Do you ever just wake up and want to eat an entire pizza for breakfast?

I have. In fact, this is typically my problem seven days a week.

I absolutely love pizza. To me, it’s the most perfect food ever created—quite possibly the greatest thing in existence. Is that hyperbole? Nope.

It’s also perfect for every occasion. Whether you're cheering on your team at a ballgame, celebrating at a party, or marking a special occasion like a wedding—or even a funeral—there’s one universal truth: pizza fits every moment perfectly.

One of the reasons pizza holds such a cherished place in our hearts is its incredible versatility. While there are countless styles to choose from, there’s no “right” way to enjoy pizza—every variation is the best in its own way.

What is the Best Style of Pizza? Or are They all the Best?

Whether you're partial to thin crust, thick crust, Detroit-style, pan pizza, Greek-style, bar pizza, stuffed crust, English muffin pizza, or even pizza bagels, nothing beats the combination of dough, sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. Well, unless it’s Chicago-style—then you aren’t really eating pizza. That’s more like a weird version of lasagna or something. But I digress.

As a self-proclaimed pizza enthusiast, I’m lucky to live near Portland, Maine—a city brimming with exceptional pizza spots. With a wide variety of styles, flavors, and concepts to explore, Portland is a pizza lover’s paradise.
