If you want to eat and drink well when traveling, it's helpful to consult best-of lists ranking the world's top bars and restaurants.

But if you want to get more granular, and partake in a globetrotting expedition to uncover the world's finest pizzas, then you turn to 50 Top Pizza, an Italian organization that evaluates pizzerias and then selflessly ranks them for our benefit.

Its 2023 list was just released, and it's highlighting the 100 best pizzerias in the world. Now, it's unclear why 50 Top Pizza ranks 100 pizza joints, but we're not here to investigate such matters, only to relay the vital intelligence sourced from within. 

In a fun twist, the list actually includes 101 spots, because there's a tie for number one between 10 Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria in Naples and I Masanielli Francesco Martucci in Caserta. But the U.S. puts up a good fight, with New York's Una Pizza Napoletana ranked number two and Razza Pizza Artigianale in Jersey City ranked number 11. Also in the top 20 is Ken's Artisan Pizza in Portland, Oregon, at number 18 and Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco in the 19th spot. 

All in, there are 15 stateside pizzerias in the mix, so you can eat well close to home. But if you want to set your sights further afield, you'll find top-ranked pizzas in Tokyo, Copenhagen, Auckland, Melbourne and Hong Kong. You'll even find one in North Macedonia.

Which drastically increases your chances of ever visiting North Macedonia.
