New Mexico: Richie B's Pizza

Richie B’s Pizza in Albuquerque is a true mom-and-pop shop that many say serves the best foldable New York–style pizza in the Southwest. The menu keeps it straightforward with only six specialty pies, but they cover the spectrum — from a classic pepperoni-and-pineapple combo to the meat-lover’s Cattleman’s Special (topped with sirloin steak, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, garlic, and onions). You can grab a quick slice on the go, a standard 18-inch pie for the family, or if you’re feeling ambitious, tackle their giant 25-inch pizza. In fact, Richie B’s is home to the self-proclaimed largest pizza slice in the Southwest — the “Monster Slice” — a novelty that draws curious first-timers and devoted regulars alike. Gimmicks aside, it’s the solid New York pizza flavor and friendly service that keep people coming back for more.
