The entire guide USA 2025, which also includes the “Excellent Pizzerias” section, includes 99 pizzerias. The most represented city in the guide is New York with 20 pizzerias, followed by Chicago and Portland with 6 pizzerias each.
“Year after year we are noticing changes in pizzerias across the United States – say the three curators of 50 Top Pizza, Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro and Albert Sapere – that have led to increasingly interesting ideas and that are good for the entire industry. We would also like to mention that the different styles of pizza that our inspectors get to enjoy are also getting more mumerous, this is a good thing because it creates a wider variety for the customer”.
The event ended at La Devozione NYC with an informal party that welcomed guests from all over the United States.
The top 12 positions in the 50 Top Pizza USA 2025 ranking along with the top 3 positions in the 50 Top Pizza Slice USA 2025 ranking will automatically be included in the 100 Best Pizzerias in the World ranking. The winners will gather at the Teatro Mercadante in Naples on September 8th, for the 50 Top Pizza World 2025 awards ceremony.
