Bring A Pizza Home From These Corpus Christi Hot Spots

A good pizza is a work of art. With the perfect ratio of crust to sauce to cheese, the freshest and highest quality toppings, and the ideal bake, the ultimate pizza can rival any dish served up in some stuffy white-tablecloth restaurant. And the best part? You don’t have to dress up for a pizza date. If you’re having it delivered, you don’t even have to put on shoes. With that in mind and a craving for a cheesy pie brewing in your soul, check out a few of the best pizzerias in the Corpus Christi area.

New York Pizza Co.

Who knew you could get a tasty and traditional New York-style pie in the heart of Texas? New York Pizza Co. is located at 5838 South Staples, Corpus Christi, TX 78413. The menu features a variety of authentic Italian pasta dishes and other fare in addition to the standout pizzas. Dine-in patrons enjoy a casual and cozy atmosphere with red-checked tablecloths and a family-friendly vibe. Try a specialty pizza like the Chicken Alfredo, the fully loaded Brooklyn Bomber, the Greek (with spinach and feta), or the Texas (with smoked brisket, smoked sausage, or smoked turkey). Or, stick to the tried-and-true favorites and pick your own toppings. Writes one enthusiastic reviewer: “We stopped by tonight for the first time, and I will say that this is the best pizza in Corpus! We had a great time from the moment we walked in … I enjoyed the environment and the family atmosphere.”

Grimaldi’s

Grimaldi’s may be a chain, but its commitment to quality, the freshness of its ingredients, and its delicious house-made dough and sauce set this pizzeria apart. So, too, do its multiple awards. One of the secrets to Grimaldi’s success may be that they cook their pizzas to crisp-crust perfection in a coal-fired brick oven. Menu favorites include the Garden Pesto Pizza, the White Pizza with Garlic, and the Sausage & Wine-Braised Onion Pizza. Traditional pies can be topped with everything from artichoke hearts to sun-dried tomatoes, prosciutto to ricotta – plus all your tasty standbys. The Corpus Christi location can be found at 5488 South Padre Island, Suite 102.
