Fifteen American eateries have made it to the list of 100 best pizzerias in the world. Of these, three are in the top 15. 

The list is an annual one that is published by the Italian pizza experts behind 50 Top Pizza, a well-known ranking that rewards the best pizzerias in Italy and in the world.

They recently released the 2022 survey ranking of the best pizzerias. And interestingly, there is a close tie between a New York restaurant, Una Pizza Napoletana and one in Southern Italy, I Masanielli di Francesco Martucci.
