Piccolo Buco by Coopers Hawk

Cooper's Hawk's founder ate his way through Italy, found the original Piccolo Buco in Rome, and decided Tampa needed this version. The crust is hand-stretched with Italian-imported flour, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil—the kind of obsessive simplicity that actually matters. If you care about pizza architecture and want wine poured by someone who knows Tuscan blends, this is the move.

Friday or Saturday evening, when the wine program is in full swing and the kitchen's rhythm is tightest. The Gusti Bar rotates eight wines on theme—go early enough to try multiple pours before committing to a bottle.

Skip the menu hunt and ask the bartender what's rotating on the Gusti Bar this week. The wine program starts in Italy and the staff actually knows why each bottle is there.
