Southwest Michigan Pizza Joint Makes Yelp's "100 Best" List

When it comes to pizza, Michigan steps up to the plate in a big way. I mean, not every state can boast a pizza style that's named after one of its cities.

So why is it that on a list of 100 of the best pizza places in America, Michigan only has one spot on the list?

And it's not even a good one...

Michigan Gets Overlooked on Yelp's "100 Best Spots" for Pizza

Yelp is a wealth of reviews when it comes to just about any business and eatery, and they're always releasing "best of" lists. Those lists are typically determined by the number of reviews and the quality of reviews left by everyone.

However, this list of "Top 100 Pizza Spots" is according to Yelp Elites. And let me tell ya... I've got a bone to pick with Yelp Elites.

This list starts off by boasting that Detroit-style pizza is the most popular among Yelpers, and then exactly one Michigan pizza place is on the list, and near the bottom for that matter.
