Four pizzerias made Yelp’s list of the Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S. for 2026, and they run the gamut from sourdough-based artisan slices in Brooklyn to a family-run Neapolitan shop in the heart of New Haven-style pizza country.

The list showcases the highest-reviewed restaurants according to Yelp reviewers and includes down-to-earth diners, fast-casual spots and food halls.

It also points to trends for the coming year, such as so-called “grandma-core” or “nonna-stalgia,” described as a “cozy trend” that “encourages diners to step out of their fast-paced lives for old-fashioned, slow-cooked family recipes made with simple ingredients.” Additionally, Yelp notes that “elevated comfort foods have become a round-the-clock staple, with sandwiches leading the charge after dark.”

To compile the 13th annual list, Yelp “identified businesses in the restaurant category, then ranked those spots using a number of factors, including the total volume and ratings of reviews.”

Slackwater, a Salt Lake City chain, claimed the highest spot among pizza brands at No. 9. It’s known for pop culture-themed pies such as the Tastes Like Burning (spicy house marinara, pepperoni, roasted chipotle, red onions, roasted garlic, jalapeños and a three-cheese blend) and the California Sunrise (green goddess dressing, roasted chicken, seasoned grape tomatoes, peppered bacon and three-cheese blend, finished with fresh sliced avocado, chiffonade spinach and a green goddess drizzle).

Papi’s Ohana, a family-run bakery and pizzeria in Lahaina, Hawaii, came in at No. 18. Signature items include the Island Veggie (mozzarella, Maui sweet onions, bell peppers and mushrooms) and the Grandma Pie (extra mozz, extra sauce, caramelized Maui onions and fresh basil) as well as its three-day-process cinnamon rolls.

Brooklyn’s celebrated L’industrie Pizzeria, famous for its signature Burrata Slice and signature thin, crispy, lightly leoparded sourdough crust, took the 27th spot, while Zeneli Pizzeria in New Haven was ranked No. 87. Zeneli is a family-owned spot in the heart of New Haven’s Wooster Square, focused not on the New Haven style but, rather, the traditional Neapolitan pizza.
