The Leggera pizzeria in São Paulo was elected the best in Latin America by the Italian guide Top 50 Pizza. It is the second consecutive year that the house leads the regional ranking – see list below.
Led by chef André Guidon, Leggera has two branches in the capital of São Paulo, in the neighborhoods of Perdizes and Jardins. The restaurant was previously recognized in 2023 as the best Neapolitan pizza in the world.
According to 50 Top Pizza, the chef maintains “a high standard of white art, blending tradition and creativity.” The guide highlights the menu with “harmonious white and red pizzas,” as well as calzones with ricotta and fried pizzas.
The text also highlights the light, well-fermented dough as a base for selected Italian ingredients. The combination results in “a slice that captures the true Neapolitan sound,” in reference to the pizza tradition of Naples.
Brazil dominated the list, with 25 pizzerias among the 50 best in Latin America. Five were in the top ten: Leggera (1st), Ferro e Farinha (4th), A Pizza da Mooca and QT Pizza Bar (5th, tied) and Unica Pizzeria (7th). With the exception of Ferro e Farinha, in Rio, all are from São Paulo.
The top 11 in the ranking will compete for the 50 Top Pizza World global award in September 2025 in Naples, Italy.
