Pizza is one of the world’s most debatable foods.
From acceptable toppings (does pineapple belong on a pizza?) to the preferred base (sourdough, woodfired, thin and crispy, or deep dish) it’s one food that will always get people talking.
Ipswich First recently shared a story on Six gourmet pizzas worth trying and it sparked a bit of debate on our Facebook page over where to find the best slice in Ipswich.
So thanks to our readers for these worthy suggestions.
Here’s some more great local pizza places to add to your list:
