Pizza Margherita Voted As World’s Best Pizza

 

A new ranking of the “best pizzas in the world” has caused controversy among food lovers, who are divided over its choices.

 

The top spot was awarded to the classic Pizza Margherita, a simple yet widely beloved dish that originated in Naples, Italy.

 

 

The list, compiled by online travel guide Taste Atlas, also features other traditional Italian pizzas, with Pizza Napoletana coming in second place and Pizza Quattro Formaggi in third.

 

 

While some have praised the ranking for its focus on authentic Italian pizza, others have criticized it for being too narrow in its scope. Many were surprised to see the rectangular Pizza al taglio, a popular street food in Rome, ranked fourth on the list, while the cherry tomato topped Caprese Pizza took fifth place.

 

 

Despite the controversy, there is no denying the enduring popularity of pizza around the world. Its origins can be traced back to Naples in the 18th century, where it was a cheap and convenient food for the city’s working class. Today, pizza is enjoyed in many different forms and styles, with countless variations on the classic tomato sauce and cheese combination.
