Pizza Napoletana claimed the top spot in 2025, proving that when it comes to food, sometimes the classics truly are unbeatable.

[hurkanakbiyik](/users/02048b68-b472-4ebd-b9ca-1835b1f6d26e) tried the Calabrisella pizza at [Piccolo Forno](/places/5ea7a517-091d-4ab9-ac42-96abee64d19b) in Haarlem, Netherlands and was blown away:

> "Calabrisella pizza is the best pizza I have ever tasted so far in my life. The dough is perfect and having a little burnt corner makes it so nice. The sauce and cheese have great quality, but the most important thing is the ricotta cheese and spice in it."

Meanwhile, [Gourmetazat](/users/5a91e2f1-818f-40a5-8ccb-0686e697ee95) discovered an incredible version at [The House Of Pizza](/places/330afde9-e423-4dfd-8bb0-33a83041f11f) in Bologna, Italy:

> "One of the best Neapolitan pizza I've ever had. The dough was super fluffy and delicious. The pesto and cheese was amazing. I wish the restaurant was in my city so I could order it every week!"

**Category**: Breakfast | **Reviews**: 2

This classic brunch dish proved that when executed by skilled chefs, simple ingredients can create magic.

[hurkanakbiyik](/users/02048b68-b472-4ebd-b9ca-1835b1f6d26e) had a memorable experience at [Hotel Marinus](/places/af5e558a-d5e6-4d7e-9b73-096737cd7b09) in Marina, Croatia:

> "Best eggs benedict with ham I have tried so far. One of the benefits of eating somewhere with real chefs is this - even a simple eggs benedict is completely different. Perfectly cooked eggs, really nice idea of having bread to hold the eggs in a bowl."

A unique twist was found at [Snob Amsterdam](/places/f511bc4d-3210-4585-a1c8-5b37f5c47abf):

> "Eggs Benedict with Sucuk - a bold and satisfying twist on a classic. The spicy sucuk added great flavor, and the yogurt brought a refreshing contrast. Eggs were poached perfectly."
