I always like visiting the oldest pizzerias. Besides the appeal of living history, they are also useful reference points to show what American pizza looked like before styles became standardized…

Best Utica Upside-Down Pizza
A ranked guide to Utica Upside-Down entries across The Slice Index.
An old Italian-American regional style rooted in Utica’s early tomato-pie tradition. Its lineage traces to immigrant bakers selling simple tomato pies in the city by the 1910s; the style later developed into a pizza built with cheese and toppings beneath the sauce, often with the tomato sauce added at or after the bake and finished with grated Romano.
