“New York has been deemed one of the greatest cities in the world for pizza,” underscore the project curators Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro and Albert Sapere “and it is the city with the most pizzerias in the world, with more than 7000 businesses which serve pizzas. The biggest news this year is the impressive improvement in quality demonstrated by the pizzerias from the city of Portland. California is the state with the most pizzerias. The American pizza Movement is very active right now, with a new generation of artisans who are ever more careful with the quality of their product and their ingredients. It is a trend that has been particularly noticeable over the last year.”
The after party held at La Devozione restaurant served as a dynamic platform for the thriving American pizza community. With almost 200 participants from all corners of the US, this celebratory event not only marked their impressive ranking but also provided a prime opportunity for the community to share ideas.
