Pennsylvania Is Home To The World’s First Pizza Museum, And It’s Bucket-List-Worthy
Pizza. That simple word often gets our mouths watering for a slice from our favorite pizza joint. Pennsylvanians may disagree on which pizza joint serves the best pizza, but we can arguably all agree that pizza’s a PA favorite. For both a delicious pizza pie and a fascinating look at pizza culture, plan a visit to the world’s first pizza museum.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

Pennsylvania is known for its fair share of firsts, but one of the most interesting is, arguably, Pizza Brain in Philadelphia, the world’s first pizza museum and restaurant, which opened in 2012.
The pizza joint and restaurant, in fact, has gained recognition by the Guinness Book of World Records for having “the world’s largest collection of pizza-related items.”
You can’t visit (well, you can, but who would want to?) Pizza Brain without ordering a piping hot slice of pizza or an entire pie. You’ve got quite a few delicious choices, too.
Perhaps the most popular pizza on the menu is the classic Jane, made with marinara, mozzarella, aged provolone, basil, and Grana Padano. Add the toppings you want, too.
Other pizzas include the Buffy Ernst (buffalo chicken with a twist), the Barbie Ernst (BBQ chicken), and the Ollie (red veggie pie). Check out the full pizza menu.
