Over 50 Portland, Maine, Pizza Spots Every Slice Lover Needs to Try

Nothing compares to the joy of biting into a really great slice of pizza. It is the unquestioned number one comfort food in history.

The best part is that pizza works for literally any situation. Watching the game? Pizza. Hanging out with friends? Pizza. Celebrating something? Pizza. Rough day at work? Definitely pizza. There’s never a wrong time to grab a slice.

Pizza is also extremely versatile. While people will always get behind the style they love, there's no "best" way, because every way is the best way. Whether you've got thin crust, thick crust, Detroit style, cracker-thin, Greek style, bar pizza, bagel pizza, pizza rolls, that weird fried chicken pizza from KFC, even on English muffins, nothing beats some dough, a little sauce, cheese, and toppings.
