  10. A wood-fired oven anchors the room at this Caguas pizzeria, visible the moment you walk in and very much the point. The dough ferments for 72 hours, and the menu folds Caribbean flavors into the result, guava and plantains alongside more familiar toppings. The cocktail bar is serious enough to pull equal weight with the kitchen. It landed on 50 Top Pizza Latin America, which for a Caribbean island is a flex Puerto Rico seems happy to own.
