Last year, New York's own Una Pizza Napoletana was crowned best pizzeria in the whole world by 50 Top Pizza, an online guide focusing on the top parlors of the sort across the globe.
This year, unfortunately, the Orchard Street destination lost a bit of steam in the race and landed at the number two spot, with Southern Italy shop I Masanielli and 10 Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria in Naples co-claiming the top prize.
But this is no reason to despair, New Yorkers. It’s all about framing, after all: we live in the city that is home to what is being called the second-best pizza parlor in the world and we have a wealth of incredible pizza spots across the city. How deliciously cool is that?
But there's more: alongside Naples and Rome, which are obvious pizza staples, New York is the most represented city in the ranking, boasting a total of five pizzerias on the list, including Ribalta (number 22 on the list), Song' E Napule (number 33 on the list), Kesté (number 72 on the list) and Ops (number 92 on the list).
During the ceremony, which was held earlier this week at the beautiful Teatro di Corte di Palazzo Reale in Naples, officials also honored Ribalta in downtown New York with the best pasta proposal award (if you've never eaten there, we urge you to go immediately).
Clearly one of (if not the) best pizza places in NYC, we expect Una Pizza Napoletana to be pretty busy in the upcoming months—so make sure to get a reservation ASAP.
