What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Upper Crust Pizza is celebrated for its unique New Mexican-inspired pizzas and its historic, cozy adobe atmosphere. Many praise the quality of the ingredients and the customizable options, including various crust types. However, some diners have noted issues with customer service and found the gluten-free pizza to be a disappointment, with one reviewer describing it as overpriced and having a soggy crust.
"Great food, friendly service, relaxed atmosphere.
We had large 15 in Meat Treat Pizza which comes with Canadian bacon, sausage, pepperoni, and a vegetable of choice (we got mushrooms).
The pizza crust was light and airy, baked to perfection with a satisfying crunch. The cheese was perfectly melted with the toppings perfectly cooked.
We sat outside in the outdoor seating area where there was plenty of shade and a nice breeze.
5/5 stars, I would definitely recommend you check this place out."

"Hit this place for lunch on a Thursday. Wasn't busy and we were served fairly quickly. I ended up with a bonus salad, and everything was fresh and made to order. I'm hoping next time to have enough time to try the pizza. Not far from the Plaza with reasonable prices."
Jesse Yates
"Gave 3 ⭐️’s! Ordered two small pizzas. One regular combo the other, a small Gluten free pizza. The combo was well received and looked tasty. The other GF pizza paled in comparison! Image pizza fixings on top of a hardy cracker.
I encourage the managers of upper crust to do the tiniest bit of homework to change up your dough. So many fabulous GF options. Please don’t make customers miss out.
The vibe was lively. Decor was a toned down version of Santa Fe charm. The staff were friendly. If I go back, I’ll order a salad( looked delicious)."

You’ll smell the delicious aromas of Upper Crust Pizza from down the block. I ordered a salad here to cancel out all the hearty food I was eating. While I was waiting for my order I was having second thoughts because not only did the pizzas smell delicious, they looked just as good.

Upper Crust has to be one of the oldest pizza places in town, having originally opened its doors in 1979 in an old jewelry store. Today they still bake tasty pies at the Old Santa Fe Trail location and have a second spot out in Eldorado. Both have delicious pies and both deliver.

If you have to order gluten free, I wouldn’t recommend this pizza. Overpriced at $30.00 for a small gluten free pizza with two toppings. Crust was so soggy, loaded with sauce and clumped on cheese.
