Bangkok, Thailand, March 11, 2026 / TRAVELINDEX / Massilia Bangkok is pleased to announce that it has been named Thailand's Best Pizza 2026 by the prestigious 50 Top Pizza Asia Pacific Awards – the restaurant's fifth national title and fourth consecutive win since 2021.

Massilia was also ranked as the sixth best pizzeria in Asia in 2026, thus solidifying its position as Thailand's leading address for authentic Neapolitan pizza and as one of the best pizzerias in the entire Asia-Pacific region.

Proudly leading Thailand's pizza community

“This award means an incredible amount to us,” said owner Luca Appino. “As Thailand’s best pizzeria for the past five years, we feel responsible not only to our guests, but to the entire pizza community in Thailand.”

While Massilia is proud to be the country's number one, the team emphasizes that this success reflects the strength of the entire Thai pizza scene – talented pizza makers perfecting their craft, passionate restaurant owners constantly raising standards, and guests who truly appreciate quality and authenticity.

“It is an honor for us to represent Thailand internationally. But we are also part of a larger movement – ​​of chefs and restaurateurs throughout the country who are committed to excellence. When Thai pizzerias gain worldwide recognition, it enhances the entire industry,” said head chef Michele Fernando.

As Thailand's most awarded pizzeria, Massilia takes this role seriously and continues to set standards while celebrating the growth of the community around it.

Four years in a row: A commitment to consistency

Winning four titles (2023–2026) reflects something deeper than individual achievements – it's about maintaining the highest standards year after year, thoughtfully developing further and never taking success for granted.

Every year brings new challenges: the availability of ingredients, training new employees, the challenge of remaining innovative while preserving traditions. As Thailand's leading pizzeria, Massilia knows that consistency is not just important, but essential.

“As number one, we can’t afford any slip-ups. Every pizza, every service, every interaction with our guests must meet the standard that earned us this position. We take that very seriously.”

The 50 Top Pizza Guide is the world's leading ranking of pizzerias, where restaurants are rated on dough quality, ingredient purity, service and overall experience.

Thailand's increasing presence in these rankings reflects what the local gastronomy scene has always known: Bangkok is a world-class destination for food lovers, with restaurateurs and chefs who are wholeheartedly dedicated to their craft.

As Thailand's most internationally renowned pizzeria, Massilia's journey from a small pizza truck to five-time national champion and among the top 6 in Asia shows what dedication, quality and genuine hospitality can achieve.

Building on tradition, with a view to the future

At its core, Massilia's approach has remained unchanged since its beginnings:

  • 72-hour cold fermentation for optimal dough structure
  • High-quality Italian ingredients: San Marzano tomatoes, Fior di Latte mozzarella, DOP olive oil
  • Respect for Neapolitan techniques passed down through generations
  • Creativity and playfulness in everything we create – tradition with a spark
  • Genuine hospitality where every guest feels welcome.

    • These principles have led Massilia to five national titles and a place among Asia's elite pizzerias, and they will continue to run the restaurant.

    "We're not chasing awards. We're chasing the perfect pizza – with a little creativity and fun along the way. Recognition is a nice side effect of this pursuit."

    Massilia is Thailand's most popular pizzeria and Bangkok's premier destination for authentic Neapolitan pizza. Since its founding, Massilia has enjoyed international recognition for its commitment to quality, craftsmanship, creativity, and hospitality. Massilia operates two locations in Bangkok and offers catering, consulting, and franchising services.
