There are those who swear by the pizza from the “village bistro” whose owners have never heard of TikTok. Then there are those who line up outside the trendy establishment in town to eat the best pizza according to local influencers.

And then there are those who are looking for a more or less objective assessment. They will find what they are looking for in the 50 Top Pizza. Every year, experts choose the 50 best European pizzerias.

And be careful, this is not an exercise taken lightly. Since pizza is a religion for some, restaurants are evaluated based on seven characteristics:

The top 10 best pizzerias in Europe*

Aside before we begin: Don’t look for Italian restaurants in this ranking. While Italy is part of the world ranking, the 50 Top Pizza for Europe is not.

Napoli on the Road – London

It is not in Italy, but in London that you can taste the supposedly best pizza in Europe. At Napoli on the Road, chef Michele Pascarella concocts Neapolitan pizzas with a “modern touch”. According to pizza experts, these convince with their fermented dough, a “strong crust”, high-quality ingredients and a texture “that goes over the tongue”. In addition, the pizzas are said to be very digestible.

Sartoria Panatieri – Barcelona

A little further south, in Barcelona, ​​you will find the second best pizza in Europe. Rafa Panatieri and Jorge Sastre focus on “farm to table” and use, according to their own words, only hand-selected products. They owe their good rating not only to the excellent taste of their pizzas, but also to the welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant and the warm hospitality of the staff.

Via Toledo Enopizzeria – Vienna

If you want your pizza served with a touch of luxury, Francesco Calò is the right place in Vienna. His restaurant is an elegant mix of Belle Epoque and Neapolitan ambiance. We particularly recommend the La Mano tasting trip, where the pizza pieces are presented on a hand-shaped plate.

50 Kalò – London

The fourth best pizza restaurant in Europe is once again in London. The name 50 Kalò, which roughly translates to “good dough”, says it all. Here too, you’ll find Neapolitan pizzas with soft, fluffy dough edges.

Baldoria – Madrid

The colorful and welcoming interior of Baldoria in Madrid is already a pleasure to see. But the pizzas served on the colorful plates are also very convincing, according to the Top 50 Pizza. The Marinara, in particular, is praised in glowing terms: with just the right amount of tomatoes and oregano, it is “perfect.”

Pizza Zulu – Fürth

Pizza Zulu in Fürth is a return to the colors and aromas of the Neapolitan alleys, but in Germany. Customers eat in a spacious dining room with visible ovens and attentive staff. Moreover, despite the establishment’s great popularity, there is never a long wait.

Imperfection – Puteaux

This pizzeria is on everyone’s lips in Île-de-France, near Paris. The menu offers a wide selection of traditional and creative pizzas. Among the latter, we find for example the Tributo topped with broccoli pesto, fior di latte, stracciatella, anchovies and taggiasca olives – an absolute must according to 50 Top Pizza.

Nnea – Amsterdam

An intimate atmosphere, minimalist design, an open view of the oven – that’s what makes Nnea in Amsterdam so strong. Of course, the taste experience is also convincing: thin, soft and perfectly baked. The menu is classic and straightforward and offers only nine types of pizza with carefully selected ingredients.

La Balmesina – Barcelona

La Balmesina is always full, whether at lunchtime or in the evening. Its exceptional dough recipe has made the pizzeria famous: for this, the restaurant uses only wholemeal flour and lets it ferment for at least 72 hours with a biga starter. The result is clearly very good and the quality has not diminished despite the number of visitors.

Fratelli Figurato – Madrid

It may seem irritating that a pizzeria that serves fries and sausages as toppings is in the top ten of the best pizzerias on an entire continent. But it is clear that a visit to the Figurato brothers is worth it. According to 50 Top Pizza, the owners have redefined Neapolitan pizza in Madrid. With a young atmosphere, quality ingredients and excellent service, this pizzeria is a must.

Ranking of the best pizzerias in Switzerland

Da Pone – Zurich

There are also good pizzas in our little Switzerland. One of them has managed to climb into the ranking. It is called Da Pone and it is located in Zurich where the Neapolitan Francesco Pone enchants customers with his know-how. He is said to have learned the trade from one of the best pizza makers in Naples, which earned him the 42nd place in the rankingSituated directly on the banks of the Limmat, the establishment that once housed the San Gennaro invites you to relax.

Kytaly – Geneva

Half bar, half pizzeria, this is the concept of the second Swiss establishment in the ranking, ranked 43rd. Located just steps from the banking district, the restaurant offers pizzas inspired by award-winning pizzaiolo Franco Pepe.
