The best pizza in 14 big cities around the US Comment By Emmie Martin MailTribune.com By Emmie Martin Posted Feb. 9, 2016 at 4:03 PM By Emmie Martin Posted Feb. 9, 2016 at 4:03 PM » Social News Il Cane Rosso/Facebook Americans can't get enough pizza. So much so, we even dedicated an entire day to it — National Pizza Day. In celebration of this important national holiday, the editors at Zagat shared the best pizza joints in 14 big cities around the US. From classic deep dish in Chicago to Neapolitan-style pies in San Diego, read on to see some of the top pizza joints across the country. Food ratings are out of 30 on the Zagat scale. For reference, scores between 26 and 30 are generally reserved for restaurants that are "extraordinary to perfection." AUSTIN: The Backspace Kristin D/Yelp 507 San Jacinto St. Zagat food rating : 27 The thin-crust pizzas at this casual Austin staple have locals coming back, thanks to its delicious sauce and heavy-handed toppings. The happy hour is a great deal, too, with half off antipasti, beer, and wines by the glass. BOSTON: Galleria Umberto Roland L. / Yelp 289 Hanover St. Zagat food rating : 27 This hole-in-the-wall pizza joint is open only until it sells out. So get there early (the lines go fast), and order a Sicilian-style pie with sides of arancini and panzarotti, which are light and non-greasy. Just remember — this North End hidden gem is cash only. CHICAGO: Lou Malnati's carlos-pacheco / Flickr 1120 N. State St. Zagat food rating : 26 No one does deep dish better than Lou Malnati's. A favorite of both locals and tourists alike, this pizzeria crafts each pie from scratch using only the freshest ingredients. Craving a slice from across the country? Never fear — they ship nationwide. DALLAS: Cane Rosso Il Cane Rosso/Facebook 7328 Gaston Ave. Zagat food rating : 26 With locations all over Dallas, Cane Rosso serves up Neapolitan-style pies with memorable toppings, from spicy bacon marmalade to housemade mozzarella. Leave room for dessert! You don't want to miss out on a s'mores calzone or cookie butter pizza . DENVER: Pizzeria Locale Pizzeria Locale/Facebook 550 Broadway Zagat food rating : 26 Pizzeria Locale might be a quick-serve pizza shop — expect your order to be ready in just minutes — but that doesn't mean it skimps on flavor or quality. Diners can choose between red or white sauce, with toppings that range from artichokes to smoked mozzarella to eggplant to pineapple. HOUSTON: Star Pizza Sam T/Yelp 77 Harvard St. Zagat food rating : 25 Details matter at Star Pizza, where the sauce is made from scratch and every pie is built to order. There's a pizza for everyone: Customers can choose from focaccia, deep dish, and hand-tossed crusts, topped with anything from goat cheese to fresh jalapenos. LOS ANGELES: Pizzeria Mozza T.Tseng / Flickr 641 North Highland Ave. Zagat food rating : 27 Known for its exceptionally crispy crust, Pizzeria Mozza is a Los Angeles favorite, serving up slices until midnight every night of the week. Complement your pizza with a selection from its impressive wine list. MIAMI: Steve's Pizza Fefika E/Yelp 12101 Biscayne Blvd. Zagat food rating : 26 If you're craving New York-style pizza in the heart of Miami, look no further than Steve's Pizza. Floor-to-ceiling graffiti makes the building itself appear somewhat gritty, but locals swear the sauce is life-changing. NEW YORK: Paulie Gee's Susan H/Yelp 60 Greenpoint Ave. Zagat food rating : 27 This Brooklyn spot is more than a mere pizza joint — it's a destination . Stop by for one of Paulie's creative pies, aptly named with quirky titles like "Porkypineapple" and "Ricotta Be Kiddin’ Me." PHILADELPHIA: Osteria Osteria/Facebook 640 North Broad St. Zagat food rating : 27 At Osteria, James Beard Award-winning chef Jeff Michaud serves up exquisitely designed pizzas that are well worth the splurge, especially with their inventive toppings like octopus and smoked chorizo. . SAN DIEGO: Buona Forchetta Michael B/Yelp 3001 Beech St. Zagat food rating : 26 Simple, yet delicious, the Neapolitan-style pies at Buona Forchetta bring a little piece of Italy to Southern California. The upscale pizza joint offers everything from classic Margherita pies with mozzarella and basil to elaborate concoctions with ingredients like pancetta and truffle oil. Outside of pizza, guests can also indulge in fresh pasta, filet mignon, chicken, or veal. SAN FRANCISCO: Gialina Debbie Y/Yelp 2841 Diamond St. Zagat food rating : 27 Gialina Pizzeria serves up crispy Neapolitan pies using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Expect fresh toppings like broccoli rabe, portobello mushrooms, and Moroccan lamb to grace the menu. The quaint spot doesn't take reservations, so order takeout or come prepared to wait in line. SEATTLE: Stellar Pizza, Ale, & Cocktails Chanel C/Yelp 5513 Airport Way S. Zagat food rating : 26 This Georgetown pizza joint offers plenty of local flavor — including a popular jukebox and photo booth —as well as fun pizzas such as the "Eddy the Greek" topped with feta cheese and roma tomatoes or the "E-27 Firefighter" covered in salami, green peppers, and jalapenos. The spot also features top-notch sandwiches and calzones as big as your face. WASHINGTON, DC: Pupatella AR P/Yelp 5104 Wilson Blvd. Zagat food rating : 27 Simple ingredients and perfectly charred crusts make Pupatella's pies stand out from the crowd. The small space fills up quickly, but the streamlined service keeps customers from waiting too long for their food.
