Best Pizza Spots in Meridian, Idaho ๐
Meridian has no shortage of great pizza, whether youโre after classic, deep-dish, New York-style, or wood-fired perfection. Here are my go-to spots:
Proper Pizza
๐ Idaho Pizza Company โ The OG Favorite
This was the first place my family went when we moved to Meridian, and we were instantly hooked. So much I became their social media manager for 5 years! Their ranch is LEGENDARY (yes, I know the recipe, and no, you canโt have it). The lunch buffet is wildly popular, especially on Wednesdays (double punch day!). Their salad bar wins โBest of Boiseโ every year for a reason.
They have multiple locations, but the Meridian spot stays busyโorder early if you want delivery. Sometimes, Iโll go to the Eagle location just for the slower pace and patio views. Not gonna lieโI hit their buffet at least once a week. Itโs my secret to eating all my veggies. Click the link for my favorite toppings.
๐ Hidden Gem: Garbonzoโs on Ustick
Thick, fresh crust with plentiful toppings, but the real stars are the BREADSTICKS and MONKEY BREADโabsolute must-tries. They also have a small salad buffet, but Iโve never tried it since I always do takeout here.
๐ New York-Style: Johnny Bronx
If youโre craving NY-style pizza, Johnny Bronx is the place. And yes, they have a drive-thru. Get their specialty pizzaโwhatever it is, just trust me and try it.
๐ฅ Wood-Fired Pizza: Margherita Pizza & Blaze
While Blaze Pizza is locally owned and a solid option, my pick for authentic wood-fired pizza is Margherita Pizza on Franklin & Eagle. Family-owned, handcrafted, and delicious.
๐ธ For Something Different: Flying Pie
Flying Pie brings unexpected toppings and a funky, edgier atmosphere that you donโt usually find in Meridian.
๐ฅ Best for Large Groups: Mountain Mikeโs
The new Mountain Mikeโs on Linder is HUGE, making it a great spot for big gatherings.
๐ Crispy Pepperoni Perfection: Uncle Bobโs Pizza
Their crispy pepperoni pizza is so good, but the dining space is super open, so I usually opt for takeout instead of dining in.
