It’s that time of year again, where we celebrate all things good: warm baked bread, topped with delicious tomato sauce, all covered in melted cheese! Yes, believe it or not, today is National Cheese Pizza Day, and we’re celebrating in style.
We’ve combed through millions of data points from over 500 cities across the U.S. to find out just which cities love their cheese pizza the most. The results are in and Nashville, TN takes the cake (or pizza) for the number one spot on our list, followed by Los Angeles, and Northern New Jersey. Curious where your city falls? See the top 10 cities ranked below.

Looks like the staple Nashville Hot Chicken has some tough competition when it comes to Nashvillian’s love of cheese pizza! With pizza on the mind, we also looked into who simply orders in the most pizza in general (not just cheese pizza) and data shows that the award for the city with the most pizza orders goes to Atlanta. Though they came in at number 23 on our list, they’re still ordering in plenty of other varieties to make up for it.
