Moving to the area next month and the one thing I'm worried about is finding decent pizza. We had this amazing spot near our old house and I haven't been able to replicate it. Does anyone have a go-to pizza place that's actually worth the drive? Willing to go pretty far for quality. Also open to new York style, Detroit style, whatever. Just want some good pizza.
Pizza is serious business, good call making it a priority. Where are you moving to? Depending on the city, I might have some recommendations.
Man, I feel you on this. When we moved to Denver I was stressed about finding good food too, but honestly once you've got a kid it becomes more about what's quick and won't end up on the car seat, haha. Check out local Facebook groups, someone there will know the spot.
Three months in and I'm eating whatever is available at midnight, so I'm no help here, but good luck with the move. That's a lot to juggle with a new family.
Detroit has some amazing pizza culture so I'm spoiled, but whenever I travel for work I just ask coworkers or look at Google reviews sorted by newest. People are usually pretty passionate about their local pizza places. You'll find your new favorite.
This is legitimately important. Kids judge a town partly by whether the pizza is good. I'd say check local Facebook groups and ask about neighborhood spots, not chains. That's usually where the gems are.
Finding good pizza is underrated as a quality of life thing. We moved to Atlanta a few years back and it took us forever to find a solid place. What style are you looking for, New York, Detroit, wood fired?
Where are you moving to? That makes a huge difference for pizza quality. Some regions just don't have it figured out like the Northeast does.
What kind of pizza were you eating before? That'll help narrow it down. If you're looking for authentic Neapolitan that's tough outside certain areas, but good wood-fired or coal-fired places exist everywhere.

This is the real concern with moving. Kids are way happier in a new place if you find the good food spots early. Once you find your pizza place, everything else feels more like home.
