1.
The United States has some truly amazing pizza, with a staggeringly wide variety of options that should be celebrated today. That is, if you aren't in one of these 10 regions.
Here are 10 places that just don't do regional pizza the right way. -
2. Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania pizza as a whole is not too bad, but it is home to Altoona style; which means draping your pizza with sliced American cheese. Italians around the world are rolling over in their graves. -
3. Alabama
Barbeque chicken pizza with Alabama white sauce; a mayo-based tangy sauce. Could be good… just not with pizza. -
4. Rhode Island
The Rhode Island pizza strip is an embarrassment to pizza everywhere. Is it even pizza, or just tomato sauce bread? You might as well order some bruschetta. -
5. Delaware
Grotto Pizza is a Delaware Maryland chain that puts its sauce in a spiral pattern. Maybe just spread it around like everybody else? -
6. Ohio
As with most things Ohio, this doesn’t make much sense. Ohio Valley style pizza comes with hot cooked dough and sauce, designed to heat the cheese and toppings on its own. The thing is… it doesn’t. -
7. Florida
Cuban Pizza can be found in Miami and is categorized by its thicker sweet crust. Just don’t expect any quality. -
8. Hawaii
The answer is no. You know the question. -
9. Iowa
Iowa pizza essentially means gas station pizza. Does it even have enough identity to warrant a spot on this list? Maybe not. -
10. California
Get your crazy toppings, and stereotypical holistic diet ingredients ready. California pizza will deliver whatever you want… except the rich cheesy bread goodness that makes pizza worth eating. -
11. Connecticut
New Haven style just means tomato sauce, and finely grated cheese. It might not be gross, but at least show some effort!
