This week on States of Discovery, we’re serving up a hot, cheesy slice of one of America’s greatest culinary obsessions: pizza. From its humble beginnings on the streets of Naples to its rise as a pop culture icon (yes, we’re looking at you, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Pizza Hut’s Book It™ program), we explore how this simple flatbread became the ultimate comfort food. Whether you’re a fan of foldable New York slices, deep-dish Chicago pies, or the crispy-edged beauty of Detroit-style, we dig into why these regional styles have captured our hearts, and stomachs.
In this episode, Sara and Marisa bite into everything from pizza’s surprising health potential to the sustainability challenges facing the industry. We talk backyard pizza oven trends, the rise of plant-based toppings, and how local sourcing is shaping the future of your Friday night pie. Plus, we reveal the international rankings of the 50 best pizza places in America, highlighting must-try spots worth traveling for.
