So where can you get the very best pizza? The editors over at Reader's Digest have scoured the country for the best pizza parlor in every state and the winner for Michigan is Grand Rapids' Licari's Sicilian Pizza Kitchen.

Located off of Knapp Street on the northeast side of Grand Rapids, Licari's Sicilian is a laid-back pizzeria and restaurant that turns out pasta dishes, sandwiches, cocktails, and meticulously crafted gourmet pizzas.

Licari's was opened back in 2012 by Lisa and Gianni Licari with the goal to show the community that the secret to great food is high-quality ingredients, made-from-scratch recipes, and attention to detail.

The restaurant offers 12 different signature pizza that includes favorites like their roasted eggplant and goat cheese, chicken pesto, and classic margherita. All of their hand-made pizzas are individually crafted from scratch.

If you plan on visiting, be sure to try the infamous Sfinciuni Pizze—a half-sheet-pan-sized pizza made with a sweet sauce and big chunks of aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
