First off there’s no such thing as bad pizza.. however if I had to give the nod to who has the absolute best pizza in Havasu is El Padrino on the southside.. well done normal crust.

One bite everybody knows the rules..

They don’t deliver though so we usually end up with Ken’s.. however if I’m on the southside?

Giving it a solid 7.3. Which is a monster score for Havasu.. 🤪

Ramonos stuffed pizza is almost as good as Chicago Giordano's.

Yep. I agree with Dave. They don’t get the credit they deserve, but El Padrino is my favorite pizza here.

Ken’s Pizza - think it might even be a little bit better than before with the new owners.

I'm noticing around my house they are now calling 14-15" a Large. Better places like Mt. Mike's are starting them at around $20 with only cheese. Every topping is going to be another $2-3 .

Rosatis, thin crust when craving pizza, thick crust when craving pizza/lasagna and plenty of room in stomach
red baron for drinking hanging out specialty pizza’s- like pastrami pizza is surprisingly good, maybe it’s best to smoke a bowl first, lol
papa Leon’s is a perfect 1 bite everyone knows the rules pizza, it’s a game time, hanging on the water, party time pizza that hits the spot

I am a fan of Red Baron, but will give this a shot when I come into town next week.

Mud Shark is damn good too. Forgot about that one. It's more my style. Not a fan of big greasey slices. Their pizza is light and well balanced.

Yep another vote for El Padrino! The sandwiches and wings are pretty good too. The Spot is also at the top of my list.

There is absolutely such thing as a bad pizza!!

In Havasu my go to is Rosattis, red baron then papa leonis

Rosattis thin delivered to the channel at the end of the day before getting off the water. Red baron for sit down dinning with drinks and papa leonis usually only when we are meeting others there and that’s where they wanna go.

I'm a fan of PZA, El Padrino, Rosatti's and Red Baron. The big thing about most pizza in Havasu is, you need to see if you can get them to cook the pizza instead of just melting the cheese, even have to remind my favorites on occasion. :rolleyes:

Yes there is such thing as bad pizza, Domino's
Little Caesars also.

We like Red Baron and Papa Leone's for delivery. Have not tried el Padrino and will have to give it a try. Looks like a little too much crust for my taste, but appears to be cooked to perfection. 👍

Thanks for the suggestions guys, we'll try some of these when we come to Desert Storm. Mudshark and Rosattis are the only ones we've tried before, and we like them BTW.

El Padrinos is fantastic, try their antipasto salad!! Barley Bros has a great pizza but we ask to have the crust thin rolled and crispy. Sooo good! im not sure if they have pizza but we tried Marissa’s Italian Deli last week. The Torpedo Sandwich and salad was really good

Rosati's for win !!!!

Never had red baron, I had El Padrino one time ( 5 years ago) and thought is was tasteless and dry ....maybe an off day for me.

The best pizza in Parker is Domino's. Order off the app and check the specials. It's always been consistent. Sure it's not like our local places. But it's a 1/4 the price of big bend and much better.

Didn't realize how many options there is in Havasu. You guys got more choices than we do in the Southbay.

Dominos is good, and they will deliver to rivershore. we have also had pretty good luck with the pizza hut but they wont deliver to us, I usually walk in and order 5-6 pizzas and they always work it around so i get a deal. i usually hit them for a salad plate while im waiting to for the salad bar and they never flinch about just handing it to me.
