Two Brussels pizzerias make Europe's Top 50 list

According to the website 50 Top Pizza, Piola Pizza on Place Saint-Josse and La Pizza è Bella Gourmet in Etterbeek are among the 50 best pizzerias in Europe.

50 Top Pizza publishes an annual list of the best pizzas, made in the Neapolitan style, from all over Europe. Piola Pizza has been rated as the eighth best in Europe for creating these thanks to what the site calls "well-risen and spiced dough," with "top quality Italian products." In addition, the specialty - cornicione - in which the pizza crust is filled with Ricotta cheese, is also praised.

La Pizza è Bella Gourmet near Place Jourdan in Etterbeek, a spin-off of the pizzeria on the Sablon with a similar name, is rated as the 19th best in Europe. The relatively new establishment is praised for its vegetarian options and typical Neapolitan calzoni and fried pizza.
