The Official GOAT List: Ranking the Greatest Pizza Styles of All Time
GoatWars fans rank New York Style Pizza the greatest of all time among Pizza Styles, with a 67.1% Goatscore.
Chasing the crown: #2 Detroit-Style Pizza (60.0%), #3 Pan Pizza (55.1%).
The Greatest Pizza Styles of All Time league is less about food and more about identity. People don’t casually “prefer” New York pizza. They defend it like a family member. Same with Chicago deep dish, Detroit-style, tavern pizza, and every other slice in this bracket. That’s why pizza debates never end.
This league throws the heavyweights into one arena: crispy edge fanatics, floppy-slice loyalists, stuffed crust truthers, frozen pizza defenders, and the New Haven crowd that somehow turns ordering dinner into a TED Talk. Some picks are pure nostalgia. Some are regional pride. Some exist purely to start arguments.
And honestly? If your favorite pizza style loses in round one, you’re probably going to blame the voters instead of the pizza. That’s exactly how it should be.
