Philly's pizza is ranked 4th in America
Michael Klein, Philly.com
March's Travel + Leisure mag ranks what its readers call the 20 best cities for pizza in America, and Philly was fourth, behind Chicago (whose deep-dish pizza is hard to replicate elsewhere), Providence (grilled pizza), and New York.
(The editors acknowledge that large metro areas are surveyed, effectively shutting out a small-town pizza hotbed like New Haven, Conn.)
Philly also ranked in the top five of T+L's America's Favorite Cities poll for its museums and cultural attractions.
The T+L copy cited Pizza Brain, the pizza museum in Fishtown/Kensington, and used the pizza at Nomad near South Street to illustrate the Philly section in print.

Maybe #1 for "greek style" pizza. But in no way is our pizza #4 overall.— Tartan69- Some of the pizza places in south philly need to up their quality. Many have slacked off.— denjamr
- Pizza begins and ends with New York City.— Drew777
- Having lived in NYC for nearly a decade, I found NYC pizza to be absolutely disgusting no matter where you went. It's greasy, soggy, and weak crusted. — jonline
- This comment has been deleted.— Joyce Lesby.
- I remember having that as a kid, and it WAS really good! But something changed in it over the years, besides availability, and it's not that great anymore, IMO. — uncle meat
- chicago "pizza" is the most overrated food in the entire country. even more overrated than in and out burger. which is hard to do— Ryan
- Since you said it, Ill second it. Terrible pizza. Greasy pizza is not pizza. Go to Italy and they barely have cheese on them. Its incredible there. — hipdaddy
- If Ryan knows anything it's giant blanket statements, because obviously if a million people say something is great and one says it's overrated then it must be overrated. The best pizza city is obviously Scottsdale, AZ, mmmm pie with a healthy dose of racism.— ConverseB24
- Philly also ranks 3rd as the place to be shot while delivering pizza.— farley
- lmao — ghostmarine
- It's silly when people argue about food. If it's terrible food, you'll know it. The point is, anything in the top 10 in the USA is pretty good. Then again, it's hard to make a terrible pizza.— road515
- road515: If you ever get to eat one in Florida, you'll find it's not at all hard to make a terrible pizza.— flyer6851
- Sorry to hear that. Been a while since I had a Dominoes, or Little Caesars...they would fit on the "terrible pizza" list. I've always lived in the area, I probably take decent food for granted.
— road515 - Marra's on passyunk used to have great pizza. It was made in a brick oven. Also Celebre's on Oregon by Chicky and Pete's was great . Are they gone?— bevejo2
