I\u2019ve been to around two dozen more Neapolitan or Neapolitan-adjacent pizzerias in that span, excluding ones I\u2019d already tried and have revisited. Fitting them into the old ranking was tricky just because of the time elapsed here \u2013 there are places on this list I haven\u2019t visited in a decade, and some I went to within the last year. I\u2019ve also included two spots on the top 50 that serve something other than Neapolitan-style pizza, but which I thought belonged here for the sake of completeness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Links go to the blog post where I originally reviewed each place. As far as I can tell, all of these places are still open, but please throw a comment in if you see I\u2019ve included any spots that closed. We lost a few off the last update, including Co. and Nicoletta in Manhattan, plus the New York location of Via Tribunali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/klaw.me\/9OcLNO\">Pizzeria Bianco<\/a>, Phoenix<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/klaw.me\/14x5x14\">Kest\u00e9<\/a>, New York<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/meadowparty.com\/blog\/2022\/07\/22\/los-angeles-eats-2022-edition\/\">Pizzeria Sei<\/a>, Los Angeles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/meadowparty.com\/blog\/2023\/03\/29\/winston-salem-and-wilmington-eats\/\">Mission Pizzeria Napoletana<\/a>, Winston-Salem<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <a href=\"http:\/\/klaw.me\/15YaqkZ\">Motorino<\/a>, New York<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6.
