“Wow, the Roasted Garlic Pie was elite. I'm still salivating from it. I've never been a white pizza type person, but this one was outta this world,” one customer wrote in a recent Google review. I ate the whole thing. Roasted Garlic, bacon, Mozzarella?! Chef’s kiss.

The business makes a point to respond to a large majority of customer feedback online.

The list ranked Una Pizza Napoletana in New York City as the No. 1 pizzeria in the country. Pizzeria Sei in Los Angeles and Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco tied at No. 2, followed by Razza in Jersey City, New Jersey, at No. 3 and Truly Pizza in Dana Point, California, at No. 4.

The 50 Top Pizza guides are based on the reports of anonymous inspectors who evaluate the best pizza restaurants in the U.S. and around the world.

Rankings are based on the pizzeria as a whole — not just the pizza or the chef. Inspectors consider the quality and digestibility of the pizza, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, how the wait is handled, and the wine, beer and beverage program.
