The world's best pizzas may not be found where you think. Italy is the obvious place to go looking for the perfect margherita. But to sample the cream of the crop, pizza fans will need to head to the USA, where the world's finest pizza can be found in New York, at Anthony Mangieri's Una Pizza Napoletana restaurant located on the Lower East Side. 

Indeed, the pizza-maker has now taken the top spot in 50 Top Pizza's 2024 global ranking, considered to be the most influential on this particular subject. Nevertheless, according to the anonymous inspectors who determine the results, you're still more likely to find a good pizza in Italy than in the USA. No fewer than 41 Italian establishments are cited in this ranking, compared to 15 American eateries.
