Pizza fans, get ready to celebrate, Malta has just scored a delicious win on the global stage! Salumeria Gardens, a beloved spot in St Julian’s, has been recognised as one of the top 100 pizzerias worldwide, marking a historic first for the island.

The exciting news came during the prestigious Top100 Pizza Awards held recently in Milan, where Salumeria Gardens secured the 98th position among some of the world’s best pizza makers. This achievement puts Malta on the map in a whole new way, proving that fantastic pizza isn’t just the domain of famous Italian cities.

Pablo and Max Kuilboer, the passionate founders behind Salumeria Gardens, expressed their delight at the honour. “It’s an incredible feeling to represent Malta internationally,” they said. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our whole team and shows that great pizza can come from anywhere, even a small Mediterranean island.”

The Top100 Pizza Awards are highly regarded within the global pizza community. They celebrate not only tradition and craftsmanship but also innovation and excellence in pizza-making from across the globe. The event brings together hundreds of pizza chefs, journalists, and industry experts, all united by their love of the craft.

Voting is conducted by a large panel of over 500 experts from 60 countries, including more than 300 professional pizza chefs. This ensures that the awards remain independent, transparent, and truly reflective of the pizza world’s top talent.

Thanks to this recognition, Salumeria Gardens has earned well-deserved international praise and boosted Malta’s reputation as a culinary destination. It’s proof that when it comes to pizza, you don’t have to travel far to enjoy something truly special.

Congratulations to everyone at Salumeria Gardens, Malta’s pizza pride!
