad either. A good under $10 a person lunch.

    Hot, cheap, fast, AND delicious - all on a paper plate. I paid $4.75 for a really big portion of very yummy BBQ Chicken pizza. It was loaded with big chunks of chicken and lots of fresh vegetables. There were at least a dozen different options, many that looked like they had some gorgeous salads piled on top of them. It was hard to decide! I also had a little plastic cup of white wine and the total was still under $10. Heck yeah. I was surrounded by massses of cute gay boys and the loud Spanish music was bumping away. Great alternative when you don't have time (or the $$$) for the other lovely Lincoln Rd. options!

    How? Might I ask, do you beautiful SOBE people stay so slim and slender when you have the option of consuming Pizza Rustica anyday you want?! Speaking from experience, the two times I visited South Beach I consumed half of my meals at Pizza Rustica-and this was holding back! Maybe you opt for the wheat crust? Maybe you only allow yourself the veggie pizza? Or maybe you only get ONE large slice versus the two I must get . Yes I do feel guilty as I use both hands to carry the four plates it takes to hold my two overflowing slices of pizza. But I withstand the judgement. The minute I take a bite into the Tomato Basil, or the Hawaiin, or the Pesto with Chicken, Im in Rustica heaven!!! The ingredients are the freshest you will find at ANY pizza place. Joyfully all 20 or so pizza options are displayed in the window for your viewing and consuming pleasure. You know whats on your pizza and there are no suprises. None of the ingredients look wilted or spoiled. They look as good as they taste. Just one of the many reasons why I Love Love Miami!!!!

    This is the second time we have experienced rude customer service from this location. Most of the wait staff does not care about customer service and refuse to come back to the table to give the receipt, pick it up, etc. I understand Miami laid back and like it, but this is out of hand! I have contacted Pizza Rustica corporate and they were very professional and genuinely appeared to try to take steps to correct this location. If you must eat at this location, order inside, and eat at any of their tables. Still a fan of the pizza/price, but will not order from the wait staff again and waste our 18% tip.

    Like most pizza joints, it's open late, it's fast, it's inexpensive. Unlike most places, you have a lot of choices. All kinds of pizzas by the slice! It's nice to have options. I don't really eat much pizza, but this place was pretty good.

  • Tom A.

    This is one of the best pizza place i have tried and there slices are huge but not your typical slice no u get a square peace and you can choose from many different toppings like the one i had was Blue cheese and spinach the only thing is they are a bit over priced for one square it will cost you $4.50 but it was a good tasty pizza witch i enjoyed in a upscale area of Miami Beach known to be an area for rich people.

    A bona fide deal on Lincoln Road mall. After the first meal and subsequent leftover, I thought I was pretty clever to buy one every time was passed just to keep it in the hotel room fridge for snacking.

  • Kristine B.

    I tried the spicy sausage, bbq chicken and margherita. There was nothing really special about the pizza. My least fave was the spicy sausage and the one I liked the best was the margherita. The service was fast, but other than that, there was nothing amazing about the place.

  • Maria A.

    Rustica is the crowd favorite pizza place on Lincoln Road and it's easy to see why. They have a lot of choices and good prices, plus you can pull up a chair and people watch while putting away the pizza and soda. The ease of service (no crazy long waits, no haughty attitude, or overpriced food) and long hours, plus pretty good pizza is what makes this place so popular. If you're going with friends, send in two people max with the order and have all available eyes looking for soon to be vacated tables. During South Beach Comedy Festival this place is also a prime viewing spot for free comedy shows.

    For $4.50 and $4.75, I had two slices of pizza - 1) funghi and 2) spinach with blue cheese) and they both were really good. I can't really explain what type of pizza Rustica serves though - it's not New York style, it's not Chicago style, and it's not even Italian style. Not Egyptian, Brazilian, Colombian or Argentinian. Maybe it's just a new "original" and it is what is making Miami well known since in the pizza circles, Rustica is pretty well respected, especially now that they're going nationwide. So for now, I'll just call it Miami style pizza - the dough is similar to focaccia in thickness and airiness. Toppings are plentiful and varied. But other than that, I don't think it's the best. I don't think it is the cheapest either. I just give it props for giving good pizza a class of its own. EDITED: Pizza connoisseurs have informed me that pizza rustica is in fact a type of pizza. "Pizza is cooked in long, rectangular baking pans and relatively thick (1-2 cm). The crust similar to that of an English muffin and mostly cooked in an electric oven." (Lazio-style Pizza (Rome), Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi… ) RETURNED: The experience was mixed... they didn't warm up my pizza enough so some of the slices I had tasted a bit uncooked and cold. I dropped the rating from 4 to 3 stars. There's many pizza joints in Miami Beach and some of them wouldn't even hand out uncooked pizza. Apparently this place isn't very consistent.

    Great place on Lincoln road to satisfy your pizza cravings!! But mind you the pizzas are huge. So a 14" is more than enough for 3 people (well exceptions being a starving group of young guys who in their right frame of mind can gobble up anything). If you are in a group of 5 and more, I recommend their 4-play pizza which is a HUGE combination of 4 pizzas of your choice served in a refreshing square shape (instead of the usual circle). Even 5 of us had trouble finishing the whole thing (2 guys and 3 girls). Its pretty common to get your pizza packed in the boxes they provide, you would see many ppl do the same. Recommended: Their lemon ice tea; its not a freshly made tea but whatever bottle they have (forgot to check the label), its delicious and a good pairing with the pizza. This place is open till 3 am, so could be a great option if you are nursing an early hangover and just scrambling for some late night grub.

    Hands down best pizza in all of Florida. Heck, it maybe the best pizza anywhere! And while there are a good handful of other Pizza Rustica's in the surrounding cities, this one is by far the best in terms of consistency and variety. Pizza Rustica is a South Beach icon to local and tourist alike. And if you don't feel like leaving your hotel or apartment after a long day at the beach, just get it delivered - it's free, fast, and cheap!! Did I mention they're open at all hours of the night?!

  • Linda R.

    We love to end our night at South Beach eating here. They have many unique toppings unimaginable. The portions are huge, we love the fact they are open late. The veggie pizza is amazing!! The food is consistently good; service sometimes can be a little slow. This is "the spot" in Lincoln Road where you can satisfy your hunger dirt cheap. Definitely recommend.

  • Andrew J.

    It's not the best pizza in the world, but the toppings rock. They give you a huge rectangular slice (Roman style) for under 5 bucks in a ground zero tourist location. For the $ and location you won't find better.

  • Chris G.

    Whenever I am in South Beach I have to visit this place. Yummy pizza in strange and exotic concoctions. Just ate there last night right before the "hurricane" hit. There tomato sauce is sweet and tangy. Try several types as it is CHEAP.. a nice change from the typical SB dining experience. I am not sure what is better the pizza or the people watching!

  • Jason S.

    They've got great pizzas at Pizza Rustica... as soon as you walk in you'll be greeted by an army of pizzas lying in front of you waiting to attack your hunger! With so many choices to choose from (I think over 20) it won't be long before a pizza that's calling out to you. They cover vegetarians as well as meatarians ( youtube.com/watch?v=K6p9… ) and everything in between. Some pizzas even came on wheat crust, for those types out there that like to order diet coke in the midst of a 1000 calorie fast food meal. My personal favorite so far has been the NY Strip Steak pizza though the shrimp one came in at a close second. The slices are also pretty large, especially for the price and they do a good job of filling you up. I actually wished the slices were smaller only so that I could try out more choices on a limited stomach! But thats hardly a thing worth complaining about. Its also a NY style pizza that doesn't have think Chicago style crust. The space inside is cramped and its probably better to be eating outside. Good luck finding a spot because they'll most likely be taken by no-good tourists such as myself. Also, fighting the crowds might be a chore for those of you quiet/polite folk. Overall a great place to try for pizza lovers and a spot I want to hit again when I'm back in town.

    OMG! The best pizza ever!!!! I can't go to Sobe without eating here . . . and it has gotten to the point when I've got slices to go to take on the plane ride back to Cali. Disgusting . . . I realize this . . . but it seriously is that good. Even some of my uber health conscious companions will cave in for this place and share a slice with me . . . muhaha ;) And sharing a slice is soooo the way to go. The slices are ginormous: they cut them in to 6 or so smaller square slices and have to overlap 2 plates just to have room for the whole thing ha The toppings are so great . .. . and random . . . you will see options including hard boiled eggs and corn . . . but it just all works so well. (Less adventurous diners fear not, they have the standard pepperoni type options as well.)

    4.5 Stars Pizza Rustica is great for several reasons! First, they're open super late night. So when you are getting out of the club at 4am and you need to sober up for your drive home, you can always count on Pizza Rustica. Plus, they have 2 locations on Washington - 8th and 14th, and one location on Lincoln in between Meridian and Pennsylvania. So wherever you are on the beach, you can have Pizza Rustica! Second, the pizza is delicious!!! I don't know what kind of style it is, but its more like a sicillian than anything else, because its that thick kind of pan pizza. My favorite is the 3 mushrooms, but the chicken florentine is superb! The veggie pizza is excellent, so is this one that has bleu cheese on it! Anything you try will delight your tastes! :)

    I hate spinach and I hate blue cheese but damn, the spinach and blue cheese pizza from rustica is out of control! It may have been that my girlfriend fed it to me after a late nite when we first got together that got me hooked, but really, you MUST try it. This little pizza place is just a few doors down from Score on Lincoln Road and perfect for a post-drunkenness, pre driving treat! Check it out!

    On a Sunday night, avoid like the plague. Lincoln Ave. has an open market on Sundays and the street is overrun with people. And, an inexpensive pizza restaurant is consequently overrun, also. A local sitting next to us assured us that service is never very good at this location, but definitely worse on Sunday. After waiting over 45 minutes (and having to waive down a waitress for a second beer and to ask where our pizza was), we finally received our medium Caprese. It was half cold, half lukewarm. I noticed that a pizza that looked like it had been delivered 2 tables over and waived away as a mistake 10 minutes earlier (at least). I suspect our pizza was misdelivered...then eventually delivered to us. We complained to the waitress about the temp of the pizza and she went and got a manager who asked what would make us happy. I said I didn't want to pay for the pizza. He comped the drinks also and we left. I wouldn't go back on a busy night. Who knows how it is on a quieter evening. There did seem to be a lot of other unhappy customers, however, so...

    After a long day shopping on Lincoln road I kept seeing people walk by with a bright red box or munching on some abnormally large delicious looking pizza. Eventually I walked into Pizza Rustica....i was NOT disappointed. The selection of rectangular pizza slices was quite overwhelming. I settled on the veggie pizza. There were heaping chunks of fresh veggies... broccoli, spinach, peppers, onion. On top of being tasty it was huge! I ate some for dinner and had enough to eat at 4am after a night out dancing in south beach. The only downside is that it took about 15 minutes to get our pizza. It was very crowded and each piece of pizza has to be heated in the oven. However, if that is the price I have to pay for good pizza I can deal with it. I am on a mission t find a Pizza Rusticca in SoCal.

    I visited Miami last AUGUST, and I'm still thinking about Pizza Rustica and its deliciousness. My fellow out-of-towners and I ate Pizza Rustica at least one meal a day... often more, since we had leftovers. I dug the spinach and feta cheese pizza, and I know we ordered a variety but I can't remember which ones exactly. They were all orgasmic.

    Seriously people. I have been to many a pizza joints in my time and this place is awesome. Although Miami wasn't exactly my town (seriously Florida, why do you have to be so damned flat? Do you need god to make you some hills?) this was one of THE highlights of my whole trip. It has several different types of pizza. I had the Chicken Parmesan pizza(fried chicken on a pizza, what more can you ask for?), and my friend had the Caprise which was equally as good. It had a New York style pizza place atmosphere and they have seating outside along the famous Lincoln street. If you're in Miami I would suggest going here, because South Beach is the only place worthwhile to see.

    Pizza Rustica has not charged in 15 years. The pizza is out of this world. This is high praise from a kid from Chicago. Its a square cut tray pizza with all the best ingredients that you can get. I can't pick which pizza is my favorite. Make your own salad( I can't believe I'm even saying this) is unbelievable! This is the first time I had table service at this restaurant, and it's great.
