The World’s Best Pizzeria Has Landed in Wynwood

This Week in Miami Jan 19-25Francesco Martucci, the force behind Italy’s I Masanielli and current World’s Best Pizzaiolo, has officially opened his first U.S. outpost in Wynwood. This is pizza treated like a tasting menu: ultra-light, long-fermented dough with a crisp, smoky shell and a pillowy center, topped with Campanian buffalo mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, and seasonal Florida produce. Expect both refined classics and left-field creations like a seven-variation onion pie. It’s thoughtful, technical, and unapologetically serious—Miami just leveled up its pizza game.

Francesco Martucci Miami is located at 10 NE 27th St., Miami, FL 33137. For more information, visit their official website.

Tacombi and Michelin-Starred Tatemó Popup

Michelin-starred Tatemó is teaming up with Tacombi to drop slow-roasted barbacoa tacos that actually deserve the hype. Think prime top round beef from Pat LaFrieda, marinated with hoja santa, avocado leaf, chile mulato, árbol, and a hit of mushroom powder for deep umami, finished with a charred habanero salsa and rich beef consomé. It kicks off with a one-night-only pop-up at Tacombi Brickell on January 20 (Chef Emmanuel on the grill, DJ on deck), then rolls out to all locations January 21. $7.49 each. Don’t overthink it—just go.

Tacombi Brickell is located at 69 SW 7th St., Miami, FL 33130. For more information, visit their official website.

National Fish Taco Day at The Lobster Shack

National Fish Taco Day calls for a beachside classic, and The Lobster Shack delivers without trying too hard. Just steps from the sand, this family-run spot does fish tacos the way Miami likes them. The fish taco comes piled into a warm corn tortilla with jalapeño slaw, pico, avocado, and their house sauce—simple, punchy, and gone far too fast. Stay for a second round, maybe a seared tuna taco, and let the Atlantic-heavy menu do the rest.

International Food Fest

Passport optional. The International Food Fest lands in Miami on January 25 with a polished, globe-trotting lineup that skips the clichés and goes straight for flavor. Expect a tight edit of international vendors serving standout bites—from spice-driven plates to Mediterranean richness and Latin sweetness—inside a sleek, daytime setting. General admission covers a generous tasting circuit, while VIP ups the ante with elevated bites and premium cocktails. It’s four hours of well-curated indulgence, designed for people who like their food festivals refined, not chaotic.
