Ostensibly a ranking of restaurants not pizzas. Seems a little sketchy to me.
Our ranking is the result of the hard work of the 50 Top Pizza inspectors who, for an entire year, examined an enormous number of pizzerias located throughout the country. Their visits were always anonymous in nature, as is the policy of our guide. The first factor that was assessed was the quality of the dough and the ingredients used for the toppings. The service, the wine and beer selections, and, in general, the attention given to the customer were also all taken into consideration. In cases where it was not possible to visit the venue because of the current health emergency, the delivery service was assessed, also in this case under the guise of anonymity.
So, we are to believe that they under took a year-long test test during Covid? But when they couldn’t sample inside they got takeout? so they were evaluating sit down versus take out?
Also the word Neapolitan appears in all of their top six, which makes me wonder if there taste testing was really just the scanning of names.
Plus, I live in New Jersey. New Jersey pizza is way, way worse than Connecticut pizza, and it’s not even close.
