Is there anything more satisfying than a perfectly cooked piece of crust covered in warm gooey cheese and your favorite toppings? Pizza recipes around the world may be similar but somehow there are some places that stand out for their iconic pizza styles. If you’re looking to spoil your taste buds, here are some ideas of where to go. 

Naples, Italy

Naples is the birthplace of pizza and a must-visit for any serious pizza enthusiast. Neapolitan pizza has a thin, soft, and slightly charred crust. Fun fact: Naples is also where the Margherita pizza, with its simple and delicious combination of tomato, mozzarella, fresh basil, and olive oil, was created. 

São Paulo, Brazil

If you’re looking to expand your pizza pallet, São Paulo is the place to go. Here you’ll find some of the most unusual pizza options like chocolate and strawberries. It’s a city with no limits when it comes to pizza and creativity. 

Chicago, USA

If you’ve never had an original slice of Chicago deep-dish pizza, this is a must-add item for your pizza bucket list. Unlike the Napels crust, the Chicago pizza has a thick, buttery crust. The cheese is layered thick over chunky tomato sauce and you can choose your favorite toppings.
