Golden Crown Panaderia is a family-owned bakery located in Old Town Albuquerque that specializes in making gourmet pies, pastries, and breads. The bakery has been in business for over 40 years and its aroma of toasty cinnamon and sugar is legendary.
Small gem with a great atmosphere and a wonderful outdoor sitting area. The pizza and milkshakes are awesome and the green chili bread divine.

Amazing bake shop that’s well loved and visited by the locals! The workers know many of the locals by name and sometimes begin ringing their order as they walk in the door. This is my first ever bisochito (pairs great with coffee) and I’m pleasantly surprised by how delicate and delicious they are! I’d love to visit again to try their pizzas and empanadas as those looked amazing as well!

I visited this charming old restaurant in the North Valley area. They offer a wide variety of cookies(Biscochito), all made in a traditional way by the restaurant itself. These cookies have a unique taste that reflects the local flavors of Albuquerque. Additionally, they serve fresh pizzas and a selection of breads. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, giving off a homely feel overall.

Fanatic empañafas, light as a feather. I also tried a personal pizza with blue corn crust. I'm a jersey girl who's into traditional Italian pizza but once I told myself this wasn't going to be pizza, I loved it.

I think this place is highly overrated. They have some good stuff but nothing to write home about. It definitely caters to a niche market and maybe I’m not part of it. It’s definitely a cool place to visit as the building is very traditionally New-Mexican. The wedding cookies were very good.

Best pizza joint in Burque! The blue corn and green chile crusts are amazing and the service is top notch! Plus, these dudes roast their own coffee beans so you can take all the deliciousness home with you!! 🤤

This bakery is closed Monday and Tuesday so I only have pictures outside of the building and patio. See photo of posted hours. Parking is on site. When closed you can purchase items via their bakery ATM. You will be greeted by a virtual reality woman and she'll guide through the process and ta da! yumminess. See photos. We purchased NM Green Chile bread and it looks delectable! So looking forward to trying it. We will definitely be back during open hours. I'm excited to sit on the patio and munch several flavors of biscochitos. 😋

Our first time here, and we really enjoyed the experience. The guy that took our order was so friendly and helpful. We chose the regular crust but will definitely be going back to try our pizza on the blue corn crust. Pizza was cooked perfectly 👌 The blue corn biscochito has easily become a favorite. Pretty cool concept to serve pizza at a Mexican bakery!

I got inspired by a friend to try the Golden Crown Panadería. There is a lot of hype for this place. The atmosphere feels very authentic. They have a cookie vending machine outside! This place looks like it has style and taste!I bought some bizcochitos because I was here to treat myself. These are trash. I'd rather eat those icky frosted sugar cookies from Walmart and I hate those. $7.50 for the dozen and they taste watery, like I just bit into compacted sand with a whisper of cinnamon.I heard some guy say that these were the best he'd ever had and I feel sorry for that man. The chef was all proud saying he'd done this for 55 years. 55 years of garbage. 55 years needing change. 55 years of damaged tastebuds. For all the hype (apparently it was on a show), these were not very good.Go to a grocery store, go to the local section, get an expensive plastic container of Garcia's Bizcochitos. They have something that Golden Crown's don't have have: flavor. Hey, but I haven't tried their pizza or any of their breads. They could be 🔥🔥🔥 but I'm not in a gambling mood so I'll shop on the safe side. If this is your style, I hope you also enjoy your saltines and white rice too.

Really cool place with interesting pizza. I would recommend getting the chile or blue corn crust since you can get regular just about anywhere. Also spring for some interesting toppings. The cookies are really nice too, especially the blue corn and cappuccino flavor. Only thing I didn’t love was the guava empanada but I’ve heard the lemon is really good so I’ll have to try that at some point. The patio is really nice and service was really friendly and prompt.

Had the pizzas here. It was pretty amazing. The owner came out and talked to us. Very friendly and good service. The only thing is the were out of almost everything. The empanadas were amazing. Very soft and crumbling melt in your mouth. I’d 100% recommend the biscotti milkshake.

Located in the heart of Albuquerque's vibrant downtown, Farina Pizzeria & Wine Bar offers unique toppings on thin crust pies cooked in an exposed brick oven. With a cozy atmosphere and menu that includes wine, beer and pizza, this pizzeria is perfect for a night out with friends.
Tasty food with a great neighborhood vibe. We had the soup special (a vegetable soup that was fresh, flavorful and chalk full of different types of veggies), a spinach salad, and then two pizzas at half size.If you’re not sure which pizza you want to try, they offer the option of doing half the size for half the price + $1. It’s a great choice for trying more of the menu. The margherita was our favorite for sure.The spinach salad was definitely one of our favorites we’ve had. We each got a glass of the Cabernet on special and just sat and chatted with some good food. I recommend this place after a long day if you need to unwind with some friends.

Caprese salad is fantastic here. Pictured in this review is the side salad portion and not the full size. Mozzarella was fresh.Did the meat ball calzone as a pizza and it did not disappoint. Meatballs were full of flavor and the ricotta was delicious.They also had La Cumbre as their brewery of choice on tap and had a wide selection of their beers. Providing a good selection for most tastes.

Visiting town and asked the locals about a good pizza place and this is what they recommended. Called in an order to go and pick it up in short time. We ordered pizza, pasta, dessert. Everything was super good and Yes the locals know where to eat pizza! All around great place and food!

We ordered the fungi pizza and it's was freaking delicious. Best pizza we've had in a long time! And being from Minnesota, it'll be a long time before we can have this pizza again!! 😭😭 Oh we also had the butterscotch budino! Also, fantastic! We did takeout and was quoted a pick up time and might have been 3 minutes late and the pizza wasn't very hot but it was still delicious.

The pizza was so delicious. The crust has an amazing flavor. I got the margarita pizza with pepperoni and my husband got the special. The ingredients are fresh and the pizza is made to order. The service was on point. Farina did not disappoint. I have to say I do like the look and style of the restaurant. If I am ever back in New Mexico this pizzeria is a must! Candace, JD and the manager were very attentive and kind.

The Funghi and vegan special pizzas were both delicious and paired nicely with the dry Italian white wine we tried. We were seated within 5 minutes despite being in the middle of the dinner rush around 7pm, and our server was quick and friendly. We got the last tiramisu of the night which was delicious 😋. It was beautiful on the patio. I will definitely be back.

Farina Pizzeria and Wine bar is a fun dining experience for the whole family.The salads and pizza are absolutely outstanding and cooked to that nice golden brown perfection.The restaurant offers excellent choices vegetarians and vegans alike. Wild mushroom pizza is excellent choice if you’re looking for that taste of wild and it’s packed with bold spices flavors.Farina Pizzeria and Wine bar is an Albuquerque must try!

Came to celebrate a friend's birthday. Place was full but not crowded, which I appreciate during this time period. Staff all wore masks. Excellent, attentive, friendly service. Thanks for making our birthday girl feel special too.Parking lot on the side with additional metered parking in front.Love that we can do half and half on pizzas (only extra $1 to make halfsies. And fyi, gluten free option available). We loved everything we ordered: bianca, formaggio, carni, and the funghi. The olives appetizer was excellent. So so good. But what will have me coming back is the butterscotch budino! Umm... who's birthday is next?!!

We tried this place out after driving by it for months and we were very pleased! The staff was attentive, good natured, and acknowledged us right away. Our server was very knowledgeable and gave recommendations on some of her favorite dishes. Ultimately we went for a margarita pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms and they were more than happy to accommodate the additions. We will definitely be back to try the pastas and specials!

This place is incredible. The atmosphere is incredible, the staff is incredible, the food is incredible. I have never once been disappointed by Farina. It’s really challenging to find a good salad in Albuquerque. Farina has salads that are always delicious with the freshest ingredients and they have daily specials. The pizza is also amazing. It’s truly one of those restaurants that deserves all of the love.

We had dinner here while on spring break and to celebrate some birthday’s. We had the aintipasto platter to start. We also tried the pizza (amazing crust and sauce) the pasta special with shrimp (the 🦐 were wonderful and spicy, fresh, good sized) and the minestrone soup. For dessert we tried the Butterscotch Budino (my favorite 😍) the Tiramisu also very very tasty and the cannoli. The service was cheery and fun!! And the atmosphere was right what we were looking for to be amongst others also enjoying themselves and having a good time. We were so happy to find this place after walking in to a few others that just didn’t have the same feel. I highly recommend this establishment!

GREAT FOOD! My husband and I agreed the shrimp pasta is amazing and the best pasta we've ever had. The pizza was light and airy too, you can easily eat a whole one between the 2 of us. 🍕The mozzarella and tomato salad wasn't the greatest but I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes. We were also elbow length away from 2 other couples sat right next to us, but I guess you have to have tables right next to eachother in a limited space like that. Just be aware you could sit very close to other people and they'll hear you're whole convo if they're busy! The only part of the experience we didn't like. but no fault to them, glad we were able to get a table.

Delicious!!! My pepperoni pizza was cooked to perfection! It has nice thin crust, with yummy burnt spots that add a layer of flavor (you can ask them to not burn the crust but why would you do that). The pepperoni is a high quality with a hint of saltiness which compliments the sauce they use. Overall, the food is next step up to most pizza joints, the service was helpful, informative and upbeat when asking questions and ordering. They do pick up orders as well. Perfect atmosphere for a date night too.

Visiting Albuquerque and came across this gem. The Meatballs Al Forno Balsamic is amazing and tried their special avocado salad and verde salad. Pizza we ordered Salsiccia and it was really good. This is a great place to eat and the ambience is casual and inviting. Definitely recommend this place.

I have tried their pizza few times before and I was just ok but this time I had exceptional experience, crust was crispy so you can hold your slice but thin and not burnt, it wasn’t greasy and salty at all and I loved it! Now I like the one at Central more and give them 4.4 ⭐️.

The pizza was phenomenal. I ordered the meat pizza with salami, pepperoni, and prosciutto and would highly recommend it. The 14” pizza is more than enough food for one person.The service we received was outstanding, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Definitely a gem of Albuquerque.

Positively the best pizza I’ve ever had, amazing toppings on simply the best dough ever perfectly cooked. What more can you ask for!
Britincali — Google review
Cozy pizza bar with a genuine Italian feel. Service is incredible. Tables are tightly spaced, so we heard everything our neighbor table had to say. A great menu with options for everyone (including GF pizza dough). Funghi Pizza crust was delish (especially with the cream sauce), but the onion overpowered the flavor (and I love onion). Be sure to tip your car attendant outside.

I recently visited Farina Pizzeria while in Albuquerque from out of state, and what an incredible find it was! My dining experience here was nothing short of exceptional. The ambiance was inviting, and the food was simply outstanding.Our server, Jennifer, was phenomenal. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she truly enhanced our dining experience with her warm and professional service.We ordered the Verde Salad, New Yorker pizza, and the Meatball pizza. Each dish was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The flavors were perfectly balanced, making each bite a delight.I also appreciated the restaurant’s commitment to staff health and well-being, which was evident in their policies. It's clear that Farina Pizzeria not only cares about providing excellent food and service but also about taking care of their team.If you're in Albuquerque, I highly recommend stopping by Farina Pizzeria. It was one of the highlights of my trip, and I look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you, Jennifer, and the entire Farina Pizzeria team for a wonderful dining experience!

Il Vicino Wood Oven Pizza is a popular neighborhood eatery in Nob Hill which specializes in traditional pizzas, pastas and salads, as well as beer and wine. The restaurant is headed up by Chef Tom White who takes pride in delivering hand-made pizzas with a thin and delicate crust thanks to the wood-fired oven.
The pizza is perf and for great price. The the Chile oil is a must. The place had a nice atmosphere and the staff was nice. The crust is just right!

We just moved here and we are so happy to have come across this place! We’ve officially found our new fav spot!We dined in and got 3 different pizzas and a glass of wine (Cab, from CA - DELICIOUS btw). All pizzas tasted great, but out of the 3, the veggie was was the absolute best and most flavorful! It has artichoke and I believe is Alfredo based, but it is to die for! I am excited to go back and try more!All of the staff were friendly and attentive. You can tell just by being inside that this is a well run place. We really felt taken care of here!

I am shocked that this was only $11. I ordered the "trufalino" pizza and it was so delicious. I usually don't order mushrooms at a pizza place because oftentimes they use old rotten ones and it's gross. But these were very fresh and tasted great. I also really love that they give you chili oil and REAL PARMESAN on the side, both of which are very tasty. The prices are great for the quality you get. And the crust is good too. Good vegetarian options.

Well this evening I decided it was time to grab some Italian food so I did a search and found that IL VICINO (Italian for “The Nearby/The Near) was nearby! The reviews seemed very positive so I ventured out and although being Sicilian I rarely try and eat Italian out, I was pleasantly surprised. No one can compare to one’s mothers sauce but it was tasty in the style it was made in. I ordered a vegetarian calzone and to see if this place was legit, a cannoli! The food I did enjoy, my only criticism was that the dessert came out before the main meal. The ingredients in the calzone were fresh and it was well made with a proper thin crust surrounding the filling. The diners at the table next to me invited me to try the Olio Picante, a chile infused oil and it was great on the calzone! The cannoli was properly made with the filling piped in when ordered and presented, thereby insuring a crispy and not soggy shell! The cheese filling was nicely sweetened and the chocolate sauce over the middle was a nice addition. Enjoyed both the food, great service and casual atmosphere! Don’t miss this one when in Albuquerque!

Oh my gosh, where do I begin?! Super cute place. Very well decorated. We chose a "build your own pizza" with pepperoni, sausage and green chile. The pizzas are 10" so they are about 6 slices, enough for 2 adults. We ordered bread as well which was served with marinara sauce (5 pieces of bread, wish it was more). Pizza came out and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had!!! They don't have ranch but our server recommended their creamy parmesan sauce. WHOA! SUPER GOOD! They have a spicy oil on the table which is a MUST TRY! The oil was good with our bread as well as putting on the pizza. Our cannoli's came out after we finished eating and those were perfect too! Service was great. Food was delicious. I cannot wait to go back to Albuquerque to eat here again. I see now why they have wonderful reviews =D Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

I don't know why I stopped by this place three separate times, I guess it's just wishful thinking and optimism, but the customer service here is absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!I stopped by just now and was immediately told, "We don't open til 11" with attitude from the dude at the bar. I just wanted a water anyway. I then responded with, "Oh, that's fine. Out of curiosity though, if y'all don't open till 11, why have the front door open and chairs out?" to which his response was, "So we can get in" and then immediately turned around. I was simply asking out of curiosity and for safety reasons, but instead I was greeted with attitude and despise.This is NOT the first time I've been given horrible service here. Why I've tried three times is beyond me given the pizza is a solid 6/10. I just won't come here ever again.

Stopped by here because my husband wanted some pizza… I wasn’t even hungry. But the eggplant panini caught my eye and I thought, well, I’ll try it. SO GLAD I DID! That was probably the best sandwich I’ve ever had! The flavors were perfectly balanced, the bread perfectly toasted yet chewy, and everything was SO fresh! I’m embarrassed to say I ate the whole thing! They serve it with a little side salad that was dressed with a delicious vinegar tasting creamy Italian…. Perfection!Oh yeah - my husband got a pizza and it was great too… but that sandwich…. Will be back soon!

This might be one of the best wood oven pizzas Ive ever had! The crust is light and airy, the cheese and sauce are both seasoned. The spicy oil is the perfect level of spice even for me who can’t handle spicy things. I would definitely come again whenever I’m in ABQ! The service and prices were both great as well.

Today I change my Mind: I will never order delivery from Il Vicino because you will get a small amount or portions, I order twice in 2 months for delivery the Calzone and paid full order and got the half this kind of trick only damage the local business image and wouldn’t not ignore it take care of your customers because we take care of our local businesses by promoting and praising good restaurants and good food so other foodies enjoy locals and visitors alike so I posted my opinion months ago:This local Vicino is being my confidant when Im craving Pizza for the last 20 years !, their unique Calzone’s meat or veggie with many ingredients to add and make your own tasty version ! Order to go or dine in!, a very very decent tap beer to choose form local breweries and around New Mexico, they used to have their own brewery and that’s how we become friends of this great local Restaurant please take care of your employees and your customers we like to recommend local business has unique like your brick oven Pizza joint!
Victor G — Google review
While Dion’s reigns supreme for my takeout nights, Il Vicino holds a special place for those evenings when I want to sit back and savor every bite.My usual? It starts with the #37 burrata salad - a fresh mix of arugula, creamy burrata, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It’s like a love letter to burrata on a plate. Pair it with a glass of red wine, or better yet, a shared bottle, and you’re setting the stage for a delightful meal.Pizza here is a serious affair. The wood oven pizzas are a testament to their craft. I often oscillate between the classics and adventurous options. The 01 Margherita is a timeless choice, simple yet perfect. But then, there are the mushroom-loaded masterpieces - the 08 Angeli and 10 Tartufo. Each offers a unique blend of flavors that make choosing just one the hardest part of the visit.

Damn good pizza here. Awesome staff and cool atmosphere. Will definitely come back. Food is quick and portions are pretty fair for the price. Only thing is the crust is too much dough. So you get less toppings.

Thought I would take my beautiful lady there for pizza as I’ve heard some good things about it. First problem, when we get there the air conditioning is not working. Keep in mind, in Albuquerque right now it’s 97° out. They had fans going, which helped a little bit but not much. The wine we ordered was warm, considering as white wine, that’s not very pleasant. My pizza was not good. The main problem was the dough was not cooked all the way through. I mean this is a pizza place, right? Come on guys you can do better.Update - telling me that you can do better doesn’t fix the problem of the fact that you served me raw dough

Amore is a pizzeria in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico that serves up some of the best pizza in town. They have a certified Neapolitan oven and use only the finest ingredients to make their pizza. Their menu features a variety of specialty pies, all of which are topped with fresh and delicious ingredients. Whether you're in the mood for a classic tomato pie or something more unique like their Duke topped with truffle cream sauce, Amore has something sure to please.
My daughter and I stopped in while passing through Albuquerque. She was craving pizza and searched up gluten free pizza. She liked the reviews so we made the stop. It did not disappoint.

Good wood fire artisanal pizza. We got the trophies of the garden, which was extremely good pairing. We also got a build your own with mushrooms and bell peppers, this one was a little flat especially compared to the other pizza.

Neopolitan style did not disappoint. I always judge a pizza by its crust, foremost. Theirs was lightly blackened on the outside, lightly chewy on the inside, ever so slightly sweet... right amount of sauce (flavorful, not overloaded), and their housemade fresh mozzarella was 😙🤌🏼

I tried Amore Pizza on a friend's recommendation. It was a unique layout with other businesses in conex boxes surrounding it. I had the Margherita, Amore United and meatball sliders. I would suggest Margherita, the food was good and the portions were small.

We went to this location for the food court so everyone in our party could get what they wanted. We ordered 3 gluten free pizzas from Amore. One came out quickly, the other 2 came out over 30 minutes later. Their excuse was that other pizzas had to be prioritized....and when they finally came out one had a giant hole in the middle and the pizza was pretty much destroyed. Mind you, each pizza was about $20. And they asked me if I was ok with the destroyed pizza....really? For $20? They were also pathetically small. I got a refund and 3 of the 5 people in our party didn't get food. I will never order there again. Child size gluten free pizza served up with a side of bad service.
Teresa E — Google review
I'll start by saying their pizza is AMAZING. Best gluten free pizza I've ever had, hands down. I'm celiac and haven't ever gotten sick from a gf pizza here. My grandson is gluten free and dairy free, and this is the only place he can eat pizza in town. The rest of my family eat the nonGF pizza and enjoy it a lot too. Ingredients and flavors are amazing!!Their delivery service, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired. Self Lane seems to fairly regularly not send orders through, so often the driver gets to the restaurant to pick up the order and it's not even started. And then I feel like I need to tip more as they sit there waiting for it to cook. Sometimes gluten free options are just missing completely. Sometimes they don't notice the GF note (required when the GF option is missing). I've actually been sent non-GF pizza and took a bite (huge no-no for me) before I realized it wasn't GF. I've also been sent fewer pizzas then I ordered as the order goes through wrong from self lane. There are times when it takes over 2 hours to get a pizza that Self Lane says will be there in 45 minutes. When I'm paying over $100 for 4+ pizzas, it's super frustrating to wait and wait and wait and .... you get the idea.So, try the pizza, but dine in, or order for pickup via the phone. They are always super nice on the phone and get the orders right.

We have come here 3 times in 3 days because the pizza is just that delicious. 10 out of 10 for Gluten free pizzas! The intensity and variety of flavors give you a new experience every time you order. We had one of our orders take out and the customer service experience was everything it should be. Straightforward accurate timing on pick up times. Will definitely come again, will try another style, will recommend.

Stopped by ABQ NM for a night and found this hidden germ!Pizza were great & closed to some of the ones we had in Italy!! :)The dough has good amount of chew, tomato sauce and mozzarella are really really good, though I prefer less salty but it really is a personal preference. Can’t complain!The lady who took the order and packed our pizza were super nice and quick in service! Thank you for making good pizza with care.Margherita - 10/10Imperatore - 9/10Service -11/10

Too expensive for the quality of food. The sauce was on some slices as well as the cheese. I felt like I was eating bread dipped in cheese or sauce. Gluten free pizza no taste. Will not go back to pay 76$ for 5 personal pizzas.

This is our favorite local pizza. We had an outstanding experience today. We ordered online, while waiting for our pizza, the worker came out and told us that they were having an issue with the oven and were going to refund our order because the pizzas didn’t cook to their standards. They also gave us the pizzas. They were a little lighter and took a little longer than expected but still tasted great!

Ordered a sausage pizza and this is what they gave us. I then asked the “manager” how they measured the sausage and was told they use a “ handful”. Manager didn’t seem to care about the end result of his product or customer . End result is don’t go here.!

If you’re looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza in ABQ, look no further. This is the place — it’s actually the only place in ABQ that is “Neapolitan certified.” Amore’s ingredients are top-notch and the quality is consistent. My go to pizza is a Noni’s Maestro Pie (highly recommend) which I get at least once a month, and it is always incredible. The crust is delicious — doughy yet crispy, and flavor is unmatched. Truly worth every penny.

So. Good. Placed a phone order on Saturday afternoon and it was ready it less than 15 minutes. Good thing because we were hangry. I got the Margherita with added green chile and subbed vegan mozzarella (costs extra-but worth it). Perfect sauce to crust ratio, the vegan cheese was the good kind that tastes yummy and melts, spicy chile, not greasy, and the fresh basil was superb! My bf got the Jefe Pepe and he was raving about it. I’ll be thinking about this pizza for the rest of the day lol

Had a salad here today. The taste was alright, nothing to write mother about. However, the size of the salad was ridiculously small for the price. The price was $8.00 and it was no more than a cup of lettuce. Not worth the price or my time.

I came in for my first time and all of the employees were friendly and happy to give their recommendations. I tried the Zia, and at first was thinking " corn on a pizza?" Well let me tell you, it was EXCELLENT. So refreshing and the mixture of white sauce, mozzarella and green chile came out very tasty. Come in for the lunch combo. Its a 9 inch pizza with a salad for 9 bucks! I upgraded mine and got the Mew Mexican Specialty and it was 10.75 with a bottled water no charge! Loved that detail. Also, I came in at about 1:30pm and found the whole living room area upstairs in green jeans empty so I was able to peacefully enjoy my lunch. I would recommend this place for anyone who is seeking a delicious pizza for a good price.

Ordered the “Imperatore” and “Trophies of the Garden” speciality pizzas. The pizza was a bit too thin for our liking. The “Imperatore” pizza with cream sauce was pretty flavorful because the prosciutto, but the “Trophies of Garden” pizza was a bit bland. A bit pricey but service was fast and good.

The "gluten free pizza" is not gluten free. They take the gluten free dough and immediately roll it around in the WHEAT flour they're using for the regular crust. They can't even claim "risk of cross contamination". It's flat out not gluten free when you are blending it with an incredibly large amount of wheat flour. I got sick the first time because they "accidentally made it with regular flour." Based on reviews, I decided to give them one more try and that's when I realized they're not even trying to keep massive amounts of wheat out of it. I actually have a wheat allergy and was incredibly sick both times. It's not just unethical to have these practices and claim gluten free, pretty sure it's illegal. I'll be letting my GF friends and everyone I know with allergies/celiac to stay far, far away from this restaurant. Domino's is sub par pizza and even THEY have a separate table in the kitchen for their gluten free. I've never gotten sick off theirs. It's beyond disappointing when a "gourmet pizza" place is trounced by DOMINOS.

Pizza restaurant
Dion's Pizza is a beloved local favorite in Albuquerque, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and famous ranch dressing. The large pizzas with pepperoni and green chile are particularly popular, especially when paired with the signature green chile ranch dressing for dipping. While the food and service are excellent, some find it to be a bit greasy at times. Despite this, it remains a convenient and popular choice for locals and visitors alike.
Food is excellent so is the service this location will take you into the north valley and if you allot some time take a short drive north on 4thst to Alameda.

The Candy Lady is a longtime Albuquerque tradition selling handmade fudge, chocolates, and other candies. It is especially popular for souvenirs from fans of the show "Breaking Bad." The store also carries licorice in assorted flavors from around the world, fresh-dipped and glazed fruits, homemade chocolates, custom cakes, and many more treats.
Very friendly ladies behind the counter. Fast service even with several people in line. We were only after the breaking bad blue hard candy. The sizes they sell are distribution and dime bag. $10 and $1. Had so many other treats like fudge, chocolate cherries, and so much more.

I bought a Caramel Pinion Roll and Peanut Butter Crunch. Both good but the Peanut Butter Crunch was outstanding. Also sampled a few different fudges. All were delicious. I don't think there is a wrong choice with anything they carry. She also sells blue rock candy for Breaking Bad fans. Also, has an x-rated section with fun shaped chocolates. Would definitely visit again when in area.

A family friend recommended The Candy Lady, so I had to check it out for myself when I was in Albuquerque. It was a fun little shop and lots of choices. I picked up some chocolate covered pinon clusters for family friends and some chocolate covered rice crispy treats for my son. They had some fudge for sampling and funny gag gifts for parties and special occasions. A great place to get candy as gifts for loved ones and friends!

Just a fun experience all around shopping for Crystal meth candy from the store that fronted Walter White his blue meth in the form of rock candy for the TV show. The owner might be one of the friendliest people on the planet. She took us through the store like we were her first customers, showed us around, even let us dress up like Heisenburg and sample the "product." This is a must stop experience if you are fans of Breaking Bad.

The place feels like it needs a deep cleaning and some renovations. Not a big variety of candy but very good fudge.

Cool breaking bad stuff. Also learned a few things from the staff about the candy and the connection to the show. We traveled far to see Albuquerque for the breaking bad places and were hoping they weren't negative towards tourists, as I'm sure they get a lot. Fortunately, the employees were more than welcoming and we managed to get a few pictures with Walter White (kind of). Got a cool mug too, but big bro dropped it and it split in two. Unfortunate, but it's big bros fault. Thanks for the fun and the experience.

A great spot for a quick bite to eat. They have everything from pizza, pasta and cannolis. Pepsi products only. Their dining area is interesting as there are murals and statutes everywhere.

Parking is scattered and the restaurant is very chaotic at first glance, but once you figure out where to order and how their systemworks, it's all uphill. Food was amazing.

When you drive close to 300 miles for a restaurant, you know it’s the best at what they do! Saggios has ALWAYS been amazing. I’ve never had a bad experience. The food is incredible. The calzones are unique (or traditional if that’s your flavor) and enormous! The bread sticks are beyond tasty, especially with ranch sauce. Their pasta dishes range from traditional to some of the most interesting combinations. And the cannoli….OMG the cannoli! I dream about them. John Mark and Crystal are the most helpful and kind people. They helped us a lot on our last visit, and really all the staff are courteous and accommodating. Saggios is a must visit for lunch or dinner.

I did not enjoy the food at all. It tasted like canned ravioli. The sauce was bland. Even the bread sticks were flavorless. What I wanted in the menu was not available. The decor looks like a Vegas replica... murals of movies and actors, Greek columns, etc. Service was ok and the barely warm food came out fast. Parking is OK. Even my husband said it tasted like canned ravioli and he'll eat anything. I would not recommend this place.

I’ve been coming here occasionally for over 20 years (since college) and it has always been solidly mediocre and sometimes it has been somewhat disappointing, and for my most recent trip it was the latter. I stopped in for a salad and a slice. Ordered the Nirvana salad which is supposed to come with rice noodles. Well, as you can probably tell from the picture, the salad didn’t have rice noodles. PLENTY of dressing though, so much of it that I had a soup at the bottom of the salad bowl. Ordered a slice too which was meh. El Presidente Portnoy would probably be disappointed. Plenty of cheese but that sauce is hella salty. Add in a drink, and I was set back over $20 bucks.

Since apparently they’re too busy to share this with customers:Ordered 2 sandwiches and a pizza around 6:37, almost 45 minutes later and they are not ready. We calmly go up to the front and ask what’s going and they tell us that sandwiches take a while and we will have to wait. That’s fine, but why not just communicate that to us when we order? We were told the line was too long so they couldn’t tell us. It can take up to 30-35 minutes for a sandwich.Okay, so then where is the pizza?Other members of our party arrived 15 minutes later and had their food arrive before us, except for one member who ordered a sandwich.An hour later, they received their order.Be warned, if you’re looking to order a sandwich, give yourselves 45-60 minutes.

Food was delicious and relatively fast (I got the giant cheese pizza slice) the staff was friendly and the PA system was cool. The restaurant was incredibly cool.

Great pizza with a fun atmosphere! In all the years I’ve been coming here, the pizza is a good value and very tasty. It stays consistent and doesn’t change recipe every couple months like some places down the street.Also in case you’re wondering, the sausage is the good sliced kind, not the crumbled kind.

This slice of pie was heavenly. Bigger than my plate. The dough was on point. The cheese to sauce ratio: Perfect. The atmosphere speaks loudly of the great artists that have taken the time to deliver a masterpiece collection of amazing murals throughout the joint. The tables in the back provide plenty of TV's to enjoy the live games and events while drinking a beer or a glass of wine. Thank you all for sharing your passion for food and the amazing service by the Saggios Team. Hands down, #1 Pizza in town.

I think people give them a lot of grace because the food is good but the cashiers are always so rude and it takes forever to get your food. It never used to be this way.Plan on a 40 minute wait and your food will come out in waves so your party won’t get the chance to eat together. That’s been my experience for the last few visits.

The guy at the register not so friendly. No smile. He seemed more friendly to my coworker. Just a what do you want? I replied wings. How many he asked? 6 or 12? I said are they any good? He says yeah! I replied 12. He says what flavor? I replied naked nothing on em. He states there pre made. I said well change it to 6 barbecued flavor. He asked What dipping sauce? I replied blue cheese. I asked for a beer. He asked what flavor. I replied Modelo in a bottle. I asked for pasta with white sauce add shrimp. He stated that would take a while because it takes a minute to cook the shrimp. I said perfect make the pasta to go. He asked do you want anything else? I replied Water with lemon please. He asked anything else? I replied I’ll take the beer and water now. We are going on the patio. My beer came in a glass not in a bottle not very cold. The ice cold water helped. I was charged 35.00 for this. I was overcharged for the wings. He charged me for the 12 pc wings anyway. I was a little upset at the total at first. So I left a smaller than normal tip for the errors and attitude. But when I tried the wings I ate them all they were surprisingly good. We were outside on the patio because it was nice out. Oh and the inside was closed anyway. I’m not a fan of the pigeons but they were not too annoying. We had a nice view of the motorcycles and low riders passing by. I got pictures but they were blurry. I have yet to try my pasta. I hope it’s good. I would recommend this place for the atmosphere.

Sad and disappointing. For my daughter, I specifically ordered just olive oil and cheese, no garlic or sauce or anything else. It seemed like they just re-heated a pre-made cheese pizza (with sauce) and served it. My slice with olives and mushrooms was clearly also the exact same cheese pizza but with toppings thrown on after the fact. The olive oil was included, but in a container by itself, not on the pizza in place of red sauce. They were perfectly nice people, but asking for clarification on our order would have been helpful. Side note, my partner is a NY native and says this restaurant owner has never been to NY.

I ordered a calzone to go. You might be able to guess from the photo, but it would be hard to identify without context. I don't mind burnt food, but this was a bit much. I cook a lot, including pizza and calzone in a wood fried oven, and I wouldn't serve this to a guest. That said, it was edible. The marinara was pretty good and had nice chunks of fresh garlic. Unlike others, I felt the staff was nice and friendly. As I waited, I could tell they were attentive and friendly. As I write this the burnt flavor is still lingering. I need to go brush my teeth.

I used to recommend this place. I have not been there for about a year. I no longer recommend this place. Ordered an eighteen inch pie, three toppings. Came out to more than 35.00.The pizza is the thinnest I have ever had from here. To charge 3.00 per topping, and hardly put any toppings on it is ridiculous. Is near to no sauce on the pizza. Barely enough cheese to cover the pizza. Didn't even melt off of the pizza slices like they used to. The flavor is hard to even judge because of the lack of toppings and sauce. The cashier was a really friendly person. But that's about all I have to say good about it. I don't believe I'll be coming back. For these prices and lack of quality, I think i'm going to have to stick with Dions. It's too bad because this place used to be really good.

Sawmill Market is a trendy warehouse full of bars and eateries, as well as an expansive courtyard. Aside from delicious frozen treats, Neko Neko also has japanese-style fish cake that is totally worthy of an instagram post. There's also a program in the works to provide commercial space to local youth artists for free!
First time visiting this venue......loved it....the experience is fantastic.....perfect eclectic mix of foods ....desserts....drinks.

It was my first time visiting this food haul and it was an amazing experience. I tried out multiple food places but the one that stuck out the most was Neko Neko. I had their ice cream with the fish cake bread filled with red beans. The overall atmosphere of this place was awesome. There were so many people, but it was fine since this place has outdoor seating. There are also inside seating but they were more difficult to come by. I'm sad that I couldn't try every single food place here in one day, but I would love to come back given the opportunity to try out the rest of the food places.

Hands down the best market in Albuquerque! If you’re looking for a cool place to hang out and get some unique food and drinks, definitely give the Sawmill Market a try! It’s also a fantastic place to take friends and family visiting ABQ. There are so many wonderful and unique shops that are all local to the state and it’s truly awesome to have them all under one space. They have a vast selection, and also plenty of seating, so you never have to worry about not finding a spot to sit. After coming here now a few times, I’ve grown to appreciate it so much. I look forward to coming in the warmer months, to hangout in the outdoor area with friends. Definitely a 5 star experience every time!

I recommend going and going more than once so you can try more than one of their amazing offerings. I went three times in as many days. I will probably go anytime and Everytime I happen to be in Albuquerque.

I’m truly impressed by the concept of this place in downtown Albuquerque! The variety of options available is fantastic, and it’s an incredibly family-friendly spot. If you’re looking for a delightful dining experience, I highly recommend indulging in a full-course meal here.

Awesome concept of a shared space with small restaurants and shops. The repurposed construction is a genius idea and allows a way for a community to get together.In the back "yard" are bunches of picnic tables in a large but comfortable dining space. I'm sure there's live music on some days; as there was a small stage area.It gets really busy on weekends so street parking gets filled past the hotel across the street and along inner roads. Totally a fun place to hangout with good eats and a great ambience.Get the right crowd of friends together and return often!

First time experiencing this modern food hall in New Mexico. I enjoyed all of the variety of restaurants inside to allow multiple people to eat and enjoy together. My boyfriend and I got dinner at the Mediterranean restaurant and everyone seating near us kept asking him where got his sandwich from which seems like a good thing. The fries were not good to be honest but the sandwich was still tasty. The ice cream was good as well. They had umami soft serve ice cream which my boyfriend absolutely was head over heels for. It was creamy and amazing. Best he’s ever had. Plenty of seating but parking was rough to find too. Overall, I would recommend this place if you are looking for a variety type of restaurants.

Very nice spot. We went there around 7pm, plenty of parking in the lot next to the market. We got pho soup, tacos, pizza, some drinks, and everything was delicious. Some restaurants are overpriced, some are very reasonable. Perfect spot to go with friends and everyone will be happy.

Great atmosphere! Lots of variety of food to choose from. Best part is the tap room if you’re into local craft beers. The pizza at Hawt was definitely the best food we had. West was a nice place to enjoy upscale co*cktails and wine. Definitely a little something for everyone here. Highly recommend if you are in ABQ.

Sawmill Market is an awesome place for small and large groups. Lots of seating (if your flexible abt inside vs outside seating) and TONS of food choices. Not every spot is a hit, but many are. Restaurants cycle through somewhat often, so instead of reviewing individual ones, I thought I'd put up some pictures from places in general.Most recently, I went for my son's birthday, and our family of four each got food from a different spot and sat outside. It was a picture perfect night with great weather and the outdoor lights really adding a fun atmosphere.Our meals included a full sushi plate from sushi hiro, a large donor chicken plate from the Mediterranean Meso Grill restaurant, a French dip sandwich from Frenchies, and a pasta plate from Tulipani.All the food was delicious, and the service is really sharp with the table buzzers and fast moving lines. It is quite busy, so if you have a thing about crowds it might not be your place, but otherwise I think it's a great time.And a pro tip, the large beer bar in the middle can often get a super long line, but the small restaurant next to it that has diner seating around it (Red and Green), also has beer and usually doesn't have a long line so you can get a smaller selection of beers right out of their fridge.

A fun place to have good food in an open atmosphere. Lots of different types of restaurants that offer good quality and tasty food. Casual atmosphere, it also has an open area in the back, where they have live music (depending on the schedule, check it out). You order they food, and later you pick it up when your pager lights up. Lots of people, but ample spaces. Enjoy!

This was great! A nice venue with several different shops selling different types of food. The place is big, nice and clean and the food is delicious. This actually surprised me as I thought it would be touristy type food, but I was wrong. The truffle pasta was excellent. The French dip truffle sandwich was really good too. We also love the lemonade with mint and we ordered the lavender gin drink at the one bar (not beer). Overall we really enjoyed it, although we wish there was more seating.

There were so many different food vendors and we ended up trying about 3 places and everything tasted awesome! The sushi was fresh and so much better then store bought and the lemon cup went amazing with the lavender lemonade. I can't wait to go back again since there's a couple more items I wanna try. It's gunna take at least a couple trips to be able to try everything!!

This place is honestly amazing. The food options are great (and plentiful), the atmosphere of the place is fantastic, and they are open fairly late.Sawmill Market is great for if you have a group, or if you and a friend just want vastly different things to eat.Personally, I’d recommend getting a little something from a couple places.

I came here because someone recommended it as a great place to eat. I looked at the options and decided on Roti chicken rotisserie. After driving across town I discovered they are out of business. I looked at the other options and they were all very nice looking, clean and friendly staff.Summery. It’s a fancy “mall style” stand in line to order “food court” without the mall food court smell. I prefer a restaurant dining experience with waiters and plates of food made fresh to order. If your preference isn’t mine you might like this place.I did attempt to have a blue burger at another restaurant in this food court. It looked like a pretty good place. The burger was almost 16 bucks without fries with fries would’ve made it $20. I decided to go get a burger somewhere else with a shake for $10 a place where I would stand in line they would make the burger fresh to my specifications and then I could pick up my burger and go back to my own table and eat for about a 1/3 of the price.

Great place to meet up with friends, bigger parties may have a harder time finding seating but still possible. I've gone a few time and tried a bit of everything. My go to is the platter from Kulantro comes with a fresh coconut and the chicken and shrimp are so tasty, perfect on top of some fresh greens OR the fresh green chile pasta from Tulipani soooo good. The waffles are good but would recommend to stick with the fruit waffles the chicken tenders are meh although the spicy syrup is tasty. The pizza not pictured but is really good, the tacos from flora pricy but good and my kiddo enjoyed the sushi. They also sell good rotisserie chicken for a whole family. Neko neko is always a winner for dessert. The local ciders at Praxton's are always refreshing, suggest adding the tractor blood orange cider. The botanic bar was okay the "no blender" drink on the rocks was good, it tastes similar to a green tea drink but the others were meh. The peppercorn in a drink was strange. The sawmill sunset in the last pic with the pasta is also super good but very sweet.

This no-frills red-checked-tablecloth spot does Neapolitan pizzas, calzones and a few Italian entrees exceptionally well. The crust is doughy, the cheese is ample, and the sauce is flavorful. This place has a bit of inconsistency in terms of quality, but it's still one of the best pizza spots around.
Best Pizza I’ve had since living in Italy. This place is a gemstone. Their crust and ingredients, especially the oil taste so fresh, it’s the closest to authentic I’ve had. I always get the calzone which is absolutely amazing. The only drawback is you have to pay extra for sauce. Most places give you at least one side. I refuse to eat a calzone any other place in town. The ricotta they use is amazing!I’ve also tried their cannolis. It’s hit or miss on who makes them on if they’re a deal or not. I’ve had them when the shell is hollow and they just put a spoon of filling on each side with chips and dust the top or I’ve gotten lucky and had them filled. When they are filled, they are a delightful treat and I’d highly recommend them.Give this place a try. Hands down best pizza place in Albuquerque

I heard about New York style pizza place and I wanted to try it.Place is clean and old fashioned and walls are full of photo frames.We tried 3 different slices to get a better idea. Slices were just fine, crust was crispy and not too salty not too fatty. To be honest I can’t call it “Real” New York style pizza in Albuquerque, you should try Rumors to see the difference. In general I liked this place and give them 4 ⭐️.
Alireza A — Google review
Some of the best pizza in town. My only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that the quality will vary according to the day of week, as is the case with many pizzerias. If you go on a weekday, or at least when I have, I notice a definite drop in quality. The crust is not as well done or chewy (dough may need to be kneaded better), the cheese is too much, and there is a little less sauce. Still, these guys are pretty much as good as it gets locally.

Good pizza, a little light on the crust. We got the New Mexico style with no onions. The pizza was extremely tasty had a good mix of flavor and spice with the green chili. Again the only issue was the crust it was a little burnt.

Despite being busy, their customer service is exceptional, and the cozy dining area adds to the charm. The prices are fair for the quality you get, but the standout is definitely the pizza. Finally a pizza made with quality ingredients you can taste! It's light, delicious, and even reheats well. This might just be my top pizza spot in Albuquerque. Worth a visit!

Friendly staff and great tasting pizza! Coming from the east coast, not a single place compared (sorry, not sorry it’s the truth). A good majority of places in New Mexico we’ve tried have been bland and tasteless, but NOT Giovanni’s. Their ingredients are very savory and the slices are thin and can be folded. We agree that they have the flavor and taste consistency of back home Jersey, Philly & NY style, and for that I am grateful. I would say it’s on the expensive side and wish they had promo coupons, but we haven’t seen any… and sometimes the crust is burnt, but that’s minor. Every order has been easy and consistent other than that. So thankful this place is here, thank you Giovanni’s!

One of the best pizza places in Albuquerque and New Mexico. I have always said it's the crust that makes a pizza and they do not disappoint. You can call yourself New York style pizza til the cows come home, but if you haven't got the right crust than no matter how big the slice is it isn't going to be good. Richie B's does it right.It's not just the pizza, either. Their Meatball Sub is incredible as well. Delicious bread. Great sauce and a perfect amount of meatballs and cheese toasted to perfection.Lunch or Dinner, you owe it to yourself to stop by.

Richie B's sells classic New York style pizza with enough fresh mozzarella cheese to give someone a heart attack! The crust is nearly perfect! It isn't soft and doughy, yet not super crispy either. It's browned to the right level and has enough bite to it. The pizza sauce both smells and tastes great too!So why give the pizza 4 stars?I am someone who reads the reviews before going to a new restaurant. One of the most common complaints I have read about this place is that they drown the pizza in oregano.I originally thought: that could be a great thing, especially since the majority of "good" pizza in ABQ is BLAND! Dion's comes to mind as a good example of one. After all, a good NY style cheese pizza should be big, flavorful, and NOT for the bland of mouth!After eating that pizza however, I'd have to agree with that complaint. There is SO MUCH oregano in the pizza that it is drowning out the notes of garlic and shallot that, in my opinion, also makes an excellent pizza. Don't get me wrong. Oregano is an essential ingredient for a good pizza, but not at the expense of other important flavor components.If they cut down the oregano in half, and put in a little more garlic into the sauce, then this pizza could be legendary and truly something special. Instead, it misses that mark.7/10Pictures below are some leftover slices.

I saw this place on a FB post and I knew I was going to be passing through ABQ so I thought I’d give it a shot. Got there around the time they opened. I ordered their 18in pizza. It took about 20 minutes to make. As we waited the place got packed. The pizza was very good, New York style pizza. They had the NYC decor going on. If I’m ever back in ABQ I’d definitely go back.

If you are wanting good pizza, come to this place. Located right off Montgomery in the Louisiana Plaza. Slices here are big. Came during the week at lunch and there was seating available. Pizza was the star of the show. Ingredients tasted fresh and the cheese was nice and hot. If you want a NY styled pizza than this is the place.

This meal was unlike any pizza I've ever had in my life. The monster slice was a size biblical in nature and unholy in design. I know not the owner's religious status, but I will be the first to inform you that no god was involved in the making of this hot 'za. Every night since that fateful afternoon, I have had a recurring dream. One of the devil's dance, around a burning flame of cheese and tomatoes, in which the monster slice hath been christened. I wake up in a cold sweat, knowing of little, but of one thing for sure. Richie B will not see the pearly gates of heaven, for he shall dance with Lucifer to birth these abominations day and day again.5/5 I'll be back next week

Like everyone, I came here to try the giant slice pizza that they're know for.The pizza is too thin with small toppings.You get better value buying from Saggio's or even Dion's.I paid ~$42 for the giant 25" pie.Giant 25" ($29.99) + supreme toppings ($7) + tax = $42.21.Overall, I'm not satisfied with this pizza.To compete against other local pizza places that are non-fast food, you get better value, size, and taste buying from Saggios or even Dion's.Save your money and go to another pizza place instead.

To start off, the girl working the front has zero personality or customer service skills. She was absolutely unhelpful throughout the entire ordering process. She was more interested in her phone than her job. The pizza was really unimpressive. The crust was not good, tasted like cheap bread. The pizza had almost no cheese which was so odd, like less than a slice would have and the pineapple was weird and flavorless. The sauce was sweet and other than the sweet it was flavorless. The toppings were put on the top of the cheese, so as soon as you grab a slice it all falls off. So little toppings. It wasn’t even sliced good, we had to cut it ourselves. Almost $40 for one pizza was ridiculous. Especially since it went to the trash. Definitely very underwhelming and not impressive in any way. It was not a good pizza at all. What a ripoff.

They also have really good happy hour menu here.We ordered the charcuterie board and a few other appetizers. I got the hanger steak and my friend ordered a pasta.

Review for Mi’tuccisUpon arriving at Mi’tuccis, we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were seated despite the very full parking lot and seemingly packed facility. Initial service was prompt, with our drinks and bread appetizer arriving swiftly.However, things began to slow down after that. We sat for about 12-15 minutes before our server returned. We ordered an appetizer and a smoked Old Fashioned, but they were having issues with their smoker, which delayed the drink significantly. Even after 25 minutes, our appetizer had not arrived.Our main dishes came out relatively quickly once we placed our order. The Old Fashioned finally arrived just a few minutes before our food, but it was unfortunately watered down from waiting for the smoker which never worked so I received a regular old fashioned. The food itself tasted good, but the prolonged wait detracted from our overall experience. Additionally, we went long periods without being checked on by our server, which further diminished our satisfaction.Overall, the experience was just okay. We would definitely opt for the Coors location next time, hoping for a smoother and more attentive dining experience.

The menu is creative…the pastas are flavorful. The service was friendly, although our young waiter kept forgetting to bring us to-go boxes. Don’t waste your money on the appetizers or bread basket. Their $3 bread basket consisted of 4 slices of dry, hard, tasteless sour dough bread with a ramekin of flavorless olive oil for dipping. The fried Brie appetizer was pretty but included the same dry, hard, tasteless bread. The crispy coating of the Brie had a burnt flavor. The restaurant was full on a Friday night and we easily got a table without reservations. Sadly, I wasn’t impressed with the food.

My wife ordered the sausage rigatoni. I ordered the chicken milanese. We ordered the bread basket and calamari.I had their blueberry old fashioned.The pasta is clearly made fresh. The bread was delicious. Calamari cooked to perfection. If we had to make a single complaint, the old fashion was way too sweet and the rigatoni was slightly undercooked.Our waitress was incredible and very knowledgeable and pleasant.The price was extremely reasonable for the quality of food you get.This has shot to the tip of our list for favorite restaurants in Albuquerque.

We were really excited to try here while visiting as our family raved about it and we used to regularly eat at the original years ago before we moved to TX. Sadly, it was a pretty disappointing experience.Service was lacking and getting drinks/ordering took forever. The server barked at us for requesting refills after cups sitting empty at least 5/10min. There was a large party next to us and the chair broke from under one of the men. (The large party was probably why service was off- I hope)We were seated near the window into the kitchen and were pretty put off by the amount of flies in the kitchen. (At least 8-10 resting on the window and 3 around our food/table)The appetizers were great (calamari, caprese and build your own charcuterie.) The main courses came missing things. The raviolis were good. All our other food was severely under seasoned and the pasta was so chewy and pasty. The kids chicken was super thin, bone dry and not seasoned at all)m.There was an issue with the bill being correct at the end but they did fix that after a few minutes wait- no big deal.Truthfully- we are so easy to please and almost never leave reviews but the combination of factors (and Google promoting me as soon as we left) were hard to overlook. Especially the chewy, underseasoned food for the price.Definitely nothing like the original or as great as our family described. Hopefully just an off day but for the price point, they really shouldn’t have THAT off of a day.I tried to get better pictures of the flies but they were definitely too fast. At one point there was at least 8-10 on this one window inside the kitchen and 3 buzzing around our food/table.

It was our first time eating at M’tucci’s and it was awesome! The food was delicious and our waiter was very attentive. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and it was very good, but the portions seemed a little small and the ingredients had kind of a weird texture, but I was still able to get filled up. All in all, this restaurant is awesome and we will definitely eat there again soon!

Although the food and service was good, the management was horrible. We ordered a house bottle of Cabernet and then before the bottle came, they replaced our waiter. The second waiter confirmed that we ordered the House bottle of Cabernet. He brought it to the table. He explained how although it’s House Cabernet the restaurant makes their own red wine blend and it’s very good, I’m sure it was when the bill came. They charged us almost twice as much for a much better wine when we questioned it the waiter said “I’ll see what I can do.”A supervisor came over and said because we drank the wine. All she can do is offer us a credit for our next visit. We explain this was unacceptable since we are from out of town , meanwhile she went to see what her boss will let her do the first waiter came over and apologize saying that was on himAfter 15 minutes we spoke with the manager of the restaurant and all he cared was about what and why It happened not that he was gonna cure the problem after another five minutes I told him knowing we had to leave I just paid the bill and left nothing as a tip. I felt bad for the waiter, but the manager didn’t care about what I had to say. My brother wanted to get involved who has medical issues and I push him away and all the manager wanted to do was get my brother upset so we can look wrong. Please be careful when you order a bottle of wine from this place.

The service was great and atmosphere was also great. Very nice restaurant inside. My first time with family on New Year's Eve. I would go back however I'd love fresh pasta next time better.

We travel a lot and consequently eat out a lot. Being foodies, we can honestly say the meal and service was exceptional! We ordered an amazing charcuterie board, salads, two pizzas and dessert. Way too much food but we enjoyed every bite. Our waitress Rebekah was very helpful in recommending what to eat. Shout out to her for exceptional service! We will definitely be back!

Absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant, and on my birthday. Let me just start off by saying I have been a server and bartender for a few years at different restaurants so I understand how most things work behind the scenes but there is truthfully no good excuse for what we experienced tonight. When I booked the reservation they told me that I couldn’t come in at 6 but they could do 6:15, ok no big deal at all. I’m on my way tonight and get a text around 6 saying that my table has been ready and urging me to be there soon. Why couldn’t I make the reservation at 6 like I originally wanted then? Ok again not a big deal, things happen. Me and my family rush into the restaurant and r met with multiple hostesses who give us attitude when we tell them that we r here for a reservation and say, “well do you wanna be seated now?!” Uh… yes. We get seated and we order but are ignored by the server for at least 30 minutes, multiple people in my party have empty glasses and the manager walking around isn’t even checking in on us. We finally order our refills and then wait 20 more minutes for them while every other table around us has gotten multiple refills while we wait. We think maybe our server forgot because hey, things happen, so we wave him over to say, “hey, just so we know we are still waiting on our waters and co*ke” and he barks back at us with, “well yeah I already know the only reason I haven’t brought them out was because we are out of glasses ok?! That’s the only reason! I can fill up the waters I guess” wow. We just stared at each other in disbelief. Then as we are talking out of no where my boyfriend’s chair breaks from underneath him because of how flimsy they are! He falls to the floor and a server comes up and calmly says, “oh yeah that happens, these chairs can get pretty wobbly” so this has happened before?! Then the general manager comes up with a JOKING demeanor and asks my boyfriend if he’s ok and says that all they can do for us is a free dessert OR chicken bolognese?! What?! Appalling. We get our bill and they still tried to charge my boyfriend for his meal until we asked for it to be comped. The general manager comes back over to fill out an incident report and gave my boyfriend attitude as well. They had the audacity to still add gratuity to our bill after all this! Whatever we just wanted to get out of here at this point so we just paid it. Forgot to mention that my cousin asked a different waitress for a refill (which we usually don’t do but we were getting no service otherwise) and our initial server pulled said waitress aside and started yelling at her in front of everyone in the dining room!! For what?! So many flies flying on and around our food and in the kitchen as well. I am in shock and frankly angry, will never go back or recommend

I went there with my family for the first time this evening. Our server Charles was fantastic! I had calamari, a pasta that is similar to the Alfredo pasta and a dessert (haven't tried it yet), and they were all excellent! We will be back for sure!

This is one of my favorite places to frequent. I have never seen a bad choice of dish here, though I often have my go-to orders. It is simply good, consistently great service, comfortable atmosphere, and the food is always delicious. As many times as I have been here, I don't think I have had any major complaints (except that the floor is unusually slippery for high heels -not many places in town with this type of slippery floors- I notice because I wear heels daily). I even love the bathroom, especially the wallpaper, and the fact that they have a full length mirror so you can be sure you always look your best. :) I never have had to wait or not long for a table even though it is always pretty busy. Consistently happy here is my bottom line.

My friend and I finally decided to try M’Tuccis after a couple of years of seeing it so close to the movie theater that we frequent. It was absolutely lovely, we both decided to try new dishes.She chose the Capocollo Carbonara, I chose the Prosciutto and Apple Pizza along with ordering the Blackberry and Goat Cheese salad (they very kindly split it into two bowls when we mentioned we were going to share it).For the drinks, we went with a Hedge Mocktail in Blueberry and an Apple Italian Cream Soda.Man, everything exceeded my expectations. The Mocktail was VERY sour (which is perfect for me, honestly), and the cream soda was deliciousThe salad was fresh and lovely, not overdressed and with the perfect amount of additions.The pizza was absolutely not what I expected, but I genuinely enjoyed trying something new (the balance of salty and sweet combined with the balsamic drizzle was really nice). The Carbonara was gone very quickly.We did choose to end our meal with some of the fresh raspberry sorbet and it was heavenly.Will definitely be coming here again on our next movie night!

Everything about this place is great! My fiancée: “food was great, service was great, food came out quick, and parking was great”! Tried the blackberry shrub co*cktail because all the reviews seemed to love it. It was great! Very refreshing!I ordered the applewood smoked brisket ravioli (picture). Unique but delicious. Kind of like a stew with ravioli. A bit of a sweet dish and more liquid than expected, but I loved it.Fiancée got the Spaghettini with meatballs, and said it was phenomenal.Would 10/10 go again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Great service, amazing food, the atmosphere got a little noisy as the dining room filled up but it was never hard to hear people at the table. Pictures are of the fried brie cheese as an appetizer, five pork bolognese, carbonara, and the pork belly with risotto. Great drink and dessert selections as well. Very friendly staff that took us in 15 minutes before our reservation. Definitely will come again and bring a group!

The food is made with fresh, flavorful ingredients, offering a unique style of pizza that many consider the best in town.

Additionally, the chipotle wings are highly recommended for their quality and taste.
Locally owned and food made with fresh, flavorful ingredients. It is definitely a unique style of pizza but it is truly the best pizza in town. We have been coming here for a couple of years now and have never been let down. We usually get the spicy marinara with either pepperoni or sausage and fresh basil. The chupacabra is also a good choice. Also, we always get an order of chipotle wings-the wings are high quality and delicious. The awesome service is just the cherry on top. I hope this place is always around!Update: We’ve been customers for years and this place is still amazing. Just had another delicious experience. If you’re thinking about ordering from here definitely do it!

Straight up pizza was delicious.So, straight up pizza is takeout or delivery only. I didn't know that in advance, so I showed up in front of the restaurant trying to get in and get a table. It took a few minutes for my wife and I to realize what the situation was and to decide to just order out on the spot. As a result, we ended up standing around in front of the restaurant for a while which, I think, made the people inside a little bit nervous. So, don't do that.We read the menu posted in the window and made some on-the-spot decisions. We rang them up on our cell phones and were able to place the order with no trouble. The folks were very nice and extremely helpful. Ordering was a great experience. It was super easy and the people at straight up pizza where helpful, polite, and expedient.At least once, somebody came to pick up a pizza while we were still trying to decide what to order. Every time they opened the pick-up window, an amazing savory delightful aroma came floating out of the restaurant. It was awesome.It was done in short order and they brought it out to our car, which was very nice of them.We had buffalo chicken wings, a 14-inch carnivore Pizza, and a couple of cannolis. Everybody was a treat. Take a look at the photos I posted. The pizza was cooked perfectly, the chicken wings were crispy and seasoned just right, and the cannolis were creamy and crunchy, just as they should be. The food was just great.Five stars to straight up pizza, I'll definitely be back.

The owner of this business makes okay pizza. But only has 198 reviews and may wonder why. Charging $7 in a delivery fee on a $14 dollar cheese only pizza, migggghhtttt be why. I would be surprised this place will exist in a few years when you have options at half the price within blocks. It costs $30 for a medium pepperoni pizza to be delivered

We are visiting for Balloon Fiesta 2019 and loved this place. After a long day at the fiesta wr ordered pizzas through uber eats and there was an issue where this pizzas were picked up but never delivered to us. Randy (the manager, I believe) called to let us know and remade the whole order and had uber eats take care of the cost. They went out of their way to make things right and on top of that the pizza was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend.

The pizza was very enjoyable and not heavy as some other pizza places. The staff was professional and pizza was prepared within a reasonable time. We did pick it up and it's unfortunate that they are located in a lightly populated strip mall. As I understand by visiting, it's strictly delivery or carry out...no dining in. It is a little more expensive than most in the area but was a pleasant change.

What a lovely night this turned out to be. Sitting at home on a cold, cozy night. I decided to order some takeout. I have never had straight up, and now I will never want another pizza again. This was the most delicious Margherita Pizza, Chicken Wings, Salad, and Chocolate Cannoli I have ever had!!!!My only regret is that I only bought one Cannoli. I'm so sorry to keep going on and on but my goodness that was the most delicious cannoli! 😋🤤

Chicago Pizza Kitchen is a top spot in Albuquerque for those craving an authentic Chicago-style pizza. The restaurant, which is owned by disabled veterans, has two locations to choose from. Whether you're customizing your own pie or selecting from their menu, there's something for everyone here. Spice enthusiasts will particularly enjoy the El Diablo option. Diners have praised the quick and friendly service when dining in and appreciated the delicious deep-dish pizzas with perfectly crispy crusts.
I’m a huge fan of a good pan pizza. This place was really good and the drive through service was excellent. We weren’t too sure about the sauce hiding all the topping so we got a True Chicago pizza and a regular specialty pizza. Both were to die for! We will definitely be going here more often.

I recently started going to the Gibson location and thought the last few pizzas were pretty solid. Don't want to get anyone in trouble, but tonight's was a disaster. I placed an order online and for some reason there were some technical difficulties and I was told it would be just a few minutes (things happen, I understand). I waited for just under 10 which leads me to believe they scrambled to make my order as quick as possible. The gentleman helping me was nice enough, but the pizza I got was ridiculous. Based on my previous experience, I wouldn't even think this food came from the same place if I hadn't picked it up myself (I used to pick up a lot from the Eubank location and I'm pretty familiar with the product). All I ordered was a 14" pepperoni, and pictured is what I received. Never had the pepperonis under the cheese before. And just tons of cheese. The mess on top just falls off because it wasn't cooked very well. If I already had to wait, it should have at least been done right. Never had one from Chicago Pizza Kitchen like this before. I'm pretty understanding and hate leaving negative reviews, but I feel pretty burned on this one.

This is a very fun pizza place! You absolutely have to love any place that uses medieval armor as a decor!

Very satisfied with one large pizza.

I really enjoyed the pizza. The atmosphere was awesome! They had two knights in there and had cats on the TV! Pizza itself was delicious! I was worried when it came that the crust might be too hard but it was just perfectly crispy. I would 100% come back and I plan to with my pizza-loving husband! I hope they get more business in the future.

If I could leave no stars I would the owner of this restaurant is beyond disrespectful. They don’t value their customers at all. I wanted to get a refund for a pizza I did not eat because it wasn’t edible yet the manager refuses to give me my money back.

Wow! I like that deep dish Chicago style pizza. I tried this place out years back when it was some kind of franchise. Now, it's local owned and the food and service are way better. I enjoyed it very much.I got the Chicago style deep dish pizza and some chicken wings. And I think I got the deluxe version of the Chicago style pizza. Various meats and vegetables. It was a great choice, although they did have four meat pizza that looked pretty good too.Chicago style! I had never tried that before. If you don't know what it is, let me clear you in. It's a deep dish pizza with toppings on top of the crust, then cheese, and then sauce on top of all of that. Frankly, I tried it as an adventure, but really liked it a lot. I'll definitely get it again.I kind of feel like I'm a piece of snob, and I really want some basic things in my pie. Like, good flavor, topics distributed evenly, the right amount of cheese and sauce. And this thing really hit all of the tick marks.I'm at the owner, the owner was very nice and I enjoyed my whole experience.

First time eating here, ordered online, said would be ready in 15 min. That should’ve been a red flag to start, any Chicago pizza should be 45 min at least to prepare. The pizza crust was still raw. Only half the pizza was sauced, and it wasn’t cut. The guy at the drive thru looked like he’s on day 4 of a bender. Will not be going back.

Deep dish date night! Dined in, the service was quick and friendly and the pizza was great! The dough tasted great and was nice and crispy. We got the deep dish Margherita, and there's something to be said about the basics- the flavors worked very well together, especially with the super fresh basil, and I thought the cheese-to-sauce ratio was perfect. The garlic bread (with mozzarella) was recommended by the owner who took our order, and I'm glad she did- yum! Will definitely be back to check out some of their other menu offerings- thanks Chicago Pizza Kitchen!

The pizza is great but... The poor service and lack of pomp around the pizza did the pizza injustice. This pizza deserves to be delivered on a hot cast iron pan and celebrated. Take me to Chicago! Instead it came in a box with paper plates for dine in. We got to serve ourselves and clean up after ourselves. No table service. Skip dessert. The canoli was soggy and the tiramisu was a tiny side piece. I suggest only carryout if you are feeling your Chicago pizza itch.

I have no idea why this place doesn’t have less stars or why it’s even open. Pizza looked like a 5 year old made it in the kitchen and the wings were so disgusting, I’ve had better wings at Golden Corral. It looks so old and run down in there, we were the only ones there and now I see why. I tried to ignored the bad reviews and only pay attention to the good. DONT DO IT. ITS AWFUL

Mr. Cameron, the manager, greeted me for a pick up and was very kind to have added extra cheese and run my pizzas back through the oven. Overall, the pizzas tasted good. The deep dish Italiano was a good choice as I've not had traditional Chicago style pizza. The crust was tasty on the regular pan pizzas. I would recommend the chicken Alfredo pizza, easily the best out of the bunch I got.

My wife and I have been looking for restaurants to add for a change of pace from the same old places. We stopped in and tried the deep dish pizza and buffalo wings. The pizza was not hot, and all the ingredients used tasted store bought, not fresh. The wings weren't any better.We weren't sure if we were just being too harsh, so we visited again a few days later. All we ordered was the deep dish again, and we had the same opinion. I also noticed a surcharge on the receipt and inquired about it. I was informed that it was for credit cards, and I was refunded the money because we had paid in cash.Apparently, we were gluttons for punishment, so we returned again. This time, we tried their Italian sausage sandwich and a Philly cheesesteak.The Italian sandwich was all bread and a small piece of sausage. The Philly was not steak it was a dry, dry, dry, dry what I believed to be sausage. Needless to say, we were utterly disappointed and will not set foot in this restaurant again. P.S. the SURCHARGE appeared again, and once again, I asked about it. This time, I was told that it is added whether you use a credit card or cash. The young lady said she had called the general manager Vanessa Clean to clarify. They did offer to deduct it on my next visit instead of simply returning the money then and there. The worst part of it all was that the young lady had taken the surcharge out of the register and placed it into the red tip box. This I know because I paid with exact change and I saw how much she placed in the tip box. No return call from Mrs. Clean, go figure.

This place is a hidden gem, I’m pretty sure I had better deep dish here than when I was in Chicago. I’ll be honest, the fries were lackluster, but I’d order every pizza off their menu.

Wow! This place was amazing! The atmosphere was great, service was great, food and beers (1888 and 1888 cranberry) were great! My husband had came here a few weeks back for a work trip and he kept telling me how amazing it was. So when we were in town for a concert this past Saturday, we had to stop by. Delicious! Can't wait to go back and try other menu options. 😀 Thank you for a great dinner.

The food service started as a very good experience as the bar tender was very informative and will let you try drinks to see if it's something that you'd like.The pizza is amazing. I had the Roadrunner Pizza and it was fantastic. Such an amazing combination of flavors. I also got the Pie-Faced Key Lime Pie Wheat Ale and it has a delicate but full flavor, lightly tart and with a sweet touch.The last straw that pushed this review into motion was the remake pizza made for my girlfriend. We weren't even disappointed with the first pizza that came out and we were honestly unaware that they were remaking a pizza in its place.This place took that extra step forward to make sure that the customer is happy with the food. I will come back here again.This has just become a regular eatery as I am very satisfied and very impressed.Thank you!!

Restoration Pizza in Albuquerque, New Mexico is a great place to go for beer and pizza. I was lured into the place by a sign that said beer, and I was not disappointed. The front façade has a huge area that looks like multiple buildings, which is a plus because it means that if you walk in for food, you can enjoy some beer, and if you walk in for beer, you can enjoy some food.The atmosphere at Restoration Pizza is great, but it was a bit empty when I visited. They have a great facility with music playing and a wide variety of beers on tap. I was able to taste seven beers, and they were all delicious.The food at Restoration Pizza is also good. I ordered a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms, and it was very tasty. The pizza was cooked to perfection, and the toppings were generous.Overall, I had a great experience at Restoration Pizza. The beer was delicious, the food was good, and the atmosphere was great. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good place to enjoy beer and pizza.Here are some specific things that I liked about Restoration Pizza:* The beer selection is extensive and well-chosen.* The pizza is delicious and cooked to perfection.* The atmosphere is great, with music playing and plenty of seating.Overall, I would give Restoration Pizza a rating of 9 out of 10. It is a great place to go for beer and pizza, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to enjoy a meal and a drink.I agree with your suggestion that Restoration Pizza needs to do a better job of attracting customers. They have a great facility and a great product, but they need to get the word out. I think they could do this by hosting more events, such as beer tastings and live music performances. They could also offer discounts to locals and regulars.I hope that Restoration Pizza is successful in the future. They have a great place, and I would love to see them become a popular destination for Albuquerque residents and visitors alike.

This place is efficient and delicious. We came after the lunch rush and I was starving. We got our pizza quickly. It is apparent that this establishment uses quality ingredients. One of the other things that was on display was a job posting. I was surprised to see they offer paid leave and health benefits. If a company cares about its employees, you will usually find great service and that was the case during our visit.

Brickyard Pizza is a popular pizza spot in Albuquerque that offers happy hour specials and delicious pies with toppings like pesto, banana peppers, and soccer TV. The restaurant has outdoor seating and friendly service.
What a great college atmosphere! I came in for a Zoni and had a few beers and watched a great football game. My beer was cold and my servicers were right on it for a busy Saturday night. If you are nearby, so in for the fun, you'll be happy you started around.

Service was amazing, attentive and helpful. Brought us water for our guest dog. Nice outdoor seating. Pizza was amazing!! Got the Brickyard which is basically a combo! Great sauce/crust and fresh tasty ingredients!!! The bread sticks were not my favorite....bread was pretty hard and the cheese on it didn't pair quite right. Overall would go eat pizza there any time!!! Delicious! They also had a Sante Fe watermelon cider that was probably my favorite cider ever! Super smooth!!

The pizza is chewie. Dry on top, the wings are similar to a kfc flavor, no sauce on the wings. It’s more of a Drinking beer place rather than a food joint. The staff is actually so nice it was difficult for me to complain, so I did not. Sodas were good n not flat.. one waitress was wearing a long sleeve faded Harley shirt that is 4 sizes to big n looks like she is wearing no shorts. Thank goodness she had spandex shorts under “she does need to bath before work tho. But very nice lady

They said 30 minutes. Took an hour. Not that big of deal. But still.Caesar salad was actually fantastic. That’s the two stars. Would of been better if they would of sent me a fork, I’m in a hotel.

Ordered delivery to our hotel as Brickyard was one of the closest pizza places. We were told 30-40 minutes. It was well over an hour wait, and no fork for my salad. Crust was burnt. While there is some charring to be excpected with wood fire pizzas, but this was very dark bottom and top

Ordered a full order of wings, which comes with 8, for $10 and was greeted by these. Not upset by the taste of the wings, but the size is disappointing. This morsel was neither the biggest nor the smallest in the batch. Bummer.

Scarpas is a cozy spot known for its thin-crust brick-oven pizzas and pasta dishes. The menu features an array of creative options, including unique pizza flavors like chicken enchilada, eggplant parmesan, Thai chicken, BLT with mayo tossed lettuce, and green chile cheeseburger. They also offer gluten-free crusts and vegetarian options. Customers rave about the flavorful dishes such as the green chili alfredo pasta and delicious desserts inspired by pizza toppings.
Some of the best pasta I've ever had and the pizzas are all delicious. When we ordered the desert we didn't even know it would be so huge! It was such good food and we haven't stopped going since we tried it.

This is a nice quiet brick oven pizza place (that has other Italian entree's). I recommend going here because the atmosphere is nice, it's clean, the service is fine and the food is delicious as well as fairly priced.In fact I was very surprised by how family priced it was considering the entire place looked very niche and fancy.
Dominic S — Google review
Delicious!!! One pizza is the perfect size for 2 people to share and that leaves just enough space to share the amazing dessert! The Italian sausage is really yummy and the onions aren't too strong and overpowering. The dessert is amazing!!!! The service was attentive and friendly. Prices are great! It's a wonderful atmosphere for a date night.

Great locally owned restaurant that is worth visiting. The fact that the Scarpas at this location has been here nearly 20 years should stand testament to the quality of its food and service.

Rebel Donut is a beloved bakery in Albuquerque, NM, known for its delectable donuts. With a loyal following and high ratings for its food and service, this American-style bakery has been a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. Despite the bittersweet news of its closure, fans made sure to savor one last taste of their iconic donuts before bidding farewell to this cherished establishment.
There were quite a few vegan options the morning I went. Donuts are definitely fresh and so good! I tried the piñon roast coffee because New Mexico. I don't generally like flavored coffee but it was fun to try- like a mix between hazelnut and vanilla. I had a Boston cream...savored every bite, and an apple fritter which was pretty standard. I would definitely go again when in town! Staff was friendly and efficient.

The vegan options or the lack thereof was just that; simple, a bit bland, way too much sugar in the frosting, or whatever it was.

Rebel Donuts has a wide variety- each day I go there is something new to try. Absolutely love the maple bacon! They've perfected the flavors and I really enjoy seeing the designs they come out with for pop culture events and holidays. The staff is always friendly and so helpful about picking favorites. The coffee gives other chains a run for it's money. 🍩☕

REVISION: 2021The Customer Service of the Management Team is outstanding.Kudos.----These are the best tasting (and best-looking) donuts in the city!Their staff is fun and friendly and look like they enjoy working there --- I mean, how could you not? You're making donuts ALL DAY :DMy wife and I went yesterday for Star Trek Day. They always outshine every other local or franchise donut shoppe because they make a point to make specialty and novelty donuts for obscure holidays (and non-holiday holidays).I also got their Pennywise donuts when "It: Chapter two" premiered this past week. They are always tasty, fresh and cool!Update: They also do DOPE Friday the 13th donuts ON Friday the 13th!Update: Went yesterday in the midday and they have a full selection of tasty donuts. Good show!

This place always has awesome donuts! They have raised and cake donuts in all kinds of varieties, along with some really cool specialty donuts. I would highly recommend checking this place out! They have a friendly staff and a clean eating area. They also have specialty drinks to go along with their yummy donuts. They also have a point system that gets you rewards like free donuts if you're a local and like to support local businesses and get some yummy donuts every once in a while! I would highly recommend this place!

Rebel Donuts has very unique combination of flavors, and they are so good. Best donuts I've had in Albuquerque!! I especially love all of their themed days. Happy May the 4th!
Jordan M — Google review
The glazed donuts are pretty good. They are a cross between a “melt in your mouth” and doughy donut. The coco and fruity donut were okay. The variety donuts are dense and “packy.” A variety box of 12 is around 22 dollars. Just a heads up for anyone wondering.

This is a fun place! The grandkids love coming here when they’re in ABQ. Nice selection of donuts. The co-workers love it when I pick up Rebel Donuts too. They offer rewards so ask about that and sign up when you visit!

Pizza restaurant
Firenze Pizzeria is a hidden gem located in a small food strip mall near Tramway. The pizza here is highly praised for its fresh and quality ingredients, with a thin crust that strikes the perfect balance between crunch and softness. Customers love the Four Cheese and Godfather pizzas, as well as the creamy pesto ranch dressing. The fire ovened thin pizzas like BBQ chicken are also recommended.
I had seen how cool this place was on social media and finally made it. Firenze's is tucked away in a small food strip mall off the beaten path on Candelaria next to Tramway. Their location is close to Boxing Bear Brewing. To order, you stand in line and place orders just like a deli restaurant. Pizza is always ready on time or early and is always tasty! Highly recommend, you can't go wrong with this spot!

My wife has eaten the food many times and loves it. It was my first time eating here and I'm happy to say that I agree with my wife. The food here is quite good. The food tastes like it's made with fresh and quality ingredients. I typically prefer thicker pizza crusts because thin crusts often come out really crunchy like crackers, but this thin crust pizza had great texture. It has a bit of a crunch, but still soft enough to fold without breaking. The service was great as well. The owner and the employee were both very friendly and made us feel welcome. This is now my favorite brick oven pizza place. I definitely recommend eating here.

Stopped by Firenze Pizzeria on Candelaria and Tramway and WOW! The dining area is super comfortable and well decorated. Prices are reasonable and the staff was clearly competent in their jobs. The wait times were very reasonable.And the food!The food was exceptional! The pesto salad was so tasty and dressing was something completely new to me. The pizza was wonderful. I love that they have a classic open pizza oven. I can't say enough about how good everything was and I hope more locals take time to enjoy this wonderful pizzeria.

Firenze pizza is a fun fire ovened thin pizza that is delicious. We had the BBQ chicken and another new one that really hit the spot. For two of us we really could have split 1 pizza but if you are really hungry you should definitely get one per person.

Eclectic Urban Pizzeria And Tap House is a new and exciting addition to the midtown dining scene. The restaurant offers a diverse menu featuring delicious fish 'n chips and creative pizzas, along with a wide selection of beers. The atmosphere is vibrant, with both indoor and outdoor seating options available on the patio. While some have found the portions to be on the smaller side for the prices, others have praised the tasty appetizers and great beer selection.
I’m sad it’s closing. The sriracha wing sauce was the best. Pizza was great, the beer was local, and the owners were very nice. Have fun in France.

Good food, but high prices for small servings. Pizza was just slightly better than average. Appetizer was tasty, but tiny. Beer selection is great and staff was very nice. Patio would be nice if it was not on a busy street.

Tonight was our first and last visit to Eclectic. Waited way too long to get our food and when we did the owner darn near threw the food tray at my wife. There was a mix up in the kitchen and one of our meals was given to another table and we waited another 20 minutes for the next meal to come out. My wife ordered a burger med well and I think the burger could have been baked faster than it was grilled and alas when she received it, it was very very well done. They apparently only cook their burgers Med rare and I know why- it's the only temperature they can prepare! My dinner arrived in shifts and one item I ordered was very cold in the center and was sent back(but upon second go round was still cold in the center). My wife was ready to give up and go home but I insisted we stay and give them a chance- I will never make that mistake again! The staff is friendly but poorly trained. What a waste of $40(and did I mention the place is pricey for the product received).

Eclectic indeed, from the music to the food. Enjoyed every bite including the red chile chocolate shake! A good dinner for two at $40, I found the price for the taste to be really good. It's a neat establishment and a good place to relax on the patio at night. Our server was also very friendly and attentive.

This was very bad. The seating is bad. I heard the concentrated noise from other tables, and I was up against other people. I don't like sitting a bench, but where else is there to sit. The food is overpriced. The service is slow and lackadaisical. The rib was 50% or more just fat. I paid $22 for a giant piece of fat that I surgically cut through while trying to read my friends' slips to understand what is being said. The beer ordered was wrong, and it tasted like what I imagine dog pee tastes list. The owners are flippant, and the waitress was occasional and apparently far too trendy for us. AVOID this horrid, expensive noisy den of overpriced hell. You can get a good pizza, but good luck trying to appreciate it with the noise, odd service and cramping chairs. Please consider this if anything, if you were on the fence about trying this restaurant or one that you are familiar with - Go with the one you are familiar with! I got here from an obviously inflated review.In summary, fatty food with small portions, service that is too trendy to be normal or expected, seating that is painful, and noise that will give everyone in your family a headache. Is this the place you want to go for a nice meal?

Las Golondrinas Pie Company is a must-visit for pie lovers. Their motto "Life is short. Eat pie." perfectly captures the essence of their delicious offerings. The pies feature flaky, buttery crusts and delectable fillings that strike the perfect balance between sweetness and flavor. What's more, they offer personal-sized pies so you don't have to share your favorite flavors like caramel apple green chile or raspberry rhubarb vanilla bean custard.
Hands down, the best pumpkin and pecan pies I've ever had. A huge hit at Thanksgiving.Can't wait to try the others.Update: tried the eggnog pie for Christmas and am blown away! Next, the coconut cream!Picture of pumpkin and chocolate!

I seriously can’t say enough good things about this pie company. I’ve placed a few orders over the past couple of months, and I’ve been beyond pleased every time. Their pies and other items are incredibly well made, fairly priced, and taste unbelievably good. The people I’ve interacted with from Las Golondrinas Pie Company are always so incredibly kind, too. I’d highly recommend placing an order if you’re in the market from some tasty treats.
