While the main research focus in the lab is phonetics, we also have a long standing research project exploring pizza places (this is not a serious research project but is almost as much fun as phonetics!). On this page we document our pizza adventures. Below are links to each blog post and a map of all the pizza places we’ve had the privilege to sup (that we can remember).
