Want to have the best pizza in the world? Then you will need to head to Caserta, Italy, or New York City, U.S.A. That is at least according to 50 Top Pizza, a famous pizza guide that just released its list of best pizzerias in the world for 2022.
The 50 Top Pizza spent the previous year visiting all numerous pizza joints across the world in hopes of finding out which one makes the best pizza. Unsurprisingly, they couldn’t agree on the best of the best, so there are two pizzerias that are ranked No.1 in this year’s guide. Let’s check out the top five below.
No.1 – I Masanielli (Caserta, Italy)
Owned and run by Francesco Martucci, I Masanielli is described as a “highly-frequented destination for gourmet pizza enthusiasts. “The place is praised for its dough, precise baking, and “interesting combinations of top-quality raw materials. “
No.1 – Una Pizza Napoletana (New York City, U.S.)
If you are not in the mood for flying to Italy for a pizza, you can find the world’s best pizza in New York City as well. Anthony Mangieri’s Una Pizza Napoletana is renowned for its “selection of fresh and quality products, “great service, and mouthwatering take on thick-crust pizza.
