Nothing beats a perfectly charred pizza, and it’s one of the old’ reliable dishes that people seek out when arriving in a new city.

With the summer holidays ahead and people travelling across the continent, Big 7 Travel decided to round up the best of the best when it comes to pizzas in Europe. Think of it as a delicious DIY InterRail tour, but with heaps of mozzarella and chewy crusts. Oh, and views of big pizza pies.

The judging criteria:

Finalists were selected from the countries of the European Union
Every country has at least one entry; some have more than one entry if of high quality
Votes were cast in poll of Big 7 readers, across our 1.5million community on social media and by a panel of food experts
Online reviews, previous media coverage and notable blogs were also included in the overall rating
The final list is subjective – if Big7Travel have missed out on any must-try pizza places across the EU, please do let them know!

3rd. Rudy’s Pizza – Manchester, England
Many regard Rudy’s Pizza as the best pizza in England: talk to serious pizza connoisseurs and they’ll tell you it’s as good as anything you’ll ever taste. They’ve moved onto their second premises in Manchester on Peter Street and also expanded to Liverpool. None of the quality is lost as they grow, which is a real testimony to their excellence.

2. Bæst – København, Denmark
You know it’s the real deal here because they have their own farm that has a focus on organic meats & high quality produce as well as their own salumeria and micro-dairy – instead of importing mozzarella, they make it themselves with the best raw milk. This place is taking pizzas to whole new levels.

1st. L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele – Naples, Italy
Talk to anybody who has been here or read the reviews and you’ll see plenty of people calling it the best pizza they’ve eaten in their lives. The queues are always long, but the atmosphere among fellow customers waiting is buzzing, because everybody knows this is close to a religious experience. If you thought you were happy waiting you should see how happy you are leaving.
