Connecticut Pizza Trail
Connecticut is the Pizza Capital of the U.S. It's just a fact.
According to the Pizza King himself, Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, “Connecticut is the best pizza state in the country.”
But the pizza triumph doesn't end there. New Haven style pizza, apizza, is what really takes the crown. According to Portnoy, “New Haven style pizza is better than all the rest. [New Haven] is the best pizza city, not only in the country, in the world. I’ve done this in Italy; I’ve done it everywhere. The best pizza in the world is in southern Connecticut — no doubt.”
And soon, Connecticut will unveil its first-ever Pizza Trail — a crave-worthy celebration of the local pizzerias that prove why the state reigns as the Pizza Capital of the U.S.
With more than 1,000 delicious pizzerias in Connecticut, picking the best was no easy task — so we let you decide. The votes are in! Here are the Top 20 spots in the ultimate pizza state. Stay tuned for the full Top 100 trail, coming October 2025.
