Big news, Calgary: Pizza Culture Napoletana has just been crowned the Best Pizzeria in Canada and cracked the Top 100 in the world, landing at #81 on Italy’s 50 Top Pizza 2025 list.
That’s right, out of thousands of world-class pizza joints, our local spot on Edmonton Trail stood out above the rest. This year, Pizza Culture is the only Canadian pizzeria to make the global ranking.
A World-Class Win
This is the second year Pizza Culture has made the prestigious list. Last year they debuted at #96, and now they have jumped into the 80s while taking the crown as Canada’s best. Owner and pizzaiolo Jeremy Hube calls it a tribute to his team and Calgary’s pizza-loving community: “To be named once again among the legends, mentors, and pioneers we admire is both humbling and inspiring.”

The Secret’s in the Craft
What makes Pizza Culture stand out on the world stage? It is all about authenticity and passion:
-
The dough – Made with Italian Double Zero flour and leavened naturally with sourdough for more than 24 hours, it comes out golden, soft, and perfectly elastic.
-
The oven – A wood-fired Stefano Ferrara masterpiece imported from Naples, burning Okanagan apple and cherry wood at 900°F to cook pizzas in under 90 seconds.
-
The ingredients – San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, burrata, prosciutto, Parmigiano Reggiano, plus local honey from The Bee Project and mushrooms from Basil Ranch.
The result is a menu that blends true-to-Naples classics with creative combinations that keep Calgarians coming back for more.
Calgary’s Pizza Scene Is Rising
This win is not just big for Pizza Culture. It is a proud moment for Calgary’s entire food scene. The city has been building a reputation for incredible pizza, and Pizza Culture’s recognition proves we are now playing on the global stage. With a growing roster of standout pizzerias across the city, Calgary’s pizza culture (pun intended) is officially making waves.
