“A pizza community, that of Latin America, that continues to grow in quality – declare the curators of the guide Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro and Albert Sapere –. Brazil remains a point of reference for the South American Continent but there are also many other emerging realities in many of the different states here that are doing really well; from Chile to Argentina, from Uruguay to Peru. We would like to thank the Istituto Italiano di Cultura of Rio de Janeiro, for the warm welcome, and Bráz Pizzaria that hosted our party”.
The next appointment with 50 Top Pizza is set for June 4th, and it’s going to be broadcast live from Madrid. There, we are going to discover which will be the best pizzerias in Europe (excluding Italy) for the year 2025.
