2. Amore Neapolitan Pizzeria

Among the city’s best pizza places, only Amore is certified Neapolitan. The flour crusts are super fluffy, chewy, and smothered in the finest Italian ingredients.

The classic Margherita pizza can be mixed up a bit with a New Mexico version - tomato sauce, crushed Hatch red chiles, Italian salami, and house-made mozzarella.

6. Brickyard Pizza

The Brickyard Pizza offers 25 beers on tap and huge slices of pizza – what more could one ask for? Personal pizzas and deep dish pizzas are all available.
