You've never had a pizza like the kind they sling at Pizza Rustica. Sure, they serve the staples -- pepperoni, margherita, supreme, and Hawaiian -- but they specialize in gourmet pizzas not found at most joints. Take their Con Vegetable, for instance: eggplant, zucchini, squash, peppers, onions, fresh mozzarella, and garlic on a flaky whole-wheat crust. The New York Steak has to be the highlight: perfectly seasoned ground sirloin, red onions, and roasted peppers held together with mozzarella cheese and sweet tomato sauce. The slice is almost a square foot, so big it's served on two plates. Click here for a list of locations throughout South Florida.

Total cost for an enormous slice and a satisfied stomach: $5.08 with tax.
