Our favorite Pizza in Santa Fe by far. It took a couple years to find it, but once we did, it's all we want. Great people, great team, overall the best pizza around!

Delivery of pizza can sometimes cause the pizza to be soggy. Have had delivery on two different occasions and crispy crust! We love their thin crust pizza.

This was a very good pizza. The crust was great and the toppings seemed really fresh.Friendly staff that seemed genuinely nice and concerned about our dining experience.It is not a touristy place, which was nice. As a bonus, I think they were featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives."

The pizza is fantastic! I haven't been able to find pizza like this anywhere else in Santa Fe or Albuquerque. It's hot, well cooked, crunchy, delicious, and amazing! The service is always super friendly and the atmosphere is chill and relaxing. They have a pool table and sitting area upstairs, which could be cool for a group.

I'm a hopeless pizza addict, and an ardant fan of excellent pies. Doing my research before coming to the 505, I read that Back Road Pizza was voted Santa Fe's #1 Pizza restaurant for 9 years running (2012-2020), so I resolved to check this place out sooner, rather than later.My friend and I came for dinner one weekday evening and started off with a couple of small Caesar salads. These were crisp, fresh, and delicious, with dressing that was obviously homemade - a good start :-)Then it was time for the main event - pizzas!Reviewing the menu, I saw that they offer a wide assortment of toppings for those who want to build their own pie or add extras to one of their pre-configured pizzas. I've found that when trying a new pizza restaurant, the best experiences are usually had by ordering a pre-configured pie; I consulted with my Partner in Crime, and we decided to share two pizzas:- Norm (pepperoni, house made sausage, mushrooms, and black olives)- New Mexican (pepperoni, green chile, and red onions)We also ordered a pitcher of beer to share, and waiting for our pies to arrive. When they came, they looked wonderful, and smelled even better - we dug in and found that there were excellent! The tomato sauce is zesty and nicely balanced, with just the right kick to it; the toppings are obviously fresh, top-quality, and generous applied. That said, the star of this particular show is unquestionably the dough. Here's a quote from their web site to explain why the dough is so good: "We make a thin crust pizza with a Santa Fe twist: a perfect flour crust rolled in cornmeal for a unique flavor and texture".The pizzas were so good that we actually considered ordering more after we made them disappear. Instead we decided to make a point of returning to this wonderful new find very soon :-)

Besides the great pizza, try the green chile soup! Get a half and half pizza to sample types. You won't be disappointed.

This was the perfect pizza for us. We ordered a small goat and beet salad and a Gerald. The crust was thin just the way I love my pizza. The toppings were generous and delicious. The people working there were very friendly and it soon filled up. There's an upstairs where you can play pool. I really enjoyed the good and atmosphere.

Great thin crust pizza have been a couple of times when working in Santa Fe. My biggest complaint is the fountain tea. Please get rid of that and actually brew some decent iced tea Bad tea can be a deal breaker for me going to a restaurant

So much hoopla...so true! Grabbing a quick bite in Santa Fe for carrying out was a tough call, but friends and family all said Back Road Pizza was one to try.They were right on in saying it was one of the better pizza joints in town. We ordered a 1/2 & 1/2 Special which was half Veggie and the other half a carnivore's wet dream, Norms! The slightly charred, pizza crust was thin, crisp, and dusted with cornmeal---foldable like New York thin style. Toppings on the meaty side included good quality sausage, pepperoni, etc. The cheese and sauce, with perfect herbs and spices, accompanied the toppings on both halves, perfectly. We also ordered a salad with both Dill Vinaigrette and a Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side, too. Everything tasted excellent and the staff was fully masked up at the pick up window. A slight glitch on the salad was quickly remedied---nothing too big. So if you want a good, high quality pizza pie in Santa Fe, give your money to Back Road Pizza---they'll give you a culinary delight in exchange!
