We love the food here but recently had such a bad experience with a delivery order that we will not be returning. Our delivery arrived missing items and with the wrong toppings on our pizza. We tried several times to call right away, finally someone answered at 8:30pm saying "we're closed". Not surprisingly, they were not helpful after we explained the situation either. They blamed the delivery driver (for making our order wrong?) and refused to offer any sort of resolution and told us to contact the delivery service we went through. We did and were only given a $4 refund on a $50 order. I can't take a risk spending that much on our food and not knowing if we will get the right items. If this was handled appropriately, I wouldn't be writing this review and would happily still be a customer! Good food but not worth my money and the headache of trying to resolve their poor service.

Pizza Castle is great! The pizza has a chewy crust ( and you can get the crust you prefer), tasty sauce and whichever toppings you choose. My favorite is cheese with sundried tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, and artichoke. They also serve salads, sandwiches, pasta plates, and desserts. It's all delicious.
Vegetarian options: You choose your own toppings.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crust.

The wings are spectacular. I particularly like the Calzone, and the cheese pizza is amazing. My only criticism is that of the garlic knots. In my opinion, they are too hard, and not soft enough. Their ranch is so fantastic though. I can't get enough of it!
Brooklyn style pizza. Thin and crusty, huge slices. Excellent wings too. A while back prior to moving from across the street, they had an amazing set of staff on and off four about 7 years. After the move it was awful, but I would go back for my pizza. Currently a good set of staff again. Parking is tough, but worth the pizza.
Kid-friendliness: It's a kid friendly place with no issues.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.

Top 3 Pizza spot in Albuquerque. Staff is always nice and accommodating, cheese is great quality, toppings are great too. Only critique is that I wish the dough was a little crispier. I've never asked for them to cook it longer to achieve that, but I don't doubt they would. Still 5/5

The food is awesome! Spendy, but better price than many of the other pizza places. Salads are crisp and fresh. They load the pizza with toppings. The food is great? The location is rough getting in. Does have a drive thru, and can be tricky to get in with a truck as well for parking. Again, the food is awesome!!!

As a long-time Albuquerque resident, I'm amazed I hadn't discovered Pizza Castle sooner. After trying it for the first time recently, we've already been back three more times - it's that good! Pizza Castle is conveniently located on Eubank Blvd, making it easily accessible from most parts of the city. But be aware that the building is easy to miss if you aren't looking for it.
The crust was cooked to perfection - crispy yet chewy, with just the right amount of char. They have unique and high-quality options that set them apart from other pizzerias. We tried sliced meatballs and salami, something that I wouldn't have considered to put on a pizza, it's a delicious surprise that's now my go-to order.
While pizza is their specialty, don't miss out on their garlic knots - they're amazing! The Caesar salad is also a great starter if you're looking for something lighter. It's surprisingly affordable for the quality. Personal pizzas start at $8, while a large specialty pizza will run you about $20-$25. It's great value considering the generous toppings and top-notch ingredients.
The restaurant has a cozy, family-friendly vibe with a mix of booth and table seating. I've tried most pizza places in Albuquerque, and while we have some good options, Pizza Castle stands out. The crust is better than Dion's, and the topping combinations are more unique than Slice Parlor or Farina.
If you're a pizza lover in Albuquerque, don't make the same mistake I did by not knowing about Pizza Castle. It's a must-try that might just become your new favorite! Whether you're looking for a casual family dinner or a quick slice for lunch, Pizza Castle delivers on all fronts.
I saw on utube that it was ranked #1 by these 5 people going around taste testing they must of either been family or work there the pizza had no taste

The pizza has changed in the last few months. The crust has gotten so thin that I can't pick up a slice without all the toppings falling off. They used to have a nice uniform crust but for the last few months it has been way too thin. Tonight the crust on our delivered pizza was so thin and soggy I could not successfully revive it with my Air Fryer. The crust was barely an eighth of an inch thick.
