Food Network Crowns Popular Pizzeria as Maine’s Best Slice

While we have plenty of great slices of pizza here in Maine, Food Network recently declared one spot as the very best.

Pizza slices come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and consistencies, from thick and doughy to thin and crispy. No matter how it’s served, a good slice of pizza is always great.

So, with that in mind, how did Food Network come to this decision? What criteria were they looking at when determining where to find Maine’s best slice of pizza?

Food Network explains that pizza by the slice began as one of New York’s original street foods and has since spread across the country, adapting to local tastes and styles. This recent report highlights everything from Roman al taglio squares to classic New York triangles as must-try slices nationwide.

Now that we’ve got that sorted, which spot recently received the honor of being our Pine Tree State’s best slice of pizza, according to Food Network?

According to Food Network and their recent report highlighting the ‘50 Best Pizza Slices by State,’ their pick for Maine is OTTO. With locations in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, Food Network had the following to say about their selection:

“Hailed for its perfectly thin and crisp crusts cooked in a 650-degree oven, Otto consistently ranks as one of the best pizza places in Maine.”

OTTO is known for high-quality, often locally sourced slices, with favorites like pepperoni and the unique Masher topped with mashed potato, bacon, and scallions.

Food Network continues that the combination of creative toppings and perfectly baked crusts has fueled OTTO’s growth since opening in Portland in 2009, expanding to multiple locations across New England.
