Click here for information about this ranking
Pizza is one of the (if not the most) commonly ranked/rated dishes in this country. It also has an extremely high ceiling for how good it can really be.
I've found practically every major "Top Pizza" list any food editorial has published and aggregated them into this one ranking.
This resulting ranking doesn't necessarily reflect the "Best" Pizza (that is subjective), but rather it ranks the places that are the most consistenly praised regardless of a single critic's bias.
Reasonably ranking the best pizza places around the entire world isn't really feasable, so this is limited to just the united states.
My own ranking and opinion has no sway over this list. But you can see what I'd call my favorites here.
