An Argentine pizzeria has once again earned a spot among the world's elite pizza establishments, marking its fifth consecutive year of international acclaim. Ti Amo, located in Adrogué, Buenos Aires, was recognized by the prestigious 50 Top Pizza guide, securing the second-best position in Latin America and placing 21st in the global rankings for 2026.
