Portland, Maine’s Most Popular Pizza Restaurants Ranked by Reviews

Have you ever woken up craving an entire pizza? Not just for dinner, but for breakfast... lunch... and then maybe another one for dinner?

Yeah, I've been there. In fact, that's pretty much my mindset every single day.

I absolutely love pizza. As far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect food. It's quite possibly the greatest culinary invention of all time. Hyperbole? I don't think so.

It’s also perfect for every occasion. Whether you're cheering on your team at a ballgame, celebrating at a party, or marking a special occasion like a wedding—or even a funeral—there’s one universal truth: pizza fits every moment perfectly.

One of the reasons pizza holds such a cherished place in our hearts is its incredible versatility. While there are countless styles to choose from, there’s no “right” way to enjoy pizza—every variation is the best in its own way.

How Versatile is Pizza?

Whether you're partial to thin crust, thick crust, Detroit-style, pan pizza, Greek-style, bar pizza, stuffed crust, English muffin pizza, or even pizza bagels, nothing beats the combination of dough, sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. Well, unless it’s Chicago-style—then you aren’t really eating pizza. That’s more like a weird version of lasagna or something. But I digress.
