It may be a long time ago that qualifying something as “the best”-especially when we talk about gastronomy– has lost (at least to a large extent) its meaning in a context in which several times a year the best [insert dish] of the moment is announced. Perhaps then part of the legitimacy lies in the prestige and credibility of the person awarding it, and 50 Top Pizza has both: it has already announced its ranking for 2024 and two Madrid pizzerias have made it into the top 10.
The ranking takes into consideration pizzerias from all over Europe, with the exception of the queen in the field: Italy. Spain, with 39 pizzerias in the guide, is the most represented country, followed by France (with 21) and Germany (17).
As we said, of these 39, two are from Madrid. The first of them is Baldoria -which we talked about in detail in the following article- and it is in 5th place in the table this article and headed by Ciro Cristiano, former executive chef of the Big Mamma Group. And the next one, occupying number 10, is Fratelli Figurato the project of the brothers Riccardo and Vittorio Figurato, who have already appeared in this list up to 3 times.
Where are the award-winning pizzerias?
- Baldoria. 100, José Ortega y Gasset Street.
- Fratelli Figurato:
- Pizzeria (37, Alonso Cano Street).
- Trattoria Popolare (13, Larra Street).
Other awards
Another Madrid pizzeria, MO de Movimiento (Calle de Espronceda, 34) -where, by the way, tim Cook apple’s CEO, during his visit to Madrid, has been awarded Green Oven 2024 – Goeldlin: a recognition of sustainability.
Baldoria has also won the special Best Pasta Proposal 2024 – Pastificio Di Martino Award. On the other hand, the top 20 pizzerias in the ranking automatically become part of the list of the 100 Best Pizzerias in the World. The complete list is available at 50 Top Pizza official website.
