Top Chefs Say Massachusetts Eatery's Pizza Is Among Best In U.S.

Pizza lovers! Do you know where the best pizza in Massachusetts is? How would you go about finding that out? By asking a professional, right? After all, if you're looking for an informed opinion about which pizza is best, why not ask other chefs?

Recently, Eat This, Not That! did exactly that. They asked other chefs where to find the best pizza in America. They not only inquired about the best pizza chains, but also the best regional styles.

Guess what? According to the chefs (who ought to know), there's a spot right here in Massachusetts that made the top 10 for where to find the best slices of pizza in the country.

You may disagree with their pick because, in the end, it's an unanswerable question. So many people like their pizza so many different ways. If you prefer thick, deep-dish Chicago-style pizza, then obviously you wouldn't consider some pizzeria's thin and crispy style to be the best.
