Franko’s Pizza&Bar secures the 79th spot globally, outshining regional competitors and earning international recognition.

Zagreb‘s Franko‘s Pizza&Bar, which has achieved numerous successes in recent years, even reaching 14th place on the list of the 50 best pizzerias in Europe, was yesterday, September 8th, in Naples, declared the 79th best pizzeria in the world, including Italy. The announcement of the 50 Top Pizza World is an important moment for any pizzeria and represents a nice recognition for the work and effort that pizzaiolos and pizzeria owners put into their business throughout the year. Franko‘s, as a reminder, now has two locations in Zagreb - on Branimirova and Charles Darwin Street.

It is interesting to add that there are no pizzerias from neighboring countries such as Slovenia and Serbia on the list, although they have previously appeared on the list of the 50 best in Europe. It is also interesting that the Polish pizzeria Zielona Górka, whose team recently visited Franko‘s and which was declared the best in the world by The True Neapolitan Pizza Association, as we wrote about here, is ranked 97th.

The first place on the list of the best in the world went to the Italian pizzeria I Masanielli – Francesco Martucci, which shares it with Una Pizza Napoletana pizzeria in New York. The second place went to The Pizza Bar on 38th in Japan, and the third to the Brazilian Leggera Pizza Napoletana. Most of the awarded pizzerias, of course, come from Italy.
