Cute little pizza shop near the plaza. Great gluten free crust!

I came here because I had been able to eat here safely with my gluten free diet in the past. This time around however, the server gave me alot of attitude about my diet and said that "gluten is basically floating in the air" I got sick from my "naturally gluten free" menu item. Server came carrying my plate along with gluten containing plates in the same hand. My diet isn't by choice, I have celiac disease and I got very sick from eating here. Unfortunately, I will never be willing to eat here again which is a shame because it's delicious.

Wow! I have had pizza from countless pizza joints in the past 22 years over my travels. Vegas, Nashville, South Beach Miami, Orlando and now Santa Fe, NM. The options in Santa Fe for pizza are plentiful and I have had 5 of them, although I won’t name them. The one I will name is Backroad Pizza! A little off the beaten path of downtown, it is well worth the small drive from anywhere in Santa Fe. It has been located @ 1807 2nd St #1, Santa Fe, NM for the entirety of its existence (parking in the rear). From the outside it just looked like a normal building that could have been anything, but step inside and enjoy the quirkiness of the layout and color scheme. The smell hits immediately! For such a small establishment, it was loaded with employees churning out pizzas in the middle of the afternoon and that told me something. I was greeted at the counter with a smile and a chalk board covered in menu items. From fresh salads to garlic knots and then all of the pizza options. There was a nice selection of locally brewed beer on tap. Margherita pizza, you got it. Green chile pizza, sold. Pizza of the moment with unique ingredients, of course. Pizzas made especially for the kids, gotta have it! Customize to your hearts desire, why not? I had the opportunity to speak with the owner, Piper Kapin, who could not have been more friendly. She informed me of her custom corn meal crusted thin crust pizza dough (her personal recipe), how all ingredients were fresh daily and sauce and salad dressings were all made in house. I was sold. She told me a little history and explained her passion for the industry, and showed me around. The property was a little bigger than I thought. There is an extra seating area on the second floor with a small balcony and what a large excellent patio for outdoor seating! (Which is dog friendly!)She (Piper) is very humble and did not even mention that she had been FEATURED on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive Ins and Dives on Food Network….. not once, but twice! I noticed it as I was looking over her website. By this point my mouth was watering watching everyone else’s pizzas go out. I got seated with a number on a small stand and a local cold beer off tap. There was a nice buzz from the locals enjoying their meals and chatting it up. I had ordered a small half new mexican with green chile and half pesto, fresh mozzarella, pepperoni. It only took about 10 minutes despite how busy it was. First thing I noticed - THE CRISPY CORNMEAL CRUSTED DOUGH. Extra thin, great texture, super crispy, foldable without toppings falling off, it looked and smelled delicious. Upon taking my first bite of the New Mexican pizza, I understood the hype. (Where is Dave Portnoy when you need him?) In my mind this just became my go-to pizza hub. So fresh, not bready at all and the toppings and crust shined and meshed perfectly. In the 10-20 minutes I had been seated, every chair in the shop filled up; so much so that I offered my table to an older couple so they didn’t have to stand and wait…and people continued to roll in. I gathered what I had left and boxed it up to go and thanked everyone on the way out. All in all the flavor and delivery is spot on, the staff is all smiles, the atmosphere is fun and it hit on all the high notes. I definitely recommend Backroad Pizza and will continue to provide my patronage! Oh, did I mention there is a gluten free dough option? Annnnd….This place has been voted #1 favorite pizza spot every year since 2012 except for 1 maybe 2 years. Just won 2024! You just need to go see for yourself!

This place was a nice surprise, nice menu, great patio seating. The food tasted delicious! They even had some good options for gluten free. We weren't sure driving into the parking lot, but we gave it a shot, and glad we did!

I loved the pizza that we got from here! I can't do milk or gluten and was so happy I was able to order both gluten free and no cheese. There was an incredible amount of toppings and the service was great. I highly recommend this spot.

Gluten free crust and regular crust were both delicious! Toppings were on point and they got the cheese nice and bubbly. Glad we stopped here instead of downtown Santa Fe!

Stopped in while traveling back home from vacation. We always need to get gluten/dairy free for our son so it's limited on where we can eat as a family. Best pizza we've had in a long time, wish we had one closer to our home. Loved the crust!

Very Good thin Crust..also Gluten Free

Jeff Stovall

Gluten free crust is terrible, the worst I’ve ever had at a restaurant. For the price I expected something much better. They also cross contaminated or gluten free pizza with regular crust. The salad was excellent.

Prior to going into Papa Murphys on St. Francis and Zia to order a pizza I had just locked my phone, keys and purse in the car. I needed to borrow a phone so I went into Papa Murphys, ordered a dairy free gluten free pizza (forcthe first time). Denah took my order and asked how my day was going so I told her what had just happened. She offered the landline phone due to her personal phone being at 5%. I got ahold of my BF who would be on his way, but was 35 minutes out. I was trying to get balloons and cupcakes to my daughter at school, it was her birthday. I wanted to get home quicker than my BF could arrive. Denah came outside and asked if there was any other way she could help, willing to crawl through my trunk to unlock my doors, what a peach! But that wasn't going to work. She had charged her phone a bit so it was now at 9%, she downloaded the Ford app to her phone and I was able to sign in and unlock my doors from her phone. What a day, and she saved me!! On top of suggesting the best pizza for my allergic-to-dairy boyfriend! 😉 Pizza was awesome! We will be back again and again! Thank you Denah Valdez for going above and beyond for a pizza eater in distress! You rock!!

Today was our first time trying Brunos, and it was delicious! The toppings are fresh, the red sauce is full of flavor, and the gluten-free crust is scrumptious. We will definitely return, and I highly recommend it.

Their pizza is the business! I went with a classic pepperoni, and my wife had the Rustica on their gluten-free vegan crust (rice flour based). They also have a cauliflower crust that does have egg. It's probably the best gluten-free crust I've tried. We couldn't believe how fast we got our pizzas, and they were piping hot straight from the wood-fired oven.

The cauliflower crust pizza in a great alternative for those who need a Gluten-free option. Beyond that, the mission of employing the disabled population in our community is a story worth supporting.
