I have been to Capital Pizza in Tech Terrace many, many times through college, after graduation, and on many revisits to Lubbock, and I will proudly say it is the best pizza in Lubbock. I will start off by saying sometimes the wait is excruciatingly slow for dine-in, whether it is almost empty or packed. However, takeout is usually pretty on top of it. Capital wins out if you like your crust a little doughy. There is this intense softness to their pizza that it is almost like tasting a cloud. It is legit. Some personal favorites of mine are their Hot Honey pizza, but this last time I ordered a Classic Margherita, and I loved it. It is really like no other pizza place I have been to, and I always find enjoyment in their immensely doughy crusts. It used to be only order over the phone, but it is nice to order online using Slice now because you do not have to preplan and prepare for a phone call. You just pick your pizzas and order. It is great. I enjoy dining in as well. The place feels pretty small, but there is a big overflow room in the back on busy nights. They have a full bar, which is pretty cool for keeping the party going. You do have to pay a little more than at your typical pizzeria, but I think the tradeoff is worth it. Capital Pizza, you have my heart. RIYL: Dough for days. read more

Capital Pizza - Classic Margherita Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I have been having capital pizza since I was a student at Texas Tech and have continued to order it many times in my visits back since. Our favorite is the carnivore pizza + the breadsticks with sides of ranch (obviously). 9/10 I order my pizzas to go, but even then in the time from ordering to pick up the customer service is extremely friendly and attentive. Will continue returning here for years to come! read more

I've tried a few pizza spots in town and so far Capital Pizza is the winner in my book. I am a sucker for a good thick dough and Capital Pizza delivers on that. The service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly. The ambiance is chill. I definitely recommend if you like a thick crust pizza! read more

I ordered it pick up and It delivered............PB&J was swamped with deliciousness but the crust remained crispy. My new fav go-to! read more

2026, June 07. Other than the pizza was burnt, what wasn't burnt was good. (See attached photo) I could not believe that the kitchen staff allowed this burnt pizza out of the kitchen. Is this is the standard of quality that they feel is acceptable? Then to charge $20 for a one ingredient small pizza just adss insult to injury. I have been going to Capitol pizza since it open and I have noticed their quality of food preparation over the last 3 or four months has been in decline. I think I will go only to Atomic Pizza for the next 2-3 months and give them time to replace the kitchen staff. Good Luck. Check your pizza before you leave with it. read more

Capital Pizza - BURNT pizza in the box when I got home with it. - Pizza Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Pizza has a pretty solid pizza game. I think my favorite is the green chili pizza. They also do a nice lunch buffet option. The pizza always has generous portions of toppings, except maybe sometimes on the buffet. Prices are fair considering they make their dough and have generous toppings. read more

Super great place. Recommend. Surfer style pizza with fluffy dough pizza - they also have thin crust and gluten free. Great bar specials and happy hour pricing. Will definitely return. Good bar service. read more

I ordered cheesy sticks and a calzone with Canadian bacon, mushrooms, green pepper and black olives. It was delivered with two large containers of marinara for dipping. The cheesy sticks were very thin, but I like thin crust, and they packed a lot of flavor for an appetizer. The marinara dipping sauce was thick, but not chunky, and was great with the cheese sticks. Pretty good stuff. Then on to the main event - the calzone. Believe me when I tell you this calzone was completely flavorless. I'm not sure how they did it with so many ingredients on board, but it was like eating water. Seriously - ZERO FLAVOR!!! Hand to god, I dissected the calzone to see if it actually had ingredients (it did). I dipped it in the marinara and, well....it tasted like cardboard with marinara. This is the 3rd time I've given Capital Pizza a try. This will be the last time unless I'm dragged there by family. I've had various food items from them and 85% of them have been BLAH. The cheesy sticks were good, but not enough to score additional stars, especially when it's an appetizer. I know this is a great place to watch the game and get a beer, but their food should be better, based on what you have to pay. read more

Great, and I mean GREAT pizza. The pizza rolls were meh, but the pizza maker than made up for it!!! read more

Wonderful experience. The pizza was superb! Trent took fantastic care of us, helping us choose just the right pizza for us. I'm still dreaming about the Caesar salad. And despite our sitting outside with our dog, service was very attentive. The beer list is extensive. And everyone working there was super friendly. We pass through Lubbock often, on trips between Houston and Santa Fe, and Capital will be our dinner spot, every time! read more

This place was amazing. This has to be the best pizza we've ever had. My mom is celiac and doesn't get to eat pizza very often and when she does it's always mid but this was definitely the best gluten free pizza we have ever had. The staff were amazing. We had a really nice waitress serving our party of 26. I wish I could remember her name but she was amazing. My only thing is, you need one of these in Houston where I live! You would catch me there everyday. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. read more

Great place. Service & Ambience is great. Fabulous pizza. Very pricey , so can't go to often.

Best pizza I've had in years. Service was great. The crust had the perfect char. Excellent crunch but still soft. The margherita was perfection the cheese on it was glorious. 1000/10. read more

Great pizza and fast pleasant service. Cool pub feel. We will be back for sure when we are in town

I usually love capital, I'm a big fan of their crust. But lately they have been going down hill fast. Whether it's ignoring orders and not answering the phone, I have not been happy. Which sucks cause I love their pizza when it's good. read more

The pizza is very good but the service could use attention. The waiters are very inattentive, don't always remember things, and fail to check in on you forcing you to ask the host or hostess to help. read more

Love their pizza!! Atmosphere is very college town and super fun. Pizza is high end and delicious!! Love their pepperoni and hot honey pizza. It's a must see when visiting Lubbock or Texas Tech!! read more

Discount not applied: Went to capital because they had a $5 off of a $25 purchase discount through campus cash. After redeeming the discount, eating, and receiving the bill, my boyfriend and I thought the price of the check seemed a bit steep. 4 sides of ranch ($.50 each), and one capital carnivore pizza ($27.99) should total $26.99 with the coupon. The tab we received was $31.99. Our server Sarah, who had beautiful eyes might I add, forgot to discount the price, even though she confirmed she discounted the pizza. Food was mid, service was great, Sarah is very pretty, very upset with the principal. $5 is a relatively small amount of money, but the PRINCIPAL is most important to us. read more

Capital Pizza - Atmosphere was dope because of the dog - Pizza Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Food good. Service was kinda slow but worth it. Had a modern feel. Entertainment was good.

Came here tonight after the football game and the pizza was fantastic and Penelope was absolutely killing it behind the bar. Service and pizza were both on point , would highly recommend. We will definitely come back next time we are in town. read more

Capital Pizza - Hot honey pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Service with a smile and the best cauliflower pizza I've ever had. We started with this fun antipasto plate, with a side of Greek dressing. Presentation was so much fun, with leftovers to spare. The hubby and man-child shared a traditional pepperoni, not so traditional crust was folded and packed with cheese. I had the Jalapeño Popper pizza on cauliflower crust. Ridiculously good. Crispy crust, gooey toppings. Live music created a fun vibe. Can't wait to come back. read more

Decided to introduce my wife to Capital Pizza. I've been there a couple times for lunch, but this was the first time for dinner. The service was slow, but friendly. The antipasta plate was a delicious start. The calzone had an amazing crust - not too heavy, and not super thick at the edges. The cheesecake dessert was good (but still just frozen enough to tell me they don't cook it onsite). Overall, a nice, casual place to get a good italian meal, not just pizza. read more

From out of town looking for a decent good run establishment. I had a specific order that was not fulfilled in anyway. received cold chicken wings like they just were puller out of the fridge a cold under done pizza as I requested it to be crispy onto and bottom. was told an itial price of $34.00 dollars for a 16" pie and 6 piece wings. measured the pizza with a measuring tape. look at the pics they tell all you need to know!!! false advertising for a pie that doesn't add up to even Pizza Hut brand pizza and wings that where so cold and small that looked like some guy just climbed out of cold water. lets Not forget the extra credit card charge that was never mentioned until after purchase be careful out there new to the area read more

Pizza was dry because they forgot to give my Uber Eats guy my Pizza... I had to leave and go get the pizza myself that the nice employees had thought enough to keep it warm until I retrieved it for my uber eats guy... super krispy crust and the sauce had dried up some, kind of like a shriveled up pepperoni in a biscuit and of course by the time I got home the food that was delivered was cold ... so I took it upon myself to allow this Capital Pizza place to make this right for me 72. Bucks is a lot of money to me and I enjoyed 0 of it so dang right I called .... Dude says I'll refund the pizza and was proud we came to an agreement, hung up and I waited for my cashapp to get fixed when the notification came in and it said it had been up dated yes this place had refunded the pizza and as I opened the notification, to my surprise they had refunded me 1 cent so big shot out to capital pizza I stand and give you the finger throw you the bird, however you put you get my drift, signed off with this with the name capital I should have known being the little man I'd get screwed... justjess read more

Very mediocre, a slight step above cheap delivery but premium priced. We had thin crust and it was again, pretty standard fair from any other delivery options. Kinda a bummer.... Was hoping for more read more

Food is awesome but service and wait time is not acceptable. We have been here before and this happens every time. Will not be back.

Pizza rolls and calzones were amazing. Service and ticket times were ridiculously bad. Pizza rolls were one of the best I've had. A lot of cheese and tasty marinara. Caesar salad was great with a caesar vinaigrette. White pizza left more to be desired. It was Luke warm with little flavor. Server didn't even try, too busy cleaning her section. We had to ask 3 times for our table to be cleaned. No one was offered another drink from bar or drink refills. Mind you, we arrived at 9 pm so they weren't busy. Salad/appetizer took 20 minutes, entrees took 1 hour! Finally received food with one calzone missing. Everyone was finished eating and checks were closed, still never arrived 30 minutes later. She offered to bring it to-go and it never came so we left without it and she had no clue. The guy with no food had to share food with someone else. Wings appetizer arrived after pizza did. Had to ask for ranch multiple times, she gave us a container that was left on a dirty table! Food was great but the service and ticket times will make us reconsider returning. read more

I'm in town for work and found this highly rated pizza place. Sure, the carnivore pizza was good. Lots of meat, light sauce and excellent crust. I will definitely come back for some garlic parmesan wings! The wings were cooked to perfection! Juicy and full of flavor. If I could have, I would have returned the pizza and gotten 10 more wings! read more

Terrible pizza, poor service. Tonight I came in, and ordered a small cheese pizza with onion and tomato. What they served up was a truly goopy mess devoid of any quality, browning (of the cheese), or toppings. What ensued? A sea of goopy, tasteless, adhesive-like cheese dumped on a thick crust. When I politely asked the staff if they could give it more time to attempt to salvage it, mentioning that the cheese was tasteless, near raw, and adhesive like, they responded by saying that the oven was turned off before the pizza was out. They charged me for the whole thing but waived the price of the soda. When I asked for a refill of iced tea to go, you got it... they threw it away in anticipation of closing. One of the worst pizzas I've ever had at a dedicated pizza restaurant. My standard is Pizzeria Mozza in Hollywood, where Nancy Silverton creates culinary miracles. This was bad, really bad. Update: The manager responded that it is "disrespectful" for paying customers to frequent their store much before closing. We will seem this "the quote of the quarter." No wonder quality here is ailing, with leadership like that. Turning the oven off early, serving up raw pizza. Yeah, that's real responsible! read more

Been waiting for my pizza for 45 minutes and only 4 people in here. Manager is nowhere to be seen. Got home and opened the pizza and there was a massive hair on top. How disgusting. Manager needs a course refresher on customer service. read more

Walked in on a Saturday night and truly enjoyed our evening. Staff welcomed us in right away and we were able to sit where we liked. They offer happy hour all day on Saturdays and wine was 3.50 I believe. They also had 4 dollar chiltons. We ordered the big one pizza and we're astounded with the generous amount of toppings! It was very delicious. We also did try an order of their buffalo wings and although they were tasty, the only complaint was that there were some very small pieces served. The green salad was fresh tasting along with their balsamic dressing! Relaxing environment to hang out with friends and family. read more

When I moved to a college town, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect in the middle of West Texas. The neighborhoods are sometimes a dystopian nightmare and it's quite odd at times. However, Tech Terrace is a nice mix of residential with very few business and a couple of parks. Very family friendly and more typical of a nice neighborhood near a college without being directly and immediately a part of it. Capital Pizza exemplifies the neighborhood with its atmosphere, drink selection, and food. College kids and 9-to-5ers can all feel welcome at this place. Highly recommended. read more

Love their pizza! Create flavorful crust and generous toppings. Parking is rough though so I'd just do carryout.

So...the courts have said merchants can assess a service fee on credit cards. Merchants should disclose that they are going to do so before even ordering. Capital Pizza DOES NOT. I get the fees may feel onerous. This does not excuse the practice especially when the merchant fails to disclose this information. I visited CP on a December 2024 road trip. Will NEVER patronize them again. If a hometown merchant tells me in advance that such a fee will be charged, I might still begrudgingly use them (certainly less often). If the fee is not disclosed until I'm handed the bill, I DON'T patronize them--EVER. The error here is failure to disclose this BEFORE I decide to take a table. One parting thought: Let's hope all that cash actually ends up in the restaurant till and not in the sticky fingers of other patrons or even the wait staff. If restaurants and other merchants crying over credit card fees start complaining about theft, it will only be a bed of their own making. read more

The food took over one hour to prepare a pizza, salad, and appetizer. Very disappointed in Capital Pizza after so many people have raved about. read more

Good pizza. Take out was easy and tasty. Ate in another time and the venue was good. The pizza is very good and no complaints.

the jalapeño popper pizza was really good! service was good and efficient. the tea tasted a bit funky like it had some kind of syrup in it, the only way i can describe it is "watered down dr pepper" but that was my only complaint. it was a bit loud as well but hey it's a bar what do ya expect. read more

I have had pizza from nearly everywhere in Lubbock, and this place is my favorite. It costs a little bit more ($22 for a large pizza), but they have the best pizza I've ever had. What is it, you ask? The jalapeno popper pizza. Cream cheese base sauce, topped with goat cheese, cheddar, FRESH jalapenos (always better than pickled when cooking), and bacon. It's amazing. Even better, this place NAILS how to make a crust both crispy and chewy. Nails it. Every time... Check it out. read more
