Pizzas.

5 rankings across the South Bay, built from 37 scored dishes. Pick the exact pizza you want — each ranking compares only that dish.

Best Margherita Pizzas 18 dishes ranked The Neapolitan classic: tomato, mozzarella and basil on a thin, blistered crust, and nothing else. Judged on the sauce, the pull of the cheese and the char on the rim, with no toppings to hide behind.

#1 Margherita Pizza Bocca Lupo · San Pedro Square 9.0 High confidence
Best Detroit Pizzas 5 dishes ranked Detroit-style square/pan pizza with cheese to the edge (frico/cheddar lace), crisp bottom, and airy interior. Prefer a specific named pie (e.g. The Pepperoni, Detroit vs Everybody, DET Combo Americano) at a restaurant.

#1 The Pepperoni Square Pie Guys · Downtown Campbell 8.7 Medium confidence
Best New York-Style Pizzas 5 dishes ranked Large round hand-tossed pie with a thin, foldable slice — crisp-bottomed, chewy cornicione, low-moisture mozzarella and a simple tomato sauce. Sold by the slice or as an 18-20 inch pie. Not Detroit square, not Neapolitan.

#1 Cheese Pizza Slice Colosseum New York Pizza · Milpitas 7.7 Medium confidence
Best Pepperoni Pizzas 5 dishes ranked A pizza topped primarily with pepperoni (cured, spiced sausage slices that cup and char at the edges when cooked). The named SKU on the menu is 'pepperoni' — not plain cheese, not margherita, not a specialty with pepperoni as one of several toppings. Includes NY-style, Detroit-style, Neapolitan, tavern, and Sicilian pepperoni pies when those are the menu's ranked pepperoni offering.

#1 Pepperoni Cicero's Pizza · West San Jose 7.1 Limited data
Best Deep Dish Pizzas 4 dishes ranked Chicago-style deep-dish pizza: a tall-sided pan pie with cheese under the sauce and a thick, often cornmeal or buttery crust, baked long and cut into wedges. Distinct from Detroit square, New York thin and Neapolitan margherita.

#1 Deep Dish (cornmeal crust) Blue Line Pizza (Campbell) · Downtown Campbell 9.1 High confidence
