Pennsylvania is a great place for pizza lovers. Whether you’re in a big city like Philadelphia, Pittsburgh or a smaller town, there’s no shortage of awesome pizza options.

From thin, crispy New York-style slices to deep dish and wood-fired pies, there’s truly something for everyone here.

A lot of people prefer to order from local pizza shops, which a lot of times have recipes passed down for generations.

These spots are known for their fresh ingredients, handmade dough, and authentic flavors that are hard to beat.

Chain pizza places exist in Pennsylvania, of course, but I wouldn’t say that they’re a go-to for families in the Keystone State.

Chuck E. Cheese. I can’t believe Chuck E. Cheese even counts as a “pizza chain,” but it’s officially ranked number one on the list of pizza places to avoid.

You probably remember that crazy conspiracy theory that blew up online a while back.

It claimed Chuck E. Cheese would collect leftover pizza slices from tables and “recycle” them into new pies to serve to customers.

Of course, it was just a rumor, there was never any proof that it actually happened. Still, I’m pretty sure that whole drama is what earned it the top spot on the list.
