The XXXI edition of the Pizza World Championship has just concluded, featuring 718 competitors representing 55 nations. With 1078 challenges to determine a single winner across various categories, the city of Parma served as an exceptional venue. Italy emerges triumphantly from the competition, with near absolute dominance in several specialties.
Giulia Vicini claims the title of the world’s best pizza maker in the classic pizza category. At just 20 years old, the native of Bergamo scored 840 points in the championship’s flagship event. Alongside her partner Giulia Zanni, she impressed the judges with her vegan pizza featuring Bergamo’s local vegetable products, her hometown specialty.
