There are literally dozens of pizza places in town and it’s hard to tell which is the best. Excluding corporate chains, here’s a list of where to start.
Pizza Shuttle
1601 W. 23rd St.
$4-$15
Known to some as Shitsa Puddle, nothing beats a two-fer when you and your friend are drunk watching late night infomercials. It’s cheap and you pay for what you get. It’s a tradition not to be messed with and with two pizzas for $10? Unbeatable.
Two stars
Rudy’s Pizzeria
704 Massachussetts St.
$2-$20
If you haven’t heard of Rudy’s, you should be shamed. You have to head downstairs to get to it but the red wine sauce makes it worth it. They have three sauces and more than 40 ingredients, which makes for lots of amazing pizza.
Four stars
Wheat State Pizza
711 W. 23rd St.
$4-$19
This is one of my personal favorites for actual pizza. Their wheat crust is mouthwatering. It makes you feel okay about eating pizza if you’re trying to watch your weight, because it’s made out of wheat… and wheat’s good for you, right?
Four stars
Papa Keno’s
1035 Massachussetts St.
$3-$40
Save the best for last. Pizza by the slice has never been done better. Everything about pizza is great when the slices are as big as your face. You can also have a beer with your pizza, or fresh hand-made breadsticks that are better than any Italian restaurant’s.
