TulaneLSU's Top 100 pizzas of America in 2025
Posted on 7/2/25 at 10:23 pm
Posted on 7/2/25 at 10:23 pm
Dear Friends,
It has been some time since our words met and that has filled me with sadness. But reunions are all the sweeter after absences. I have spent much of the past year traveling with Mother throughout the States. What a land we share. As always, I insist that we try as many pizzerias as possible while traveling. I was able to eat in 649 pizzerias this year. While it is not as many as last year's TulaneLSU's Top 100 pizzas in America, my ratings are becoming more refined and I believe that this year’s TulaneLSU’s Top 100 Pizzas of America surpasses last year’s Top 100.
Many of you will be happy to read that, for the first time ever, two New Orleans area pizzerias earned a spot here. Many pizzerias from last year fell out of this ranking, allowing for some newcomers, which will please many. Unlike our previous years' rankings, I have not had the time to type out a short explanation for the pizzerias' scores. Please forgive my lack of effort and time in this matter. I hope next year for a more extensive write-up.

I generally enjoy your posts, but the lack of any pizzas from Pittsburgh is disheartening. I recommend you make a visit in the near future and then modify your list as you see fit. I can provide some recommendations, if needed. You can also visit the best ballpark in major league baseball (PNC Park) during your visit.

By the time I got to about 239, I don’t know that I’d ever want to see a pizza again. I like pizza too.

Although his charitable inclusion of Il Supremo and bias against Antico is indefensible

Is 35$ expensive for a 18 inch pizza at St Pizza? Sorry I don’t get pizza apart from chains. Little surprised.

I found John's of Bleeker Street so incredibly underwhelming. Floppy with watery sauce. I'd take most of the pizzeria's around NOLA over them any day. Putting Il Supremo and St Pizza but not Forbidden or Zee's is suspect.

TulaneLSU is a plagiarizing hack, but to the ill informed, he comes off as some savant.
The F&D Board is better off without his long winded drivel..

I agree. One of the largest letdowns in my pizza career.
Keste also seems like an outlier here on this list.
