Random World's Best Cities for Pizza (17 items)

• 

  (#10) Los Angeles

  • California, USA

  Yes, Los Angeles does pizza. Yes, the health conscious denizens of the city actually eat it. And yes again, it is the healthiest version of a pizza you're going to find. Expect toppings like bean sprouts, avocado (totally California, bro), chicken breast, and exotic spices atop a crispy, thin crusted pie. And it will be a pie, because slices are just not a thing on the West Coast.

  (#15) New Haven

  • Connecticut, USA

  Clams on pizza, that's a New Haven, Connecticut staple. The New Haven style of pizza, known as "apizza", employs a lighter dusting of grated pecorino romano cheese in place of the more standard mozzarella and tends to have a very thin crust. The white clam pie, which skips the tomato sauce and instead champions the garlic and fresh Little Neck clams that top it, is perhaps the best-known product of the city.

  (#12) Miami

  • Florida, USA

  (#4) Rome

  • Lazio, Italy

  Pizza is available on every corner in Rome, and not just in restaurants and traditional eateries. On many corners, especially in the tourist-heavy areas, you can grab a slice from a street vendor whose cart is piled high with pie. The crust on these slices (served al taglio, or "by the slice") is thin and the toppings are far more exotic than standard American fare (think eggplant, zucchini, and asparagus).

  (#9) Osaka

  • Osaka Prefecture, Japan

  Japanese pizza is unlike anything you've ever seen. Also referred to as a "Japanese omelette" and a "Japanese pancake", the base of the "pizza" is made with flour, eggs, water, and cabbage and topped with anything you want which, in Osaka and Hiroshima includes fish, cheese, meat, and a variety of vegetables those in the West would probably never considering topping their pies with. But hold on, the Japanese pizza is not yet complete. After the base and toppings have been cooked on both sides, the creation is drizzled with a sweet brown sauce, mayonnaise, and seaweed flakes. Nom?

  (#2) Chicago

  • Chicago metropolitan area, Illinois, USA

  You know all about Chicago style pizza: it's deep dish, the crust is thick, it sometimes comes in a square, and it is gooey and delicious. The thing that sets Chicago's pizza apart from the rest is the chunky tomato sauce, the heaps of mozzarella, and the chewy, delicious crust. Typical toppings range from meats like sausage and pepperoni to veggies like mushrooms and tomatoes. Typical reaction when finishing a pie is the unbuttoning of the pants.
