In your opinion which country has the best pizzas?
I'll vote for Brazil, I loooove the pizzas in this country much more tasty and delicious than any other pizzas I've tried elsewhere, I'm devouring one as I type this hehe
I'm talking of pizzas of small restaurants, not of franchises like domino's, hut, etc.
Brazil does make good pizza, especially the "frango com catupiry" or chicken pizza with catupiry cheese. I like New York pizza just as much In New York City, we call them "pies" Chicago has some great deep dish pizzas, I love them all!

Catupiry rocks huh? it's one of my brazilian vices, that and Pao de queijo (cheese bread)
I am Brazilian-American so I am familiar with pao de queijo also I would recommend the Brazilian gorgonzola cheese pizza also. I have never found gorgonzola cheese pizza anywhere here in the States

That's awesome, me neither hehe, I'm Mexican but I'm also brazilian at heart, nobody notices I'm a gringo (as they call us foreigners here) I love this awesome country I come at least once a year, and I lived here for 2 years, muito prazer
Italy. Good pizza can be found in the United States, Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil due to the influence of Italian immigrants to those areas. As for the gorgonzola pizza, it is DELICIOUS and I make it once and a while at home here in NYC. I never see it anywhere so that is why I have to make it myself!
If I could afford it, I'd fly to Chicago just for one reason and one reason only: to eat the most delicious pizza I've ever eaten. I've eaten pizza in Italy, New York, various places in South America, but, for me, Chicago will always be my favorite. That melt-in-your-mouth cheese! Where does it come from?
Best pizzas I've had were in family-run bakeries in Milan, but the owners were from the south and Sardinia, and of course Sicily.
Family-style bakeries were already dying out in northern Italy in the 1990s, it was hard to find fresh bread in many towns, by now they are probably already dead.
Even in some southern towns I saw franchise-type bread and pizza shoppes, horrible, not to mention that the young people who worked there didn't seem to know what they were doing, much less care.
Napolitan or Sicilian Pizza. In Italy. No contest. Thin base, wood oven and very simple with a perfect blend of tomato "passata" base, Mozzarella di Bufala and maybe some torn basil or thyme. Perfection is one simple package. No extraneous ingredient and heaven on earth.
What passes for pizzas in most places is to me a disgrace, at best a very place imitation of the real thing. France surprisingly does very nice Pizzas as long as they stick to the simple formula ( the tomato base is crucial IMO).
