Brooklyn, NY

New York City is famous for its pizza slices, and visitors to the Big Apple come hungry for them! If you want to try one of the best pizzas this city has to offer, head to Brooklyn. The current owners keep their grandfather’s pizza recipe secret. In fact, they won’t even show how the dough is made.

Via 313
Austin, TX

After checking out Austin’s eclectic live-music scene, you’ll have to go to Via 313, a customized trailer behind an Austin beer garden for the best pizza in town. Originally from Detroit, the two brothers that own the trailer have brought their slice of Detroit to the Lone Star State. The Detroiter pizza features two types of pepperoni and two types of cheese, baked in an upcycled rectangular auto part pan. Customers dig the deep-dish pies and extra-crispy, cheesy crust.

Everything is made by hand at this authentic Neapolitan pizzeria in the City by the Bay.

Pequod’s Pizza
Chicago, IL

Pequod’s Pizza has been synonymous with Chicago’s favorite, deep dish pizza since the 1970s, and when visiting the Windy City, this is a must-stop for pizza lovers! An added bonus is that it’s more of a local favorite than a tourist trap, making for a truly authentic Chicago experience. The Italian sausage pizza starts with layers of cheese, then sauce, and finally sausage. The caramelized crust of cheese around the edge of the cast-iron pan creates what the restaurant refers to as a “halo” of goodness.
