Rank 1. Dante’s by Enis Baçova
Neapolitan Pizzeria
The puffy, charred crust here comes from Italian flour, fior di latte, and tomatoes shipped from Italy, which is a long way to go for a pizza in Ponsonby, but the dough is contemporary Neapolitan and the logic holds. This is a casual, affordable pizzeria with three Auckland locations, all informal and relaxed. The chef, Enis Baçova, arrived as a waiter and worked his way to owner, which is a good origin story for a place ranked 49th on 50 Top Pizza World.

Rank 2. Napoli Contemporanea
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A compact Neapolitan pizzeria on Parnell Road, where the electric oven faces the open kitchen and the whole room smells of dough with a proper crust. The chef is from outside Naples and has brought the full argument with him, including pasta and secondi alongside the pies. The Genovese turns up eighteen thousand kilometers from where it belongs and seems completely unbothered about it. Ranked among 50 Top Pizza's Asia-Pacific list.
