“Finally holding the awards ceremony once again in person was simply fantastic – gush the 50 Top curators Barbara Guerra, Albert Sapere and Luciano Pignataro – It was a momentous occasion full of unity and cohesion for the pizza community on the Old Continent. We were particularly sorry to not have had our Russian and Ukrainian pizza maker friends with us at the event. To them we send a message of encouragement, support and solidarity for the tragic challenges that they are currently facing. We are already ready for our next important date, the presentation of the 2022 USA guide, which will be on June 14th at La Devozione in Chelsea Market in New York.”

In compliance with our policy, they always work under a strict guise of anonymity. The criteria for assessment encompass the overall attention given to the customer beginning, of course, with the quality of the products used.
