The Ultimate Guide to Portland, Maine’s 50 Best Pizza Places

Imagine not loving pizza. It’s unquestionably on the Mount Rushmore of comfort foods.

There’s nothing like a few slices of pie while you do practically anything. Ballgame? Pizza. Party? Pizza. Funeral? Pizza. Doctor’s appointment? Pizza. It’s always the perfect time for a slice.

Pizza is Rightfully one of the Most Popular Foods in America

Pizza is also extremely versatile. While people will always get behind the style they love, there's no "best" way, because every way is the best way. Whether you've got thin crust, thick crust, Detroit style, cracker-thin, Greek style, bar pizza, bagel pizza, pizza rolls, that weird fried chicken pizza from KFC, even on English muffins, nothing beats some dough, a little sauce, cheese, and toppings.

With such a pizza addiction, it’s good to know I have so many options around. We Mainers are also lucky enough to have local chains, House of Pizza locations, and legendary mom-and-pop shops across the state. For such a small state, the variety is impressive.
