They found an even broader audience during the pandemic when, like many other restaurants, they pivoted to producing at-home pizza kits, which continue to this day to great success.
Posting about their news on Twitter, the brothers wrote: "F**k the career high, this is a life high that will be hard beat."
The top spot was a joint win for Anthony Mangieri of Una Pizza Napoletana in New York, USA and The Masanielli by Francesco Mantucci in Caserta, Italy.
Italian chefs dominated the top 5, unsurprisingly, as 50 Kàlo and 10 Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria, both in Naples, came 4th and 5th, respectively.
