Two restaurants in the Philippines are still among the best pizza spots in the world, according to an Italian online guide.
Crosta Pizzeria and A mano retain their coveted spots in the 50 Top Pizza World list, placing 31st and 48th, respectively.
The two homegrown concepts first joined the rankings in 2023 and have always been supportive of each other on the global stage.
"Fourth year on this stage. Still pinching ourselves," read a post on Crosta Pizzeria's Facebook page. "Still flying the Philippine flag alongside some of the world's best pizzerias. Thank you, 50 Top Pizza, for the honor, and to our incredible team for keeping the dough flying."
"And a massive congrats to our friends at A mano — just two Manila pizza joints casually representing on the world stage. Not bad," it added.
A mano, for its part, said: "We're grateful for the opportunity to keep getting better and better with the help of our amazing team and loyal guests. Grazie mille for all your support. This is for you!"
"Our warmest congratulazioni as well to our friends at Crosta! Always an honor to stand beside you on the 50 Top Pizza stage."
Located in Makati, Crosta Pizzeria is known for its excellent sourdough crust and creative topping combinations by Filipino-Japanese chef Yuichi Abellare Ito.
A mano, on the other hand, is a well-loved Italian restaurant owned by Amado Fores, and has branches around the metro.
