Chicago pizzeria named one of the best in world, according to new list

One of the best 100 pizzerias in the world is in Chicago, according to a new list.

The report, dubbed a "Guide to the Best Pizzerias in the World," is from Top 50 Pizza in Naples, Italy. The ranking looked at an "enormous number of pizzerias throughout the world," a release said, with criteria including overall attention given to the customer and the quality of the final product.

According to the report, the No. 1 pizzeria in the world was Una Pizza Napoletana in New York, followed by Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria in Naples.

The only Chicago restaurant to appear on the list is at No. 50, with Robert's Pizza & Dough Co. at 456 N. McClurg St. Streeterville. Earlier this year, the same pizzeria earned No. the 10 spot on the guide's list of "Top 50" pizza places in the USA. The restaurant first ranked on the report in 2021.

The restaurant also earned a "Performance of the Year" for 2024 from the guide, a release said.
