Poppa Rollo's
Making their dough fresh every day since 1969, and using a secret recipe for their incredible pizza sauce, Poppa Rollo's is a great place to take the family for lunch or dinner. You can even get a veggie pizza on a gluten-free crust that's so good even your problematic uncle probably won't notice it's gluten-free.

Shorty's Pizza Shack
By now a Baylor institution, Shorty's serves up New York-style pizza, which you can get in 14", 18", or by-the-slice. The dough is hand-tossed every day and features a family- and pet-friendly outdoor patio with full bar service. I've never had a bad pizza at Shorty's. Their wings are solid, too, but you should treat yourself to Shorty's famous Pizza Pillows: pizza dough stuffed with cheese and toppings of your choice, folded like a pillow, and baked.

Slow Rise Slice House
Slow Rise features salads, wings (half-price on Mondays), meatballs, loaded fries (queso, bacon, green onions, sour cream, and optional jalapenos - which are a must, imo). However, you're here for pizza, and pizza ye shall receive. You can get whole pizzas with a gluten-free option, but it's a slice house, and they're serious about slices: Cheese, pepperoni, margherita, but the show-stealer is The Butcher: red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, hamburger, and bacon. They'll be around a while, but you can get in on the ground floor here and say you knew them when...
