EL PASO
Ardovinos
5 locations in El Paso
Since 1961, Ardovinos has built its reputation on creating mouthwatering signature pizzas, salads, and sandwiches. One of our writers highly recommends The Four Seasons pizza. Also highly recommended is their Family Special that comes with two pizzas, house salad, and cheesecake.
Cafe Italia
6705 N. Mesa & 7456 Cimarron Market C1
Cafe Italia’s simple, unpretentious pizza is cooked in a handmade wood-fired brick oven. They make their fresh mozzarella and dough in-house daily. One of our team members swears by the Margherita pizza.
Great American Pizza Factory
2301 N. Zaragoza #111
New York-style pizzas at family-friendly prices. There’s always a special to be had here!
Grimaldi’s
8889 Gateway Blvd. West Suite 1200
If you’re looking for New York Style pizza, look no further because this is the gold standard in this area of the country. The first location of Grimaldi’s is actually in New York City itself!
House of Pizza
208 N. Stanton
This spot is family-owned, and their pizza, subs, and salads are created with love. Delivery and catering are available.
Peter Piper Pizza
10 locations in El Paso
If fun and games is your jam, Peter Piper is your choice. Get some yummy pizza with a side of video games for the kiddos here.
The Pizza Joint
3 locations | Uptown, Downtown, & Westside
This local pizzeria has built its reputation on quality ingredients. Even better, it is woman-owned. From the 20” pizza size, the local support of music and philanthropy, and the awesome art on the walls, you get a taste of El Paso when you visit.
St. Augustine Artisan Pizza
1831 N Zaragoza St
This East El Paso restaurant offers a variety of brick-oven pizzas, artisan pizzas, salads, meat and cheese boards, craft beer, draft beer, and wine.
Sun City Slice
3 locations | East, West, and Eastlake
There are so many options and so many specials! If you’re looking for a deal, you’ll find one here. While their pizza is great, we hear that their wings are just as good (maybe better).
Union Draft House
7470 Cimarron Square & 2040A Tierra Este Rd
Detroit-style, hand-crafted pizzas served with your choice of over 100 beers on tap. Bring. It. On. Make sure to ask about their specials too.
Marco’s Pizza
3 Locations in El Paso
Another contributor favorite, mama-owned pizza place! The deluxe pizza with garlic sauce crust comes highly recommended. Yum!
Speedy’s Pizza
Multiple Locations in El Paso
With multiple locations, this is a super convenient option. Our contributors love Speedy’s large combos when they have parties or kid sleepovers.
LAS CRUCES
Dion’s
1060 El Paseo Road & 3950 E. Lohman Ave.
It’s hard to go wrong with Dion’s. It’s a local favorite for a reason. The ranch is heavenly. And for us moms, the drive-thru is a lifesaver. Dion’s tops this list because it’s easy, convenient, affordable, and delicious.
Luna Rossa Winery & Pizzeria
1321 Avenida de Mesilla
More than one of our team members recommends this spot in Mesilla. It offers a warm atmosphere to enjoy great wines along with homemade, authentic Italian cuisine. If you’re wondering whether or not to order the gelato, the answer is a resounding “yes!”
Zeffiro’s Pizzeria
136 N Water St.
Great Italian food including specialty pizzas, calzones, artisan pastas, and more! This downtown spot is sure to please.
Valley Pizza
3100 W Picacho
A recommendation from an El Paso dad and Las Cruces native, among many others. I am a veggie pizza girl myself, but that Enchilada pizza does sound tempting! And make sure to save some room for some limoncello mascarpone cake. Yum!
