In July of 2023, we tried to determine who had Wichita Falls’ best pizza, and came to the conclusion Stone Oven, Progress Pizza, and Half Pint Taproom’s pizza were some of the best to be found.
Last fall, we amended that list to include Chicago Pizza Kitchens’ saucy single serve pizzas from their Sikes Senter mall location, but since then, we’ve had an out-of-body pizza experience that it requires an update to this list.
A Chicago-style deep dish pie from Luigi’s Italian Pizzeria.
The deep dish pie from Luigi’s, 3600 Sheppard Access, is as close as you can get to an authentic Chicago-style pizza in Wichita Falls.
The most particular pizza aficionados might point out an actual Chicago-style pizza has two crusts, one on the bottom and one on top, like a pie, whereas the Luigi’s Chicago-style has only the bottom crust. Regardless, the Chicago-style from Luigi’s is out of this world.
When we first tasted our pizza, we were blown away. It was delicious, with a fresh baked bread-like crust, plenty of sauce, ground beef, and green olives.
And filling. Wow.
A single slice of this pie could make you tap out.
Luigi’s pizza immediately vaulted into our top echelon of pizza experiences in Wichita Falls.
Take note: If you order a Chicago-style for dine-in at Luigi’s, it is recommended you call and order your pie a half hour to an hour ahead of time, because they take time to prepare and bake.
Another contender showed itself to my pizza addiction this past winter as well, and like Luigi’s pizza, it comes from an authentic-feel Italian restaurant — Mia’s Italian Bistro. It has a delicious sauce, and mom-and-pop pizzeria appeal that can’t be denied.
Considering the additions of Luigi’s and Mia’s, we think Chicago Pizza Kitchen is now bumped from our top five places to get pizza in Wichita Falls.
Consider this your Spring 2024 update. We’ve sampled pizza from more than a dozen places. Progress Pizza, Half Pint, and Stone Oven, all rank high on the pizza scale in Wichita Falls, and Luigi’s Italian Pizzeria and Mia’s Italian Bistro are our newest additions, both high on the list.
