If I was looking for fresh ingredients on my pizza, I’d lean heavily toward the spots on the lower right side of the chart.
no category for pizza by the slice? I recommend Mesa Pizza in Dinkytown, which is a spin-off of Ian’s Pizza in Madison (which itself is a spin-off of the legendary Antonio’s in Amherst, MA).
Supporters of Red’s Savoy should try Skinner’s on Randolph Ave. in Saint Paul.
