These 13 Pizza Places In New Mexico Are So Good That Your Mouth May Explode

As the name suggests, pies here are New York-style, a.k.a thin crust. Pizzas are named according to areas and boroughs of NYC, like Da Bronx Pizza and Central Park Pizza. (There's also a branch of this restaurant in Albuquerque.)

This big, red barn in Edgewood is a great place to hang out. It's equipped with big screen TVs and has 22 beers on draft. Not bad for a restaurant in a town with fewer than 4000 residents.

If you've been hankering to try green chile on pizza, there are plenty of ways to do so here. Order the classic, which pairs pepperoni with green chile, or give your taste buds a good sear with the Barn Burner.

At Zeffiro, the focus is on perfecting the dough. It ferments for twenty-four hours and is then lightly charred in a dual-fuel oven. The result is authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. Any place that serves a pizza with blue cheese and walnuts is a winner in my book!

At Forghedaboudit, you can order upside-down pizza! In other words the sauce, which is both tangy and sweet, is poured on top.

The New York-style pizza here is so finger-lickin' good that it's been named the 17th best pizza joint in the country by "Time Out!"

Watch your pizza being tossed by hand at Cafe Rio. The Kitchen Sink pizza is particularly popular. This place gets busy fast, so it's often best to call in a to-go order.

The pizzas here achieve a wonderful level of crispness in a brick oven. Farina's has a great wine list and gives you the option of ordering gluten free pizza dough.

It's hard to resist pizzas with names like Devil Dog and Chupacabra! The latter packs plenty of heat and comes with the spicy marinara sauce. This is a strictly to-go or delivery place.

You expect pizza dough to be good at a bakery and Golden Crown Panaderia doesn't disappoint. Request blue corn dough or take things to a whole other level by trying the green chile crust. After all, in New Mexico, we can never have enough chile.
