The start of a new year is not truly complete without a look back at the past. That said, we appreciated the hardcore foodies who surveyed the U.S. in order to create the following “best of” pizzerias lists of 2014:
- Thrillist: The Best Pizzeria in Every State of America
- Gayot: 2014 Top 10 Pizza Restaurants in the US
- MSN: 101 Best Pizzas in America 2014
We too have literally traveled around the U.S. (and globe for that matter), seeking out the best pies out there. So what really makes a pizza outstanding? What makes one pizzeria stand out from the rest?
Through our travels, we have learned there are numerous factors that can affect the quality and ultimately, the taste of a pizza. What kind of flour is used? Is the pizza baked in a wood-fired, gas, coal, or electric oven? How long is the dough fermented? What kind of water is being used for the dough?
The perfect pizza? Is it an art? Is it a science? Perhaps it’s a thoughtful synergy of both!
