Panama’s pizza scene has earned international recognition. Ciao Ragazzi represented the country at the World Pizza Championship in Parma, Italy, securing a top 10 global finish. The competition drew over 800 pizzamakers from around the world.<\/p>\n

This event stands as the most important contest in the pizza industry. It brings together elite professionals who compete on quality, technique and innovation. Ciao Ragazzi proudly carried Panama’s name among the protagonists of this high-level competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Panama Pizza Team Achieves Global Recognition in Gluten-Free Category<\/h2>\n

The standout result came in the Gluten-free pizza<\/a> category. Ciao Ragazzi claimed 10th place worldwide, entering the global top ten. The team also secured first place in Latin America<\/a> for this category.<\/p>\n

Strong performances appeared across other categories too. The team earned 18th place globally in the Pizza on a Peel category, reaching the world top 50. They took second place in Latin America for that category. In Classic Pizza, Ciao Ragazzi placed 63rd worldwide, entering the global top 100 and earning 9th place in Latin America.<\/p>\n

These results confirm a growth path already recognized internationally. Representing Panama in such a prestigious international context brings great satisfaction to the entire Ciao Ragazzi team. We continue investing in training and research to offer our clients an increasingly authentic, innovative and high-quality product. [Translated from Spanish]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Last year brought additional honors. Ciao Ragazzi received the prestigious Pizza Stellata award in Naples. That recognition led to an invitation to the Sanremo Music Festival<\/a> 2026, a symbol of Italian excellence and international visibility.<\/p>\n

Competing at the World Pizza Championship Means More Than Awards<\/h2>\n

Participation in events like the World Pizza Championship<\/a> allows comparison with the best professionals. Teams deepen their understanding of dough techniques, mass innovations and raw material selection. Ciao Ragazzi continues investing heavily in these areas.<\/p>\n

These achievements demonstrate constant commitment to excellence. They reinforce the company’s mission of bringing authentic Italian pizza tradition to Panama while maintaining increasingly elevated standards. The team shares this accomplishment with all customers who choose quality, passion and professionalism every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
