How the guides work
One list is one opinion. When an award guide, a food critic and a city magazine all name the same pizzeria, that’s worth knowing. Each guide gathers at least five recognised lists for one food in one city and counts how many name each place.
The guides don’t score, visit or review anything. They show where the lists agree, with every source linked, so you can read the reasons in each list yourself.
Then rank your own
The lists tell you where to start. Matcha keeps track of what you thought: score each dish you try and see your own top 10 for every food and city.
