Next to the San Miguel Mission Church, the oldest church in the United States, and very close to the Santa Fe Plaza, you won't be able to miss Upper Crust Pizza. The elevated outdoor seating area is frequently busy in nice weather, and although we only ate there once, it was a memorable experience.
Upper Crust has won a few awards for best pizza in Santa Fe and top 100 independent pizzeria in the U.S. I hadn't heard about Upper Crust before going to Santa Fe, but many people were stopping in whenever we were near the area, so we decided to go in for lunch and that was one of our best tasting and most affordable meals.
All pizzas come in small or large. Since we had started to build up a little bit of a tolerance, we decided to try a pizza with green chiles on it. With four of us, we selected a large combo.
- Combo pizza - Pepperoni, black olives, green chiles, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions top the pizza. The crust is slightly crispy on the edges and soft on the inside of the thick crust. The toppings are a perfect combination and the green chiles add a bit of a kick without making the pizza difficult to eat. I would order this again in a heartbeat. Excellent! $20.25 (price shown is for 2011)
The place is very casual. We ordered at the counter, got our number, and then enjoyed a delicious pie. I would definitely make a return trip if I am ever in the area. Yum! That's all there is to say.
