In a remarkable achievement, six Spanish pizzerias have been named among the top 100 restaurants in the world for 2026. These establishments are located in Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, and Madrid. Baldoria, Ciro Cristiano's Madrid restaurant, secured the eighth spot globally and was awarded the Best Marketing prize (Mammafiore Award) during the Naples ceremony.
Napoli on the Road, established by pizzaiolo Michele Pascarella in London, topped the list. The other Spanish pizzerias that made it to the top 100 include Sartoria Panatieri and Balmesina in Barcelona, Fratelli Figurato in Madrid, and Oura in Galicia. These six Spanish restaurants were among the top 50 in the world, with four others placed between the 50th and 100th positions.
Across Europe, 36 countries were represented in the annual ranking. Spain's strong performance in this year's ranking was anticipated before the official announcement, as the 50 Top Pizza Europa 2026 had already highlighted the country's excellence. Baldoria placed second overall and best in Spain, while Sartoria Panatieri, Fratelli Figurato, Oura, Demaio, and Balmesina all made it into the top 20.
The success of these Spanish pizzerias demonstrates their global recognition and commitment to quality, even as Italy remains the undisputed heartland of pizza.
