With that clarification established, it's time to spotlight the establishments elevating pizza artistry across Europe. According to the discerning panel of experts behind these esteemed rankings, the continent's leading pizzeria this year is Napoli on the Road, proudly located in the United Kingdom.
"Napoli on the Road transcends the conventional pizzeria, symbolizing a new chapter for Neapolitan pizza in the United Kingdom," the official rankings elaborated. "Under the guidance of the exceptionally talented Michele Pascarella, who was recognized as Europe's top pizza maker in 2023, this venture has transformed the contemporary pizzeria concept. With locations in Chiswick and Richmond, every facet of the experience is meticulously crafted for dynamic evolution. The menu undergoes seasonal revisions every 3 months, reflecting a commitment to fresh, peak-season ingredients and culinary excellence."
The judges further lauded the establishment's exceptional dough, highlighting its capacity to form the perfect foundation for "bold yet balanced flavor combinations" that truly set their pizzas apart.

Sharing the pinnacle of excellence with Napoli on the Road is Baldoria in Madrid, which garnered significant praise for its highly "efficient and friendly" team and its imaginative pizza creations. A standout example is the Bufala Fest, a harmonious blend featuring roasted San Marzano tomato sauce, sweet confit cherry tomatoes, savory Parmesan chips, and vibrant basil pesto.
The third position on the list resulted in a compelling tie between Via Toledo in Vienna, Austria and Sartoria Panatieri in Barcelona, Spain. Via Toledo earned its esteemed ranking primarily due to its unwavering commitment to sourcing "excellent fresh ingredients from Italy." The evaluators also noted that some of their pizzas subtly infuse "a bit of the flavors of Puglia, the region of origin of founders Francesco and Chiara, adding a delightful element of creative distinction." Meanwhile, Sartoria Panatieri received high acclaim not only for its exceptional pizzas but also for its impressive selection of appetizers, an extensive array of craft beers, and its remarkably delicious desserts. "The desserts, unmistakably artisanal, evoke the comforting quality of homemade treats; the blueberry and mascarpone tart, in particular, is an absolute must-try," the rankings declared.
50 Top Pizza clarified that the top 20 pizzerias honored in the European list automatically earn a coveted place in the prestigious 100 Best Pizzerias in the world ranking. These European culinary gems will join elite establishments from diverse regions including Asia-Pacific, the United States, Latin America, and, of course, the foundational pizzerias of Italy.
