North America Food Pizza

Pizza is one of those great American dishes that people simply can’t live without, and Florida pizza is no different. Sure, it’s technically Italian, but who has time for technicalities when you’re stuffing your face with dough?

The pizza here is right up there with some of the best in the country, so we wanted to seek out the very best slices (and pies!) that the state has to offer.

From classic Neapolitan-style pizza to takeaway joints with simple slices on the go, there is something for everybody on this list. And by everybody we mean everybody who is just as obsessed with pizza as we are.

We will warn you though: looking through these Florida pizza joints is going to make you seriously hungry. Don’t blame us for any drool stains, okay?
