When you think about the best pizza in the country, your mind might jump to New York or Chicago… but don’t sleep on Philly. In fact, one of our own, Pizzeria Beddia in Fishtown, was just crowned one of the Top 50 Pizzerias in the United States by the international pizza authority 50 Top Pizza USA 2025.
What is 50 Top Pizza?
The Italian-born guide is one of the most respected in the pizza world, known for sending anonymous inspectors across the country to rate pies not just by taste, but by the overall experience from customer service to atmosphere.
This year’s results put Una Pizza Napoletana in New York City at the top of the list for the third time, but Philly proudly earned its place at the table thanks to Beddia’s elevated but approachable take on the pizza night experience.
What makes Pizzeria Beddia so special?
Indeed, Pizzeria Beddia isn’t your average slice shop. Tucked into the heat of Fishtown, this sit-down spot delivers the whole package. Patrons can enjoy everything from mouthwatering pizza, to small plates, to soft-serve, to thoughtfully curated natural wines.
Moreover, Pizzeria Beddia is home to what might be one of the city’s most under-the-radar gems, The Hoagie Room.
This private dining space offers a next-level tasting experience that’s intimate, quirky, and distinctly Philly.
And clearly, the folks at 50 Top Pizza noticed. Their 2025 list celebrates everything from crispy slices to fried specialties, and Beddia’s inclusion proves that Philadelphia’s food scene continues to ear national (and international) respect.
Whether you’re a die-hard pizza purist or just looking for next date night spot, Beddia is a must.
The next time someone asks where to find the best pizza in America, feel free to point them to Fishtown.
