A TV screenshot showing the 'top U.S. cities for pizza' has foodies up in arms after cities like New York and Chicago didn't even make the top 10.

Americans are having a meltdown after a list called "The Top 10 U.S. Cities for Pizza in 2024" didn't place New York or Chicago at the top of the list.

Pizza connoisseurs begged to differ when the controversial report placed Denver, Colorado, at the number-one spot.


The list was compiled by Clever Real Estate's data team, which ranked 50 U.S. metropolitan areas based on several factors, including pizza reputation, rate of pizza restaurants per 100,000 residents, average Yelp rating for pizza restaurants, and the respective average price for cheese and pepperoni pizza.

According to the results, Denver snagged the top spot as America's best city for pizza.

The Mile High City rose above the competition due to the affordability of Denver pizza for residents "based on the typical income."

"Buying a cheese pizza each week for a year in Denver requires 1.03% of the median annual income—30% less than the income required in the average city we reviewed (1.47%)," the report indicated.

Pizza places in Denver also earned positive Yelp reviews, with an average of 4.05 stars out of 5 on Yelp, "one of the highest averages in country."

Chicago and New York City didn't even crack the top 10. The Windy City ranked 14 followed by NYC at 15.

Discerning foodies shared strong opinions when a user on X (formerly Twitter) posted a screenshot of the top 10 results seen on TV.

New Yorkers weren't having it.


Despite its 15th ranking, the report claimed New York City had the "best reputation for pizza."

Roughly 41% of Americans considered NYC a "top five pizza city" over Chicago by a six-point margin, as most Americans preferred New York's thin-crust pies over Chicago's deep-dish style.

Sadly, those statistics won't improve the results.

At least according to Clever Real Estate, Denver is the pizza capital of America, no matter how you slice it.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
