Corpus Christi’s pizza scene is as vibrant as its Gulf Coast sunsets, serving up everything from indulgent deep-dish and classic New York–style slices to creative coastal combos and old-school Italian-American comfort.
Whether you’re feeding a family, grabbing a late-night slice, or seeking the best pie after a day at the beach, these five pizzerias are 2025’s must-try pizza destinations in Corpus Christi.
1. House of Rock
A cornerstone of downtown Corpus Christi, House of Rock is as famous for its music venue as its creative, top-tier pizza.
Hand-tossed dough, house-made sauces, and premium, often locally sourced toppings set pies like the “Yardbird” (chicken, bacon, onions, and BBQ sauce) and “Hangover” (breakfast sausage, eggs, cheese) apart.
Enjoy live music, craft beer, and a lively vibe—this spot perfectly blends local culture and comfort food.
2. Authentic New York Pizza
Locals flock to this hole-in-the-wall pizzeria for crisp, foldable New York–style slices and massive pies.
The classic cheese and pepperoni are crowd favorites, but specialty combos like the “Brooklyn Bomber” load on the toppings for a true Big Apple experience.
Known for speedy service, casual atmosphere, and killer stromboli, this spot is a go-to for a quick bite or laid-back family dinner.
3. B&J’s Pizza – Brewpub
For more than 40 years, B&J’s has paired its famous beer selection with hearty pizzas piled high with cheese, meats, and crunchy veggies.
Their hand-tossed dough, signature sauce, and creative menu make it a Corpus classic—stand-outs include the “Kitchen Sink” (all the toppings!) and specialty “Shrimp Alfredo.”
Relaxed, family-welcoming, and known for generous slices, B&J’s is perfect for big groups and beer lovers alike.
4. Padre Pizzeria
A local mainstay on the Island, Padre Pizzeria is beloved for its ultra-fresh hand-tossed dough, rich sauce, and fun beachy vibes.
The “Popeye” (spinach, feta, garlic) and seafood-topped “Reel Deal” reflect the coastal location, while pastas and hot subs add to the appeal.
Friendly service and creative weekly specials make it a must-stop whether you’re a local or just visiting the coast.
5. JB’s German Bakery & Cafe
A bit different—but absolutely beloved—JB’s German Bakery crafts amazing thin, crisp, European-style pizzas with a variety of unique toppings like bratwurst, sauerkraut, and tangy cheese.
Known for their fresh breads and pastries as well, this spot is perfect for those craving a lighter, continental-style pie and something special off the beaten pizza path.
