A very important study was recently done to find the best cities in the US to get pizza. My invitation for said study must have gotten lost in the mail. Moving on...

The list has just surfaced and New York and Chicago weren't the only cities crushing it in the rankings. In fact, Minnesota has SIX cities in the top 250.

Pizzello is responsible for this fantastic list recognizing the best of the best across America. One of the coolest things that I appreciated about this study is they highlighted the rich diversity of pizza styles. I love me a unique pizza. Give me chicken, pesto, BBQ sauce, jalapeños, and more on my zza. Maybe not all together, but I'm not your average pepperoni girl - I do LOVE pepperoni, BUT prefer the fun stuff.
