The 101 Best Pizzas in America (affirmative action for pizza?)
The Daily Meal ^ | Taylor Rock

Posted on 09/14/2020 12:32:00 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Pizza is always there for you. At your eighth birthday party with all your friends and that clown, it was there for you. During your late-night college cram sesh, it was there for you. After a long day of work, a hot cheesy slice was there to comfort you — and maybe a bottle of wine too.

Pizza is a staple of American meals, which means it’s pretty easy to come across. It can sometimes feel like there is a pizzeria around every corner, but there’s just something about a great pizza. Here is where to find the 101 best pizzas in America.

As one who recently moved to the NYC area (well about six years ago) I have to agree.

There's actually a Kansas City pizza restaurant called "Original Pizza," and the owners are from Brooklyn, and their pizza was really quite good.

We also had another NY style pizza place that was really incredible (don't remember the name,) but when the Watts Mill shopping center flooded, it closed.

I still miss SHAKEY’S PIZZA!

It was THE BEST!!!! Player piano, having the band on weekends with a banjo player, the long bench seating tables, and the window with stairs to watch them make your pizza!

Plus I still recall their lunch buffet that had the most amazing fried chicken as well!

Midwest has much less garlic than I am accustomed to.

It took me quite a while to get used to not having a garlic shaker on the tables when moving from NY to KC! We had the hot pepper flakes and garlic shakers, none of the so called "cheese" you find at Pizza Hut!"

Somebody will be tossing the dough. If not, turn around and run.

Papa Johns tosses the dough!

"What’s the best rated frozen pizza?   Asking for a friend."


Well, I don't know about that, but if you're look for a frozen pizza, and you have a powerful yen for a combination "spinach & artichoke" topping, you might want to give this one a whirl...

Imo’s Pizza outta STL is the best thin crust ever. Special cheese blend. Now that’s a square beyond compare. ....

Depending on who you talk to, St Louis style pizza is either really good (it is the ProVel cheese, sauce and incredibly crisp crust,) or as I've heard it described, "Saltine crackers, some ketchup and velveta cheese!"

I happen to love Imo's myself. Haven't been there in a while, we still had 2 in Kansas City pre-pandemic... I don't know if they're still open.

I used to like both of those but they’re not so good anymore. I now like the DiGiorno’s Pizzeria line. Of course I load them up with my own toppings.

My favorite is probably long out of business, unless someone picked it up from the owner. Pizza King in Whitaker, Pa (later moved to Munhall). Square Sicilian style with large chunks of tomato in the sauce and provolone cheese. Nothing fancy, just really good pizza. I used to buy it half baked and cook it up a little at a time to make it last.

Depends what you’re getting, but I remember generally in the $18-$25 range for a medium. I think my last pint of beer there was $6.

Back 20+ years this place made a reasonable NYC style pie.

As Anthony in Bluebloods so eloquently put it: “You put pineapple on a pizza, you’re dead to me!”

Frank Pepe’s New Haven should a 3-way tie with Modern and Sally’s. All New Haven a’beetz!

Love Pepe's - it's at least a nose ahead of Sally's.

Do you remember Tree Tavern frozen pizza in the 70s? Add a little olive oil it was good.
