Why I built PIZZA OG 🍕

“I have loved pizza since I was a kid. Being from NYC, I had access to the best pizza, so when I traveled the world, I was always comparing. There is great pizza everywhere, and I wanted to share it. I wanted to share my love of pizza with everyone and make it social.”

- Gregg D

Questions? Quick answers.

What is PIZZA OG?

PIZZA OG helps you find pizza by style. Pick a style, see the closest spot, and go in one tap with Google Maps or Waze.

How does PIZZA OG find pizza spots?

Tap Find my pizza, pick how far (1, 5, 10 or 25 miles), and see our spots closest first. Our spot lists, like New Haven, Regional styles and the Coal Atlas, are checked by hand on official sites and map listings. Want more? One tap searches Google Maps near you.

What do the $ signs mean?

$ is cheap (under about $15). $$ is moderate (about $15–$25). $$$ is a splurge ($25+). That is for a typical pie; city prices vary.

More about PIZZA OG

PIZZA OG (aka Pizza Finder AI) is a hyper-local guide. You say where you are and which pizza style you want. We find the closest authentic spots, show Price: $ / $$ / $$$ so you can filter by budget, vibe + real review summaries, confirm restrooms when we can, and give you one-tap Google Maps and Waze.

Why trust us

  • Style-match honesty. If a place isn't really Neapolitan (or Detroit, or coal-fired), we won't pretend it is.
  • One-tap Maps & Waze. No copy-paste addresses.
  • Restroom notes. We surface confirmation when the community has it.
  • Featured ≠ organic. Sponsored slots are clearly labeled. We never dress ads as "top match."
  • Share Review. After you eat, report back: style accuracy, vibe, restroom reality, would-you-go-again. That's how we stay honest.
