The 50 Top Pizza have spoken, and they have taken the gold from Barcelona… to leave a wonderful silver. One of the world’s leading competitions to choose the best pizzas on the planet was held yesterday in Madrid in the middle of Pizza Week, and chose a pizza from Barcelona as the second best pizza in Europe.
This is Sartoria Panatieri, a pizzeria that is constantly accumulating awards and that last year it won the award for the best pizza in Europe. This year the pizzeria of Jorge Sastre and Rafa Panatieri does not fall from the throne, but gives up the first place to be the second best pizza in Europe. In addition to this award, Sartoria Panatieri, together with MO de Movimiento, has been awarded the Green Oven 2024 – Goeldlin.
It does so in favor of Napoli on the Road, a London pizzeria run by Michele Pascarella, who already won the award for best pizza maker in the world 2023, and who this year rises to the top position.
Third place goes to Via Toledo Enopizzeria, Vienna, from pizzaiolo Francesco Calò, who also wins the award for best pizza of the year with his Pizza de Nero.
