The number one place in the guide to the best pizzerias in the world is Una Pizza Napoletana by Anthony Mangieri, pizzeria on the Lower East Side that recently reopened after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Una Pizza Napoletana there are also tables of cold cuts and Neapolitan pastiera, which is a must, according to 50 Top Pizza.
“It is a lesson in humility and I am full of gratitude”Mangieri said in a statement. “Every day since I opened Una Pizza in 1996 I have had the dream of doing this job without compromise. We have been very blessed to be able to do this and continue to learn and grow as a pizzeria and as pizza makers.”
At Una Pizza Napoletana, the focus has been on pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven with natural yeast. The dough is kneaded by hand and only three pizzas are baked at a time. “Choosing to have a single location allows for an obsessive focus on every detail,” the pizzeria shares on its website.
Mangieri makes her dough anew every day, but changes her recipe a little every day “in hopes of landing on the perfect cake.”
