Top 13 Pizza Places

According to Ed Levin's "Pizza: A Slice of Heaven", which I haven't read but should, here are the top 13 pizza places in the States. I got this list from a USA Today article, which suggests that all of these are Naples-style places, but that can't be right because neither DiFara's nor Pepe's makes Naples-style pies. Regardless, it gives me something to do next time I'm in Phoenix.

The Best

• Pizzeria Bianco, Phoenix; 602-258-8300.
• Una Pizza Napoletana, New York; 212-477-9950.
• Di Fara Pizza, Brooklyn, N.Y.; 718-258-1367.
• Nick's Pizza, three New York locations, including Manhattan; 212-987-5700.
• Sally's Apizza, New Haven, Conn.; 203-624-5271.
• Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitano, four New York locations, including Brooklyn, 718-372-8606.

Runners-Up

• Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napoletana, New Haven, Conn.; 203-865-5762.
• The Spot, New Haven, Conn.; 203-865-7602.
• Al Forno, Providence; 401-273-9760.
• Franny's, Brooklyn, N.Y.; 718-230-0221.
• Regina Margherita, Pittsburgh; 412-761-1077.
• King Umberto's, Elmont, N.Y.; 516-352-8391.
• 2 Amys, Washington, D.C.; 202-885-5700.

Interesting lists! So They think that Sally's in New Haven is better than Pepe's? Wow. Knowing how good Pepe's is, I definitely need to try Sally's now.

I would add Santarpio's in East Boston, MA to that list...

I've been lucky enough to have been to both DiFara's and Sally's.
I now live in L.A., and it's no surprise there aren't any places from here on that list.
I had pizza at DiFara's a few months ago and probably won't have pizza until I visit Brooklyn again. What's the point?
BTW, I found a great little film on DiFara's that I posted to my blog.
