6 WI Pizzerias Make New Ranking For Best In Region

WISCONSIN — Six pizzerias in Wisconsin are among the best in the country, according to a new national directory of regional pizza styles created by The Washington Post using Yelp data.

“We set out to find the country’s best pizzas, from slice shops in New York City to fancy California-inspired pizzas, gathering favorites from experts, historians and pros around the country,” The Post reported Thursday. “For a more populist view, Washington Post data columnist Andrew Van Dam analyzed 7.5 million Yelp reviews of pizzerias to see which regional-style restaurants attract the most and highest ratings.”

The newspaper only considered pizzerias that had at least 100 Yelp reviews and where a substantial share mentioned the pizza style in question — Chicago, New York, Detroit, Neapolitan and Sicilian.

“We ranked them with a simple formula that accounted for rating (most important), number of reviews (important) and how often reviews mentioned that particular pizza style (less important). For most types, we limited our search to the metro area of the pizza’s birth,” the newspaper said.

In Wisconsin, pizzerias receiving at least a 3.5 Yelp rating included:
