One of the main reasons why pizza created and presented in Pennsylvania is up there with the best is because of its second-to-none reputation. All bases (and we really do mean that – thin, thick, all sizes in between) are covered, from those that prefer slices while they walk to those that like their pizzas with a sit-down beer or wine.
A word of advice: looking through this list of Pennsylvania pizza places is going to make you drool. Just saying.
