50 States, 50 Sizzling Dishes: The Ultimate Foodie Road Trip Through The USA

Pizza from New York

Pizza isn’t just food in the Big Apple. It’s a way of life, a symphony of crispy crust, gooey cheese, and endless topping possibilities. The love affair started early. In 1905, a humble coal-fired oven in Little Italy birthed Lombardi’s, the country’s first pizzeria. Fast forward, and the city boasts over 4,600 pizza joints—that’s one for every 2,800 New Yorkers!

From the iconic $1 slice folded in half to gourmet Neapolitan pies, there’s a slice for every craving, budget, and borough. It’s fuel for cabbies, comfort food for students, and the centerpiece of family gatherings.
