Luca Appino, owner of Massilia Bangkok, said…

“This recognition is incredibly meaningful to us. As Thailand’s top pizzeria for five years, we feel a responsibility not just to our guests, but to the entire pizza community in Thailand.”

Massilia said its team views the award as a reflection of Thailand’s broader pizza scene, citing pizzaiolos, restaurant owners, and guests who value quality and authenticity.

Chef Michele Fernando added…

“We’re honoured to represent Thailand on the international stage. But we’re also part of a larger movement — chefs and restaurateurs across the country who are dedicated to excellence. When Thai pizzerias gain global recognition, it elevates everyone in our industry.”

Massilia said it will continue to set standards while supporting the growth of Thailand’s pizza community.

Four consecutive years

Massilia said its run of consecutive national wins from 2023 to 2026 reflects a focus on maintaining standards year after year, while continuing to evolve.

The restaurant cited ongoing challenges, including ingredient availability, training new team members, and balancing innovation with Neapolitan tradition.

“Being number one means we can’t have an off day. Every pizza, every service, every guest interaction has to reflect the standard that earned us this position. We don’t take that lightly.”

Why the awards matter

Massilia said the 50 Top Pizza guide evaluates pizzerias on dough quality, ingredient integrity, service and overall dining experience.

The restaurant added that Thailand’s presence in international rankings reflects Bangkok’s position as a global food destination, supported by chefs and restaurateurs committed to their craft. Massilia also highlighted its journey from a small pizza truck to a five-time national winner and a top-six ranking in Asia.

Building on tradition, looking forward

At its core, Massilia said its approach has remained unchanged since the beginning:

  • 72-hour cold fermentation for optimal dough structure
  • Premium Italian ingredients: San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte mozzarella, DOP olive oil
  • Respect for Neapolitan techniques passed down through generations
  • Creativity and playfulness in everything they create, tradition with a spark
  • Genuine hospitality that makes every guest feel welcome

As they say…

“We’re not chasing awards. We’re chasing the perfect pizza, with a little creativity and fun along the way. The recognition is a beautiful byproduct of that pursuit.”

Gratitude to the community

Massilia said its success would not be possible without:

The team, the pizzaiolos, servers, and staff who show up with passion every day

The guests, whose support, feedback, and loyalty have sustained us since day one

Their partners and suppliers, who share our commitment to quality

Thailand’s pizza community, fellow restaurateurs, chefs, and enthusiasts, are raising standards together

“Every award we receive is shared. This belongs to everyone who believed in what we were building.”
