There's a whole universe of unique pizza toppings to choose from and, depending on what state or city you're in, your pizza could be round, square, or rectangular. Even the pizza base has moved on from flour-yeast-water to using more exotic ingredients like millets and cauliflower. Point being: the insatiable appetite for pizzas lies in its versatility - but that still doesn't explain why a slice of pizza costs so much in the state of Washington.

Angel's Tijuana Tacos recently introduced its own breakfast burrito, prompting me to make a beeline to its Anaheim location one morning. A staple of SoCal cuisine, I ordered my A.M.-hour beast with a duo of bacon and chorizo, delivering a salty, smoky and slightly spicy bite. The eggs were fluffy, lacking any of the rubbery slop that besmirches lesser breakfast burritos.

Pizza in padellino originated in Northern Italy but it reminded me of the first deep dish pie I tasted in my adolescence. Modeled after a Chicago-style pizza, it was served hot from the oven in a cast iron container with a highly risen crust. The dough got crispy and browned around the edges, bubbling up to form thin edible spikes. But the center remained a pliable and tender chew.

Wooooooooo, your tablehopper is set to hella turbo right now. On Monday, I was up in Geyserville at Francis Ford Coppola Winery to be a judge for the annual Perfect Your Pizzacook-off, which featured four fabulously creative pizzas and pairings, check my Instagram stories soon to see the winning pie (three words: pignoli chile crisp!). It's always a treat to have Razza's Dan Richer in town, and our Check Please! goddess Leslie Sbrocco as the emcee.

I recommend Lloyd pans for Sicilian or focaccia-style pizzas. Coat the pan with Crisco, which grips the dough better than olive oil, preventing it from sliding back.

Matt is the co-founder of School of Dough, a wonderful initiative that teaches children in some of Cornwall's least prosperous communities how to cook; he also runs a stall called Salt Yard Pizza at the Boathouse on Newquay harbour. His pizza is some of the best in the country, not just because he's mastered traditional techniques, but because he grows his own tomatoes and basil, and even rears his own mangalitza pigs to turn into charcuterie.

SF isn't a late-night dining town. That's just a fact of life. But there are still great food options-even if those options are slim-for those who are working, drinking, dancing, or swan diving off a table while singing karaoke until late. So when you need something like pizza to offset the sweet margaritas or just want to inhale a burrito before knocking right out, head to one of these spots-they're open past 11pm.

This summer, Pizza Oliva, which had been in operation for 23 years, was sold to a local couple, Karina Rosselli and Jonathan Waite, and renamed after their dog, Ellie. In the month since it changed hands, Ellie's Pizzeria has changed the chicken wings recipe, added new menu items, created a 12-flavor hand-scooped ice cream counter and generated a perfect 5-star rating with more than 100 reviews on Google.

There's an autumn chill in the air but Boston's newest kitchens are just heating up. This month, a diverse crop of restaurants are encouraging diners to use their hands as utensils, from Back Bay's newest taco joint to Allston's 72-hour dough pizzas and signature handrolls in Chestnut Hill. The South End and downtown also welcomed new eateries, but we'll reserve a fork and knife for them. Read on to discover five new restaurants we can't wait to try in September.

DineAmic Hospitality is set to launch a new Mediterranean restaurant along the Chicago riverfront in 2026. The venue will feature indoor and outdoor seating, a private lounge, and a coffee shop.

Join us every Thursday evening for Top Chefs Thursdays at Escape From New York Pizza, located in the heart of downtown San Francisco at 333 Bush St.

Slayer Pizza is set to open in Notting Hill on 1st September, contributing to the west London pizza scene's growth alongside Alley Cats' third location in the neighborhood.

The Chicago Dog Deep-Dish will be available for 30 days and is only offered in the small size. The pie starts with layers of mozzarella, canned plum tomatoes, and diced tomatoes - but no ketchup, of course - before being topped with slices of Portillo's hot dogs, sport peppers, pickles, white onions, and celery salt. The dough is infused with poppy seeds, akin to a hot dog bun, and after it comes out of the oven, the pizza is finished with green relish and drizzles of yellow mustard.

Air fryers restore leftover pizza to its original glory, providing the crispiest crust without the soggy texture common in reheating with traditional methods.

Hannah Drye, also known as 'Dough Hands,' discovered her love for pizza in 2011 while working part-time at a local pizzeria during her university days.
