50 Top Pizza USA 2026: Una Pizza Napoletana Named Best Pizzeria in the USA
Anthony Mangieri’s Una Pizza Napoletana in New York has been named the best pizzeria in the United States for 2026. The announcement was made by 50 Top Pizza, a globally influential industry guide, during a ceremony at the Morris W. And Fannie B. Haft theatre in New York.
The event, presented by journalist Valeria Robecco, was broadcast live across the network’s social media channels. It opened with a greeting from the Consul General of Italy in New York, Giuseppe Pastorelli, and concluded with an informal gathering at La Devozione NYC.
Top Rankings and Regional Leaders
Following the top spot, a tie for second place was awarded to two California establishments: William Joo’s Pizzeria Sei in Los Angeles and Tony Gemignani’s Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco. Dan Richer’s Razza in Jersey City secured the third position.
The rankings continued with Truly Pizza in Dana Point, California, at fourth, and Francesco Martucci in Miami, Florida, at fifth. New York’s Don Antonio, led by Giorgia Caporuscio, took sixth place, while Joe Powers’ Jay’s in Kenmore placed seventh.
An eighth-place tie saw Pasquale Cozzolino’s Ribalta in New York and Robert Garvey’s Robert’s in Chicago share the honour. Marisol Doyle’s Leña in Cleveland, Mississippi, followed in ninth, with Ken Forkish and Peter Kost’s Ken’s Artisan Pizza in Portland, Oregon, ranking tenth.
Specialized Categories and State Distribution
The “Pizza Slice” category, which recognizes the top fifteen addresses in the nation, placed L’industrie Pizzeria in New York, owned by Massimo Laveglia and Nick Baglivo, at the top. This was followed by Giulio Adriani’s Slice & Pie in Washington and Miami Slice in Miami.
New York emerged as the most represented state with 27 locations, followed by California with 13 and Florida with 10. At the city level, New York led with 24 locations, while Chicago and Portland each featured six.
Global Implications and Future Events
The significance of these rankings extends beyond domestic recognition. The top fifteen pizzerias from the USA list and the top three from the Pizza Slice category automatically qualify for the 100 Best Pizzerias in the World.
These elite establishments may now prepare for the 50 Top Pizza World 2026 awards ceremony. This international event is scheduled to take place in Naples on September 15.
The inclusion of these U.S. Venues in the global top 100 could likely increase international visibility for the American pizza scene, potentially drawing more global gastronomic attention to the highlighted cities.
