There are 15 different countries that constitute the Asia-Pacific area. The most represented country this year is Japan, with 14 venues in our ranking. It is followed by Australia with 10 and Thailand with 5. India, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Israel all made the list for the first time this year. Tokyo is the undisputed capital of quality pizza in this area with no less than 10 pizzerias in our guide.

It was our honor to have His Excellency Gianluigi Benedetti, the Italian Ambassador to Japan, open the awards ceremony. Ambassador Gianluigi Benedetti expresses his satisfaction with the event: “50 Top Pizza is not only a ranking chart or an online guide: it is, above all, the recognition of the profound commitment to the dissemination of the true art of pizza-making all over the globe. This art, that is made up of manual skills, precise leavening and baking times, and the use of simple but superior quality raw materials – flour, EVO oil, yeast, salt, tomato and mozzarella – is proving to be able to express itself, authentically, even tens of thousands of kilometers far from our country. This heritage – which is an expression of our “Made in Italy” – must be protected, enhanced and promoted, and I am pleased to say that the awarding of this prize, 50 Top Pizza, contributes to this objective”.

“The pizza sector in the Asia-Pacific area is undergoing a maturation process,” underscore the curators Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro and Albert Sapere, “and it is for this reason that we strove to organize the presentation in Tokyo. It is one of the greatest pizza capitals in the world.  We are happy to have presented such a varied and well-balanced final classification. The pizza is good, actually it is excellent in the Asia-Pacific area, and this is an amazing fact that we are happy to reconfirm year after year.”

The top 15 pizzerias in the 2023 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific ranking enter by right into the 100 Best Pizzerias in the World, which will meet again at the Palazzo Reale in Naples on September 13th.

The next 50 Top Pizza event will be on June 27th in New York when we will reveal the best pizzerias in the United States of America for 2023.
