Hey, pizza lovers! Virtual hands up if you’d agree that Pittsburgh really is a pizza town. Well, SmartAssets, a financial services company, seems to think so. In fact, last year, it named Pittsburgh the fifth most pizza-iest of towns in the United States, behind Detroit, Buffalo, New York, and Vancouver, Washington. Here are just six ways Pittsburgh has become, at least to many of us, the best pizza city in the United States.

1. Pittsburgh’s got a ton of pizza joints.

That’s right. Pittsburgh’s home to some award-winning pizzas. In fact, one pizza parlor – Caliente and Drafthouse – serves the "Best Pizza in the World," according to The International Pizza Expo.
3. It’s all in the family.

Many of us go to pizza joints that have been around for years, if not decades, like Mineo’s, Aiello’s, and Vincent’s Pizza Park. Of course, we can also go to popular chains, too, like Fox’s Pizza and Vocelli’s.
