GQ’s Alan Richman drops a list of the top 25 pizzas in the United States in the June 2009 issue of the lifestyle mag.

Richman also crafted a separate list ranking the top 10 pizza cities in the nation. Here, we come in at number eight, ahead of Phoenix and Boston:

Oh man, I need a job that entails eating pizza across America… sigh…
