NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – New York may be known for its pizza, but it’s a
pie from New Haven, Conn. that takes home the prize as Best Pizza in
America.

The website The Daily Meal compiled a list of the top 101 pizzas in the
nation, drawing on votes from what it describes as 46 American chefs,
restaurant critics, bloggers, writers and “pizza authorities.”

While New York grabbed the most slots, 30 in all, it was Frank Pepe’s in
New Haven that topped the list with its white clam pizza, made with
clams, grated parmesan, olive oil, garlic and oregano.

Frank Pepe’s co-owner Francis Rosselli said it’s not the first time the
restaurant has been recognized for its pies.

“Those accolades are always welcome, we appreciate it them very much,”
he told 1010 WINS. “We certainly feel honored every time that happens.”

Brooklyn’s Di Fara came in second with its classic round pie made with
mozzarella, parmesan, plum tomato sauce, basil, olive oil, sausage,
peppers, mushroom, onion.
