I can see this one going nowhere fast….to me pizza is so subjective based on locality and regions. Narrowing it down to states is fairly fruitless, as having way to many choices and styles. New Haven/NYC (also Chicago to many) pizza certainly reigns among the best, but beyond that it is nearly impossible to narrow it down to each states best, IMHO. [huh]

You didn’t read very well.
They NEVER said that they were each state’s BEST pizza’s.
They only said they were an example of what was located in each state to be indicative of what could be found there as an example of a good pizza pie.
Read it again:
“…… we’re touring the U.S. to find truly standout pies in every state. Whether it’s regional specialties like Detroit deep dish or white clam pie in Connecticut, or unusual varieties like python pizza down in Florida, we’ve got something for every palate and every citizen in our slide show.”
They’re saying “Standout” pies, not necessarily the best pies. They’re telling you to make your own decision.
