There’s this one calling Connecticut the “Foodie Capital of New England”:
There is another who calls it the “Basketball Capital of the World”:
There’s this one that says it’s “Home of the Submarine Capital of the World”:
But the one causing the biggest stir is this one:
Yes, the “Pizza Capital of the USA.”
People had a lot to say about it!
“As if we needed more reason to forcibly remove Connecticut from New England,” this person said.
But none quite as furious as the state of New Jersey, the self-proclaimed “PIZZA CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.”
The official New Jersey X account asked Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg if it was “legal to lie on road signs.”
The governor of New Jersey said, “You’re not even the pizza capital of the tri-state area.”
As this person said, “Ohh the government messes up.”
It seems the “Pizza Wars” have begun.
Whose side are you on?
