As part of Food & Wine’s 2025 Global Tastemakers awards, this list spotlights standout small U.S. cities for food and drink – each with fewer than 100,000 residents.

Columbus-style pizza at TAT Ristorante Di Famiglia. Photo: Courtesy of Wendy Pramik I’ve lived in Columbus for more than 35 years, ordering square-cut pies with sweet sauce and edge-to-edge toppings without giving it much thought. Around here, that’s just pizza. I didn’t realize we had a style — let alone a distinct one — until others started naming it. Turns out, I wasn’t alone. Most of the folks I interviewed didn’t know they were making Columbus-style pizza until someone told them.

From above, it strikes me as oddly familiar – not from a map, but from an Instagram reel my daughter once showed me. The island resembles a single-celled organism under a microscope – self-sustaining, each part intricately connected, every piece relying on the other.
