10 NYC Pizzerias Ranked Among Top 50 In U.S.

NEW YORK CITY — It's not a secret that some of the best pizza in the country — and world — can be found in New York City.

A new ranking of the best places across the nation to grab a slice, released by the 50 Top Pizza guide, says ten of the nation's best pizzerias are in New York City. The guide, which is based on the findings of a team of inspectors who anonymously evaluate pizzerias around the world, even lists one New York City pizzeria as the very best nationwide.

“Year after year we are noticing changes in pizzerias across the United States that have led to increasingly interesting ideas and that are good for the entire industry,” guide curators Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro, and Albert Sapere said in a statement. “We would also like to mention that the different styles of pizza that our inspectors get to enjoy are also getting more numerous. This is a good thing because it creates a wider variety for the customer.”

According to their list, the best pizza in the city is found at Una Pizza Napoletana in the Lower East Side. The Manhattan pizzeria ranked in first place on the list of the nation’s top pizzerias.

Una Pizza Napoletana has been in the Lower East Side since 2018 with wood-fired pizzas spearheaded by owner Anthony Mangieri. The Orchard Street eatery has been top ranked in the nation for pizza in 2022 and 2024.

Nine other New York City pizzerias are ranked nationally, including Ribalta, Don Antonio, Kesté, Ops, Pizza Secret, Salsa, Audace, Pasquale Jones and Stretch Pizza.
