There are two kinds of people in the world – people who love pizza, and people who are kidding themselves. And while the margherita is an absolute classic, a base and toppings is a blank canvas which restaurants all over the planet have transformed into their own lip-smacking and unique creations.
Top 50 Pizza has just announced its list of Europe’s most outstanding pizza restaurants, and from Amsterdam to Bratislava, Vienna to Lisbon, it features plenty of variety.
A restaurant in London claimed the top spot, for no less than the third consecutive year. Napoli on the Road, founded by chef and Maddaloni (a town near Naples) native Michele Pascarella, has expanded from a humble pizza truck into three different restaurants across the city.
Second place went to Baldoria, a pizzeria in Madrid which rustles up a pie known as the Búfala Fest that featured on ’s own list of the planet’s best pizzas and was described by our food and drink editor in the Spanish capital as a ‘year-round staple’.
Third place went to IMperfetto in France’s Puteaux, and the top five was rounded out by more spots in the UK and Spain.
Wondering why Italy hasn’t featured? Well, it won’t shock you to learn that there are so many pizzerias in the motherland worthy of attention that Top 50 Pizza actually has a separate ranking for the country.
