When you’re craving a perfect slice without emptying your wallet in Edinburg, TX, you might grab a quick slice at a chain or settle for a mediocre pie, but fortunately, you have better options. This border town actually boasts an impressive selection of spots serving outstanding, authentic pizza for about $20 a pie. Whether you want New York-style, Neapolitan, or Tex-Mex fusion, use this guide to find Edinburg’s best pizza joints.
Little Caesars Pizza
$ | (956) 378-9024 | WEBSITE
Little Caesars Pizza is the pizza joint you want in your neighborhood – better quality than the place with the long lines and soggy slices, but more convenient than a fancy pizzeria where you’ll wait 30 minutes and still pay too much. You can grab your order through the app for quick pickup or walk in for a friendly chat with the staff. Either way, your go-to here is the pretzel pizza, which comes out hot and satisfying with that unique crust you keep craving.
Pizza Patrón West University
$ | (956) 270-4261 | WEBSITE
Pizza Patrón West University is a pizza spot in Edinburg with an atmosphere somewhere between Domino’s and Pizza Hut, meaning there’s takeout service and some great deals, but you could also walk in for a quick bite after classes at the nearby university. You can choose your own toppings or go with any of the standard varieties, which come in personal and shareable sizes. A personal pie is pretty affordable, so get a side like the tasty wings as well.
Pizza Xpress Edinburg La Pizza Perfecta
$ | (956) 270-4995 | WEBSITE
When your family doesn’t feel like waiting in line at one of those big pizza chains, but you really want authentic Mexican-style pizza, head to Pizza Xpress Edinburg La Pizza Perfecta instead. The small, clean local spot serves it, along with recommended wings and tortas, plus dishes like sincronizada. You’ll rarely have trouble finding parking, the portions are pretty generous, and almost everything on the menu is under $15.
Schlotzsky’s
$ | (956) 994-9966 | WEBSITE
Schlotzsky’s has been around for years, and it’s still a fun spot that’s also practical. This place serves a solid menu of pizza and sandwiches – pepperoni, cheese, and specialty pies – plus classic American sides. Come with friends or pizza lovers for a moderately priced and reliable meal in the neighborhood.
The Pizzeria
$ | (956) 348-2754 | WEBSITE
The Pizzeria is a casual pizza spot that’s kind of tucked away in Edinburg, TX. They serve comfort food like Hawaiian pizza, which is thin, crispy, and flavorful, with generous toppings and fresh ingredients. This is a great lunch option (they have tasty specials under $10), but you can also use The Pizzeria for a relaxed dinner or a solo weeknight meal where you’ll be able to keep things under $25. Just know there might be a 30-45 minute wait.
Domino’s Pizza
$ | (956) 380-5199 | WEBSITE
Even if you order the pepperoni pizza at Domino’s Pizza with extra toppings and double cheese, you’ll only spend about $15. The pizza and sides come out quickly, and there tend to be lines of customers waiting at the counter for any of the 8 booths, so don’t plan on spending much time here. Ask for your pizza well-seasoned along with a bottle of soda.
Pieology Pizzeria Edinburg
$ | (956) 348-2412 | WEBSITE
There are a lot of dumb ways to spend $12, like buying a novelty pizza cutter shaped like a cartoon character or ordering a delivery from a place that takes an hour to arrive cold. A smart way to spend $12 is on a custom pizza at Pieology Pizzeria Edinburg. The cauliflower crust is topped with a generous amount of your chosen ingredients, and even if you add on a dessert (like the Nutella pizza), you’ll leave very satisfied for less than $20.
The staff goes above and beyond with fast service, though the dining room could use a good scrub.
Pizza Hut
$ | (956) 381-0991 | WEBSITE
Head to Pizza Hut for a pizza meal that will feel like you’re getting more value than you actually are. If you’re looking to keep things comfortably under the $20 per person mark, bring someone you enjoy sharing with and get a large pizza, some salads, and drinks. The atmosphere is just a little bit nostalgic, but not so much that it’ll feel awkward to come with a group of friends. It’s a reliable spot overall.
Cordon’s Taste of Chicago
$ | (956) 383-4567 | WEBSITE
Cordon’s Taste of Chicago is a lively, warm space that feels like a lot of other family-friendly pizza joints in Edinburg, except for the fact that they make some of our favorite Chicago-style pies in the city. Come solo for a cheese deep dish and a soda at the counter, or bring the kids and share the Supreme pizza (which is loaded with toppings and clearly homemade).
Peter Piper Pizza
$$ | (956) 380-6666 | WEBSITE
Sure, you could spend $12 on the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet at Peter Piper Pizza, and you’d leave feeling pretty good about yourself. But the full Peter Piper Pizza experience includes some pizza, like the fully cooked and piping hot slices and the fresh and rot-free lettuce from the salad bar, and a nostalgic feel in the cozy atmosphere. Pair those with a friendly staff and sit at a clean table or a window seat.
