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.

'America's Next Top Model' Winner Calls Out New Documentary For Viewing Show Through 'Woke Lens'

The 1990s and early 2000s were a very different time when it came to entertainment, especially how women and people of color were treated on television.

An infamous example of this was the hit television show America's Next Top Model, which ran for 24 seasons. There have been stereotypes and distasteful jokes circulating forever about what it takes to be a model, most focusing on dietary restrictions and infidelity, but America's Next Top Model took that to an entirely different place.

Even MTG Is Demanding That MAGA Admit The Killing Of Alex Pretti Was Completely Unjustified

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to speak out against the MAGA movement that brought her to national prominence, this time calling on Republicans to condemn the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—a weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the time—before fatally shooting him.
