Boise's Pizza Scene Is Better Than You Think
For a city its size, Boise punches well above its weight when it comes to pizza restaurants in Boise. You've got a nearly 30-year-old New York-style institution, a Neapolitan spot that Food and Wine named the best pizza in Idaho, a wood-fired pan pizza that Reader's Digest crowned the best in the state, and a late-night slice shop that Food Network put on the national map. Whether you're a thin-crust purist or a deep-dish devotee, Boise pizza is worth taking seriously.
Best New York Style Pizza in Boise
Guido's Original New York Style Pizza
Guido's has been slinging hand-tossed New York-style pizza in downtown Boise for nearly 30 years, and the formula hasn't changed much. Giant foldable slices, great cheese-to-sauce ratio, chewy crust, and a no-frills atmosphere that feels authentically like a neighborhood slice shop. The pepperoni, white pie, and loaded Special are the classics to order. Two locations: downtown on 5th Street and off Chinden.
Piehole
Food Network named Piehole Idaho's best pizza slice, and the late-night crowd will tell you it's well-deserved. The Potato/Bacon slice is the most Idaho thing on any menu in the city and is available by the slice at both the downtown and Broadway locations. If you've ever ended a night out in Boise with a stop here, you already know.
Americana Pizza
A longtime local staple with a loyal following, Americana is the kind of reliable neighborhood pizza spot that Boise is lucky to have. Classic New York-influenced pies, solid slices, and a down-to-earth vibe that keeps people coming back regularly.
Best Wood-Fired and Neapolitan Pizza in Boise
The Wylder
Reader's Digest named The Wylder the best pizza in Idaho, and it's easy to see why. The dough ferments for 48 hours, producing a crisp yet airy pan-style crust that stands apart from the wood-fired trend everyone else is chasing. Toppings feature local Idaho ingredients, and the Honey Badger with sausage, spicy honey, and goat cheese is the standout. The Gem State of Mind has a potato on it, because, of course, it does.
Casanova Pizzeria
Food and Wine named Casanova the top pizza place in Idaho. A beloved Boise staple that closed for six years before reopening on Fairview, and locals were thrilled to have it back. Traditional Neapolitan style, thin crust, handmade with high-quality ingredients, and baked in a scorching hot oven. The kind of pizza that makes you understand why people are so particular about it.
Red Bench Pizza
Red Bench serves classic Neapolitan-style pizza, focusing on fresh, local ingredients and wood-fired cooking. With two locations, one on South Vista and one in Eagle, it's consistently one of the most recommended pizza spots in the city. Original topping combinations surprise you alongside the classics.
Tony's Fine Dining
Tony's brings an upscale Neapolitan approach with imported Italian tomatoes, house-pulled mozzarella, and charred airy crusts in a sleek setting attached to the Boise Contemporary Theater. The Funghi with mushrooms and truffle oil, and the Diavola with spicy salami and olives are the moves. A great pre-show dinner option downtown.
Best Local Pizza Spots Worth Knowing in Boise
Flying Pie Pizzeria
Flying Pie has been a Boise institution for over 40 years, with seven locations across the Treasure Valley. The Habanero Pizza is their claim to fame and the thing locals point visitors toward. It's the kind of spot that every Boise resident has a memory attached to.
Spitfire Craft Pizza and Pints
Spitfire serves Detroit-style deep-dish pizza, baked with a soft base and a crunchy, cheesy crust. For anyone who misses Midwest-style pizza or just wants something different from the usual, this South Vista spot delivers. Creative stone-baked pies with both classic and offbeat toppings, plus a solid rotating craft beer menu.
3 Wood Pizza and Pub
A warm, neighborhood pizza pub with outstanding service and consistently well-made pies. The chicken pesto calzone is mentioned as much as the pizzas, and the thin crust is a go-to for locals. A welcoming spot that earns its regulars.
Black Moon
A newer spot in Garden City that has quickly built a devoted following. Creative flavor combinations, quality ingredients, and the kind of energy that comes from a place that's still proving itself and doing it well. Worth going out of your way for.
Best Pizza for a Night In (Delivery and Takeout)
When you don't want to leave the couch, Boise pizza delivery options are solid. Guido's delivers from both locations and holds up well in transit. Flying Pie has the most locations across the valley, making it the most convenient option for most zip codes. Hit List also consistently ranks well for delivering pizza in Boise.
