India's food landscape is steadily making its mark on the global stage, with pizza being in the spotlight this time. The recently released 50 Top Pizza World 2025 rankings saw Gurugram's Pizzeria da Susy secure a position, adding to its earlier achievement of 71st place among the Top 100 at the Best Pizza Awards 2025 in Milan.

For Susanna "Susy" Di Cosimo, the journey began almost by accident. A native of Naples, she moved to India in 2013 and ran a travel agency for eight years before exploring what she calls the "white art" of baking. Starting with bread, she gradually moved to Neapolitan pizza. "What began as a pastime quickly turned into an obsession," she recalls.
