2 Florida Pizzerias Ranked Among the World’s Best

There are so many great places to enjoy a pizza, but 2 Florida pizzerias have been ranked among the world's best.

When it comes to pizza, I don't think I've ever met someone who doesn't like it. I'm from Chicago, so I feel like I was born with a love for it. Give me a thin crust, a deep dish- I'm all over it. And it's not just Chicago-style pizza I get down on. I enjoy a New York slice and Detroit-style too. There's just so many ways to customize it from a simple cheese pizza, to something more fancy with arugula and prosciutto. My favorite would have to be a sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, onion, green pepper. All this talk of pizza is making me hungry!

I have my go-to's here in Southwest Florida, but it looks like I'll have to hit the road because 2 Florida pizzerias have been ranked among the world's best.

Living here in Fort Myers we have plenty of good pizza joints, but it looks like Miami is where we'll have to go to enjoy some of the very best in the world. 50 Top Pizza just released their guide to the best pizzerias in the world and both spots in Florida that made the list are in Miami.

Coming in at #45 on the list is La Leggenda known for their for its Pizza Napoletana and gluten-free pizza dough.

At #55 on the list of the world's best is ‘O Munaciello. They say their pizza has a true “authentic Neapolitan taste,” with “dough that rises 48 hours, the best Italian products, and wood-fired oven.

Typically, when I share food and drink pairings, they involve wine. But not this time. I'm taking you to the Kevin Hart tequila dinner in Naples. It was so good that the event is also this week's Fabulous Find for more than one reason.

Comedian Kevin Hart has a tequila brand called Gran Coramino. To craft this premium spirit he teamed up with 11th generation tequila maker Juan Domingo Beckmann. Beckmann is also the CEO of Jose Cuervo so he knows a little bit about the Mexican spirit.

Gran Coramino Tequila is served at Rocco's Tacos in Naples. The colorful restaurant is known for having a great selection and they like to showcase it in a variety of ways including wine dinners. They invited me to their latest and it was so impressive that I have to share it so you can book a seat at the next one.

This was a true collaboration between the beverage and culinary teams. The welcome cocktail featured Gran Coramino Cristalino. It is a clear reposado that is finished in California Cabernet wine casks before getting filtered.

All of Hart's tequila's have a wine barrel connection as an homage to the state he calls home and its reputation for world-class wine. During this dinner, each of the tequilas was poured neat so we could really taste its unique flavors. In addition, they were served in a cocktail with ingredients that complimented the food courses.

Sure, we began with Rocco's famous guacamole and chips. But the courses to follow were gourmet all the way. Each one also incorporated tequila in marinades or sauces.

The tequila is a Fabulous Find and so are the wine dinners. As I'm publishing this, Rocco's Tacos has not announced the next one. Be sure to check their website and sign up for any communications to keep up to date on dinners, future tequila tastings and educational events. It was a ton of tasty fun.

In the meantime, look for this tequila. It's a good buy.

By the way, there were hopes and even rumors he would make a cameo at the fiesta. However, the superstar's schedule did not permit. Maybe next time.

Gran Coramino has three premium tequilas in the lineup. They are all available at Rocco's Tacos and in the world of retail. They are also good value for their quiality.

The Grand Hibiscus was our reception cocktail. It was made with Cristalino which had sweet berry notes. It was perfect with the hibuscus on a hot day. Also nice with the house made guacamole, salty chips and watermelon salad for the first course at Rocco's Tacos in Naples.

This watermelon salad had baby arugula, radish, crumbled feta and mint. It was paired with Cristalino Reposado. Both had lots of fresh flavors, perfect for SWFL

Reposado was the second course. The tequila was smooth, had some vanilla and was infused with a little jalapeno for this cocktail. It also had some sweet pineapple to balance the heat and was fantaistic with the Wahoo Ceviche.

Second course was a spicy Wahoo Ceviche that melted in your mouth. The thin slices were topped iwth pickled waterelon radish, serrano peppers and cucumber. It was served with a Gran Coramino Reposado cocktail that was equally as spicy.

This filet was so tender you could literally cut it with a fork. It was served with goat cheese potatoes, and grilled asparagus. The au poivre sauce was made with tequila instead of cognac and it was out of this world.

This combo was a table favorite. Brown Sugar pudding with the Gran Coramino Anejo. The tequila cocktail featured the anejo which had beautifl notes of coffe, dark chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla. The cocktail itself was reminiscent of an expresso martini and went down way too easy for all of us.

Rocco's Tacos at Mercato in North Naples is colorful and fun. The art and decor is big, bold and over the top. Just like some of the flavors in the food and cocktails paired together at our Gran Coramino Tequila dinner.
