Here are ten pizza joints that are DDD approved. (If you’re a true Food Network junky, you just said ‘Tripe D’ in your head.) So gas up your car and hit the road for some pizza like you’ve never had it.

Grinders
Grinders in Kansas City, Missouri is a like an art museum with off the wall food. Their Bengal Tiger pizza includes hearts of palm and tandoori chicken. That alone should make you want to visit.
Maxwell’s
Maxwell’s East Coast Eatery in Salt Lake City, Utah is a place for the whole family. Their pizza names are pretty interesting, too. Try their Eddie Would Go special that has Italian sausage, pineapple, and ricotta.

Pinky G’s
Pinky G’s in Jackson Hole, Wyoming is home to something called the Funky Chicken. That’s a pizza, not a dance. Chicken, artichokes, red onions, and ricotta on their homemade basil pesto is sure to dance along your taste buds, though.
