Sioux City’s location on the Missouri River makes it a crossroads for hearty Midwest food and timeless family traditions.
Its pizza scene ranges from old Italian legends to modern, creative upstarts—perfect for cozy nights or raucous celebrations. Here are the city’s five best in 2025:
1. El Fredo Pizza
A local pizza institution since 1957, El Fredo is all about scratch-made dough, sweet tomato sauce, and a slightly chewy, airy crust.
Their “Special Combo” (sausage, pepperoni, beef, mushrooms, and green peppers) is Sioux City classic, while the “Meat Lover’s” and “Taco Pizza” have devoted followings.
The vintage neon and homey service evoke true neighborhood nostalgia.
2. Jerry’s Pizza
For massive portions, punchy flavors, and a fun, casual vibe, Jerry’s has you covered.
The “Supreme” is legendary for its loaded, edge-to-edge toppings, but you can’t go wrong with classic pepperoni or their pan-baked pies.
Jerry’s also offers a big salad bar, wings, and friendly, fast service, making it perfect for family celebrations.
3. Mozzarella’s Pizza
Italian-owned and operated, Mozzarella’s features hand-tossed pies, mountains of cheese, and bubbly sauce that keeps loyalists lining up for more.
They also serve calzones, pasta faves, and an addictive garlic bread.
Their “House Special” mixes meats and veggies for a balanced, crowd-pleasing bite.
4. La Juanita’s Pizza
Bringing Latin flair, La Juanita’s is famous for its unique pizza offerings—think al pastor and chorizo pies, chile con queso sauce, and vibrant fresh toppings.
Their “Mexican Fiesta” (beef, jalapeños, onions, house-blend cheese) is a stand-out, as are their sides of spicy salsa and elote.
This spot mirrors Sioux City’s rich cultural influences.
5. Townhouse Pizza & Lounge
Classic American pan pizza with a crispy, buttery crust and high cheese factor. The “Super” (sausage, mushrooms, onion, green pepper, black olives) and Taco pizza are perennial favorites.
With its retro lounge, full bar, and family-dining section, Townhouse is a great hangout for everyone from game-day groups to couples grabbing a cocktail and a slice.
