As it does every year,the ’50 Top Pizza’ guide has published its list of the 100 Best Pizzerias in the World 2024. And if last year Barcelona rose to the world pizza Olympus, with Sartoria Panatieri as the fourth best pizzeria in the world this year, this year the listing has also set its sights on Barcelona.
And it has done so with the same pizzerias that already appeared on the list last year, with slight changes. Sartoria Panatieri has moved to number 8, while La Balmesina, which last year appeared in the #50 position, this year barely moves and is in the 51st position..
The podium of the best pizzerias of 2024 is made up of Una Pizza Napoletana in New York has been named the best pizzeria in the world. It is followed by Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria in Naples, Italy, in second place, and I Masanielli in Caserta, Italy, in third place.
What pizza to order at the two best pizzerias in Barcelona?
We’ve talked a lot about Sartoria Panatieri. The one that also won the award for best pizzeria in Europe in 2023 (and won second place this 2024) is a Barcelona luxury.
On their list they always have signature pizzas, but the 50 top pizza highlights their classic:the pizza topped with stracciatella di burrata, tomatoes and basil pesto with toasted pine nuts, and they say of it that “the pizza itself is a perfect display of flavor, pleasure and balance.”
We have also talked a lot about Balmesina. One of the first places that elevated the pizza in Barcelona to a dish of haute cuisine. From its menu Max, owner of this pizzeria (and of Gina Balmesina), highlights the pizzas…….
For their part, the 50 Top Pizza highlights the Giana, a vegetarian pizza with tomato, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, fried eggplant and Parmesan, of which they also highlight its crispy dough, an essential of all Balmesina pizzas.
