“The pizza movement is also in great upheaval in this part of the world – stated the three curators of the guide: Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro and Albert Sapere – with Australia that in recent years has made significant steps forward in terms of quality and with Singapore and Hong Kong as emerging destinations. The entire Asian continent is experiencing a period of growth in this sector and this fact presents an opportunity for Italian gastronomic culture. It was our wish to dedicate the Asia – Pacific 2025 ceremony to Margarita Forés, who passed away last February 11th. She was a true icon of Italian quality food abroad, who in recent years had made a significant contribution to the world of pizza”.
The next appointment with 50 Top Pizza is set for April 10th which will be broadcast live from Rio de Janeiro, to discover the best pizzerias in Latin America for the year 2025.
