The list of the best pizzerias in Italy, according to Gambero Rosso 2021

This list is based on a number of factors that Gambero Rosso has sought out in Italian pizzerias: truth and consistency. Starting with what is written on the menu, which must then correspond to what arrives on the customers’ plates, respecting the recipe, but even more so with respect to the origin and quality of the raw material.
As Gambero Rosso said “at the top of lis are confirmed those masters who began to write the history of Italian pizza more than ten years ago and who continue their concentrated path, without waving any other flag than that of quality and commitment”. In addition to drawing up a general list, Gambero Rosso also give other awards:

  • The award for the pizzeria with the best up-and-coming pizza chef goes to Sabrina Bianco from pizzeria Borgo Rosso di Sera in Sal Lucido (Cosenza)
  • The pizza of the year award, and the Masters of Dough goes to Simone Lombardi from Crosta Milano and Francesco Martucci from Masanielli in Caserta.
  • Pizza of the Year, Tasting Pizza category: Da Ezio, Alano Di Piave (Belluno) with pizza “Rivoluzione Vegetale”
  • Pizza of the Year, Neapolitan Pizza category: Villa Giovanna, Ottaviano (Naples) with pizza “Fil. Felice”
  • Pizza of the Year, Italian Pizza category: Chicco, Colle Val d’Elsa (Siena) with pizza “Marinara all’Aglione”
  • Pizza of the Year, Category Pizza a Taglio: Tellia, Torino with pizza “Polpo”
  • Pizza of the Year, Sweet Pizza Category: Pepe In Grani, Caiazzo (Caserta) with pizza “Pastiera fritta”

Gambero Rosso wanted, with the awards given in 2021, to send a strong message to Italians during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. A message that speaks of Italy and good pizza, which does not give up and makes great strides.
