Italy does not have the best pizza. Napoli, and some of the surrounding towns, even including Capri, has the best pizza. Anyone who has spent time there knows this instinctively without having to be prompted. Northern Italian pizza really isn't that great IMHO.
Chicago however, has the best deep dish pizza. Of course it was invented there.
