The article lead:

The United States is home to more than 80,000 small-chain and independent pizza restaurants, according to Yelp and industry statistics. Pies and slices have many habitats: gas stations, mall food courts, decades-old slice shops and white-tablecloth trattorias. It’s almost always affordable and portable. As the pandemic showed, it’s our go-to comfort food.

Thanks @HeavyG as I tested the accessibility prior to posting.  Must have missed something.

Too many variables if you're cooking it at home. For example, if you live downwind from feedlots and slaughterhouses (regardless of the direction of the wind), you may love it, but everyone else will know it tastes like bs.

Well I'll stick with Lost Pizza locally. Pricey but no corners cut.

Pizza Village or Central Pizza in Lafayette. There are plenty of others, but these are my top two

Unfortunately it looks to me like they may have mostly relied on Yelp ratings to determine the rankings.
