Dozens of pizzerias from 51 countries participated and the total votes were over 70 thousand.

Attilio is the best pizzeria in the world

The international contest with the votes of this particular popular jury placed Attilio at the top of the podium, whose name is that of the maestro Attilio Bachetti , a historic name that since 1938 has delighted the palates of Neapolitan citizens and tourists who pass through Pignasecca, in the beautiful historic center of Naples.

Attilio is highly respected and held in high regard by his fellow pizza makers because he knows how to keep tradition alive , while also continually experimenting and working tirelessly every day to create delicious, high-quality pizzas. His pizzeria has a long family tradition , and Attilio himself took his first steps in this world as a child, thanks to his grandfather Don Attilio's business.

Its specialties are three: the Giardiniera pizza , with tips filled with ricotta and mixed grilled seasonal vegetables, the star-shaped Carnevale pizza with tips filled with ricotta and buffalo mozzarella and Piennolo cherry tomatoes in the center, and finally the ricotta-based pizza with Campanian copper onions and pepper.

The Best AVPN Pizzeria - Web Awards

In online user voting, votes from around the world rewarded the Siberian pizzeria Pizzot°, owned by AVPN brand ambassador Aniello Beneduce, which took first place. In second and third place were the Lithuanian pizzeria Užupio Picerija , owned by Federico Meschino, originally from Itri, in the province of Latina, and the Spanish pizzeria Sciantusi, owned by the Sicilian Palumbo family, located in Madrid. These two pizzerias are flying the flag for authentic Neapolitan pizza around the world and are enjoying great success.

The True Neapolitan Pizza Association

The AVPN was founded in 1984 with its own statute and guidelines for the promotion, but above all, for the protection and appreciation of Neapolitan pizza worldwide. It also fights against the incorrect use of the expression "verace pizza napoletana" (true Neapolitan pizza), which is often used around the world, so this recognition for Attilio is truly significant.
