The beauty of Buckeye’s pizza scene is its delicious diversity—from New York thin crust to Chicago deep-dish to authentic Neapolitan. You’ll find all of Buckeye’s finest pies represented in this guide (though we can’t promise they’ll deliver to your couch). So bookmark these spots for your next pizza pilgrimage. Whether that’s tonight or next week is entirely your call.
Argento’s Pizza & Wings
$ | (623) 386-9191 | WEBSITE
Argento’s has been a local favorite for years and is probably the one pizza spot your neighbor who’s ordered from here exactly once raves about. Reputation aside, this family-friendly restaurant in Buckeye still makes some of our favorite pies in the area. The pizzas are wood-fired, and the tangy, well-seasoned sauce is a perfect counterpart to the generous toppings. Also, the Meat Lovers pizza comes with a side of garlic knots that soak everything up, so save some room for those.
Godfather’s Pizza Express
$$ | (623) 386-9395 | WEBSITE
Godfather’s Pizza Express in Buckeye won’t be going anywhere anytime soon, so you can plan on checking out this reliable spot whenever you’re craving a classic meal. You’ll find them consistently serving their excellent 1970s-style pizzas, making them a popular choice for those seeking a hearty eat. The menu stays the same across locations, but you can expect all of Godfather’s staples, like rich, heavy pies that are stick-to-your-ribs good.
And if their satisfying quality and familiar atmosphere also happen to be what you’re looking for, head over there too.
Barro’s Pizza
$ | (623) 225-7589 | WEBSITE
Barro’s Pizza has been a popular spot in Surprise for years, and it’s easy to see why. The menu features their famous thin-crust pizzas, standout wings, and large customizable salads. The Habanero Mango wings deliver a nice balance of flavor with a slow heat that builds gradually, while the Barro’s Special pizza is tasty enough to order again. Friendly staff keep service quick, and the nostalgic atmosphere with 80’s music playing adds to the charm.
Just know that consistency can be hit-or-miss—pizzas sometimes arrive with uneven sauce distribution, and wings ordered extra crispy occasionally come out soft. Still, with fair prices and plenty of parking, it remains a solid choice for a casual meal.
Palermo’s Pizza
$ | (623) 386-7222 | WEBSITE
Palermo’s Pizza is from the people who know how to run a neighborhood spot, and somehow (whether it’s pizza, wings, family dining, or sports viewing) everything this team does is welcoming. We suspect there’s some sort of secret ingredient in their hospitality. But we’re not here to talk about that, we’re here to tell you about their wings. Their Dry-rub Lemon Pepper wings have such a fantastic seasoning that they don’t need any sauce.
Also, it would be irresponsible for us to not mention that their extra hot wings are excellent. Order sides like garlic knots, a fresh salad, and prepare to require an embarrassing amount of napkins while watching the game in their lively, clean dining room where the friendly staff treats everyone like family.
Ciao Grazie
$$ | (623) 853-1717 | WEBSITE
If you ask someone their favorite place for pizza, there’s a 99% chance they’ll say Ciao Grazie (especially if they haven’t tried other spots in Buckeye). Understandably—the pizza at this delightful restaurant is outstanding. But the Caesar salads are too, and shouldn’t be overlooked. They’re crisp and flavorful, and topped with a classic dressing. You can choose between the Caesar, the Emiliana, or a specialty salad like the Insalata Veneziana—which is what you should do.
MOD Pizza
$ | (623) 278-8894 | WEBSITE
Ok, hear us out. MOD Pizza isn’t in some trendy downtown spot, it’s actually out in Buckeye. But if watching your pizza being made while enjoying a delicious pie sounds fun, you need to make a trip out here. MOD Pizza recently opened at their location, a family-friendly establishment. And the cooking process isn’t just what makes this place worth the visit—the pizza is great, too.
The crust has a wonderful crisp, and while the menu is fairly limited, the options are tasty and covered with fresh ingredients we really like. Make sure to get an order of the Caspian pizza (which has that cool post-bake sauce), and the beautiful salads with homemade dressings. They just have that consistent quality, and they cater to everyone, with options ranging from vegetarian to meat-lover favorites.
Peter Piper Pizza
$ | (623) 327-1908 | WEBSITE
Peter Piper Pizza has been a top choice for family-friendly dining in Buckeye, so it’s no surprise that this local spot delivers great pizza—period. Staples like cheese, pepperoni, and veggie pizzas are all hot and tasty, and perfectly complemented by fresh breadsticks or crisp salads. The arcade and atmosphere aren’t afterthoughts either. Every visit has main character energy, like the welcoming staff and fun celebrations.
The buffet rotates, but rather than being a downside, it’s a great excuse to make regular visits.
Domino’s Pizza
$ | (480) 934-0120 | WEBSITE
The sheer reliability of Domino’s Pizza deserves a moment of appreciation—probably because your hands will be full of hot pizza. One particularly perfect dish here is the white pizza—it’s cheesy and flavorful, with a creamy sauce and a ton of toppings. But we also love the Parmesan bites and the hand-tossed crust—and it’s essential that whatever you order gets paired with customization options like half pepperoni and sausage or Hawaiian.
The staff and manager are appreciated for their service, especially when they respond well to issues by remaking pizzas without charging extra. Despite some inconsistencies like occasional delays or lukewarm pizza, the restaurant continues to be a convenient option for quick, satisfying meals, especially for those using online ordering and coupons near the freeway at Indian School Rd and Jackrabbit intersection.
Pizza Hut
$ | (602) 834-7583 | WEBSITE
If you’ve heard the mixed buzz about Pizza Hut locations around Buckeye, then you’ll appreciate why the new Verrado spot stands out. Pizza Hut is a familiar chain pizza restaurant in the Verrado area, and its chef brings skills that evoke genuine nostalgia. Pizzas are prepared fresh and correctly, with a quality that complements the reliable online ordering system. Especially the delivery service handled by staff like Luis, who promptly addresses any issues.
An order arriving hot and complete tastes like the convenience you hope for when you just want pizza.
