From two college kids on a search to find the best pizza in Phoenix to two post-grads on a search to find the best pizza in Philadelphia, we’re here to do the leg work so you don’t have to.

Check out our reviews of pizzerias around the world or head over to our recipes tab for our Four Fundamentals of Pizza series to learn how to make high quality pizza at home.

Here at Slice Phoenix, we use a five star rating system to summarize our pizza adventures.

1 star– Awful. Not worth eating even if it were the last pizza on earth.

2 stars– Bad. Significant flaws and an unpleasant enough experience that we would probably not return.

3 stars– Average. A few things holding it back, but it adequately satisfies the craving.

4 stars– Great. Delicious pizza that keeps us coming back. Minor imperfections that do not significantly detract from a fantastic experience.

5 stars– Incredible. As good as it gets. Has that special something that makes it a true pizza masterpiece.
