If you love food, then grab some napkins and your appetite, and come to the heart of Downtown Buffalo this weekend. The 39th annual Taste of Buffalo got underway Saturday.
This Reason Is Why Buffalo Is The Pizza Capital of America
Nationally, New York City and Chicago get all the love when it comes to pizza destinations. New York-style pizza is thin, while Chicago-style is deep dish. Even Detroit-style is gaining massive popularity lately, getting its own pizza at Pizza Hut (square, pan crust-style).
But what about Buffalo? I mean, if you live in Western New York, chances are you believe Buffalo-style pizza is the best. The slightly thicker crust. The extra cheese. The sweeter sauce. The cup-and-char pepperoni. The cheese often extending closer to the crust. It s phenomenal.
Could someone argue that Buffalo is the actual pizza capital of America? Many who don t live here might think that s preposterous, but there s a very good reason why that might be the case, and it has to do with the sheer amount of pizzerias in Buffalo and Western New York.
