NY and Illinois (bias lol?) dominate.

“Since 2012, The Daily Meal has ranked America's best pizzas, and it's been a half-decade that's seen America's pizza landscape go from spectacular to otherworldly. It's no small feat to set out to rank the best pizzas in America, but for the sixth year in a row, we've sought the nation's best pies and slices, considering more places than ever in our quest for the best”

Good list for those traveling or vacation in the US and looking for great pizza. I mean, who doesn’t love pizza?!

 

[Fat4all]

little caesars is number 1, right?

 

[Earthbound64]

NY and Illinois (bias lol?)

I mean, it is the Chicago Tribune.


EDIT: #1 Frank Pepe in New Haven, CT
Not a chance. I finally got around to trying them earlier this year after being in Connecticut for 6 years. They're above-average, but nothing to write home about. And their pizza left-over the next morning (an important consideration) is honestly pretty mediocre.

 

[Conciliator]

little caesars is number 1, right?

they don't get included b/c they have transcended pizza.

 

[Sanjuro]

Fuck slideshows, and fuck NY pizza.

CT though...

 

[entremet]

To be fair, NY beat out IL, so I can fault them too much.

There's no such thing as good pizza.

The worst fucking opinion I’ve ever seen on this fucking forum.

What an awful, sickening, fucked reality

Anyone care enough to list them out? Not about them slideshows

[Earthbound64]

There's no such thing as good pizza.

Han No-Seoul.

 

[SeanC]

Hard to know where they haven't eaten, though.

I mean, 800 Degrees is essentially a chain here in LA. There's smaller shops with better pizza in town.

 

[6.8]

There's no such thing as good pizza.

No fun allowed.gif

 

[notsol337]

I know this list is garbage because not a single pizza with pineapple is on that list.

#1 doesn't look like a Hawaiian pizza place so it's wrong.

YUS

 

[CHC]

Holy shit Di Fara wins.

It is really good. Fun place to go too, it's like traveling back to 1960s Brooklyn.

 

[Jag]

Frank Pepe Pizza, New Haven, CT. Should be #1. Good New Haven representation at least.

Used to wait hours in the freezing cold for a white clam pie.

Nice to see Paulie Gee and Grimaldis on the list. (used to be Patsy Grimaldis but my law firm sued them and forced them to drop the Patsys)

(John's on Bleeker, lol)

 

[The Argus]

Frank Pepe being above Modern Apizza is an outage. Who the hell actually likes FP's clam pizza?!

Outside of that, not a bad list. Roberta's in BK is ranked far too high though. Hipster pizza has evolved, see Milk Flower in Astoria.

 

[CreepingFear]

There's no such thing as good pizza.

Blasphemy! Off with your head!

 

[pablito]

There's no such thing as good pizza.

You're broken

 

[hugocésar]

Whatever, I just like giordanos.

 

[captmcblack]

Frank Pepe's is damn good...but it's not the best.

Then again, I know I'm wrong because I think Grimaldi's is best on Earth.

 

[Neifirst]

Sally’s Apizza at 7 should definitely be ahead of Frank Pepe’s and John’s on Bleecker.

 

[Nipo]

Looking at what they have from DC (2Amy and Pizza Pardiso) the list must be trash. Timber Pizza is the best pizza in DC (with Vace being the best deal) and was named one of bon appetit's 50 best new restaurants in the US.

 

[Mimosa97]

There's no such thing as good pizza.

You must kill babies as a hobby

 

[GalacticToast]

I'm just happy LA made it to #13

 

[Sanjuro]

Frank Pepe's is too low.

 

[The Dear Leader]

No Papa John's or Pizza Hut. List is weak.

 

[Dishwalla]

There's no such thing as good pizza.

are, are you kidding? how can you believe this? it's like believing in evil.

 

[Sub_Level]

There's no such thing as good pizza.

Drag this poster out into the streets. Rend him asunder!

 

[whitemex88]

Lou Malnattis is ranked lower than Giordano's? Fuck that noise

 

[BatDan]

Piquod's, Pizano's, Gino's East, Giordoano's, Lou Malniati's *kisses fingers* Chicago greatness. I miss the city...

 

[norm9]

A pizza with brussel sprouts at #6? List invalid.

 

[snap]

Pizzeria Bianco is the one place from AZ, at #5.

I don't remember for sure but i'm 50% certain I had their pizza and didn't think it was that special. Was a bit disappointed Oregano's didn't make the list, though I guess I should be happy something from Arizona did.

 

[Goo]

Gino's East at #33 confirms the tasters don't know what good pizza is.

Gino's East shouldn't even be on a top 100 of pizza in Chicago.

 

[entremet]

Man, Frank Pepe is controversial!

 

[Africanus]

Lou Malnattis is ranked lower than Giordano's? Fuck that noise

My man.
I was just about to comment on that. I came back to Chicago after months in DC and immediately went to Malnattis. Near Deep Dish perfection.

 

[tim.mbp]

Is it pizza?

 

[Sanjuro]

If we all fight each other, can we lick our pizza wounds?

 

[Beartruck]

The Chicago picks are overstuffed with local deep dish chains. I mean, i like deep dish, but Uno's, Giordano's? If that's some of the best pizza in the country ya'll have some shit pizza everywhere else.

 

[snap]

Is it pizza?

that's the other problem with this list, the tasters seem to value artsy pizza as a "cuisine" over pizza for pizza's sake. so whatever that is gets applauded, but they probably turned their noses up at a good slice of detroit deep dish as too "pedestrian."

 

[Fat4all]

Is it pizza?

id fuck with that

 

[pirateluigi]

buddy's pizza way too low at 19. Needs to be top 10 at least.

 

[entremet]

The Chicago picks are overstuffed with local deep dish chains. I mean, i like deep dish, but Uno's, Giordano's, Lou Malnati's? If that's some of the best pizza in the country ya'll have some shit pizza everywhere else.

US has the best pizza in the world. Maybe Italy compares, but I had Italian pizza, US can go toe to toe.

 

[markitrons]

Tiny Robbinsville NJ coming in strong with 2 entries.

 

[Baleoce]

Frank Pepes is showing as #1 for me

 

[BurritoBushido]

little caesars is number 1, right?

My man!
