Outside of London the 13th best pizza in Europe is apparently in Chester!

I notice they say "best in Europe" or all the names on the list would be US. But its not fair since we invented it. So, im good with the list.
But when traveling if I see pizza or French fries or hamburger on a menu, I get up and leave. What American will spend thousands to travel half way around the world, not for the local cuisine but for inferior American knock offs? Baffling.

I mean yes I can get great food of any description in London, it's one of the reasons it's a Tier one city. Why would pizza be any different?

The Lido Restaurtant cheese pie in Hackensack, NJ is the best I've tasted.

Thinking of another thread. Why play this ranking game?
London's current pizza scene reflects its time and place: a wealthy financial hub with a diverse workforce, imported ingredients, and a public eager for novelty. It is not "better" than Naples or New York. It is just a modern city using the tools available to it today.
We should stop using one style as a yardstick for another and just judge the food for what it is, where it is.

I've got a few absolutely cracking local places near me.
Yard Sale Pizza - Hip Neapolitan style. Time Out tells me they have 13 branches across London now. The original was my local in Clapton E5.

Voodoo Ray's - Just up the road in Dalston. New York style. Also pretty hip. Named after A Guy Called Gerald's seminal house track Voodoo Ray. I'm also a guy called Gerald, so it's a track that has been in my psyche for a long time.

Da Felice - Rock solid, most authentic Italian pizza in Hackney probably.

Vesuvio - Proper high quality neighbourhood pizza takeout. If I want a pizza at twice the quality yet half the price of Dominos, I can walk here in about two minutes.

The Pembury Tavern - a pub with its own oven making quality pizza.
