The world’s best pizza restaurants have been crowned 

Across the world, pretty much every nation has their version of scrumptious toppings on bread – in France they have pitze, in Mexico they have tlayuda, in Malta they have ftira – but the most universally recognised, adored and gobbled is obviously pizza.
