Best Pizza Places in Burlington
Burlington, Vermont — updated August 22, 2026
Wood-fired Neapolitan downtown, sourdough slices by the counter, and a late-night window on Main Street: where Burlington's pizza ratings actually hold up.
Listings verified
Burlington's pizza splits along a clear line: the sit-down Neapolitan places downtown that open at 5pm, and the counter-service spots on Williston Road and Main Street that start slinging slices at 11:30 in the morning. The ratings below are ordered by how convincingly each one answers the question, with review volume treated as the measure of how settled a score is. Several of the busiest kitchens sit in South Burlington rather than the downtown grid, so plan the drive.
1. Pizzeria Verità
The highest-rated pizza in the group and the one with the deepest evidence behind it: 4.7 across 971 reviews, which is about as settled as a rating gets in this city. It is a dinner-only operation on St Paul Street, open seven days a week from 5pm, closing at 9pm Sunday through Thursday and 10pm Friday and Saturday. Dine-in and takeout both run. Wednesdays bring $5 off Margherita pizzas, which is the night to come if you want the plainest version of what the kitchen does. Listed as a bar as well as a pizzeria, so it suits a later, slower meal rather than a quick slice.
2. Folino's Pizza - Burlington
The best option in town if you want a slice rather than a whole pie. Folino's makes naturally leavened sourdough pizza cooked at 650 to 700 degrees, and slices are available Monday through Friday from open until 4pm: cheese and pepperoni every day, plus one rotating special slice for each day of the week. Doors open at 11:30am seven days, though posted closing times vary between sources, so call if you are aiming for the last hour. At 4.5 from 676 reviews, it is a well-tested score, and the South Union Street address puts it within walking distance of downtown.
3. Mr. Mikes Pizza
The Main Street choice for eating after most kitchens have shut. Published hours differ across listings, but several show service running past midnight and into the early hours on the weekend, alongside standard 11am openings on weekdays. Alongside pizza there is craft beer and a run of bar food: wings, subs and fried things. The 4.3 rating comes from 617 reviews, enough volume to trust. Hours here are the thing to verify before you go, since the late-night window is not the same every night of the week.
4. Barnyard Wood Crafted Pizza
The most-reviewed pizza place on this list, with 984 reviews behind a 4.1, meaning the score reflects a lot of visits rather than a small enthusiastic sample. Wood-fired pizza on Williston Road in South Burlington, open seven days: 11am to 9pm Monday through Thursday, 11am to 10pm Friday and Saturday, and an earlier 8pm close on Sunday. The 11am start makes it one of the few kitchens here where a wood-fired pie is an option at lunch. Parking and highway access are easier than anything downtown.
5. Zachary's Pizza - South Burlington
A long-running local operation with sibling kitchens in Colchester and Milton; this is the Williston Road branch. It holds 4.1 from 852 reviews, a well-established average, and keeps the same schedule as its siblings: 11am to 9pm Sunday through Thursday, 11am to 10pm Friday and Saturday. The South Burlington location also runs a family center that opens later in the day, which makes it the most kid-oriented address in this lineup. Straightforward rather than artisanal, and priced and paced accordingly.
6. Ken's Pizza and Pub
The Church Street Marketplace standby, in business since 1973 and open every day. It carries the lowest rating here, 3.8, but from 878 reviews, so that number is settled rather than the result of a bad month. The draw is location and hours: noon to 9pm Sunday through Wednesday, noon to 10pm Thursday and Friday, and an 11:30am start on Saturday. Worth noting that the posted hours apply to the bar, and the kitchen may close earlier depending on staffing. The menu runs past pizza into salads and a house-made spinach artichoke dip.
