MANILA -- The Philippines is still home to some of the best pizza places in Asia-Pacific, according to an Italy-based online guidebook.

On Wednesday, Top 50 Pizza announced its 2023 list of the best pizza spots in the region, which includes three restaurants from the Philippines.

Leading the pack is Crosta Pizzeria in Makati, which ranked 10th and won the Pizza of the Year award for the Cherry Culatello Pie by its Filipino-Japanese head chef, Yuichi Abellare Ito.

"The Philippines broke into the Top 10 of the best pizzerias in Asia-Pacific 2023 and we are beyond ecstatic to be representing [the country]," read a post on Crosta's Instagram page.

"We're going to Naples for the Top 100 pizzerias in the world," added Crosta, which was also hailed as the No. 1 pizza spot in the country.
