. And as an unapologetic pizza addict, I can happily say that this place has ranking in my list of Top 5 Absolute Favorite Pizza Places in Albuquerque. Order the Chupacabra--pepperoni, meatballs, hot green chile, fire-roasted red peppers, and spicy marinara sauce. Spicy, but not enough to burn your taste buds. Every New Mexican's delight!" - Sara M. The Blue Grasshopper Brew Pub "We love Blue Grasshopper in Rio Rancho for our little date nights. We had the youngin' this time and decided to try out the new location. The pizzas are DELICIOUS as always!! We had the Margherita and the Chicken Pesto! The beer list was front and center and easy to order by number. The owner came over and talked to us to make sure our time there was pleasant. He was a really nice guy. I definitely recommend both of their locations...this one might be a little more kid-friendly because of the space." - J G. Giovannai's Pizzeria "I moved to ABQ four years ago and haven't been compelled to Yelp, but after the consistently amazing pizza I've gotten from Giovanni's, I feel like I need to let people know that this is, hands-down, the best pie in the Duke City. We're talking classic thin-crust New York style pizza with crisp flavorful crust, tangy mozz, and a reserved layer of herb sauce that holds up the flavor of the fresh toppings." - Josh H. Eclectic Urban Pizzeria & Tap House "We were so excited to try it I lost track of the number of items we ordered. Everything was great! So many fun options for pizza - very flavorful and the crust is great. I recommend the North Shore pizza. The mac and cheese was very creamy and cheesy - just the way we like it. We also tired the soup, chips and some other items. All tasted so fresh and flavorful. The name says it - there are many options depending upon what you are looking for. I agree with the other post about the owners being so nice and so passionate about their food and their customers having a great time. Highly recommend." - Mark R. Firenze Pizzeria "Found this unassuming place on Yelp. Excellent pizza with quality ingredients in the right proportions, just right. Love the thin crust and slightly smoky flavor from the pizza oven. I had the basil mint tea, it was light and refreshing. Highly recommend you try this place if you're craving good pizza." Farina Pizzeria "Are you having a pizza craving and stuck in ABQ? Go to Farina! Are you living in ABQ and craving amazing pizza? Go to Farina!! I'm considered by many the pizza guru of the West. This is in my top three pizzas of all time. Lombardis in Manhattan, Cristinos in Clearwater and Farina in ABQ, who would have thought??" - Jeremy S. Il Vicino Wood Oven Pizza "I have to say this is probably one of my favorite pizza establishments in Albuquerque. Brick oven pizzas, gourmet sandwiches/salads as well as giant calzones!!! It's pretty hard to go wrong here unless you are lactose intolerant. " - Mateo V. Amore Neapolitan Pizzeria "Oh do I love pizza and Amore has some of the best pizza in town. The location they have at the green jeans area is perfect. You can order a pizza and have a beer at Santa Fe brewery while you wait for your pizza." -Jonathan H. Golden Crown Panaderia "This place is such a gem! My mom and I came here twice during my two-week visit in ABQ. I'm from NM, and I've never been here... Both times, we ordered a large veggie pizza with green chile, on a blue corn crust. We also ordered it without cheese (vegan) and it was absolutely delicious. Crisp and flavorful. The pizza also came with a few extra biscochitos. My mom enjoyed one of their home brewed teas and I indulged in one of the many beers they offer." -Nydia V.

So much more than just another pizza joint, Il Vicino Wood Oven Pizza restaurant in Nob Hill has been a popular neighborhood eatery since 1992. The restaurant is headed up by Chef Tom White who is dedicated to taking the humble pizza pie to new heights. The restaurant features a traditional Italian Wood-fired oven which delivers your hand-made pizza with a thin and delicate crust and the delicious aromas that only a wood-fired oven can achieve.

Since then, it has gathered a large fan following for its delicious wood oven pizzas that are inspired by popular eateries in San Francisco and Italy. Over the years, the founders have expanded their menu to other popular Italian dishes including calzones, paninis, and Piadina flatbread sandwiches. On the menu, you’ll find a wide selection of specialty wood oven pizzas, including the Molta Carne, Campagnola, and Gamberoni.

The decor is the first thing that will grab you when you walk into Il Vicino. Trendy lighting, colors, casual, yet hip ambience and at the Montgomery location, the lion's mouth as the opening to the wood oven stove. Then the food will definitely make you smile, the heaping salads and the pizzas, with that wood oven taste - so good.

Stop on Central Ave. (Route 66) at the Standard Diner and closer to Nob Hill, Il Vicino or Brasserie La Provence.

One of the city’s original wood-fired pizzerias and first local microbreweries, you can’t go wrong with a pie here. The wood-fired pizzas vary from the Margherita to gourmet-inspired toppings such as goat cheese, fiery shrimp or roasted chicken. Feel like something different?

Il Vicino Wood Oven Pizza is a contemporary Italian pizzeria serving authentic wood-fired pizza and more. My favorite thing about Il Vicino is that if you dine in with kids, they’ll bring you a ball of dough to play with before dinner. That’s serious kid entertainment.

I go to Il Vicino in my neighborhood for wood oven pizza; they also have a microbrewery called Canteen Brewhouse that I frequent. I also go to a place called Vinaigrette a lot for delicious, fancy salads. You’ll also find me at the bars at Scalo and Two Fools.
