    Classically delicious New York-style pizza cooked in a coal-brick oven, and it's right under the Brooklyn Bridge. The line for this stuff goes on for BLOCKS.

    6. Lou Malnati's — Chicago

    Their buttery crust is unbeatable — even if you tend to skip out on pizza crusts, you'll want this one. It's passionately argued as one of the best pizza places in Chicago.

    7. Artichoke Basille's PizzaNew York City

    It has a creamy spinach artichoke dip-like substance instead of marinara and then it's drowned in cheese. Pure heaven.

    8. Via 313 — Austin

    Every piece is a deliciously crispy corner and the little scoopy pepperonis fill up with just the right amount of grease.

    11. Little Vincent’s — Long Island, New York

    You can ask for their "cold cheese slice," which is a regular slice they top with cold shredded mozzarella cheese, and it's so damn good.

    The owner has studied for years on how to make literally every type of pizza imaginable. He can make Sicilian-style, Chicago-style, New York-style, and everything in between.

    Their signature square slices have just the right amount of puffiness and their Sicilian-style pizza is AMAZING.

    It's the first pizza place in the U.S. 'Nuff said.
