"Oh, this is the best pizza in a cup ever. This guy is unbelievable. He ran the old Cup 'o Pizza guy out of business. People come from all over to eat this."

Yup. Jersey and Philly have plenty of good spots, the former more so.
My Italian father made the best home made pizza on the planet. He used corn meal which I am convinced made the difference.
I will look into that.
What about Chicago pizza???
Pizzeria Uno all the way!
Though I have never been to NYC and the area, and I look forward to tasting your pizza. :)
OK, how can they have Lombardi’s at #19 and not have Grimaldi’s on the list at all?
All of the best pizza is made and eaten in New Jersey.
I live here, I would know.
Any thoughts?
I still miss SHAKEY’S PIZZA!
Frank Pepe’s New Haven should a 3-way tie with Modern and Sally’s. All New Haven a’beetz!
If you're going to go frozen, you might try a four cheese Mexican pizza. It's not a bad version of regular pizza, it's more like a decent version of something else.
Buffalo NY has the best pizza.
Sally’s (#9) is better than Pepe’s (#1). Although the White Clam is truly a Sally’s tradition, the potato and rosemary apizzas are novelties that are NOT the reason people go to Sally’s. They go for crust, sauce, and traditional toppings.
Good call to include Chicago’s Piece Pizza (#10). I tried Phoenix’ Pizzeria Bianco, and was disappointed. The crust just didn’t do it. If you want a “gourmet” pizza in Phoenix, “Il Forno” on Glendale is a better choice.
It is unconscionable that the cipher “Bar” pizza in New Haven is included because they have dozens of ridiculous toppings when the venerable, legendary “Modern Apizza” (founded 1939) is not even on the list!
I would also like to put in a good word for Giovanna’s in Phenix City, Alabama. It may not be one of the 101 best pizzas in the country, but it is a great pizza in a part of the country where you don’t often find it.
I live in SE Texas. We have a mom and pop pizza place that is owned and operated by a family who moved here from Brooklyn NY. Best around here.
#97 Moose’s Tooth Pub and Pizzeria (Anchorage, Alaska)
Eaten here a few times on business trips. Considering you’re in Alaska, it’s a decent pie.
#60 Serious Pie (Seattle, Washington)
No. This place is just too fru-fru and barely recognizable as pizza. It should be #1,0060.
I found a place like that a few years ago a few miles south of Tampa. Former New Yorkers owned and operated. The pizza was exceptional. But I don’t recall the name so this post is now useless. :-)
Is this the place?
#16 Modern Apizza (New Haven, Connecticut)
The best pizza I have ever had was in Mola Di Bari, Italy.
Nothing comes close here, so I make it myself. I would love to find a place that makes really good pizza.
The form and taste of any pizza is based on the local preference.
In NYC it’s thin crust, in Chicago it;s Giordano’s deep dish. Midwest has much less garlic than I am accustomed to.
Southwest is more doughy crust. Part Skim Mozzarella vs. Whole Milk Mozzarella.
One is not better or worse...just different and feeds the local taste/texture preference.
A Slice of New York is pretty good.
