HomeExploreFood & DrinkRegional Pizza Styles in Photos
Statistics
A field guide to pizza by place: one photo per regional style, each showing the crust, cheese and cut that set it apart. A style earns a spot when it has a clear home city or region and a build you can spot on the plate, whether that is a puffed Naples rim, a Detroit pan edge or a St. Louis square of Provel. Italy comes first, then the American regional pies from the East Coast to California, then Buenos Aires.
