Hi there Hoosiers!
I just moved to the downtown Valparaiso area and I’m looking for pizza spots to try that are nearby. Doesn’t have to be in Valpo.
Please send over some recommendations!!
Thank you!

Some people take their pizza a little too seriously sometimes so you might as well ask what political party they prefer.
Some joking aside I like Beggars, Gelsosomos, Tomato Bar, Jet’s all for different reasons but I’ll eat Little Cesars, or grab slices from Costco or Casey’s because they’re great too for convenience and cost.

Greek’s on the Square is something of an institution and the pizza is actually pretty good.

Pizza Terra is wood-fired, small sized pizzas. probably a top five pizza of all time for me.

Rolling Stone Baker is delicious as is Tomato Bar. For super traditional, I like Shoe's

The best pizza in this region is Miller Pizza, hands down. It would be a bit of a drive from Valpo, but it’s the best. People will say JJs in here and respectfully, no.

J and J's is always a good choice. Rolling Stonebaker is excellent and unique. Flamingo's in Miller Beach is excellent. I've heard good things about Greek's. A lot of people love Aurelio's, but it isn't my favorite. Verona Pizza on 30 is good. Gelsosomo's in Portage is a local fave. Lots of great pizza joints around here.

It's a bit of a drive, but Edwardo's in munster has some of the best deep dish pizza in the world.

Batista's in Crown Point is unmatched. Go on Wednesday and do their 2 for $20 deal, otherwise it's $20 a pie. But very worth it.

J&J's, Raydee Magoo's, and Aurelio's are my favorite delivery pizza places. For a sit down experience, Tomato Bar is probably my favorite place.

Tomato bar is great. If you're in the mood for a smaller, thin crust pizza then Rolling Stonebaker is really good!
For what it's worth, I do find JJ's to be terribly overhyped, but ymmv.
