Salvador’s Forneria Alfredo’Ro Named Second-Best Pizzeria in Brazil for 2026

Forneria Alfredo’Ro, located in Salvador, Bahia, has been recognized as the second-best pizza restaurant in Brazil for 2026 by the Best Pizza World's Top 100 Brazil ranking. The establishment achieved a score of 944.40 points, placing it one step away from the top spot in the nation. This achievement marks a significant milestone for Salvador, as it now holds the highest-ranked pizzeria in Brazil's Northeast region.

The ranking considers various factors such as dough, ingredients, baking technique, and overall experience. Forneria Alfredo’Ro is renowned for its commitment to long, slow fermentations, a powerful wood-fired oven, and a menu that blends Northeastern Brazilian ingredients with Italian culinary techniques. This has resulted in the creation of pizzas with light, airy crusts, charring, precise toppings, and a distinct sense of place.

The ranking's top 100 list has historically been dominated by pizzerias in São Paulo, but the inclusion of Forneria Alfredo’Ro signifies a growing presence of skilled pizzaiolos in Bahia, Pernambuco, and Minas Gerais. The restaurant is situated in a popular dining district of Salvador and attracts large crowds on weekends, so reservations are highly recommended.

The menu at Forneria Alfredo’Ro offers both classic pizzas like margherita and marinara, as well as innovative creations infused with regional flavors. The restaurant also boasts an extensive wine and craft-beer selection to complement the meals. This recognition adds to Salvador's reputation as a food destination, complementing its already strong offerings of regional cuisine and historical attractions.
