38 FL Pizzerias Make New Ranking For Best In Region
These Florida restaurants have been named among the top pizzerias in the U.S., according to a new ranking.
FLORIDA — Thirty-eight pizzerias in Florida are among the best in the country, according to a new national directory of regional pizza styles created by The Washington Post using Yelp data.
“We set out to find the country’s best pizzas, from slice shops in New York City to fancy California-inspired pizzas, gathering favorites from experts, historians and pros around the country,” The Post reported Thursday. “For a more populist view, Washington Post data columnist Andrew Van Dam analyzed 7.5 million Yelp reviews of pizzerias to see which regional-style restaurants attract the most and highest ratings.”
The newspaper only considered pizzerias that had at least 100 Yelp reviews and where a substantial share mentioned the pizza style in question — Chicago, New York, Detroit, Neapolitan and Sicilian.
