While pizza isn’t American by origin, we’ve done everything we can to perfect and retool the classic Italian dish to the point where it is hard to call it anything but one of our nation’s favorite foods.
From thin to thick, loads of toppings to basically naked, wood-smoked or pan-fried, these places across the country offer pizza lovers the chance to experience everything that’s great about the dish now, to respect its past, and to experience the future.
We know you know a place right up the street that does it better—and you might be right—but we stuck with a few big dogs and added a couple of upstarts to come up with a list that’s a must for anyone.
