The Best Pizza In Fresno California

From the delicate thin-crust that comes straight out of a wood-fired oven to the calorific monstrosity loaded with all manner of toppings, there’s a pizza for everyone here in Fresno. Take a look at our list to find out where to go.

Popolo’s Pizza

Restaurant, Italian

This old-school family restaurant with a host of inviting seating booths and serves up a range of different pizzas for their customers. Fans of Mediterranean flavors can choose from ingredients like olives, feta cheese, pesto, and garlic, while the more adventurous may want to opt for the inventive pizzas that translate dishes like hot wings, potato skins, and Philly cheesesteaks into toppings.

Mattie’s Wood Fired Pizza

Mattie’s rustic, hand-crafted, Italian-style pizzas have been a hit in Fresno, partly due to the team’s creative approach. Take the pizza that combines fresh basil, fontina, smoked almonds and pears for a taste experience you’ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in California, let alone Fresno.

The Annex Kitchen

Restaurant, Italian, Contemporary

Traditional thin-crust Neapolitan-style pizzas are available at The Annex Kitchen. This elegant Italian restaurant doesn’t specialize in pizza, but just like the rest of the items on the menu, their pizzas are cooked to perfection.

Premo Pizza

There are no pretenses at Premo Pizza, which is evident in the name of their most decadent pizza, the Heart Attack Special: a mouth-watering combination of pepperoni, linguiça, Italian sausage, two kinds of bacon, ground beef, and salami. Generosity in toppings and in service is guaranteed here, and every pizza is made fresh to order. Downtown Fresno | © Rich Johnstone/Flickr

Mike’s Pizzeria

Mike’s Pizzeria has been a part of the Fresno culinary scene for over half a century. Crowds still flock to this cozy spot today due to the traditional family recipes, which have been passed down through generations. Along with Italian staples like ravioli, lasagna, and cannelloni, the team here at Mike’s also make pizzas but leave the toppings up to their guests. Chicken and Ranch pizza | © Bill Roehl/Flickr

Mama Mia Pizzeria

Restaurant, Italian

Mama Mia Pizzeria’s unassuming location in the middle of a strip mall hides the fact that it is a quality establishment. Most customers choose to take out, but there are a few coveted tables for those wanting to enjoy the restaurant’s quaint ambience.
