about the project

A love letter to
great pizza.

itspizza.com is the world's only community-powered pizza leaderboard. Not a review site. Not a rating system. Not a place to complain about slow delivery or a waiter who got your order wrong.

We asked a simpler question: what are the 10 best pizzerias you have ever eaten at? And then we asked everyone.

"No stars. No reviews. No bad takes. Just your top ten."

Every list is a love letter. Every submission is someone saying — without reservation, without hedging, without a star rating — these are the places worth traveling for. Worth waiting for. Worth arguing about at 2am.

The math pools everyone's lists together. Your #1 pick is worth 10 points. Your #10 is worth 1. A place that appears at #1 on 50 lists beats a place that appears at #10 on 500 lists. The ranking rewards passion, not popularity.

Why no reviews?

Because reviews attract people who want to complain. Stars attract people who want to punish. We wanted to build something that only attracts people who genuinely love pizza — and the only way to do that was to make it structurally impossible to say anything negative.

You can't leave a bad review on itspizza.com. You can only say yes. The only way to express a negative opinion is to not include a place on your list — and that's silent. Nobody gets publicly dragged. No pizzeria fears being on this platform. They want to be on it.

That's a completely different energy than every other food platform on the internet. We think it's better.

The eaten-at list

Your top 10 is your passionate endorsement. Your eaten-at list is your pizza passport — a lifetime record of every pizzeria you've visited. It never resets. It only grows.

It also gives your top 10 context. Someone who has eaten at 847 pizzerias across 40 countries and ranks Di Fara at #1 — that vote means something different than someone on their sixth slice. Both votes count equally in the math, but the community can see who's who.

Who built this?

The itspizza.com team — a small group of people who have eaten a lot of pizza and thought the world deserved a better way to rank it. We are not food critics. We are not restaurant industry insiders. We are just people who believe that great pizza is one of the most democratic pleasures on earth and that the best guide to finding it is other people who feel the same way.
