I was pleasantly surprised by the pizza I ate in Thailand and Vietnam and was unsure how the pizza in Cambodia would stack up. I'd done no research about pizza in Cambodia prior to the trip and would only be spending five nights there -- two in Phnom Penh and three in Siem Reap.

When booking my transportation, I arranged for a 12 hour layover in Frankfurt to explore the city and, of course, try some pizza.

As you may know, it's nearly impossible for US citizens to travel to Cuba without an organized group (doing so, would require going through another country, like Mexico, although you better hope they don't stamp your passport). One type of group that is permitted to travel directly from the US is educational tours.

There were very few notable places that opened their doors -- nowhere I'd recommend you run out and grab some pizza at. Last week, I showcased all of the pizza places I reviewed in 2012 outside of NYC. So it's only fitting we take a look back at the area pizza places I paid a visit to this year.

Whenever I travel, I make it my mission to try pizza and this year was no exception. I spent three months in San Francisco this summer, so there were a lot of West Coast pizza reviews on this site this past year.
