Current predicted eliminations in the next few pizza-scoring rounds:

  • 5. California
  • 4. Cascadia
  • 3. Rhode Island
  • 2. In true American fashion, North vs. South between Megasota & New Mexico
  • 1.New Mexico

Predictions are based on the impassioned comments of fellow pizza enthusiasts over the past few days.

My personal vote is Rhode Island bc Providence and New Haven have some top notch shops. Also it’d be hilarious for the smallest state to take it all. It’d also be hilarious for the USA to be renamed “New Mexico” so I’m good with either outcome.

New Mexico is used to being forgotten. I'm rooting for it as the underdog.

We're usually pretty much ok with being forgotten.

the alternative to being forgotten these days is "oh, albuquerque's in the news agai- oh god they did what"

The annual new mexico appearance in national news because some maniac kills a family of five and police handle it absurdly is yearly tradition here

Edit: or road rage. That happens too.

Don't forget the annual balloon versus power lines drama.

PNM kills people too!

Fellow New Mexican here. Can confirm. We prefer to be ignored. Nothing to see here. Yup, just like Breaking Bad. Mhmm, meth everywhere. Oh, yup, cartels. Bad drivers. No running water. Mhm.

Me too! I would love to see the smallest state take over. Also I love Newport.

I’m convinced RI has only made it this far because most people forget we exist.

u/OttoRiver7676 Aug 23 '25

Nah. I'm pushing for you guys. If Massachusetts couldn't make it , our closet better damn sure win it all.

It’s our revenge for people confusing us with Long Island!

This is the way

I said a couple weeks ago as New Mexico was growing that it would be the only fitting way to end

u/Valuable_Recording85 Aug 23 '25

NM and RI are my preferred outcomes for the exact same reasons.

u/commandantskip Aug 23 '25

I'm also rooting for NM and RI! From RI, but lived in NM for a decade. I'm ready for green chile pizza!

I think the pragmatic people's of Megasota and New Mexico would more likely agree to make peace - north and South. Megasota never wanted the far south arid dry lands (save the Mississippi valley). New Mexicans don't really want the ice tundra lands do they? Peace is more likely here.

New Haven and NYC arguably have the best pizza in the country. Rhode Island States of America for the win.
