The first 100 in the ranking and others are classified as “Excellent Pizzerias.” The top 40 positions will enter by right into the list of the 100 Best Pizzerias in the World which will be announced at a ceremony in Naples at the Palazzo Reale on September 13th.
"It has been an exciting and very intense year for us,” declare the curators Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro and Albert Sapere “first in Barcelona for the European guide, then Tokyo for the Asia-Pacific guide, then New York for the USA guide: it has been a journey full of emotion for the great worldwide pizza community. Now we are in Rome for the first time for the Italian final. This has come about thanks to the wishes of the Roman Capital and Alessandro Onorato, Commissioner for Events, Sport, Tourism and Fashion. Mr. Onorato was convinced of the boost to tourism that pizza and the eno-gastronomic sector in general could bring to the capital city. It has been a non-stop year, which is far from over, as now we prepare for the grand finale at the Palazzo Reale in Naples on September 13th when we will reveal the top 100 pizzerias in the world.”
The “Party After Prize,” held at the Teatro India, welcomed almost 500 guests from around the Italian peninsula. Not only did the event celebrate this prestigious ranking, but it also provided an opportunity for the Italian pizza community to exchange ideas and impressions.
