We’ve got some pizza episode leftovers to share, a few side conversations that didn’t make the main episode last week, including the hottest takes about the coldest regional variety of pizza around.

If you haven't already, listen back to Episode 7 - Overdueing It Eats: Pizza, wherein we tried some of the best slices in Rhode Island.

In this episode, the Overdueing It team sets out to find the best pizza in Rhode Island. They divided various pizza places across the state among them and conquered their pies off mic, Then topped it off with sharing pizza from The Big Cheese the day of the recording. Do you agree with our pizza picks?
