To be fair this is a very very old list dating back to 2006/2008 and these were the pizza names that came up constantly at that time - it's also only rating the shops that he personally traveled to which were predominantly NY/Neapolitan because that's likely what he was benchmarking his own restaurant against.

Can someone from Yelp or Google Maps weigh in here? I'll bet 2006 is not that old on the distribution of pizza places by age. probably not even right of median.
Neapolitan style pizza places have been popping up everywhere in the last decade. Jeff's website was one of the drivers of the movement.
It's really wild, there was Varasano's and Antico in Atlanta. Antico was huge, it was like the pizza interloper sneaking in on the best restaruants list. Now, I can't even count how many Neapolitan-style spots there are down here. And most of them are really good too!
I immediately thought of Anitco when I saw the link. Didn't know about Varasanos but I will check it out.

Next time I make pizzas on my Big Green Egg I am going to try his recipe. No need for an oven when I can fire the egg up to whatever temp I want.
