In brief
A new global ranking moves the pizza crown out of Naples and New York and hands it to a London pizzeria. Napoli on the Road in London is the world's best pizzeria for 2026, taking the title from New York's Una Pizza Napoletana. Originally reported by Robb Report.
Pizza has a new capital
The best pie on the planet isn't in Naples or New York anymore. To eat it, you now have to go to London.
“The pizza capital of the world is no longer in Naples and it isn't in New York.”
The ranking behind the call
50 Top Pizza, a global group, announced its yearly list of the world's 100 best pizzerias in Rome on September 15, 2026.
A two-year champion slips
Anthony Mangieri's Una Pizza Napoletana in New York won the top spot two years in a row. This year it dropped to No. 2.
Fifth place to first
Napoli on the Road in London was fifth last year. In 2026 it climbed all the way to No. 1.
What it means for pizza lovers
The top two are now split between London and New York, and Naples holds neither spot. Plan your pizza trip around that.
“To get the best pie on the planet, you'll have to head to London.”
The essence
Napoli on the Road in London is the world's best pizzeria for 2026, taking the title from New York's Una Pizza Napoletana.
