Pizza Castle

It’s a divey place with pretty good cheap pizza.

Loved every bite! The crust is perfectly cooked! The ingredients were fresh. The sauce is the right amount, and the cheese is great quality and not greasy!!! The price is exceptional too! Overall I would say this is probably one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a very long time!!!

If you like New York pizza this is the place. I always try the cheese pizza as a test. The crust was chewy like it’s supposed to be. Well sauced and delicious.

Flat out good. Hand tossed fresh made pizza. If you are looking for a hidden gem hole in the wall pizza find this is it. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, but most importantly just dang good hold it with two hands pizza. Not too doughy, and just the right amount of sauce and toppings.

We just moved to ABQ and found this place using the Unilocal app. The food was delicious! The servings were huge! And there were lots of homemade ingredients. Not to mention the staff was friendly… above and beyond. Excellent experience!

Some of the greatest pizza NM has to offer! So happy that we can get East Coast style pizza right here in the 505! Pizza is life.

This is a great 35 year old pizza place. It has that old-​fashioned gather a few friends and hang out for a while feel. The pizza my girlfriend and I got was good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but not the worst. It was made to order. I got the meatballs and mushrooms on the pizza with garlic toast. It is a special they have called dinner for 2. The staff where friendly and one of the guys I talked to said he has worked there for 10 years. It is right down the street from another great NM, Abq, Local New Mexican food stop. We enjoyed ourselves.

it was my familys first time a friend from work recommended it and i walked it greeted the prices were great i had paid walked away and went back later and with no hesitation the gentlemen who took my order remembered my name and asked what i needed. if your looking for a lil hole in the wall place for pizza this is the place!!!

The times I have gone here I received great food and great service! Besides looking like a traditional little pizza joint (which I love), they have the pizza to go with a «mom and pop» taste. I would recommend giving them a try.

I’ve been back n forth to NYC for the past 15yrs & have lived on pizza joints & deli’s most of the time. The last place that impressed me was Freddie ‘n Peppers on W. 75^th & Amsterdam, right behind my hotel. Pizza Castle could easily hold their own against them! If real New York style pizza is your thing… go nowhere else. It’s perfectly «divey» just like the best pie joints in the city. Get a slice of cheeze and enjoy the crispy bottom, the perfect tomato sauce, the cheeze that glistens with the proper amount of oil & the soft airyness in the crust. Mmm… just like the city!

Small shop with high quality pies. Dough is a great texture with out over seasoning or that greasy feeling left on your fingers.
Though the store itself is a bit dated– it is not uncomfortable. I took my pie home and with a5 minute drive sitting on cold leather in a cold truck it was still hot when I arrived home.
Cheese and other toppings were very tasty and pie wad perfectly cooked.

Great staff. Great pizza. Perfect soft, chewy and crispy crust. This and Giovanni are my go to pizza joint in abq.

Love this place, been coming here for years. Great pizza and friendly staffs keep me coming back.

Our favorite pizza in town! We keep coming back even though we’ve moved to a less convenient (to Pizza Castle) location in ABQ. Always friendly, always fresh, and always local. Delicious.

Would Pizza Castle be 5 stars outside of ABQ? No. But man oh man, it’s among the best you’ll find here. Plus, I gotta give a bonus star shout out to my girl Ms. Pac-​Man. They’ve got the sit-​down tabletop version! My favorite way to spend 25 cents, hands down.
My advice is to order your pie well-​done. The few times I visited without doing so, I found the pizza needed just 2 more minutes in the oven.
Their green chile is fruity and delicious, and comes in hot or mild.

Still just as good as when I was a kid! This place is, and always has been LEGIT! I’ll be back very soon!

Only gave it one star because that’s the lowest I could go. As far as pizza places go it would probably be a three but compared to what Bob and Teresa had it doesn’t even deserve a one. Poor Bob is rolling over in his grave with the cheese that was on this pizza. Cheap cheese burns, cheap toppings make it worse. The only thing that was the same was the dough and the sauce. Our pizza’s were undercooked so we didn’t even enjoy that part of it. 5 people working all standing around doing nothing. It’s going to get worse for the new owner, I don’t see this place making it another year. What a shame! When we called to complain, no apology or any offer to fix the problem, just said he would let them know! Nice management skills! At least we still have Dion’s.

Pizza Castle has great pizza, but I will not dine in the restaurant. Its just so old and outdated and a little uhhh creepy. I don’t know I just don’t like the atmosphere. I would give them a higher rating based on their delicious pizza but the mushrooms are CANNED! Its a disgrace to pizza everywhere. Please start using fresh mushrooms I beg you! You are ruining a great pie with mediocre toppings!

Used to be much better. New owners don’t seem to care as much about quality as they did back in the day. First bad sign was when I got my slice with mushrooms and they had just put some canned/​sliced mushrooms on top of a warmed up slice of cheese. Drinks are more expensive than most places and the killer is they charge for refills. That in itself will make me cross a restaurant off my go to list. Salad was ok, pizza was alright once I took the canned shrooms off. Tasted almost like the original pizza castle pizza, but not quite.
On the plus side, staff was friendly and out going. Not enough that it makes up for the food by any means…
Used to eat here a lot but haven’t since it was sold. Decided to give it another try and I did. Definitely will not become a regular again… Shame :-(

I would NEVER have gone into a place called Pizza Castle. Sounds like a kids pizza place with bad pizza. SO WRONG!!!
I am so glad I read a bunch of reviews and gave it a shot. You walk in and are immediately enveloped in the smell of deliciousness. If you weren’t already hungry, you will be in about half a second. It’s warm and welcoming and just awesome.
We ordered a few different kinds of pizzas for poker night and WOW! Everything was just astonishingly good — truly just yum! The sauce is excellent, the crust is perfect, the pizzas are huge and the combination of ingredients is perfection.
The staff are really nice — big, burly guys cooking pizza and almost clueless about the register. The restaurant is very old school pizza joint from the 70s — formica tables, fake brick and video games. Comforting somehow.
I fervently wish they delivered. I would never order from anyone else.
So far, the best pizza we have had in ABQ over the past year and a half. Absolutely a huge recommendation!
