Every year, an authentic Italian business named ’50 Top Pizza’ produces a ranking of the 100 best pizzerias from around the world.
To be featured on this list is among the highest honors in the pizzeria industry, where fine dining accolades like Michelin Stars aren’t expected!
The curators of the list include highly decorated culinary experts who scour the globe for the best pizzerias looking everywhere from Tokyo, Japan to São Paulo, Brazil.
What D.C. pizzeria ranked among the top 100 best pizzerias in the world?
Well, just cracking the top 100 of the 2024 best pizzerias in the world ranking was none other than Slice & Pie.
This incredible spot is helmed by owner and ‘pizzaiolo’ (pizza maker) Giulio Adriani, who uses his decades of pizza-making to create an inarguably delicious selection of slices that use quality local ingredients while maintaining “as much Italian identity as possible”.
According to the full review left by ’50 Top Pizza’, the priority pizzas to try should be:
- The Mushrooms Pie with parmesan cream and mushrooms.
- The Burrata Pie with California tomatoes.
- The Square Pie (a Detroit-style square pizza pizza) with provolone cheese, honey, and pepperoni.
Location: 2221 14th St. NW Washington, DC
How to get your hands on a piece of Slice & Pie
Slice & Pie is a to-go-only type of pizzeria, where you can order your preferred slices (or pies) on the spot or online in advance, but it is not a sit-down establishment where you will get table service.
Fortunately, however, right next door happens to be their sister establishment, Lucy Bar, which has proper seating and also has some incredibly delicious pizzas available for order as well as some refreshing craft cocktails!
