    Vegan meatball sub, fries and blood orange cider
    Angie K.

    I had heard good things about the pizza, but then noticed that there were a variety of vegan items on the menu so I had to try those. I will be back and try the pizza next time this is a great place to stop in after a hike on the east side of the Sandias! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so whether and bug-depending, you can enjoy more outdoors! The place isn't huge, so I could imagine it might get crowded at various times of day, but it was pretty quiet at 7pm on a Saturday and I was a bit surprised. Anyway, the wait staff was all very friendly and our food came out quickly. They also have Tractor blood orange cider on tap, or at least did the evening we were there. I had the vegan meatball sub which came with fries. Since I'm not vegan, I did swap in the dairy-based cheese. The sandwich was delightful and huge. It was definitely two meals, especially with the fries which were done just right. Give this place a try, go for the pizza, go for the vegan options, but regardless just go check it out!

    Another great lunch at TrailRider. Smoked pastrami Reuben with salad was great and buffalo chicken always tasty. Service was spot on. Must visit.

    Fried Green Chile Strips

    Had an amazing waitress, Kayden (I hope I spelled that right). Food was delicious, it deserves a return visit to try other things on the menu.

    Front signage.  It's a little hard to see on your fist visit.  But my GPS got me right there

    My first visit to this establishment. In the time I have lived in Albuquerque (little over 3 years) I have not done much up Tijeras and Cedar Crest Way. They featured Irish music tonight, so I ventured up and was pleased by 1. The scenic location 2. The food 3. The music. Staff greeted me warmly as I entered and were attentive during my time there. The decor is casual and comfortable. Although listed as pizza restaurant, the menu includes many other items as well. The beer and wine list looks good; I stuck with soda on this trip. I went with the vegan meatball sub. It included vegan cheese and came with side of fries. I do a lot of vegan cooking at home; ended up being very impressed with the vegan meatballs. Nice texture, good herbs and spices. Prices are on the low side! The music was very pleasant and importantly to me, was done at a subdued volume. I'll be back!

    Green chile appetizer with house made Extra Green Chile Ranch, tractor blood oranger cider, and agua frieo Pilsner
    Rebecca W.

    Love everything! The atmosphere is super friendly and chill; I love the signed pizza boxes by some of my favorite bands! The fried green chile appetizer was great, really enjoyed the house made dressings, and the salad was fresh. My husband loved his Reuben sandwich, he made sure to tell the chef it was excellent .

    Cold New Years Day, long motorcycle ride need food and pickings are slim - most places are closed. But these guys are open and warm inside. Not too busy - go figure. Ordering was straight forward. A sole employee brought menus, got our drinks and took our order. 12" Supreme Pizza and Meat Ball Sandwich with Fries. The pizza came out hot, loaded with toppings. The crust was crisp, not soggy. Especially considering some of the toppings. The Sandwich was excellent, great flavor and plenty of cheese and sauce. Fries were great and tasty from unpeeled potatoes. Plenty of food so we left both sated and warmed up for the rest of our trip. We passed on the tie-dyed shirts & dessert. But we'll be back.

    We live in Tijeras so when family is town we like to take them here. We always get the garlic knots they are so fluffy and seasoned well. Their pizzas are unique and no matter what we get its always good! The crust is my favorite too. The service is great, they are always kind and friendly. When we order over the phone they are so fast! Sometimes they have music or live bands play, we have never been for that but once we went after the show was over because we didn't know they were playing and it was packed! A fun evening it seemed. Definitely recommend trail rider pizza if you need to get away from Abq or if you're driving through!

    See all

    The food is phenomenal. Truly. I swear eating the fried green chili was a religious experience.

    Been here a couple times. Pizza is really good! Lots of options. They've expanded recently and have much more seating now.

    I came to Pizza Barn in Edgewood for "a quick slice." I left…read morein a food coma questioning all my past pizza choices. This pizza is THICK. CHEESY. LOADED. The crust has that perfect crunch-but-soft situation like it went to culinary school. The sauce actually tastes like tomatoes (wild concept). And they do NOT play games with toppings -- they pile them on like they love you. Staff is friendlier than a small town parade. Orders come out fast, hot, and correct (which in 2026 is basically a miracle). If you don't like Pizza Barn, I don't trust you. This is Edgewood royalty. Five stars. Would risk lactose intolerance again.

Although…read moreour arrival for dinner was quite early in the day, there was a long line to order your food. There was a bit of a wait to get to order however, with 4 servers taking orders we got it done in no time. Then we were able to go find a table and sit and wait for our dinner to be brought out. We each had a beer to drink and beer came out right away. This restaurant is lively and quite loud volume. You definitely have to talk louder so that you can all have a conversation. Soon after buffalo wings and fried pickles arrived. We were definitely enjoying our food. While waiting for the pizzas to arrive we were able to watch the football games from several large tv screens. 10 minutes later our pizzas came out. The pepperoni and green chile and 2nd pizza jalapeno ground beef and fresh sliced tomatoes were tasty. Everything came out delicious. Our visit to the Pizza Barn was great fun and tasty.

My friends invited me out and sat outside to enjoy the weather. When I arrived, they had already ordered their beers and food. I believe they ordered the Caprese, a burger with fries, 2 pizzas: the Margarita and Forti. The food, while cold, tasted fantastic. I loved the oven brick crust of the pizzas, and the fries were still crispy. The salad, dressing and basil on the Caprese was satisfying. I ordered a canned Sprite and Non Acoholic Mojito and enjoyed those as well. It was a good time. We watched our kids enjoy the live music and play corn hole. Side note: It's a bit dusty and parking is abundant. They also have indoor seating next to billiards and shuffle board. You can order drinks and food there at the window and inside. Service is on point. They came looking for me after I had ordered. They also use numbers for tables. But bc I ordered a drink, they called out for me. Tip: wear good closed toe shoes. They have a hiking trail nearby and are in construction of a playground too.
