Fridays are automatically pizza days to me. I guess that's just from having it served as a rectangle with corn in school. Well the Rocket City has some of the best places to grab a slice that would earn an A on the report card! Here are a few of our favorites, but let us know if we missed any!

The best part about this long-time Huntsville favorite is that it's family friendly and not fast food. Have a seat and enjoy yourself! We suggest the cheeseburger or white pizza!
You get to see them put your pizza in the wood-fired oven. It comes out bubbling and crispy on the edges. The pizza should be followed up with some of their adult ice cream from their campus creamery. The bourbon butter pecan is divine!

This is the place you go if you want Pizza with a view. It's just by the Huntsville Museum of Art so after walking around and discovering all of the wonderful works of art, grab some wine and pizza. The view of Big Spring Park is beautiful and if you are catching a show at the Von Braun Center, it's only a short walk!

This fun and funky restaurant is in the heart of Downtown Huntsville. The art on the walls and décor when you walk in let you know the owners enjoy creativity. They pizza is made to order and delish. Don't forget to save some room for gelato! They have several different flavors and will even let you sample them if you ask nicely! (Psst -There's also a Madison location too)

Valentina’s gets its name from owner Joe Carlucci’s daughter, Valentina. Joe, who is Italian born and raised in New York, wanted to keep his heritage alive by teaching his daughter the family recipes. Carlucci is a 6-time World Champion Pizza Maker and 2-time Guinness World Record Holder recently winning the Best Pizza Maker in the World and Best Pizza in the World categories at the International Pizza Expo. The pizzas are made from scratch daily using only the freshest hand-picked local ingredients.
They have pizza, but I do love a good calzone. Just call me Ben Wyatt. The best place about this restaurant is the portion sizes. You can easily eat here and have leftovers for the next day!
