Italy Claims Best Pizza in the World is a Short Trip from NJ

There’s no debate that New Jersey has terrific pizza.

Other states can call themselves the pizza capitol of the United States, but Jersey still reigns supreme.

Due to its deep Italian roots, Jersey takes its pizza seriously.

One popular pizzeria in New Jersey that has garnered national attention is Brooklyn Square.

They have locations in Jackson, Manalapan, and Toms River.

Brooklyn Square is pretty legendary for its upside-down square slice.

I was shocked when I read one publication exclaiming that a nearby New York City pizzeria had the best slice in America and the world.

Oh, and this is from the folks of Italy.

50toppizza.it has released its 2024 guide to the top pizzerias in the world.

There are 29 countries present in the World Ranking 2024.

Italy was the first country with 41 pizzerias, followed by the United States of America with 15 pizzerias.

Naples was the most represented city, with five venues, followed by New York, São Paulo, Milan, Rome, and Caserta, each with four venues.

Check out the top 9 finalists.

This spectacular restaurant beat out others from Naples, Caserta, and Milan. Think about that.

Anthony Mangieri is a pioneer of Neapolitan-style pizza in the United States.

A native of New Jersey, Anthony grew up in a close-knit Italian-American family. He developed a pizza obsession from a young age, persuading his mother to drive him to every well-known pizzeria in the tri-state area.

This early fixation developed into a lifelong dedication to creating the perfect pizza—something he remains steadfastly dedicated to daily.

At 22, Anthony opened a bread bakery called Sant Arsenio in Red Bank.

Three years later, in 1996, he established Una Pizza Napoletana in Point Pleasant Beach.

Anthony relocated Una Pizza Napoletana to Manhattan’s East Village in 2004, where his pizzas drew lines of customers and rave reviews (New York Times, The New Yorker, to name a few).

Anthony returned to New York’s Lower East Side in 2018 and opened a location in New Jersey’s Atlantic Highlands in 2020.

Una Pizza Napoletana reopened its now-only location on the Lower East Side in March 2022 after Anthony spent months transforming the space to meet his vision.

What makes this pizza so incredible? It’s all about the wood-fired pizzas.

The apps, homemade ice cream, sorbet, and Italian wines and beer make Una Pizza Napoletana a must-visit.
