The World's Greatest Pizza Maker Has Opened in Wynwood
Who needs cheese when you have tomato cream and onion gelatin?
It seems like at least once a month the “best pizza maker in the world” decides to open a spot in Miami. Amazing, that many people can be the best pizza maker in the world, but who are we to argue with Italian hyperbole? This week’s prime pizzaiolo, Francesco Martucci, has a little more weight behind him, helming last year’s #1 pizzeria in the world I Mananielli in Caserta. His new self-named spot takes over one of Wynwood’s great white elephant restaurant spaces, and seems primed to break the wood-fired curse.
Martucci calls himself a “pizza disruptor.” And though we were previously unaware pizza was something that needed disrupting, the man known as “The Bear” is indeed offering something different from the glut of “we even import our lightbulbs from Italy!” pizza places, and opens today.
So how is this different than the 700 other pizza spots that have opened in the last year?
The crust is the big differentiator, a thicker, butterier take that seems…
