What Are The Top-Rated Pizza Places In Lubbock, Texas?

So where would you go if you were new to town and wanted a truly great pizza?

This is going to be highly debatable. We are going to look at the top rated pizza places according to TripAdvisor, then double-check things with Yelp. The thing you need to remember is, sometimes a place with more reviews is more reliable and consistent than a place with just a few reviews (that may have just been left by friends and family). I've also included a little bit about how users view, or describe, the places and food.

1. Papa V's Pizza – ★5.0 (6 reviews)
With a perfect 5-star rating, Papa V’s takes the top spot. While the review count is low, those who've tried it swear by its quality.

2. Dario’s Pizza – ★4.9 (15 reviews)
A strong runner-up, Dario’s brings big flavor and almost flawless reviews. Locals clearly love it—this is one to try if you haven’t yet.

3. Italian Garden – ★4.5 (291 reviews)
A Lubbock staple, Italian Garden ties for the 4.5 club but wins the tiebreaker with an impressive volume of positive reviews.

4. Giorgio’s – ★4.5 (51 reviews)
This charming spot ties with Italian Garden for rating, but comes in just behind due to a smaller (yet passionate) reviewer base.

5. One Guy From Italy (University) – ★4.4 (401 reviews)
Consistently praised, this longtime favorite serves up authentic flavor with a side of nostalgia.

6. Orlando’s – ★4.3 (621 reviews)
Though tied in rating with others, Orlando’s dominates in total feedback. A Lubbock institution with staying power.

7. Pie Five Pizza – ★4.3 (49 reviews)
Fast, fresh, and customizable—Pie Five ties with Orlando’s but lands just behind due to fewer reviews.

8. Dion’s – Mixed Ratings (★4.5 & ★4.2)
Dion’s appears twice with different ratings, so we’re averaging it out in this final spot. Still, it remains a solid local choice for pizza fans.

Alright, now let's look at the top rated pizza places from Yelp.

1. Papa V Pizza – ★4.8 (87 reviews)
This local gem combines thin, greasy (in a good way) crust with loads of flavor. It's the most highly rated with a solid review count to back it up.

2. Marco’s Pizza – ★4.8 (8 reviews)
Small sample size, big praise. Reviewers call this Marco’s location “hands down the best pizza in Lubbock.”

3. Dario’s Pizza and Calzones – ★4.6 (69 reviews)
A fan favorite for made-to-order pies and calzones with great prices. Dario’s delivers on quality and quantity.

4. Atomic Lounge & Pizza Kitchen – ★4.5 (63 reviews)
Great pizza meets late-night vibes. Add wings, cocktails, and ambiance, and you’ve got a winner.

5. Candle Bar – ★4.3 (20 reviews)
A creative mix: artisan pizza and craft cocktails in a stylish setting. Definitely not your average pizza stop.

6. Dion’s Pizza – ★4.2 (84 reviews)
Dependable and better-than-average, Dion’s earns high marks for variety—pizza, salads, and sandwiches.

7. Giorgio’s Pizza – ★4.2 (61 reviews)
Known for pizza by the slice and perfectly foldable crusts. Save room for the cannoli.

8. One Guy from Italy (University) – ★4.2 (360 reviews)
Beloved for their pizza, calzones, and staff. This long-standing spot brings the comfort food vibes.

If you found all of this confusing, we've mushed all the ratings together, giving the top three spots overall to Dario's, Papa V's, and Marco's. Enjoy!
