Santa Fe has a surprisingly diverse pizza scene, from New York-style slices and neighborhood pizza joints to wood-fired pies and sourdough crusts.
I’ve eaten my way through many of the pizza places around town, and this guide covers the spots I’d actually recommend to locals and visitors.
If you only have time for one, start with [your actual favorite].
For wood-fired pizza, head to Esquina, while Pizza Centro is one of my favorite choices for a classic slice.
