October is officially National Pizza Month, and New York City just received the ultimate reason to celebrate.
The prestigious, Italy-based 50 Top Pizza 2026 guide revealed its official world rankings at a ceremony in Naples.
While London’s Napoli on the Road snatched the top spot on the planet, New York City proved once again why it remains the undisputed capital of pizza.
A bittersweet crown for National Pizza Month
After holding the title of world’s best pizzeria for two consecutive years, Una Pizza Napoletana moved to the #2 spot globally.
While losing the global crown to London might sting a little, landing second place on Earth is still a massive triumph.

Still the undisputed #1 in America
Even with the global shakeup, Una Pizza Napoletana remains the #1 pizzeria in the United States.
Founder Anthony Mangieri continues his legendary, hands-on approach at his Lower East Side restaurant.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the shop still relies on Mangieri himself to hand-shape and bake every single wood-fired dough ball served.
