There’s a range to great pizza in Laredo. On one end, you’ve got the kind of pie that requires a reservation six weeks out and costs as much as your car payment. If that’s your style, check our fine dining guide. This list celebrates spots that are every bit as delicious but far more accessible—the kind of places where the first bite makes you feel like a kid discovering pizza all over again.
Domino’s Pizza
$ | (956) 726-1974 | WEBSITE
Is Domino’s Pizza a restaurant or a delivery hub? Yes. And that’s why it’s so reliable. Pull into the spacious Laredo parking lot on a Friday evening and the scene will be split between families grabbing their orders and drivers hustling out with hot boxes. It’s a well-oiled machine that works as long as you don’t mind the occasional driver speeding through the lot. But the food here is no compromise. Their pizza and wings are consistently good.
The later you order here, the faster they deliver (and they’re open till midnight most nights).
Chuck E. Cheese
$$ | (956) 729-1300 | WEBSITE
Arcade games, pizza slices, and the joyful shrieks of kids hitting jackpots—Chuck E. Cheese has perfected the formula for a lively family outing. The blend of the restaurant’s remodeled, welcoming look and the value of the silver yearly pass at $11.99 a month makes it ideal for a weekend reminder that simple fun is still out there. The pizzas are delicious.
But it’s the staff, their genuine friendliness, and the floor buzzing with happy children that make it feel like stepping into a community birthday party. After your second slice, you’ll be high-fiving the manager and swapping game tips with a nearby parent.
Rock & Roll Pizzeria
$ | (956) 568-2400 | WEBSITE
Rock & Roll Pizzeria is a pizza joint where the staff has a sixth sense for when you’re down to your last slice. Expect fantastic crispy-crust pizzas, fresh toppings, and a lineup of sodas with ice cubes clear enough to read a novel through. The space is versatile enough for pizza dates at a table or a quick curbside pickup before a concert. But it’s probably best not to make concrete plans after—Rock & Roll Pizzeria is so fun you’ll just want to cancel them and make this your entire night.
Papa Johns Pizza
$ | (956) 937-2990 | WEBSITE
During the day, people walk in and out of here lugging warm pizza boxes from Papa John’s, the pleasant establishment that operates with a newly renovated appearance. But at night, Papa John’s turns into a pizza spot worthy of a quick weeknight meal with friends who like to enjoy hot, fresh pies while watching the game. After you eat delicious pizzas like their classic pepperoni or cheese, stay for some sodas and conversation.
Just make sure to find a moment to appreciate the courteous staff who handle online orders with quick turnaround times for pickup.
Jalapeños Pizza & Wings
$ | (956) 722-7777 | WEBSITE
The pizza at Jalapeños makes you look up from your slice and exchange wide-eyed grins with your family. Food is comforting here, and it’s the spot to prioritize if life’s been one big blur of chain pizza lately. Grab a booth by the window and watch the kitchen produce The Maui pizza combo, crispy wings, and cheesy calzones out of a blazing oven like it’s a magical pizza machine.
The restaurant matches that lively, family-friendly energy with bright walls that reflect laughter to the point where you barely notice the classic rock hits playing in the background.
550 Pizzeria
$ | (956) 602-0082 | WEBSITE
Loving 550 Pizzeria is as natural as craving pizza on a Friday night—it just happens. This is Laredo’s pizza culture served up with genuine warmth. The whole dining area hums with the comfortable energy of regulars who’ve found their spot. The aroma of baking crust (and the sight of those half-and-half pies) makes you smile before you even order. And staff members occasionally check on tables with such genuine care they feel like family friends dropping by.
Cicis Pizza
$ | (956) 712-8646 | WEBSITE
We did not expect to have so much fun at this Laredo spot. But the pizza buffet is a good time from the second they drop a complimentary breadstick basket on your table (whether or not you’re particularly hungry). The welcoming restaurant is great for families, because portions are unlimited and no one cares if your kids are being loud. It’s also perfect for birthdays, mostly because their games area has this arcade machine remix of Pac-Man, which they keep at a kid-friendly volume.
Come on a Saturday afternoon and you’ll probably hear it seven times.
Peter Piper Pizza
$$ | (956) 523-0987 | WEBSITE
It’s official: Peter Piper Pizza is the best family spot in Laredo right now. This is the way it should be. The lunch buffet is a triumph in casual dining. The party area is full of colorful decorations, high ceilings, and big round tables. The game corner is where every kid in this city wants to be on a Saturday afternoon. The entire restaurant screams celebration like candles on a birthday cake.
And your effort for grabbing a slice will be a meal full of crisp-crust pizza, fresh salad, and a renewed faith in family-friendly restaurants.
Wizard Wicks Pizza (Laredo’sOriginal)
$ | (956) 754-5606 | WEBSITE
We get why you might hesitate about a place called Wizard Wicks Pizza. But this spot on a bustling Laredo strip is an evening of garlic-scented air and dancing with friendly, down-to-earth staff. The reasonably priced pizzas are solid, but the live weekend music truly steals the show. The owner weaves through the crowd, chatting with families and encouraging everyone to tap along. Get ready when they hand you a fresh slice of that J Bomb pie.
It means the local band is about to start, and it’s time to settle in and feel like you’re part of Laredo’s vibrant, artsy heartbeat.
PIZZA BOX
$ | (956) 568-3132 | WEBSITE
This local pizza spot in Laredo serves up exceptional pies and pasta to a steady stream of regulars. Inside the kid-friendly dining room, there are TVs showing old school WWE wrestling, servers like Ray providing amazing customer service, and cheese breadsticks you won’t stop talking about for weeks.
The menu rotates popular items like the meat lovers pizza and chicken alfredo pasta, and you can find more info about their great deals when you order (we could not recommend the spectacular cheese breadsticks more). Orders for team meals and gatherings fill up fast, so keep an eye on their schedule for timely service. Also, go for the family deal for about $8 extra. You get larger portions, extra sides, and access to their full variety menu (including the chicken alfredo pasta).
