Best pizzas in America named

Most of us love our pizza - and love debating where to get the best.

Whether we buy it at a local eatery, purchase it from the frozen foods area of a supermarket or get it delivered by a national chain, pizza is a dependable, often delicious hunger solver.

But alas - which restaurants serve the best?

The website The Daily Meal compiled a list of the top 101 pizzas in the land, drawing on votes from what it describes as 46 American chefs, restaurant critics, bloggers, writers and "pizza authorities."

The result? The New York area grabbed the most slots, 30, while California took 12, and Chicago 7, among others.

But topping the list is Frank Pepe's, of New Haven, Conn., with its White Clam pizza, made with clams, grated Parmesan, olive oil, garlic, and oregano.

At No. 2 is Brooklyn's Di Fara, whose Classic Round Pie is made with mozzarella, parmesan, plum tomato sauce, basil, olive oil, sausage, peppers, mushroom, onion.

Rounding out the top three is Pizzeria Bianco, in Phoenix. Its Marinara pizza uses tomato sauce, oregano, garlic - but no cheese.
