Where Can You Eat the Best Pizza in the World?


Think you already know where to find the world’s best pizza? Check out our late holiday deals for discounts on flights and your hotel.

UNESCO has declared the art of making pizza an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Whatever you might think of that, pizza is certainly one of the (if not THE) most widely appealing foods in the world. Whether you’re eating it with your hands or cutlery, grabbing a takeaway with friends or heading to a fancy restaurant on a nervous first date, everyone can find a pizza they enjoy. There are countless local pizzerias out there claiming they make the best pizza in the world, but, like Highlander, there can be only one! A favourite pizza is a matter of subjective taste, but to help you narrow down your search, here are some of the most award-winning and celebrated pizzerias and pizza makers (pizzaiolos) from around the globe.

Fiamme Pizza | Tucson, Arizona, USA

Move over deep-pan Chicago pizzas. New York style thin crust? Forget about it…

Fiamme Pizza is an authentic pizzeria in Tucson, Arizona, that prides itself on making delicious pizzas using Italian-sourced ingredients and a classic wood-fire oven. But you don’t want to visit this pie-making parlour just for its delicious slices. Founder Scott Volpe is one of the world’s best culinary acrobats and first place winner for freestyle pizza acrobats at the Pizza World Championship.

If you like dinner with a show, there is no finer establishment for the best pizza in the world.

Rossovivo | Dubai, UAE

Dubai has a well-deserved reputation of offering the biggest and the best of everything. From the world’s tallest building to the fastest police car service (their fleet includes a Bugatti Veyron). While it might lack the best pizza in the world, Rossovivo is a serious contender. This metropolitan city has a healthy population of Italians and a healthy number praise the Rossovivo pizzas for their authentic taste.

It may not be the best pizza in the world, but Rossovivo is the winner of the Trofeo Caputo award, meaning it is the best Italian in the UAE.

Bӕst | Copenhagen, Denmark

When it comes to the best home-cooked, family-style, organic pizza, look no further than Bӕst. The pizzeria is attached to a farm which produces its own mozzarella from milk sourced from their own cows. They also buy all meat and flour locally.

In fact, only one thing is imported: their custom-built woodfire oven, made in the home of pizza…Naples!

Kytaly | Hong Kong, China

Asia is probably the continent least celebrated for its pizzas, but a fancy bar-lounge-restaurant in the heart of Hong Kong may be about to change that. Kytaly also happens to be a pizzeria, and its award-winning pizzaiolo, Franco Pepe, has helped craft pizzas which have been voted the best in the world by two renowned pizza experts: Where To Eat Pizza; and 50 Top Pizza.

Dalle Figlie Di Iorio | Naples, Italy

In 2019, for the first time in the competition’s 18-year history, a woman, Teresa Iorio, won the coveted prize for best pizza maker in the traditional Neapolitan style.

And, as you’d expect, Teresa runs her own restaurant, in Naples no less, alongside her all-female staff, using recipes and techniques that have been in her family of pizzaiolos for generations. Pizza doesn’t get more traditional and authentic than this!

Pizzeria Antonio Mezzero | Porto, Portugal

However, the prize for best Neapolitan Margherita is a contentious one, with another distinguished Italian pizza award, the Caputo Trophy, selecting the Antonio Mezzero Pizzeria as the best maker in the world. The pizzeria is based in the beautiful city of Porto, in a district called Matosinhos, and while Antonio is clearly extremely talented when it comes to making the simplest pizza in the world, he is a local favourite for his gastronomic creations.
