If you want to try some of the best pizzas in the U.S., look no further than the tri-state area, according to a recent report by Food & Wine.
Those who live in the region already know that some of the greatest pies are made in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, but a report published this week by the magazine declared that the state with the very best pizza is actually New Jersey.
Jersey City is where you should go, David Landsel wrote, listing Razza and Bread & Salt as places that New Yorkers would cross the Hudson River for a slice.
