50 Top Pizza

The global World list draws on the guide's geographic rankings. Different editions cover different competitive fields, so a regional position is not interchangeable with a global rank. The guide accommodates different pizza styles rather than requiring one tradition. In the September 15, 2026 World results, Napoli on the Road in London ranks first, Una Pizza Napoletana in New York second and Confine in Milan third. Published ties mean the number of establishments can exceed the number of rank positions.

Compare pizzerias through the relevant geographic edition and year, with the original published ranks and ties preserved.

50 Top Pizza is an annually updated guide to pizzerias in Italy and around the world. Its World ranking brings together establishments from geographic guides; it also publishes distinct formats for chains and other categories.

The guiding principles consider pizza and ingredient quality, service and staff knowledge, drinks, cleanliness and the environment. Visits are anonymous and documented with receipts. The guide describes an Italy-specific survey and regional allocation process; those details should not be treated as a universal numeric formula for the World ranking. Its published positions recognize pizzerias rather than isolated dishes or chefs.

For travelers interested in pizza, the guide offers a specialist route to discovering establishments across many traditions and countries. A position is most useful when read with its year, geography and exact venue identity.
