Capital Pizza

If I could describe the perfect pizza crust and then have someone make it, I think it would turn out like the crust at Capital Pizza. Soft, chewy (in a good way), and warm on the inside, lightly crisped on the outside. The pizza is not soggy at all even though they don't hold back on toppings. There are lots of options for traditional and specialty pizzas, and a really extensive beer list. I typically love a BBQ chicken pizza, so I had to try the Smokehouse pizza which is similar but has pulled pork instead of chicken. It was SO GOOD. Meat lover's also was delightful and lived up to its name. The place is unassuming, there is parking available, and the service is very good.

Update: It was so good we went back after a few weeks. This time, I had the special (Capital Cordon Bleu) and the flavor was everything I'd hoped for and more. The yellow topping is dijon drizzle. This place is consistently delicious. It'll be tough to try another pizza place in Lubbock in the future!

Update 2: A few times, the crust has been a bit off (thinner and a little overcooked) but that is not the norm, as long as you don't order a thin-crust pizza (definitely opt for thick crust here!). This is still the best pizza place in Lubbock and it could rival pizza places anywhere.

Ordered the special green chile chicken pizza and cheese bread. It was delicious all around. My husband said something was missing on the pizza but he likes his green chilies a bit spicier and these were mild. They were perfect for anyone who doesn’t like it can’t handle spicy. Delicious sauce. The cheese bread was perfect! Great service. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely come back here again, but try a different pizza next time.

We got the smokehouse pizza and it was REALLY good. It is top 5 best pizzas I have ever had.
The atmosphere was a western rustic style. It is a cute simple place to watch a football game while drinking a cold one.

My wife and I have been here several times over the years! Solid consistent fantastic service. Always a perfect experience, not sure why I haven’t ever in the past put a review for this place. However this time around, I wanted to share because it’s such a great pizza joint. We come to Lubbock a lot and this is a go to place for great Calzones and so many other options to choose from. Highly recommend!!!!
