Wagon Wheel Pizza

I literally pass this place a few times a week and I have never stopped, on my way to the Galleria me and my wife decided to pop in and have a slice. Now pizza being one of our favorite quick eats we have literally been to every pizza place and every pizza place has been the same. Not Wagon Wheel, this place has the absolute best pizza I’ve had. The décor wasn’t fancy, very simple with some definite history. Wood walls real wood rough cut tables no tacky pictures no flash just down right comfort. The owner was awesome. Great convo while we waited for our slices. My wife had a meatball slice and it was real meatballs not just some ground beef or those fake little frozen meatballs. They were homemade and sliced fresh. Now she I saw the sign that there we’re no credit cards accepted I thought damn a little inconvienent… not at all. The prices are so low who needs plastic, 2 slices with 2 toppings each and a pepsi came out to 6 $. Anyway in short this is my new go to pizza joint, definitely two thumbs up

While there is hardly a dearth of pizza places in the area, one would be hard-​pressed to find a place that offers a better value than Wagon Wheel. This is a no-​frills kind of place – a modest restaurant interior, no delivery, not a «gourmet-​style» pizza with fancy schmancy toppings in sight – that offers good, traditional pies at very reasonable prices. (i.e. When was the last time you paid $ 9.49 for a large cheese pie?) The whole operation is run by one guy: the owner.
I have been here three times and each time, while I was waiting for my pizza, there were regular customers dining in and taking out (always a good sign!). Either the owner has a lot of best friends or a lot of satisfied repeat customers.
Pro Tip: Cash only.

The pizza is good. Made fresh to order by the owner as soon as we walked in. I’ve had better pizza before, but this is good. What was so enjoyable about my visit was that the owner was a great guy. We had a great conversation with him but he wasn’t intrusive. His father opened up the place in 1969 and he’s worked here the whole time. $ 6.50 for a pitcher of cold beer? If I lived around here I get a pie, have a few too many and watch the hockey game with the owner. He has «real» chicken parm on the menu. «Real» chicken parm, the owner explained, our the chicken breasts he turns into cutlets himself, not the fake frozen patties so many pizza joints pass off as chicken parm for their heros. I’ll try that next time. Reasonably priced, old school wood tables and décor.

For the pizza places in the area, this offers the best bang for your buck and the best pizza you can find (avoid Eddie’s!!!). I also like the oldtime feel when you walk in as well as the owner… definitely a great place and I hope to come back to get a whole pie next time! Thanks for being open after Hurricane Irene :)
