What the creator captured
Joshua Weissman traveled across America to find the best pizza, ultimately crowning New York City as the winner over Chicago and Detroit. While he found deep dish too heavy and Detroit style lacking flavor, he was impressed by the perfect crunch and salt level of a classic New York slice. He teamed up with expert Scott Wiener to refine his search, switching to cheese-only pizzas to judge the 'Holy Trinity' of crust, sauce, and cheese.
