Hey pizza lovers: you’ve seen roundups of the best pizzerias in the world, but Time Out has just revealed a list of singularly standout pizzas—pies that deserve all the accolades as shining examples of everything a pizza should be, regardless of style. This isn’t a list of where to go for pizza, it’s a list of THE pizzas you have to try. Time Out’s editors compiled this list of the best pizzas in the world, and three in the U.S. made the list.
Of course one high-ranking pizza can be found in NYC, arguably one of the best cities for pizza. A simple slice of cheese pizza can be life-changing, and the experts have determined that Scarr’s Pizza is the place to have that experience. This Lower East side spot comes in at number two in the world with its big slices made with an exceptional dough that’s perfect for folding and eating on the go.
At No. 11 on the list is Milly’s Pizza in the Pan in Chicago. The deep-dish style pizza is deemed to represent "the pinnacle of Chicago’s most iconic dish." The Untitled No. 1 features zesty pepperoni, jalapeños and fresh mozzarella. Each pie has a crispy caramelized crust, as the dough is baked with a ring of mozzarella around it.
Combining old-school techniques and trendy new flavors, Miami’s Eleventh Street Pizza is ranked 14th. The Hot Honey Sicilian features organic Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes, mozzarella, pepperoni, roasted red onion, and that oh-so-popular sweet and spicy topping, here made with Calabrian chili paste and honey.
Update your pizza bucket lists, because these pizzas are worth traveling for.
