Every year, Italian judging panel 50 Top Pizza decides which pizza pies are the best in the business. The 2023 results for greatest pizzas in the Asia Pacific region were just released and we're stoked to see a handful of our local dough slingers made the list.
Coming in as the fourth best, we have South Yarra-based 48h Pizza e Gnocchi Bar (also voted best in Australia). As 2021's numero uno in Oceania, it's definitely fallen down a few slots globally but the Elsternwick and South Yarra-based outlet is clearly still impressing the most discerning of pizza judges. Back in 2019, it was also recognised as having the best pizza in Australia at the World Pizza Championships in Parma, Italy.
The judges of 50 Top Pizza have praised 48's balance in combining both tradition and creativity, and Michele Chirchirillo's focus on quality dough baked into a soft but crunchy base. It's described as a faithful indication of a "true Neapolitan-style pizza," but whether you've been to Italy or not you'll taste from the first bite that it's worth the buzz. Go for the pizza, but get a side of the bar's famous gnocchi too, which also gets a well-deserved mention.
