The No. 1 pizza spot on the world list this year is Manhattan's Una Pizza Napoletana. It's the third year in a row that the the Lower East Side eatery has been crowned as the top spot.

Rounding out the top five were The Pizza Bar On 38th in Tokyo, Japan, Confine in Milan, Italy, and Napoli On The Road in London, England.
