Be it at lunch or dinner, with friends in a restaurant, or at home with a takeaway, there’s no bad time to eat pizza. And no one knows that better than the Top 50 Pizza Awards.

London’s Napoli on the Road has been named the best pizzeria in Europe for 2025, according to the highly-regarded 50 Top Pizza guide.

Baldoria in Madrid came second on 50 Top Pizza’s ranking. Its signature Búfala Fest pizza featured on our own list, with Time Out Madrid’s editor Gorka Elorrieta calling it ‘a delightful surprise for cheese lovers’.

In third place was a tie between Sartoria Panatieri in Barcelona and Via Toledo in Vienna – though the most represented city overall was none other than Paris.

The rest of the prestigious list features a mix of established and rising stars. London scores another win with 50 Kalò, owned by Ciro Salvo, coming in fourth. Madrid’s Baldoria, owned by Ciro Cristiano, follows closely in fifth place, also bagging the award for best pasta dish.

Pizza Nuova in Prague ranks #27:

“Not only the oven but also the classic Neapolitan style of the pizzas is certified by the establishment’s membership to the Associazione Verace Pizza Napolitana. The pizza is the focal point around which a varied gastronomic offer rotates, from the pasta to the salads, to the ice-creams. All of them are icons of Italian cuisine,” says 50 Top Pizza.

Spain is confirmed as the best-represented country in the guide, followed by France and Germany. The first 20 pizzerias on the ’50 Top Pizza Europe’ list will automatically qualify for the ranking of the 100 best pizzerias in the world.

Given that there are some 63,000 pizzerias in Italy alone, the website states that no Italian restaurant was included on the list. The list is based on a survey that was carried out after an anonymous judging visit.

Three Pizzerias Also Make the ‘Excellent’ List

Three Prague pizzerias—Da Pietro, Sasy the Original, and Slice Slice Baby—earned a spot in the “Excellent Pizzerias” section.

Although not ranked in the official top 50, their inclusion in this curated list signals outstanding quality, authentic recipes, and a strong reputation among pizza lovers.
