Map of where to find the best pizza in Amarillo:

The Local’s Favorite: 575 Pizzeria

575 Pizza first opened in 2004, and their gourmet pizzas quickly proved so popular that they opened a second location just a few years later.

Both locations now rock a long list of chef-crafted pizzas, so you can find everything from a “Green Chile Cheeseburger” pizza to a goat cheese “Green Striped Piggy” and of course… “The Omni”… a meat and mushroom style pizza that Urbanspoon once rated the best overall pizza in America!

Aside from the amazing pizza, 575 has also developed a loyal following thanks to head chef Brian Kelleher’s active role in the community. 575 frequently hosts popular tasting events, pub crawls, local fundraisers, and even a popular podcast highlighting the best in Amarillo’s food scene.

The result is what might be the best crust in town, topped with unique ingredients for an unbelievable pizza. As a bonus, they’ve also got a pretty solid craft beer selection.
