Bamonte's has been serving classic red sauce dishes for over a century, offering reasonably-priced Italian American cuisine that includes clams oreganata and lasagna.

East West Pizza serves Neapolitan-style pizzas with Indian toppings and sauces, offering a unique culinary experience that combines traditional Italian pizza with Indian flavors.

Andrew Zimmern stated that Casey's pizza is "packed with big flavors, unique textures and fresh ingredients," calling it "simply the best" in the gas station category.

The price range for at-home pizza gear is as wide as the topping choices. On the simple, affordable end, there is the humble carbon-steel slab that slides into the oven you already own it's like a basic cheese pie. At the other extreme is pure splurge: a hulking hybrid oven that burns propane or wood and becomes the centerpiece of your outdoor cooking setup. Think of it as a pizza topped with Italian white truffles.

You may have heard "stone" and "steel" used interchangeably, but the two cannot be any more different. Of course, their purpose is the same - to ensure an even cook and concentrated heat on the bottom of the pie - but their makeup and relative conductivity differ. Stones are usually made from cordierite (a heavy-duty mineral), while steels are made from thin, seasoned metal. Stones tend to be much thicker and heavier than steels as well, which can make them more awkward to move.

The hand-stretched pies, fashioned into 13-inch rounds, can be customized to preference, with gluten-free crusts and vegan cheese available to suit dietary needs. Customers have called Diavola the best pizza in Indianapolis on TripAdvisor, with one person writing, "This place excels at pizza with a perfect thin crust on the bottom and crusty outside." Burrata can be plopped onto orders for an additional $3, but many people feel the recipes need no improvement -

Enter Di Fara Pizza, a legendary Brooklyn pizzeria now bringing its iconic, handcrafted Brooklyn-style pies straight from the supermarket freezer to your home oven. As someone born and raised in northern New Jersey/New York City, I've tried most, if not all, of the iconic and delicious slices around. So when I caught wind of the famous Brooklyn pizzeria's entry into the world of frozen food last year, I knew I had to check it out for myself.

While cruising around the Windy City, Bourdain prefaced his visit to the Morton Grove establishment by saying that deep-dish was a "midwestern mutation of a pizza" and "a crime against food." Even so, he ended up sitting down with his friend and "Chicago Tribune" food critic, Louisa Chu, who explained it's all about the fresh ingredients and caramelized crust at Burt's Place.

There are many made-up celebrations these days, but at least National Pizza Week delivers something tasty. Coming in hot on the heels of so-called quitter's day, when many people abandon their New Year's resolutions, pizza shops around the U.S. will be tossing around some deals that could save customers some dough. Of course, many people don't need an excuse to eat pizza-on any given day, about 11% of Americans do so, according to a study released in 2024 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

It seems like every year we're introduced to a new regional American style of pizza that most people have never heard of, and it's easy to be dubious about how "authentic" these local delicacies are. But Ohio Valley-style pizza is very much a real, distinctive thing. Unlike most pizza, which is primarily defined by the crust, what sets Ohio Valley-style apart is that the cheese and the toppings both go on cold after the crust and sauce are already cooked.

Buitoni Instant Pizza (aka "Tosterinos") hit the market during the late 1970s, available in cheese, sausage, and pepperoni flavors. What made this toaster pizza special was its unique toppings-catching design. Buitoni's wrapped its cheese and toppings in a protective sheath of dough, like a calzone or a foldover, thereby preventing the gooey accouterment from sliding off during while being heated in a toaster. This PopTart-esque structure made the pie round, flat, and (apparently) unforgettable.
