Crosta Pizzeria, with award-winning executive pizza chef Yuichi Abellare Ito, has secured the 31st spot on the list.
The cult-favorite brand serves classic pizza flavors like Pepperoni, Morty & Ella, and Margherita, but their fast-growing community loves them even more for their distinct flavors and funky innovations that they serve for limited periods of time, including the Sisig Pizza and the Bibingka Pizza.

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to keep getting better and better with the help of our amazing team and loyal guests. Grazie mille for all your support. This is for you!” the brand wrote in an Instagram post following its recognition.
“Our warmest congratulazioni as well to our friends at @crostapizzeria! Always an honor to stand beside you on the 50Top Pizza stage,” it added.
In March 2026, both brands made it to the top ten of the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific 2026 Awards. Crosta bagged the fifth spot, while a mano secured the ninth spot.
Definitely give these two pizza joints a try! Crosta Pizzeria currently has two branches: Makati and San Juan, while a mano operates in Taguig, Makati, Mandaluyong, and Quezon City.
Congratulations!
