The Daytripper named Urban Crust best pizza! Congratulations!! 🍕

It-za Piz-za! Continuing my BEST OF 2024 LIST and the best pizza I ate in 2024 was in downtown Plano at Urban Crust. I get hungry just thinking about it. They craft amazing thin-crust, wood-fired pizza that is just magnificent. This one had steak and pesto and mushrooms. Others had fig preserves and prosciutto and goat cheese. So it isn't your typical cheese and pepperoni kinda joint, although that one was great too. I ate there twice in 2024 and didn't have a bad pie. You won't either.
