The Daily Meal: 101 Best Pizza’s in America for 2020. “These pizzas all have one thing in common: they’re delicious!”

Lunch, yesterday (you guessed it), was pizza. We tried to return to Leo, on Havemeyer Street in Williamsburg, for their Margherita Pizza and Caesar Salad (lettuce, anchovies, strips of parmesan, bread cubes) but couldn’t find a parking space, so we did the next best thing. We found one a few blocks away right in front of L’industrie Pizzeria, another favorite, on South 2nd Street. According to the above article, the slices are “so light it’s almost as if you inhale them.” I couldn’t agree more. I had my favorite, Margherita, while Adam enjoyed Burrata, which contrasts warm tomato sauce with cool, creamy cheese over a paper-thin crust.

Another place the list recommends is the original Roberta’s, in Bushwick, but, from their website, I noticed that they also have two locations in LA. We’ve tried many of their menu items and love their homemade bread and butter, Marinated Cucumbers, Little Gem Salad (similar to Caesar), and a variety of their pizzas.

If you have time, peruse the list. I’m quite sure you’ll find excellent pizza somewhere near you. There are eight more choices in Brooklyn (DiFara, Cuts and Slices, Emmy Squared, Juliana’s, L&B Spumoni Gardens, ZuriLee, Pauli Gee’s, and Lucali’s), Louie and Ernie’s Pizza in the Bronx, Last Dragon Pizza in Queens, and seven in NYC (Rubirosa, Scarrs, Joe’s Pizza, Lombardi’s, Prince Street Pizza, John’s of Bleecker Street, and Patsy’s Pizzeria).

In Orange NJ, it’s Star Tavern, and in Philly, Pizza Shackamaxo, Nomad Pizza, and Pizzaria Beddia. For family in LA, there’s also Pizzeria Mozza in LA and Newport Beach, and for a dear friend in Boston, Santarpio’s, since 1903, and Galleria Umberto in the North End. Number #1 on their list is Frank Pepe Pizzeria in Fairfield, CT. So, enjoy. I will, too!
