Coming in at Number 78 is Pizza Delicious. Started by college roommates Mike and Greg, the native New Yorkers bonded over their love of pizza and the lack of options around their school. With no background in restaurants, they taught themselves how to make the pizza they would want to eat. Once they started selling their creations, word began to spread and Pizza Delicious grew from a small, weekly pop-up to its very own restaurant.

Pizza Delicious serves a variety of New York-style slices, including the hot soppressata and vegan vodka sauce. If you're looking for something to eat other than pizza, try some of their pasta dishes like shrimp scampi and chicken marsala. They also have prepared foods like sauces, dressings, and fresh pasta for customers to take home.

Fans can also show their love for "Pizza D" with shirts, hats, and other merch available in store and online.
