From Neapolitan-style rounds to classic\u00a0dollar slices<\/a>, New Yorkers take pizza very seriously. And, thankfully, so do the folks over at the Best Pizza Awards, a\u00a0Europe-based awards body founded in 2015 by a Polish neuroscientist and an Italian gastronomist, which celebrates the “sacred” art of pizza-making\u00a0and recognizes the world’s top pizza chefs. <\/p>\n

Back for the third year, the 2025 awards ceremony took place yesterday, June 25 in Milan, Italy, with a\u00a0global voting panel of 512 experts from 60 countries to “ensure transparency and eliminate commercial influence.” And proving that said panel has exceptionally good taste, those ‘za experts highlighted six New York pizza joints as some of the best in the world.<\/p>\n

L\u2019Industrie’s Massimo Laveglia was also singled out for a special award, for those who\u00a0have excelled in specific areas of the craft: “The Best Street Pizza” in the world. Other specialty winners include\u00a0Isabella De Cham for “The Best Fried Pizza,”\u00a0Ciccio Vitiello for “The Best Science Pizza” and\u00a0Pier Daniele Seu for “The Best Pastry Pizza,” all hailing from Italy.<\/p>\n

“This year\u2019s The Best Pizza Awards has captured the true spirit of pizza: timeless, yet constantly evolving; deeply rooted in tradition, yet always open to new ideas and innovations. Milan provided the perfect backdrop for this global celebration, a city that, like pizza itself, blends history and modernity at every turn,” said Cristian Gadau, CEO of The Best Pizza Awards and The Best Chef Awards. “To witness the passion, dedication, and artistry of so many talented pizzaiolos gathered together has been profoundly inspiring. I am immensely proud of what our community continues to achieve and how these awards give a platform to those shaping the future of pizza worldwide.”<\/p>\n
