Although regional pizza styles, such as Detroit or Sicilian-style pizza are named after their place of origin, they can be found anywhere in the states, write Dylan Moriarty, Andrew Van Dam, Amanda Finnegan, and Gabe Hiatt for The Washington Post.  

The Washington Post analyzed 7.5 million Yelp reviews to determine the best regional pizza in the U.S. to see which styles had the most critical acclaim. The authors used national data to see which styles were most popular in each state.
