Governor Lamont Announces Voting for the Pizza Capital Trail Opens TODAY (Pi Day!) Connecticut’s Tourism Office Asks the Public To Decide Which Pizzerias Prepare the Best Slice.

“Connecticut is known as the Pizza Capital of the United States for good reason, and our small state has many pizzerias that take the top spots in national rankings and food critics’ lists year after year,” Governor Lamont said. “The Pizza Capital Trail is a chance for our state to celebrate the independent pizza – and apizza – restaurants that make Connecticut a destination for anyone who loves a great slice and an opportunity to let visitors know where they can get some of the best pizza they’ve ever had.”

To cast a ballot, pizza lovers should visit PizzaCapitalTrail.com. Voters can select up to ten pizzerias from a list of more than 900 restaurants or submit a write-in vote for a spot that may have been missed. Voting ends May 1, 2025, and the Pizza Capital Trail will be unveiled in late September, just in time for National Pizza Month.
