Nominees
BoomBozz Pizza and Taphouse
1448 Bardstown Road
Louisville, KY 40204Neighborhood: Highlands
With six pies that have won either national or international awards, Tony Boombozz is the pizza parlor equivalent to a little-league baseball team on steroids.
Wick's
975 Baxter Ave.
Louisville, KY 40204Neighborhood: Highlands
Wick's is a Louisville original and an area classic. The pizza is always guaranteed to be thick and super cheesy with tons of toppings.
Clifton's Pizza
2230 Frankfort Ave.
Louisville, KY 40206Neighborhood: Crescent Hill/Clifton
With live music and great food at great prices, Clifton's Pizza is the perfect place for a family dinner. Super casual and laid back, with a wide selection of pizzas, pasta, calzones and beer.
Coals Artisan Pizza
3730 Frankfort Ave.
Louisville, KY 40207Neighborhood: Crescent Hill/Clifton
It's been a burning question for years: Given that the most storied pizzerias in New York City use coal-burning ovens, and given that Kentucky is deeply rooted in coal culture, why is it that there were no coal-oven pizzerias in the state until now?
Last year's winner
Impellizzeri's
1381 Bardstown Road
Louisville, KY 40204Neighborhood: Highlands
Impellizeri's was a local tradition for years before it closed. It reopened last year in this location with a swank dining room and bar. Benny Impellizeri is back to bring his delightful pizza to the town that made him famous.
The menu has the classic Italian lineup of salads, pasta and pizza. But don't miss the exceptionally tasty breadsticks -- baked fresh with homemade dough and bathed in garlic butter. The inside is a well-lit family friendly environment with good music and great service. Sitting outside will give you a nice view of Bardstown Road for anyone interested in people-watching while slurping spaghetti or munching on a deep dish Sicilian.
