The Barcelona pizzeria Sartoria Panatieri was named the third best in the world by the internationally renowned 50 Top Pizza Ranking guide. In 2022, Sartoria Panatieri, ranked 21 in the same list.

The first prize this year is shared by Italian restaurants 10 Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria and I Masanielli. 

The victory is the third big one this year for owners Rafa Panatieri and Jorge Sastre, after obtaining the Best Pizza in Europe award and being acknowledged for their grilled cherry tomato sauce with mozzarella and basil by the same guide in May.

On their Instagram, the owners of the Gràcia-based pizzeria describe the win as a "milestone" in their journey since opening the restaurant in 2018

The philosophy that helped Santoria Panatieri reach the third spot is "From farm to pizza." The idea, according to the chefs, is to select all the ingredients and producers to ensure top quality both in product and sustainability.
