One Guy's is the first pizza you'll probably ever have as a student at Tech. Little by little as your world grows around the Hub you'll seek out other joints, but you'll always come back and visit this place. At least, that is what some of my friends and I have always done. One Guy's pizzeria is located right across campus and continues to feed hungry Tech students from freshman year to Graduate school. Their main star icons are of course their pizza and their Calzones. Personally, I like it as simple as it gets: one slice of cheese please! It's delicious and crispy. The slices aren't too fast on their own so you know they haven't been sitting under a lamp all day, and their pizza crust is delish. Just enough crunch to make you decide that you needed a second slice. Their Calzones for me are a seasonal favorite. Usually too big for a Fall semester ( and too hot too), but BEST during the winter months. With the hunger building up from walking all over campus, and with the cold Lubbock wind pushing against you- what you need is some italian comfort that can only be brought by their mouth watering Calzones. They are hot, soft/crunchy, and filled with meat and cheese. Could be shared, but why would you do that? The place can get pretty busy on major weekends and always has customers within their shop. -But hey! A busy place always guarantees something you'll like. So, If you're new to Lubbock, Campus, or Tech in general you should give this place a try. read more

A little too greasy my personal opinion... but I don't want to ruin it for other ppl! Most people do enjoy this place... I don't

Cool pizzeria with an authentic vibe near Texas Tech campus! A nice place with quality food to meet up with friends for lunch. The menu is diverse and there are some great vegetarian options! I've tried pizza and the veggie calzone, which are both worth trying. The calzones are absolutely filling and the garlic bread is perfect. The only negative thing I have to say is that the veggie calzone had lots of water-holding vegetables which made the calzone soggy and sticky to the point that I thought the dough was just raw. read more

By far the best pizza in Lubbock. Although it takes a little while for your food to come out, it's absolutely wonderful and worth every minute of the wait. The employees are soooooo nice and friendly and they're so eager to make sure you get everything you asked for. The pizza is awesome and so are the calzones. The house calzone is PACKED with sausage and pepperonis and cheese. I recommend calling in your order ahead of time to cut down your wait time!! Food always comes out super hot and tastes so fresh. Portion sizes are all huge and prices are super cheap. It sounds like I was paid to write this LOL but this is my 2nd time here this week I just can't get enough of it. My only complaint is if you get a side of marinara for your calzone, the sauce comes out cold! But honestly the calzones are so good you don't need marinara. read more

We are some mozzarella sticks and cheese pizza on a recent visit to Lubbock. Everything was great! The staff was very nice and pleasant. The pizza was so yummy! I would definitely visit again. Oh, and a plus for someone from San Antonio - they had Big Red on tap! read more

Actually fr fr the best calzone they weren't playing. The house calzone omg. Also their chocolate cake was absolutely amazing. I went there after walking forever across campus about to pass out and scarfed that chocolate cake down it was 1000/10. I go there frequently now for their calzone. read more

Rude staff. Mediocre food. The place was nearly empty at lunch on a Saturday and the staff seemed irritated to have customers. Impatient and rude. Will not be returning. read more

Best calzones and pizza you can find in Lubbock, and the staff and owner are always awesome

some of the best pizza I have ever had. Good service. Prices are high but not terrible

Really enjoyed this spot. Cheese sticks and meatballs were really good. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely the best calzone in the US. I travel the whole US and have tried to find a better one. It doesn't exist, trust me. Have been coming here for over 30 years and the quality remains the same. Dario is also the best !!!! Love him. Plus they have a picture of Rocky read more

LOVE LOVE this place! One Guy is a Lubbock staple and a favorite with Texas tech students. The pizza and calzones taste amazing, and the service is so friendly and customer centric' Love their fountain drink station with a lot of variety. There's a reason One Guy has existed and expanded for DECADES! read more

Best calzone you'll find anywhere. Great lunch specials and pricing. We go through Lubbock just so we can eat a calzone at One Guy's! read more

My favorite!! My mouth waters just thinking about it. The calzones are to die for. I've been going to this local college hang out for over 20 years. No other calzone compares. If you order pizza, it's a rookie mistake. Calzones all the way! Don't miss out on this treat right across from the university. It's the real deal! read more

Delicious! Been going there since the 20th Century!! Love love love their calzones! Took our Tech alumni friends, our kids and our grand baby there before the game. read more

This is my families favorite take out pizza joint. We typically pick up from the University location once a week. Love their side salad too (serves 2 easily) read more

I ordered the house special calzone (pepperoni, sausage, cheese, pizza sauce). It was terrific! I would definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

Awesome pizza! It's a must every time we visit Lubbock! Ordered the large supreme pizza and a few extra apps- everything was hot fresh and delicious. Love this place read more

Awesome pizza! Always hot and fresh. Usually doesn't take to long. Cashiers are pleasant

Food was sooooo good except for the olives in my salad. I requested none but there they were. Otherwise great food!

Former hole in the wall, recently renovated and expanded. Locally owned. Good pizza and good service. Has lunch specials. Big fan of the pepperoni pizza read more

Gas. Been going since I was a freshman. Like 6 bucks I think, for a fat calzone. Quick service, no bullshit, and it's big enough that it will most definitely fill you up. Just ask for the "house calzone". Pizza there is good too but that can wait for another day read more

Four years at Tech and this will be the place I miss most. I love the pizza, people, and restaurant. If you request no cheese on your calzone they'll ask if you're allergic so they can use sterile tools and non-contaminated equipment so you don't get sick. All calzones are fresh and wonderful. The pizza is my favorite thing though. I credit this restaurant for the reason pizza is my favorite food. Everyone is friendly. After long days at school I looked forward to walking across campus to eat my favorite meal. I feel sad just thinking about leaving it. Stop by some time. You won't regret it. read more

Complete DUMPSTER FIRE. Reluctantly went with a friend, and ordered a Supreme Calzone, with NO BELL PEPPERS--due to allergies. I also got a fountain drink since I knew I'd be waiting a decent amount of time. Friend just got a calzone, plus a slice of pizza. They told him that he'd get his food in two to three minutes, that took them about 15 minutes. Yikes. My order, on the other hand, took a whole 20 minutes, which by itself is fine. But the thing is, they managed to screw that up. Didn't even have to open up the calzone to see huge pieces of bell peppers in there. Ended up asking for a refund, which they gave me. Originally paid I believe $10.50, plus $1.50 or $2.50 tip. They gave me back around $8 to $8.50, I don't remember the exact numbers. Of course, I had to ask for a refund twice, since they don't deserve any sort of income in my case. Ended up being a complete waste of time. Of course, I will personally never eat here ever again. It'd still be fine if it ended there, but two of the workers and the owner started being sassy about it. One had the gall to say "We'll be fine even without you." Yes, I know, but that's still not a smart thing to say. Then he mentioned how popular they are on Yelp, and that they're a big hit. That, I don't know about. I've been to over 10 countries, and this single restaurant has been the single worst piece of garbage I've ever eaten at. I've had better service, better food, and no attitude for less than 10% of the price of the food here, in the streets of third world Asian countries. The funny part is, those probably weren't nearly as unhealthy as One Guy's food, either, especially when it comes to grease. Another thing that same guy said was something along the lines of "He's just trying to get something out of us." No, not really. I'm just a broke college student trying to get my money's worth. But even with me being a broke student, I've tipped deserving waitresses upwards of 80%, which is more than you can say about most students--but nope, "he's just trying to get something out of us." Of course, if they screw up, they get a cent or two at most; no wonder you guys make us pay/tip right after ordering, huh! One other time I've been to this cesspool, the waiter just dropped the plate on the table without saying anything. Very disgusting especially when you consider how greasy the food always is. So, if One Guy from Italy/One Guy Pizza is such a big hit, why are you guys practically unknown to anyone who has never stepped in Lubbock? The only reason you guys are able to stay afloat is with the support of Lubbock residents, and Texas Tech students. Your perceived sense of "fame" would not be able to take you guys any further, you're stuck in Lubbock for a reason. Terrible food, terrible staff (Except for the cashier! She was the only one who seemed to have any damn sense), and filthy, greasy "food." Every single time I've been here, the food has either been under-cooked (doughy), overcooked (extremely dry), or just straight up wrong. If anyone reading this wants to eat at an actual decent Italian restaurant in Texas, go to "Vero Italian Kitchen." They have locations in Spring and Conroe. They're very new (established 2010) compared to One Guy's 40+ year age, but the location(s), cleanliness, staff, and food are all much, much better. Hell, even here on Yelp, they already have more ratings, and are slightly higher rated than this. TL;DR... Trashy owner, sassy staff (except for the cashier!), and there's always been something wrong with the calzones out of the four or so times I've unfortunately eaten here. read more

As a former grad I have many good memories here. I've been back a few times since graduating and talked it up to my wife a lot. We just ate there and it's just as good as I remember. That cheese my god. My wife, who's a semi foodie, said that was the best pizza and calzone she's had, and I of course, was extremely satisfied that what I remember wasn't based off of a small sample or good ole day syndrome! read more

Do not order if you depend on Door Dash. My order was delivered to who knows where and One Guy was like oh well, not our problem. Still fighting charges. Now I do not care if their pizza is good or not. Here to care for my elderly parents with covid so last thing I needed. Finally got the pizza and it tasted like dough. It was awful. read more

Came on a campus visit & decided to eat somewhere close to campus. Wow did I make the right decision. You view the menu when walking in and approach counter to place order. If deciding to get an entree it could probably feed two people. Ordered wings that where fried to perfection. The spaghetti & meatballs were spot on. Calzone was definitely a must if eating here. Believe it or not the crinkle cut fries that comes with the sandwiches are freaking awesome. All in all if just visiting or if having a late night study session this place is perfect for large family or friends gatherings. read more

It has good pizza and is fairly consistent. The location is great, however a few times eating here I've had bad experiences with the service and mediocre food. read more

Always a favorite when we go to Lubbock. The house calzone is highly recommended. They take care of their customers. The most recent trip we ordered 3 House Calzones which were a really nice portion when served. However, we received additional calzones because the first ones were not the normal large portion according to our server. This was fantastic, because they heat up really well. read more

I love this place so much. they do take a while to get your order out, but the staff is so nice and the pizza is so good!

One Guy from Italy on 50th St. is our place to go to in Lubbock for Calzones, they are really amazing! The place is a little run down, and usually loud on Friday and Saturday nights because they are busy and do a lot of to go service which adds to the chaos. So if your looking for good Calzones this is the place! read more

Not your typical New York style pizza if that's what you're looking for but, by far the best place in Lubbock to grab pizza. Their calzones are great as well. read more

Hands down my favorite Italian resturant in lubbock. The chicken parm sandwhich is KILLER and the minestrone soup is fantastic and everything is very reasonably priced. We always take our out of town visitors here!! read more

Ordered three pizzas for our group. Crusts on two of them were almost raw. Overall, they were poor in the quality of the sauce and cheese. No pick-up line so that your food waits until a bunch of folks order their pizza before you can get your. It says delivery, nope, you have to go get the pizza. Smoky room. I will buy a frozen pizza next time, it's better. read more

Yummy yummy, cheese was very stretchy and delicious, pizza was a little greasy but honestly it was some of the best dang pizza I've ever had. My friends loved it too, I got to keep the leftovers... IMMACULATE! New fav pizza joint:) read more

Omg this place is amazing! I don't know why I didn't come in sooner. Their calzones are amazing! I would definitely recommend coming here for a bite to eat. read more

Recently flew into Lubbock, Tx for the Metallica concert and had heard so many great reviews and recommendations from the locals that we HAD TOO check this place out. I am so glad we did! I've had pizza from New York, Chicago, but this establishment has been by far the best! Large portions, piping hot meals, pizza, and the best part: the owner who started it all is literally making pizza's as he greets everyone with a warm welcome into his restaurant! Location is everything. Right in front of the university. Do not leave Lubbock without setting foot in this place. You will not regret it! read more

I was trying to find a quick , good place to eat near the hospital that would not be costly. I found One Guy on yelp and I'm glad I gave it a try. I'm back in town on business again and guess where I headed for lunch! You can't beat their pizza or calzones. All I can say is that I'm super satisfied! Give it a try. read more
