Pizza Places

Wherever you live, you most likely have great pizza places nearby. Some towns obviously have more options than others, but a good pizza is usually never far away.

If you live in a bigger city, and you like trying new places, then you’re really in luck.

New pizza restaurants are always popping up, giving the pizza lover a reason to try something new. And of course, it’s not always just about the pizza. Atmosphere, pizza delivery, non-pizza options (like salads) and beer selection all can play an important role in making a pizza place really great.

For example, in Denver where I live, I see new pizza joints opening on a regular basis.

There are the staples that have been around forever, like Marco’s, Ernies and Pasquini’s, but there’s always room for a newbie in town, especially one that can put a new spin on an old classic.

Different parts of the country are going to offer different styles of pizza as well. In Chicago, you’ll find hundreds of great pizza places that will offer up a great deep-dish, Chicago-style pizza.

In New York, street vendors and pizza joints alike serve up large, thin crust New York style pizza that is meant to be folded over and eaten on the run.

Go to California and you’ll find a whole other type of pizza that will include avocado’s, chicken and other “California-style” toppings, similar to what you’d find at the California Pizza Kitchen (the name gives that one away).

And then, of course, you always have the old standbys for pizza delivery such as Pizza Hut Pizza, Domino’s Pizza and Papa Johns Pizza, which grace just about every major (and minor) city in the United States and beyond.

If you’re visiting a new city, I highly recommend finding a local pizza restaurant to try out. There are so many little pizza treasures that are unknown to those who aren’t locals.

Ask your hotel or local friends to recommend some places. You may stumble upon the best pizza you’ve ever had!

Also check the list of restaurants below, which are listed by city. These were compiled to help you track down great local places in some of the bigger cities (I threw in some smaller chains, as well).
