Every state has its own tastes when it comes to delicious delivery food.

To determine the most popular delivery order in every state during COVID-19, Yelp data scientist Samuel Hansen mined delivery orders since March 16, which marked the start of shelter-in-place orders nationwide, and identified the most regionally popular food-delivery items in each state. Hansen then named one of the top three relatively popular item in each state as the state's most popular delivery order.

Here are the most popular delivery orders in every state, according to Yelp.
