We're kicking off Pizza Week 2014 with a map of 10 of Maine's most iconic pizza spots. Some of these have been around for over 60 years, while others are quite new. Some have multiple locations; others just one. They are spread throughout the state and offer up a variety of pizza styles.

While these 10 are arguably the state's most famous, don't fret too much if your favorite didn't make the list (but do tell us in the comments). We'll have another map of reader favorites later this week. This list is in no particular order.

Flatbread Company

The pizzas may not be traditional (they're not even called pizzas), but the organic ingredients and wood-fired clay oven produce a unique and delicious product. Right on the water, too.

Micucci's Grocery
