Portland, Oregon, has the best pizza, book claims, but NYC says hell no

Nothing tops New York pizza — but some weir-doughs think they found a cut above the rest.

In April, New Yorkers were furious that New Jersey and Connecticut were crowned the best states for pizza by Food & Wine Magazine‘s latest pizza report. But there might be a new pizza king in town: Portland, Oregon. The authors of the upcoming three-volume, 1,700-page book, “Modernist Pizza,” ate almost 400 pies from coast to coast and claim Portland to have the best slices in the US.
