Chattanooga was named the 8th best city in America for pizza lovers, according to personal finance technology company Smart Asset.

Smart Asset looked at factors which it claims would matter most to a true pizza-lover such as availability of pizza, how good the average pizza was, the percentage of pizza which was outstanding and how much it would cost a pizza lover to live in that city.

Chattanooga ranked 23rd in both average pizza ranking and cost of living at 3.56 and 91 respectively. Smart Asset said there aren't enough pizza places per capita to get Chattanooga any higher on its list with only 7.7 pizza places per 10,000 residents.

Knoxville ranked third on the list. South Bend, Ind., was first.
