Top 3 Pizzas

Despite our disagreement in the particular order, I think it’s safe to say that the top 3 pizzas are:

• Modern Apizza – New Haven, CT
• John’s of Bleecker Street – NYC
• Denino’s Greenwich Village – NYC

Top Cities for Pizza:

• Tie: NYC/New Haven – the best slices come from both
• Detroit – love the style, but ratings inconsistent
• Chicago – fun to try, but not our favorite

Top Cities for Sight Seeing:

We had fun times in each pizza capital, but some visits can end with pizza:

• New York City – Highlights: Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island
• Chicago – Highlight: Willis Tower Skydeck
• New Haven – Highlight: Gutenberg Bible (come for the pizza!)
• Detroit – Highlight: none for us really Car buffs might enjoy the Ford Museums

This trip was an unforgettable celebration! May this list guide you in your own pizza-loving adventures!
