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 2024, according to the highly-regarded 50 Top Pizza guide.

Sartoria Panatieri in Barcelona, led by Rafa Panatieri and Jorge Sastre, nabs the runner-up position. Interestingly, they held the top spot in 2023.

Rounding out the top three is Via Toledo Enopizzeria in Vienna, helmed by Francesco Calò. Calò also took home the award for Pizza of the Year with his innovative “pizza de nero” creation.

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 #34:

“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.

The gala for this ranking will be held on 10 September at the Teatro Mercadante in Naples.

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.
