The 2025 edition of the Italy guide by 50 Top Pizza consists of 518 pizzerias. Campania is the most represented region with its 100 pizzerias, followed by Lazio with 57, and Lombardy with 41. Among the top 100, the most represented city is Rome with 9 pizzerias, followed by Naples with 8, and Milan with 5.

“The world of pizza continues to transform and evolve in different directions – say the three curators of 50 Top Pizza, Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro, and Albert Sapere with the quality that is constantly increasing and a new generation of pizza makers who are able to introduce new concepts and formats. The Neapolitan pizza remains the most beloved by the public throughout Italy, even though new styles and typologies are emerging, including those from abroad, such as the New York style pizza”.

The NYX Hotel Milan welcomed guests from all over Italy for the closing party, curated down to the smallest detail by the Fedegroup team. The event not only celebrated this prestigious ranking, but it also provided the vibrant Italian pizza community with an excellent opportunity to share ideas and insights.

The top 40 positions in the 50 Top Pizza Italia 2025 ranking automatically enter 50 Top Pizza World 2025, the ranking of the 100 Best Pizzerias in the World, which will gather at the Teatro Mercadante in Naples on September 8th for the grand awards ceremony.
