Johnny’s Pizza on Golf Course in Albuquerque<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“He’s been helping make pizza since he was three<\/em>.”\u00a0 Johnathan Khalil’s mom beamed as she confirmed she’s not the “Johnny” for which Albuquerque’s newest New York style pizzeria is named.\u00a0 Johnny is her soon-to-turn-18-year-old son.\u00a0 Can you imagine how cool it would be to be a teenager with a pizza parlor named for him?\u00a0 Johnny must very popular.\u00a0 The pizzeria named for him certainly is.\u00a0 On the day of our inaugural visit–two weeks and one day–after its 29 May 2026 launch, the line was literally out the door.\u00a0 Johnny’s is scantly 1,200 square-feet so accommodating throngs of diners will be a challenge.\u00a0 Five two-top tables set against the walls are all the seating currently available though there is a slightly shaded (at times) patio which the Khalil family plans to expand and provide misters for.<\/p>\n

The Counter Where You Place Your Order<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two things were in evidence when we visited.\u00a0 First, those of us who live in Rio Rancho or Albuquerque’s burgeoning northwest quadrant are jonesing for more great pizza options.\u00a0 Much as we love Thicc Pizza Co<\/strong><\/a>., Davido’s,<\/strong><\/a> Dion’s, <\/strong><\/a>Aldo’s NY Pizzeria<\/strong><\/a> and the Turtle Mountain Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a>, we like variety and crave more options.\u00a0 Coincidentally, Johnny’s launch day was just about a month after Richie B’s<\/strong><\/a> relocated to the City of Vision, giving west-siders yet another alternative.\u00a0 By the way, as of September, 2025 there were 64 pizzeria’s across the fruited plain named Johnny’s Pizza though they’re not affiliated with the Albuquerque location.<\/p>\n

Second, the instant hit popularity of Johnny’s Pizza is a testament to the power of social media.\u00a0 How else can you explain the high volume of traffic to diminutive digs whose storefront isn’t visible from any main thoroughfare?\u00a0 Johnny’s is ensconced in the northeast corner of the Golf Course Marketplace at the corner of Golf Course Road, N.W. and McMahon Boulevard. Aside from the Marketplace’s anchor tenant, Smith’s Grocery Store, Johnny’s neighbors include Wings & Things, Perico’s, Rose Garden and Subway.\u00a0 Though there was a December, 2025 article on the Albuquerque Journal announcing Johnny’s upcoming “early next year<\/em>” launch, the article preceded the actual launch by six months.\u00a0 A phalanx of Facebook posts within hours of Johnny’s opening probably had more impact on traffic than even the Journal.<\/p>\n

Mesa, Arizona’s Best Gelato Now Available in Albuquerque<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Though Johnny’s may be new to the Albuquerque area, the Khalil family has been baking pies for metropolitan area diners for more than a decade.\u00a0 The family owned- and-operated Goodfellas Pizza<\/strong><\/a> in Albuquerque and Los Lunas, selling both in 2023 to focus on spending time together as a family.\u00a0 That wasn’t the family’s inaugural foray into the competitive pizza wars.\u00a0 Family patriarch Frank Khalil and his brothers owned a number of pizza shops in New York before selling them all and moving to the Land of Enchantment almost twenty years ago.\u00a0 One of Frank’s brothers blazed the path in 2006, launching Sahara Middle Eastern Eatery <\/strong><\/a>in the University area.<\/p>\n

As with so many pizza purveyors in Albuquerque, Johnny’s is a claimant to New York style pizza.\u00a0 It certainly has the pedigree to back up those claims.\u00a0 New York style pizza (at least within New York City) is large, wide-diameter pie characterized by its thin, hand-tossed crust that is crispy on the edges but soft and pliable enough to fold in half.\u00a0 \u00a0Buffalo has a pizza style all its own as likely do other areas in the Empire State.\u00a0 Another “New York style” offering is the availability of gelato.\u00a0 In recent years, gelato has become a very popular, high-end dessert pairing in New York City pizzerias–supplementing but not supplanting traditional offerings such as cannoli. Johnny’s offers both gelato and cannoli.<\/p>\n

Johnny’s Way – Four Pizzas in One<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Johnny’s menu belies the shop’s Lilliputian lair, offering a selection of handcrafted pizzas, wings, subs, salads, gelato, and more.\u00a0 Each pizza is “handcrafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients and bold, classic flavors<\/em>.”\u00a0 Pizza is available in ten- and sixteen-inch sizes.\u00a0 The ten-inch pie is surprisingly larger than most “personal” pizzas, big enough even for me.\u00a0 There are nine specialty pizzas on the menu as well as a “half specialty\/half make your own” and a “half\/half specialty” pie.\u00a0 \u00a0The menu includes such unique (for New Mexico) offering as a hot Buffalo chicken pie.\u00a0 Green chile, of course, is available on any pie as is hot honey, once a novelty and now de rigueur in most pizzerias.<\/p>\n

Stromolis are also featured fare. Unlike the more ubiqutous calzone (a folded, single-serving pocket with ricotta cheese and no sauce inside) a stromboli is a long, rolled log sliced for sharing, packed with mozzarella and no ricotta. There are six specialty strombolis on the menu.\u00a0 Although a lot of pizzerias offer garlic knots, Johnny’s one-ups (make that six-ups) them all with six different garlic knots on the menu.\u00a0 Picture hot honey garlic knots or green chile garlic knots.\u00a0 I’m don’t usually advocate getting a bread-based appetizer when having pizza, but these may make me a believer.\u00a0 And if the garlic knots don’t, maybe the cheese bread will!\u00a0 \u00a0Wings are available in six or twelve count.\u00a0 Three salads and three subs make up the remainder of the savory menu while dessert options include gelato, tiramisu and cannoli.<\/p>\n

Cheese Stromboli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If (like me) you have a hard time making up your mind which pizza to have when every pizza on the menu sounds tempting, Johnny’s has your hook-up.\u00a0 It’s called the Johnny’s Way<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Essentially four pizzas in one, this prodigious pie includes two slices each of sausage, pepperoni with hot honey, Buffalo hot chicken and cheese.\u00a0 Where to start?\u00a0 Seeing the “cup and char” pepperoni made my decision easier.\u00a0 It’s my favorite type of pepperoni on a pizza.\u00a0 Hot honey provided a sweet counterbalance that just made the pepperoni’s salty flavor pop.\u00a0 My other favorite were the two slices of sausage pizza.\u00a0 The juicy, coarsely ground pork sausage has a bit of a kick (that’s a very good thing).\u00a0 Aromatic seasonings made that sausage stand out.\u00a0 The Buffalo hot chicken didn’t have the requisite heat its name might suggest though I wouldn’t ever kick it off my table.<\/p>\n

My Kim who is becoming as staid a diner as her husband is adventuurous ordered a cheese stromboli<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Cheese!\u00a0 That’s it!\u00a0 Nothing else!\u00a0 Aargh!\u00a0 She didn’t even want the accompanying marinara sauce (which I gladly absconded with).\u00a0 Done right, a stromboli (named after the volcanic island of Stromboli off the coast of Sicily) is a beautiful (and delicious) thing.\u00a0 Just look at that photo above.\u00a0 That crust is golden, no overly charred shade anywhere.\u00a0 Inside, the stromboli is a gooey molten mozzarella mess.\u00a0 Much as I would have preferred one with sausage or hot honey pepperoni, the stromboli was quite good.<\/p>\n

Mango and Banana Gelato<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since our December, 2024 discovery of Gelato Dolce Vita<\/strong><\/a> in Mesa, Arizona, we’ve made it our first stop in the Valley of the Sun.\u00a0 It’s the best gelato we’ve ever had, maybe by far.\u00a0 It thrilled us to no end to discover that Johnny’s offers this exquisite frozen treat.\u00a0 While the Mesa store features dozens of flavors at any one time, Johnny’s is currently limited to six flavors.\u00a0 If those we sampled–mango and banana for me–are any indication, denizens of the Duke City are going to fall in love with this gelato<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 It’s simply the best gelato in the universe.<\/p>\n

Johnny’s Pizza is may be a relative newcomer to the west side, but already has a loyal following of hungry guests who believe it should expand–maybe the way it’s expanding waistlines.<\/p>\n
