Master Critic Review
Fradiavolo
8.4
Italy's Top 25-ranked pizzeria chain planted its first U.S. flag in Wynwood in late 2024, importing dough made with mineral-rich Italian water and offering four crust styles including a striking charcoal-infused black option. The blistered, airy crusts earn their reputation—particularly on the La Diva with prosciutto, burrata, and fig jam—though the operation's newness means the kitchen is still finding its footing with consistency during peak hours. Vintage Italian furniture, stacked records, and decorative bikes create a casual-cool space that matches the playful 'Eat Pizza. Make Love' tagline without trying too hard. Come here when you want legitimately excellent Neapolitan pizza without the pretense of a tasting-menu experience.
Must-Try Dishes:
La Diva (Prosciutto, Burrata & Fig Jam), Margherita with Fiordilatte, Mortazza Tua (Pistachio Mortadella & Burrata)
