I Dream Of Pizza A Pizza Blog, Established In 2008

Much has been made in recent years about the influential “World’s 50 Best” lists. Love them or hate them (the organization’s 1100 voters are allowed to accept free meals and other perks), the lists generate much buzz, fanfare, and serve as inspiration for meal bookers across the globe. In 2023, Sartoria Panatieri, which has two locations in Barcelona, was ranked the third best pizza in the world (and the best in Europe). Barcelona is a city that is known for ...

Should you trust the hype? Everyone seems to have an opinion about Chrissy’s Pizza (142 Nassau Street), which until recently held the honor of being one of New York’s most elusive pies. What started as a Bushwick apartment pop-up during the pandemic, transformed into an East Village pop-up last year, operating out of the Superiority Burger space, after hours and only on select evenings.
