50 Top Pizza: Da Michele is the best artisan pizza chain in the world

The Italians know this. Pizza is always pizza and wherever you go on vacation, after trying all the typical dishes, you always come back to it, to that slice with a crunchy edge, with the stringy mozzarella and that scent that can be recognized even in the distance.

50 Top Pizza, the most important guide in the sector has decided to confer an ad hoc prize for the chains of artisanal pizzerias, the Top World Artisan Pizza Chains 2021 – Latteria Sorrentina Award. 20 brands present in the first edition of this special ranking with at least 5 locations.

The brand is on the top step of the podium From Michele, historic Neapolitan brand that has 19 offices around the world, 8 in Italy and the remaining located in England, Spain, Germany, USA, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Japan. In second position another high-sounding name of the Neapolitan school, that of Sorbillo, which includes several stores throughout the peninsula, in addition to those in New York, Miami and Tokyo. Third, which arouses a great surprise, is the French Big Mamma Group, with numerous clubs in their homeland, in London and Madrid.

From Michele
Immortalized in the film Eat, pray, love, with a Julia Roberts biting into a slice of pizza Margherita, the pizzeria Da Michele is an unmissable place if you go to Naples. Michele opened his first pizzeria in 1906 in the current headquarters of the Ascalesi Hospital, whose construction forced the pizzeria to move. In 1930 the pizzeria was moved to its current location in Via Cesare Sersale, often described by experts and journalists as “the sacred temple of pizza”.

To dominate, in the ranking drawn up by 50 Top, are certainly those coming from the homeland of pizza, Italy, with 7 out of 20 chains: in the ranking we also find Berber, From scratch, Savor, Fra Diavolo e Rossopomodoro. There are also 3 British brands, one French and one Spanish, bringing the total of the Old Continent to 13.
