Everyone craves a great slice of pizza. And New Braunfels has plenty of spots slinging pies, so you’ve got more choices than ever. But if you want that perfect combination of crispy crust, tangy sauce, and gooey cheese—without settling for mediocre dough or bland toppings—you still have options. Here’s a list of the absolute best pizza joints to satisfy your craving in New Braunfels.
Above Ground Pizza
$ | (830) 310-0551 | WEBSITE
Above Ground Pizza in New Braunfels feels like a classic Texas pizza joint (meaning full of brick and warm lighting to welcome you for a satisfying meal). But there’s also a clean, well-decorated environment where the tables are spaced comfortably, and overall it feels very friendly. Plus they have their ‘All Day’ Lunch Special with a Caesar Side Salad and a 7-inch pepperoni pizza.
Because eating deliciously flavorful pizza with a wonderfully crunchy crust while enjoying the Sir William Creamy Garlic and Mushroom pizza with hot Italian sausage is classic Texas, too.

Don’t feel bad—when you’re picking up your take-and-bake order at Papa Murphy’s in New Braunfels, you can forget about the hassle.

Guadalupe Brewing Company & Pizza Kitchen
$ | (830) 241-2431 | WEBSITE
From the outside, Guadalupe Brewing Company & Pizza Kitchen looks like a tucked-away spot that can be a little confusing to navigate at first. But don’t be discouraged—this place is the restaurant equivalent of a hidden gem, thanks to a huge outdoor space. It’s lively and very welcoming, with a stage for live music and plenty of seating to help you forget you’re in a brewery.
Start out with a beer flight for an appetizer (our favorite is the honey ale or almond stout), then follow up with pizza, like the Detroit-style “Goat” with goat cheese, caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar, and prosciutto or one of the thin-crust options. Hang out here until you’ve tried all the rotating seasonal flavors.

Who knows, maybe you’ll become a regular, too.
