Wyoming isn’t the first state that comes to mind when people think pizza. That’s a mistake. Across the state you’ll find wood-fired Neapolitan pies, hand-tossed classics, creative specialty pizzas, and at least one legendary small-town stop that travelers deliberately reroute their road trips to hit twice. Here are five spots worth knowing.
Racca’s Pizzeria Napoletana — Casper
Racca’s is the standard-bearer for pizza in Wyoming. It’s the only certified Neapolitan pizzeria in the state — certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the same organization that guards the tradition of authentic Neapolitan pizza in Naples itself. That certification isn’t just a marketing claim. It means the dough, the technique, the oven temperature, and the ingredients all meet strict standards rooted in the birthplace of pizza.
The result is a thin, slightly charred, chewy crust with a blistered cornicione that you don’t find at your average Wyoming pizza joint. The Margherita is the move if you want to understand what they’re doing — simple ingredients, perfectly executed. The atmosphere inside is warm and lively, the service is consistently praised, and the owner Rachel Mondle (who took over from the founders in 2023) has kept the standard high. With over 2,100 reviews and a 4.4-star rating, Racca’s has earned its reputation.

The Pizza Place — Lusk
Lusk is a town of about 1,500 people in eastern Wyoming, the kind of place you pass through on a long drive and might not think twice about stopping. You should stop. The Pizza Place has developed a genuine cult following among Wyoming road-trippers — people who have rerouted their drives specifically to eat here, and come back again on the return trip. That’s not hype. That’s the kind of word-of-mouth reputation that only comes from consistently excellent pizza.
The pies are hand-tossed, thick, and loaded. The crust is light with a good chew, the sauce is housemade and well-seasoned, and the mozzarella is generous. Order a large — the staff recommends it, and they’re right. The building itself is a beautifully restored historic space, spacious and warm inside, with a rustic feel that fits Lusk perfectly. The calzone and the cinnamon sticks with cream cheese dip for dessert are worth mentioning too.
214 S Main St, Lusk | Tue–Sat 4–9PM, closed Sun–Mon
Bella Fuoco Wood-Fired Pizza — Cheyenne
Bella Fuoco started as a food truck with a fully operational wood-fired oven, catering private parties and festivals around Cheyenne. In 2017, owner Brenna opened a permanent location in a converted turn-of-the-century home on Warren Avenue — and if you go, there’s a good chance Brenna herself will be making your pizza. That kind of owner-operated attention to craft shows in every pie.
The dough and sauce are made fresh daily, and the wood-fired oven does what wood-fired ovens do best: blisters the crust fast, creates real char, and gives the pizza a depth of flavor you can’t replicate in a conventional oven. During warmer months, the backyard patio is one of the better spots to eat outside in Cheyenne. Highly recommended by locals and visitors alike, with a 94% recommendation rate across hundreds of reviews.
2115 Warren Ave, Cheyenne | Tue–Fri 11AM–1:30PM and 5–8:30PM, Sat 5–8:30PM, closed Sun–Mon
Hambone’s Pizza — Cheyenne
Where Bella Fuoco leans Neapolitan and traditional, Hambone’s goes the opposite direction — bold specialty pizzas with creative combinations that have built a loyal local following. The White Out Pizza (chicken alfredo base, spinach, artichoke, tomatoes) and the Prairie Hog are standouts that reviewers rave about. The cupped pepperoni is another crowd favorite — properly curled and slightly crispy at the edges, the way pepperoni is supposed to be.
Both thin crust and hand-tossed are available, and the kitchen makes it work for both styles. Friendly staff, easy ordering, solid delivery operation. If you’re in Cheyenne and want something with a little more personality than a chain, Hambone’s is the call.
415 W 17th St, Cheyenne
Wyo Dough — Cody
Cody is one of Wyoming’s most visited towns — gateway to Yellowstone, home to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, and right on the route that every summer road-tripper eventually ends up on. Wyo Dough is the pizza stop you want in that context: a locally owned family operation with over 20 years of restaurant experience behind it, sitting right on Sheridan Avenue steps from downtown.
The specialty pizza lineup has real personality. The Hot Honey Pepperoni — red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and a drizzle of hot honey — is the local favorite and easy to see why. The Spicy Honey BBQ Chicken (housemade spicy honey BBQ sauce, chicken, bacon, jalapenos, pineapple) is a bolder choice that hits all the right notes. They also do smoked tri-tip on the menu, which tells you something about the kitchen’s range and ambition. Fresh cut fries, garlic cheese curds with hot honey, and house-made calzones round out a menu that’s worth taking your time with.
1732 Sheridan Ave, Cody | Tue–Sun 11AM–10PM, closed Monday
The bottom line
Wyoming’s pizza scene is better than its reputation. These five spots — spanning certified Neapolitan, hand-tossed road-trip classics, wood-fired artisan pies, creative specialty pizzas, and a family-owned Cody staple — make a strong case for the state. Whether you’re a local or passing through, any one of these is worth going out of your way for.
