Best Pizza in Santa Fe
Santa Fe, New Mexico — updated August 24, 2026
Santa Fe's pizza is scattered across donut counters, all-day diners and strip-mall storefronts rather than one pizza district. Here's where the ratings hold up, and where the evidence is still thin.
Listings verified
Santa Fe does not have a pizza row. The pies here turn up in odd places: a donut shop on Cerrillos Road that fires pizza on its late nights, an all-day diner off Rodeo Road, a counter out by Cities of Gold. That means hours matter more than usual, because several of these kitchens are only doing pizza for part of the week.
1. Whoo's Donuts Pizza and Brew
The strongest combination of rating and volume on this list: 4.4 stars across 590 reviews, which is enough feedback to call the score settled rather than promising. The Cerrillos Road shop starts at 7 a.m. as a donut counter, and the pizza-and-brew half of the name only works on the back end of the week. Listed hours run 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. the rest of the week, so an evening pie means planning for Thursday through Saturday. Locals on the Santa Fe food boards flagged the pizza addition early and have been pushing people toward it since.
2. Pizza Etc
A dedicated pizza operation rather than a kitchen that added pies to an existing menu, holding 4.3 stars from 183 reviews. That is a moderate sample, enough to be credible without being ironclad. The address to use is 68 Cities of Gold Rd, north of town; a former North Guadalupe Street location shows as closed on Yelp, so double-check before driving downtown. Hours listings disagree slightly, with one showing 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily and another running to 8 p.m., so aim for mid-afternoon or early evening rather than late. The menu runs beyond plain cheese into barbecue chicken and buffalo shrimp versions.
3. Joe's Diner & Pizza
The most reliable schedule in this group: open every day, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., with brunch running until 2:30 p.m. and breakfast served daily. The rating is 4.1 from 857 reviews, a large enough sample that the number is well established, and it sits below the two above it because this is a diner first and a pizzeria second. That is the trade: breakfast, lunch and dinner under one roof at 2801 Rodeo Rd, with pizza as one option among many. The kitchen has flagged menu updates coming, so the current lineup may shift.
4. Capeesh Pizza Co.
Thin evidence here, and worth saying plainly: 4.0 stars from just 16 reviews, which is too few to treat as a verdict. It earns a place because it is doing New York-style pies by the whole pizza and by the slice, including cheese, pepperoni, margherita and a vegan option, plus salads and craft drinks. The location is inside the 4250 Cerrillos Road complex, and Yelp lists hours starting at 11 a.m. with a 6 p.m. close on Monday and Tuesday, earlier than most pizza places in town. Treat it as a lunch stop.
What we left off
Il Vicino Wood Oven Pizza on West San Francisco Street carries the highest review volume of any pizza place we looked at in Santa Fe, but it operates locations beyond this city, which puts it outside our no-chain rule. If a downtown wood-fired pie is what you want, it is there at 321 W San Francisco St; it just is not a local independent, so it is not ranked above.
