10
Best Regional U.S. Pizza Styles

1
New York

In 1905, Gennaro Lombardi opened the first pizzeria in the United States, although some historians believe.

2
Chicago

Grab a knife and fork, because there’s no eating Chicago-style deep dish with your hands.

3
New Haven

The first thing to know about New Haven pizza is how to get the name right. You’re in Connecticut now, and the locals refer to it as “apizza.” 

4
Detroit

This rectangular pie is cooked in a steel pan, which, according to local legend, was originally an auto parts pan.

5
St. Louis

Many associate St. Louis with BBQ rather than pizza, but the city is indeed home to a distinct pizza style.

6
California

California pizza can probably be summed up in one word: gourmet. The toppings can range from barbecue to smoked salmon, goat cheese, and Thai chicken. 

7
Philadelphia

Philadelphia-style pizza, or tomato pie as the locals call it, consists of a thick crust covered in tomato sauce and served in squares. 

8
Quad Cities

Situated between St. Louis and Chicago, the Quad Cities of Iowa and Illinois have also made their mark in the pizza world.

9
Rhode Island

Is it even pizza if it doesn’t include cheese? Philadelphians would say it is, and Rhode Islanders tend to agree.

10
Ohio Valley

This style of pizza takes its name from the Ohio Valley, which includes parts of Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky.
