The following are the special awards for 50 Top Pizza World 2024:
The Empower Women – Fedegroup Award has gone to Giorgia Caporuscio from Don Antonio in New York, for the following reason: “For having inspired female pizza makers all over the world, because making pizza has never been culturally considered to be the work of women; the fact that it has always been this way does not mean that it is right or that it should always be this way. Change does not happen on its own”.
