Phoenix’s pizza is at the center of a Southwest renaissance—led by James Beard winners, NYC transplants, and homegrown classics.
These five pizza spots top the Valley’s list in 2025.
1. Pizzeria Bianco
Chris Bianco’s nationally renowned spot remains an essential pilgrimage, with wood-fired, blistered pies featuring farm-fresh ingredients and an unrepeatable crust.
The “Rosa” (red onion, pistachios, rosemary) and classic Margherita are world-famous, and waits can be long—but always worth it.
2. Cibo Urban Pizzeria
Set in a charming historic bungalow, Cibo fires up Neapolitan pies, fresh house-made mozzarella, and creative toppings—the “Salsiccia” (sausage, mushrooms, onions) is a favorite.
The garden-lit patio is an oasis, and the wine list is top-notch.
3. Spinato’s Pizzeria
A Valley favorite for decades, Spinato’s is beloved for its sweet tomato sauce, crispy-yet-chewy crust, and loaded specialty pizzas.
Gluten-free and vegan options, plus pasta and salads, make it a family-friendly go-to—especially the hearty “Super Six” or Mediterranean Veggie.
4. La Piazza PHX
Authentic VPN-certified Neapolitan pizzas, imported Italian ingredients, and a focus on classic simplicity distinguish La Piazza.
Favorites include “Diavola” (spicy sopressata) and bianca pies with truffle oil. Intimate, bustling, and perfect for pizza purists.
5. Ziggy’s Magic Pizza Shop
A new-school hot spot, Ziggy’s is known for wildly inventive pies, giant NY-style slices, and a playful vibe.
Their “Hot Honey Pepperoni” and the “Elote Pie” (Mexican street corn) are Instagram favorites, and late hours draw a young, energetic crowd.
