New Yorkers always love to brag that they have the best pizza in the country. It's the best pizza in the world, once they really start working up that New York City pride — better than any or wimpy flatbread pizza from a wannabe Italian restaurant. New Yorkers don't need to flaunt 2-3 inches of sauce or low-calorie pies to be happy with their slices.
As long as it's got the right amount of flop, , and the correct ratio of grease to cheese, they're proud to call it "the best." And these days, they have good reason. For the third year in a row, the judges at Italy-based announced in mid-September that Una Pizza Napoletana, located in the Lower East Side of New York City, officially has the best pizza in the world.
While two restaurants in Italy stole second and third place, it's this Orchard Street, New York-style pizzeria that takes the cake (really, the whole pie) for the greatest pizza in any country. Pizza perfection at Una Pizza Napoletana 50 Top Pizza conducts its yearly pizza search by traveling to restaurants across the globe. From Japan to England, New Zealand to Spain, these pizza hunters make their rounds to try a pie from a multitude of pizzerias.
The publication ranks its selections in a comprehensive list of 100 of the best pizza options in the world, of which the United States stole 15 spots. Although a Chicago pizzeria came in at No. 50, and two Miami-based pizzerias claimed spots 45 and 55, six of those top 100 pizzerias are located in New York alone.
It's st.
