Foodie Favorites – Giorgio’s Pizza

The New York style pizza makes the food at Giorgio’s Pizza so unique, and the “Texas size pizza,” at 28 inches is the largest pizza in Lubbock. The restaurant uses a brick oven to bake the pizza and calzones after making all of the dough fresh from scratch every day. This has been the regular procedure for Giorgio’s Pizza employees for the last 25 years. The effort and style are definitely noticed, as the classics, pizza and calzones, are hard to beat. Perfect crust all the way through, with delicious cheeses and steaming meats.

Famous Georgio’s Calzones

The original owner, George Shadid, opened Giorgio’s Pizza 25 years ago with his family’s recipes from Italy. When George decided to retire, Daniel stepped in and bought the restaurant to continue the tradition of great food and customer service after working for George for five years. People will still see George from time to time when he comes in to enjoy the food and company of the customers.
