Pizza has been a long-standing favorite of Americans, with opinions ranging from thin-crust to deep-dish to the question of whether or not pineapple should be on it.

Cheese Board Pizza from Berkley, California, ranked number one on Yelp’s list of top pizzerias in the country. You might be wondering what makes this place so great. Many customers mention that the pizza is made with thin, sourdough crusts and that they only serve vegetarian pies.
The green sauce is also a big hit with reviewers. It can be used to dip the pizza in. It’s unclear what it contains, but copycat recipes suggest that it is likely to contain cilantro, garlic, serrano peppers, and olive oil.
One reviewer raves about the cheese sauce on Yelp. This sauce is simply magical. It’s a perfect blend of peppers and herbs. I regretted buying the smaller tub of this sauce immediately after my first taste. This sauce is amazing on everything, from avocado toast to roasted vegetables.
New Yorkers can be assured that a pizzeria hailing from their state has landed the second spot on this list: Prince Street Pizza New York, New York. The spot is well-known for its Sicilian pepperoni sandwiches. Yelp has over 4,000 reviews.
The pizza also features a spicy vodka pizza, a must-have for pasta lovers. One reviewer said the sauce was “exactly as described: A classic vodka sauce with spice.” The cheese was light and let the sauce shone. This is a great option for something different than cheese and pepperoni.
