According to LoveFood and their recent report, ‘America’s Best Pizza Places, Ranked by State,’ Maine’s pick—coming in at 58th place out of 62—is Micucci’s in Portland. Located at 45 India Street, LoveFood had this to say about the Italian market:

Hidden inside a charming Italian grocery in Portland, Micucci’s is famous for its legendary Sicilian-style ‘slabs’ – thick, airy, and baked to golden perfection.

Each oversized slice comes loaded with sweet tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella, and a dusting of Parmesan, with occasional specials like pepperoni or roasted veggies.
