Partenope Ristorante in Dallas has once again proved itself as one of the best pizzerias in the country by reappearing on 50 Top Pizza’s list of the Top 50 Pizzerias in the United States.
50 Top Pizza, a publication based in Italy – so you know it’s legit – has made a name for itself as an authoritative voice on the best pizza across the globe. Each year, the publication ranks pizza joints both nationally and internationally. Recently, 50 Top Pizza released its 2025 edition of the Top 50 Pizzerias in the United States, including Dallas’ own Partenope Ristorante as No. 17.
