[ARCHIVED THREAD] - State with the best Pizza (Page 1 of 6)

Posted: 9/17/2023 11:26:54 PM EDT

I'm going with NJ (1).

Then, NY (2) - but only because there are so many pizza places.

The state that boxes way out of it's weight is CT (3). That is, some great pizza places in a small area. Mostly around New Haven.

I think the West Virginia coleslaw pizza is up there among the best pizzas in the country.

1. CT
2. NY

It’s one of the only redeeming qualities of either state.

Oddly, bad gun laws and great pizza highly correlate

Grew up in Ohio and live there now. Best pizza?
The tri-state area, NY/NJ/CT. Went to college there, have eaten pizza in Chicago, Florida, PA, Indiana, California, and definitely Ohio - but by far my favorite pizzas were eaten in the NY/NJ/CT area. Although the pizza my wife cooked from scratch tonight was outstanding.

ETA- even if CT had the same consistently good pizza they’d come in behind NY simply because so many places cut a round pizza into square pieces

Round pizzas are meant to be cut into 8 triangular slices

Chicago has some great - kinda looks like pizza - more like an open calzone deep dish. But if your going full retard on pizza style, Detroit is the bomb.

Chicago deep-dish pizza is the best pizza.

Without question CT has the best pizza. New Haven thin crust is excellent, I have a few favorite spots up north from there. Little City Pizza in Simsbury/Avon CT is a pie I constantly crave. Every time I visit family in CT it's a must stop place.

Manhattan, around Times Square.

Take the ferry over to Staten Island and the pizza is completely different.

Knoxville.
Cruze farms has the best pizza.

This is the only pizza I've ever had that gets better the more you eat it and the longer you wait.

Staten Island Ferry pizza: last time on the boat I went to the bottom to get a slice...they had burritos, not pizza.

That was 2006, don't know about in modern times.

Which ever state (or country) I happen to be in at the time.

Cause I make it myself and it is always the best.

NY, NJ, Conn. likely have the best.

Sure there could be a very good here and there in different states, but overall I say the three above win.

It sure as shit is not the casserole from Shitcago. That is damn good casserole, but it is not pizza.

Wisconsin bars have some of the best pizza I have ever had.

You need to quantify this, there's a scale for every component of the pizza;

the ingredients
crust cooking ratio
marinara ratio
how it behaves after cooking
the choice of toppings, did you overload it or not?
does overloading it vs. less change the pizza

Is it good for the first slice (5 minutes), or is it good for 45 minutes? Does it get better or worse?

A marker for good pizza, if you eat the crust naturally, it's probably good. If you leave the crust or force yourself, it's not good.

Certainly not WA, fucking place is a wasteland in terms of anything edible.

Oregon, there's some good food in Eugene.

New Jersey

Everyone who doesn't list a specific business is dumb. If you think NJ has the best pizza those people have eaten at many places with bad pizza and know the good joint.

Almost all restaurants suck ass and you all know it, that's why they have an 80% failure rate and it's not high enough in my opinion.

I don't understand the thing about states having the best of a certain food. Can't you get the same ingredients anywhere and make things the way you want? Pizza isn't really that complicated that you can't make any kind wherever you are.
