Any way you slice it, Detroiters love their pizza.

According to [**SmartAsset.com,** ](https://smartasset.com/credit-cards/the-best-cities-for-pizza-lovers-2017-edition?ref=dailydetroit.com)Detroit has taken the number one spot in the United States for pizza lovers.

It’s a top spot we can be proud of.

Detroit beat out both New York City (third) and Chicago. In fact, Chicago didn’t even break the top 10.

So sad of a showing, Chicago. So sad.

SmartAsset analyzed data on 150 of the largest cities in the United States. They then looked at the data from five categories to come up with this list.
