Vera Pizza Day, held on January 17 on the occasion of the Sant’Antuono Feast, is a 24-hour live stream with masterclasses from all continents and in different languages to tell about one of the most loved and well-known products in the world.
The Vera Pizza Contest is a home challenge open to everyone, with professional pizza-makers courses up for grabs. It is a free contest, open to everyone, lovers and professionals, designed to reward the best True pizza made and designed at home.
Best AVPN Pizzeria is the competition to elect the Top AVPN Member of the year. The evaluation takes into account various aspects: quality of the pizza, selection of raw materials, pairings, table service, attention to the look and the style of the pizzeria.
Designed by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana and the Univerde Foundation, chaired by Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, from 2020 the Sant'Antuono Awards are an award given to those representatives of the media who have particularly distinguished themselves in the promotion and spread of the True Pizza Neapolitan culture in Italy and around the world.
In 2026, the “Vera Pizza Napoletana Champion” will be elected in Naples — the winner of the greatest competition among authentic Neapolitan pizza makers from all over the world.
An unmissable event to share the great passion for Neapolitan pizza and to celebrate together the 41st anniversary of the Association's activity.

Ripercorrere oggi i 40 anni di storia di AVPN significa rivivere una sorta di rinascimento, culturale e qualitativo, che ha caratterizzato questo periodo dalla pizza napoletana e della nostra città in generale. Un cibo povero che nato dai vicoli di Napoli si è diffuso come piatto di eccellenza ormai in tutti gli angoli del globo, grazie al lavoro che quotidianamente l’Associazione, i suoi affiliati e i tanti pizzaioli sparsi per il mondo svolgono.
