Reviews of Farina Pizzeria & Wine Bar Downtown

Madie Leon Riley

Tasty food with a great neighborhood vibe. We had the soup special (a vegetable soup that was fresh, flavorful and chalk full of different types of veggies), a spinach salad, and then two pizzas at half size. If you’re not sure which pizza you want to try, they offer the option of doing half the size for half the price + $1. It’s a great choice for trying more of the menu. The margherita was our favorite for sure. The spinach salad was definitely one of our favorites we’ve had. We each got a glass of the Cabernet on special and just sat and chatted with some good food. I recommend this place after a long day if you need to unwind with some friends.

Aisha Montanez

The pizza was so delicious. The crust has an amazing flavor. I got the margarita pizza with pepperoni and my husband got the special. The ingredients are fresh and the pizza is made to order. The service was on point. Farina did not disappoint. I have to say I do like the look and style of the restaurant. If I am ever back in New Mexico this pizzeria is a must! Candace, JD and the manager were very attentive and kind.

Rachael Meuwissen

We ordered the fungi pizza and it's was freaking delicious. Best pizza we've had in a long time! And being from Minnesota, it'll be a long time before we can have this pizza again!! 😭😭 Oh we also had the butterscotch budino! Also, fantastic! We did takeout and was quoted a pick up time and might have been 3 minutes late and the pizza wasn't very hot but it was still delicious.

KT Sterlin

This place was delicious. It was our first time and we went around lunch time so it wasn’t too busy. The service was quick and the food came out in a reasonable about of time. We tried 2 different pizzas and they both were good- the carni and the salsissia (without the sausage). I added pepperoni to replace the sausage and it was fully covered in pepperoni. The carni was also packed with the meat toppings. For lunch for 2, we spent just below $100 including 2 drinks and 2 pizzas. We ended up taking home half of each pizza and could have tried the split pizza option which we might do in the future.

Never dreamed we’d get a table at 640p on a Fri night. We were right off the plane & wanted a good meal. The Verde salad was split for us. Amazing tastes , perfectly dressed, served with fresh homemade bread with a bit of garlic oil. Delightful!! The sweet Italian sausage pizza was seasoned to perfection. The cannoli was another perfect split. So we’ll done. We were seated immediately because the service was excellent& the food kept coming. Great meal. Can’t wait to go back.

Darryl Nicholson

There’s a reason this pizzeria ranks as one the BEST in the country. Excellent charred crust pie + a thoughtful wine list. Don’t miss ordering the pizza crust dipping sauce!

Came to celebrate a friend's birthday. Place was full but not crowded, which I appreciate during this time period. Staff all wore masks. Excellent, attentive, friendly service. Thanks for making our birthday girl feel special too. Parking lot on the side with additional metered parking in front. Love that we can do half and half on pizzas (only extra $1 to make halfsies. And fyi, gluten free option available). We loved everything we ordered: bianca, formaggio, carni, and the funghi. The olives appetizer was excellent. So so good. But what will have me coming back is the butterscotch budino! Umm... who's birthday is next?!!

Jon Lenz

This is the pizza that dreams are made of. Took my parents here for their 36th anniversary lunch April 5, 2023. La Cumbre on tap, great wine selection, house made fresh mozzarella, very high quality ingredients, and expert pizzaiolas. We ordered the caprese appetizer, carni pizza, special chorizo pizza, and the pepe caldo pizza. Everything was amazing, pizzas were cooked perfectly and looked beautiful. The head chef was extremely nice and answered all my crazy pizza based questions. If you’re looking for pizza in Albuquerque, this is a must try.

Eric

Caprese salad is fantastic here. Pictured in this review is the side salad portion and not the full size. Mozzarella was fresh. Did the meat ball calzone as a pizza and it did not disappoint. Meatballs were full of flavor and the ricotta was delicious. They also had La Cumbre as their brewery of choice on tap and had a wide selection of their beers. Providing a good selection for most tastes.

Crystal Sampson

Visiting Albuquerque and came across this gem. The Meatballs Al Forno Balsamic is amazing and tried their special avocado salad and verde salad. Pizza we ordered Salsiccia and it was really good. This is a great place to eat and the ambience is casual and inviting. Definitely recommend this place.

jennifer b.

Absolutely delicious!! Had the Verdi salad ( greens, apple, gorgonzola cheese and candied walnuts) the Fungi pizza sooooo good!!! Had it with a gorgonzola dipping sauce 😋 Topped it off with a bottle of Sangiovese wine. Definitely coming back !!!

Nicole Armstrong

The food is amazing ! We had the fungi pizza and a meatball calzone as well as the antipasto plate ! Additionally despite being very busy our waiter was attentive , friendly and non stop hustling . Great experience !

hamid mozafari

The best Original Italian Pizza I ever had in the US. Excellent quality, good portion, and affordable price. Will definitely comeback again.

🔥🍕One of the best pizzerias in Albuquerque if you ask me. Over the years, this place has been one of my favorites and I always recommend this place for people from out of state to try if they enjoy pizza. I think they have great management and staff, also. I included several photos of not just their amazing pizza but also their interior which has a nice vibe. Check our their specials and featured items that rotate often. Even their desserts are great and I can wait to come back after writing this review. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟's!

John Trambley

We had a great lunch at Farina! There are daily specials in addition to their regular menu. I tried their grilled chicken salad which was one of the daily specials. It was full of flavor and healthy items like avocado, jicama, beets and more. Yum! (I should have ordered a second one to go.) Someone else in our group ordered a pizza and it looked really good.

Ashley F

YUM! No regrets on anything ordered - the pizza was devoured completely and delicious.

David Stern

A great restaurant, but not in the best location (hopefully that part of Central is on the up and up). The pizza is amazing and the service is wonderful!

Polite Posse

Phenomenal pizza. Quite possibly the best we’ve ever had (we eat a lot of pizza). The crust was perfect. The staff was amazing and other customers were super friendly. We’d be here at minimum once a week if we lived close.

Nikole Clarke

Farina makes their own tofu ricotta along with a cashew parmesan. They have a weekly vegan special for their pizza, which is what I ordered. Honestly, it was pretty good! I loved the crust and the ricotta was really well done. Thank you for offering vegan options!

Kinsey W

Delicious and unique pizzas! Casual and cozy atmosphere. Service is always great! Don’t skip on the dipping sauce.

Mahsa Sanei

I liked the Pizza and environment. Really great Italian style pizzas and desserts.

Andres Elias

Some of the best pizza I have ever had, really! The Gorgonzola dipping sauce its a great idea. Gives the pizza experience a great new experience.

Michele Lee

OMG!! I am a pizza lover and I must say this pizza is delicious!! I had the Carne and a Bianca and both were so good but my favorite is the Carne so tasty and loved how thin the meat is. The salads are also amazing. I had 3 of them but the chopped is a must have!🥰🥰 I'll definitely be back!!! …

Jessica Lewis

Very delicious. I was really glad we were able to order half of two pizzas because I am always so indecisive. Good wine selection. We enjoyed a special salad and meatball appetizers before the pizza. We shared a cannoli for dessert. Our server was on point with water refills and attention whenever we needed it without being pushy. Loved it all and will definitely return.

Jonathan Sorken

Pizza was delicious, staff were really kind and pleasant, will recommend highly...

Ashantie Castro

AMAZINGGG! Crust was delicious and perfectly cooked, pepperonis tasted great so glad we stopped by! Service was good very welcoming

Luis R Gastelum

Very nice place. If you are traveling down the I25 south corridor. Farina isn't far away from the highway. Very nice atmosphere, cool place to eat. I loved the minestrone soup, very New mexican style. One of the best GF pizzas I ever tried:crispy and soaf at the same time. Best coffee by the way...so good. And the cannoli....oh boy...rich creamy mix with a orangy touch...

Aaron N

Stopped by Farina Pizzeria a few days ago after reading some grave reviews about the place online. The day was sunny and the restaurant only moderately busy. The window table looking out onto to Central only seemed far too ideal; so I didn't waste anytime in taking it. After carefully reading the menu, the margarita pizza seemed like the perfect fit for me. The menu prices are a little steeper than what is common at similar restaurants. However, Farina is more of an artisan type of joint, so it's not too bad (all things considered). With that said, the food is well worth what you pay for it. When my pizza arrived, I was pleased with how it looked and was intending on taking some of it home with me. That didn't happen, as each slice proved to be better than the last and I soon found myself staring at an empty pizza platter. Though, it their pizzas may appear charred in around the edges, don't be alarmed. They forewarn guests that this is a natural consequence due to the exceptionally high temperature of their ovens. I can reassure you, that it doesn't compromise the taste. On top of my awesome pizza, the service wasn't too bad either. My server was both cool and collective, which is all you can really ask for.

Joel Barrett

Awesome thin crust pizza prepared perfectly. We got the carni and added mushrooms. Man, it was sooo good! I also had the Belgian beer and it knocked my socks off. That one is definitely going on the “Enjoy Again” list. And to top it off, the parking lot security guy was so nice. Not like other places where they demand crazy money just to park your car then you never see them again. Nice perk for this location.

Alina Long (My Love)

It wasn't too expensive but a bit more than average pizza chains. It was a friendly atmosphere and quick service. It has beautiful natural lighting. I will definitely recommend this place, and I hate marinara pizza sauce so this place had a wonderful change of pizza if you like trying new things.

Elizabeth Byrnes

What a find! Stopped for a late lunch/early dinner. Our servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Pizza was amazing! Adjacent parking lot was a bonus

Jarod Gonzalez

Food was great. Good alcohol selection. Staff was friendly and the manager was on top of his game.. he was greeting people and making sure everything was running smoothly. Will def be coming back.

Danny Plata

Came across Farina on google as one of the top rated Pizza places in ALBQ. I can see why, the place is clean and cozy. The waitress who helped us was kind and respectful. The pizza came out quick and tasted delicious. The only reason I didn’t give a five star was because when my family and I got sat at a corner booth by kitchen. Literally 5 mins later they placed a table (which was not there) For another party of 3 literally 2-4 feet away from us. We could practically hear each other conversation. With there still being a pandemic going on, it’s important to at least make the table 6 feet apart. Aside from that my experience was a good one.

Konjure Brand

I’m a New Yorker that gets around and eats more pizza than the average person. The Pepe Caldo from Farina’s is the best slice I’ve ever had. Not an exaggeration, it was just the best. Can’t wait to have it again.

abesh mubaraki

Got the daily special pizza and it was delicious… we finished half the pizza before I thought to take a picture of it haha. Great service and nice atmosphere.

Ang3lina

I bought take-away a Margherita pizza and I must say it was quite delicious! It’s not the original 100% Italian pizza, but still it is the most tasty I have found here in Albuquerque!

Leigh A

5-star worthy all around. Quick curbside pickup and amazingly delicious pizza. The Pepe Caldo and The Salsiccia are our all time favorites. I have to get the gluten free crust and I appreciate not being charged a ridiculous up charge! It’s smaller and thinner but still a perfect portion size and has an excellent taste!

Lauren R.

Excellent place to have pizza. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. There is plenty of street parking and behind the restaurant. The pizza was so flavorful and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. I split the gluten free pizza (Bianca & formaggio di capra) had and the verde salad, and gluten free ginger beer. Absolutely delishes. Whenever I'm in town I will definitely be back!

Mat L

Always solid food and atmosphere. Salads are fresh and original. Pizza is high quality and cooked properly. Great wine collection.....1/2 price select bottles Sun-Tues. Great servers and lively restaurant.

William Gomez

Food, atmosphere, and service were all amazing. Amazing pizza and underrated pork sandwich. Highly recommend if in the Albuquerque area.

Gerbrand Bosman

Nice place in downtown Albuquerque. No "classic" pizza's here but that's fine: We had a selection of half pizza's to share and they were all great! The butterscotch cream desert was awesome too!

Mac Gardner

Delicious food and friendly staff. Very reasonably priced with specials and nice salads too! Creative pizza interpretations as well.

Angelica Anaya

Amazing service and the most delicious pie. We had the generous chopped salad along with their Carne pizza. The crust was spectacular and taste profile was well balanced and not overly salty or greasy considering all the meat. Definitely my favorite place for pizza in the 505. Plus- Parking lot attendant looks after vehicles and ensures safety. Big plus!

Phil Weber

we tried almost every pizza and they were all fantastic. great service and reasonable beer menu.

Joshua Cohen

Driving across country and had one meal in Albuquerque. Went because of the reviews on line and it truly did not disappoint. Had a very nice salad, a delicious Carni pizza, craft beers, and a large wine selection. Highly recommend.

Teri Hafer

From the moment we walked in, greeted and served right away. Very friendly staff and pizza is outstanding (Carni). Can't wait to come back

David Stafford

Great little place, cool vibe, inviting bar, good pizza. Menu is a bit limited and pricey, but you will get a good amount of delicious food.

Lance Lewis

Best pizza in Albuquerque! Great ambience / atmosphere and fantastic food. Eat here and you will not be disappointed!

Darrell Blair

Like every other restaurant in town, the prices have Skyrocketed at Farina's, they have always been a bit high but we never minded paying the price because the food was top-notch, this time however, our pizza was not very good, it was dry and did not have enough sauce, we had two pizzas, a chopped salad and three delicious butterscotch desserts and it came to $110, that is outrageous

Dan Helsten

Fantastic pizza and good beer selection. Katie, our waitress, was great

Claudie Ready

Large portions and ready good food. My wife and I split a salad and a pizza. Great quality ingredients and just awesome food.

Joe Reichert

Everyone here really takes pride in their work from the second you pull into the lot. Great food and service. Professional and friendly, not an amateur operation here. You will not be disappointed!

Martina Amador

This place is amazing! I’m from Houston. I looked at the star rating of this place and looked at the pictures. The pizza looks just like the pictures. The food was sooo delicious. And the staff was amazing. If your reading this just go away and start heading to Farina pizzeria.

Tiffaney Hawk

Delicious! I understand why this place has received so much praise. I will be back to try the pizza!

Sohil Garg

Good place, friendly staff and excellent quality of food. We went for the lunch special menu. To our taste, it wasn’t the best - but we would rather blame it on our own taste buds. The restaurant put their best efforts in the food.

AstarteAnthro

The Budino is the most amazing caramel dessert on planet Earth. The food never disappoints, and there's a nice little group of wines to pair with. Good for singles, couples, and they can take care of larger parties too. I'd call ahead for bigger groups, just in case. Worth the drive if you don't live in the area.

Karen Marsh

The pizza here is hands down the best pizza I've ever had.. and I've had a lot of 🍕. I had the salsiccia and the formaggio. I loved the pancetta, scallions, and goat cheese on the formaggio! The crust is crispy and the cheese and toppings are perfect. I usually don't write reviews but couldn't wait to share what an amazing experience this was. The building and location are a little outdated as it's downtown and the banner of the name is very small. The inside of the restaurant is small and quaint and they have a nice outside patio. There was nothing too special about the salad and it was kind of an odd combination of green beans, oranges, and avocado in a vinaigrette dressing. With all this being said, the pizza exceeded and yet met my expectations and I am looking forward to visiting here frequently!

Seth Daly

We hardly ever deviate and this is good for leftovers. Chopped salad, formaggio di capra and salsiccia. Also, budino, never skip budino.

Bacho. I

Excellent 👍 Personal-friendly 🥰 Interior-pretty cool 😎 Price- normal 😊 I ordered pizza margarita it was delicious and just 20$ for bar where you can drink wine it’s good price and I drank wine 🍷 I don’t know name but it was semi dry and I liked 😎 as I remember wine was 13$ it was perfect 🥰 Personal 5 stars ⭐️ 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you guys ❤️❤️

Camilla Lopez

The service was really great! Our waitress was awesome! The pizza was pretty solid and the chili oil was really tasty.

Mary Wright

The salads are also amazing. I had 3 of them but the chopped is a must have!

Francisco

Food atmosphere and helpful staff. Food is definitely quality and is quickly served. Food is a little bland in my opinion. Would be five stars but I felt the Calzone and Pizza was lacking.

Adriana Saray Marquez Gomez

Carni pizza and caprese salad 10/10 Excelente service and cozy ambient.

Chris M

The pizza is very good. The salads are so fresh and very tasty! Love the patio atmosphere very beautiful peaceful evening with my girl AMA....Great staff!

C. Reed

That was the BEST artisan pizza I've ever had. Just delicious 😉 it hit the spot! …

Effy Flores

Amazinggg, delicious, and good service! Thank you 😃👍🏻 …

Lisa Miller

Lots of delicious options for pizza including craft creativity. We ate sausage herb and margarita pizzas and the Verde salad! The beer wine list is extensive. They let you sample different spirits if need be. They have a tangerine beer that's amazing. We also sampled the butterscotch pudding (salted a teeny bit too much but I still gobbled it down) and my sister tried the tiramisu - yum! It's on the edge of the bad part of town so be careful to not miss it and continue down central!

Charles Fiorenza

70 bucks for a pizza which was not great and a calzone no drinks was a little pricey there are many better pizza joints in town

michael hidalgo

Amazing salad with super fresh ingredients and interesting additions. Pizza was amazing as well. Low key interior but food is amazing

RB ADAMS

Hands down the bestvthin crust pizza in Albuquerque. There are always weekly specials for pizza, salad and pasta. It is worth the drive no matter what part of town you live in.

Sonyia Hartwell

Thin crust, yeasty and cheesey. Good toppings. Sauce could use a lick of spice, but most people would like it as is. Great staff and speedy service.

sterling

Hand down the best pizza in the city, and if you’re gluten free their GF pizzas are some of the best I’ve ever seen. I love this place

Chaz Rich

Great pizza. The margarita was very flavorful. Enough almost for two people.

Mitchell Hennings

Fantastic service and very good food

DJ G

I'm a New Yorker, so my pizza standards are unreasonably high. This wood-fired pizza was fanTAStic. Great booze selection, too!

Kim Nentwig

Delicious salad special with grilled chicken. And my sister had pepperoni pizza and it was really great! Service was attentive and thoughtful! Would highly recommend.

Bernadette Vigil

This place has amazing food! Our waitress Candace was also super friendly and very attentive, probably the best one we’ve had eating out in Albuquerque! Will be coming back!!

Christian Krahenbuhl

EVERY time we travel through Albuquerque ... we will enjoy a great meal from this place. You can tell that their ingredients are fresh and their preparation has always been consistent for the years that we have been eating here. Their Sauteed Mushrooms dish is fantastic, especially with a loaf of their house-made bread. I would describe the pizzas as nepalese-like baked in a super hot oven ... if you enjoy that style. Everything we have eaten here has been great, especially the vegan Chopped Vegetable Salad. Great place indeed.

Mia Garuccio

Quick service and high quality food! Loved being able to combine halves of different flavors

M C

GOOD food. Some decoration is a bit weird but the food is amazing. Pizza is properly baked and delicious. Closes early.

Phoenix Bunch

Christ almighty. These lovely people were ON TOP OF IT. Pizza is up there with New York style. Some of the best I've ever had. Even though it was a super busy Friday night, service was still excellent and the food was great and came out in a timely manner. Will definitely be back!

L A

Great pizza 🍕 and wine 🍷. I will stop in again next time I'm in town.

Luigi Ferrari

Rarely give 5 stars but Farinas hit the spot on this traveler. Busy in the sense of lively, good food, good service and dining with my wife was the perfect experience for a Monday night out.

Jayne Greppin

I ain't gonna hate on this spot. If u have ever had pizza from Baboncino in Crown Heights and miss it sooooo badly try this place.

Maxemiliano Padilla

To simply say it’s the pizza that keeps people coming back wouldn’t be saying enough about the sensation you get by walking thru the door. The tantalizing aroma of fresh local seasonal ingredients, the lighting, the local artists rotating artwork, the inspired design, and lastly the impeccable staff turn getting pizza into an memorable experience. Being greeted with a smile from the sharply dressed owner, Stew, can give one the feeling of being a known celebrity. When it’s slow, it’s peaceful. When it’s busy, it’s electric. Never a bad time to go. Freshest pizza. Tastefully chosen wines. Crisp beers. Delicious salads and so much more. Enjoy

Mateo Romero

Can't go wrong with the Pepe Caldo. Super good and the crust is amazing. The Butterscotch Bundino is a super great dessert, and the appetizers are good too. They have a big selection of wine and beer to choose from.

T C

This place is 🔥 the pizzas and drinks were amazing! I liked the vibe and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Cb Sanchez

Superb salads, pasta & pizza, not to mention the superior service. On a busy Friday night a table for 5, we were seated within 5 minutes. Try it because everything there rocks!

Louise Campana

Best pizza and salads I've had in years.

Diane M

Outstanding pizza and a parking lot! Try the pepe Faldo pizza. Creative and delicious.

Emily Bee

This was the best pizza my partner and I have ever had. I had the gluten free base and he had the normal base and both were amazing. It was the best gluten free base I’ve ever eaten! Crispy and thin- not soggy and undercooked like it usually is. The wine and service was also great! Seriously go here- you won’t be disappointed.

Jennifer Buntz

A fun, go to place for lunch or dinner when you want great food, in a super fun spot.

Elizabeth Sherman

I went a few weeks ago with my Husband and kiddos. It was the first time that we had gone out to eat since we had a new baby and the pandemic hit. We ate outside in the patio, my kids enjoyed the pizza. We felt safe and it was very clean and the staff were wearing their masks. The pizza was very good !!!

Jeane Jeans

Hands down best pizza in Albuquerque!! We had a 1/2 Funghi 1/2 Carni and both were the best mushroom and 3 meat pizza we’ve had in an extremely long time. Also got the Chopped Vegetable Salad which was, for starters, shareable for 3 (maybe 4) people since it was packed with every vegetable imaginable, amazingly fresh, and the vinaigrette dressing paired perfectly. We did to-go and not only were the employees who helped with our order super nice and hospitable, they also brought the order out to our car.

Adam Delu

Probably currently best pizza in ABQ, swapping spots with Amore. Great vegan pizza. I mean amazing. Nicely curated wine and beer, daily specials. Good atmosphere in EDO. Wish there were more outdoor seating. Just lose the parking lot?

Wellness Energy Healing

Great atmosphere... you gotta get this pizza!! It’s soooo good!! The last two pieces left...:)

Stephanie Trujillo

Great staff. Friendly. Fabulous atmosphere. Appreciated the young man's enthusiastic offer to carry 4 to-go pizzas to car. Since the pizza was for a hospital department, I didn't get to try them but am eager for that opportunity. The aroma itself was wonderful!

Samantha Henderson

I hate that they are now closed on Sundays, that’s was the day I would go the most with my family. Now unfortunately we have to do are Sunday dinner somewhere else, but the food is amazing!!! Best pizza in Albuquerque love it!!! The service is normally pretty great I’ve never had a bad experience here! ❤️

Ron Morris

Here in Albuquerque for a bit and decided to get some pizza. Atmosphere was very welcoming and this place appears to have a good customer "grouping". Had a pizza and drinks and all in all, was pleased with it. The only reason for a 4 verse a 5 star was the time it took to get the food. . . Waitress apologized but that is the only reason not a 5. . .keep up the good work and yes, I will eat here again

Tyler Hill

Phenomenal lunch pizza and great service. Definitely be returning to try more of the menu!

Inglis Reynolds

This is my favorite go to pizza place!! My usual is the meatball pie and I love their chopped salad. I often do take-out when visitors come over! Many of the tables are next to each other but it seems we go at just the right times and it's never uncomfortable. There is bar seating and an outdoor seating area also. It can get pretty loud if full!

Bernadette Barnaud

Amazing food. Fresh and excellent and high quality. Very good & friendly servers.

mike humphries

Just want to say that Farina Downtown is absolutely one of my family's GO-TO places when we want a nice night out, awesome food and beer selection, and excellent service! Favorites include Salsiccia and Margherita pizzas, Verde and Caprese salads, and DEFINITELY Butterscotch Budino! La Cumbre Elevated on tap among others. I grew up in Philly and when I'm jonesin' for a friendly city bistro vibe...this is the spot! This is also a place I will get gift certificates to give as gifts. Thanks for the awesome hospitality Farina Downtown! :-)

Dusty Schau

Their pizza is amazing, the salads are really good (and I'm not a salad guy), and the staff are super attentive and nice! The pizzas aren't your regular pepperoni, but rather more inventive and delicious. Plus, the outdoor patio is nice to enjoy. All in all, I'd highly recommend it!

Carly Kalkauski

My husband and I did take out - two pizzas for a 5:30 pm pickup. We called a little under an hour in advance so they'd have plenty of time to fire them up. Maybe too much time. When I arrived at 5:31, they were sitting on the counter waiting for us. No warmer, unfortunately. In the ten minutes it took us to get back to our hotel, it was already cold. It was still pretty good, but temperature issue aside, it really was not the Knock Your Socks Off pizza we expected from the reviews. Not bad for the price, even if the crust was a bit burnt. We'd probably try a different spot next time, though.

Nick Brittin

Very good New York style pizza. It's floppy, delicious, and it's my favorite pizza in Albuquerque. The service was awesome, too.

Michael A

Excellent pizza, especially the Green Chile and Pepperoni pizza I ordered. I had them go easy on the char, because I’m not super into that flavor, but even the parts that were charred were excellent. Every bite had a different and equally complex flavor, making the entire pizza a varied experience. I strongly recommend!

Madison Millis

I call this my favorite fancy pizza place! All of the ingredients are so amazing and unlike anywhere else in the city. They hang really neat local art and have a rotating variety of both beer and wine. Have been many times and have never been disappointed, always full and happy!

Kelsey Wirtes

This is the best pizza I’ve ever had! It was absolutely amazing! We had the Carni pizza and added ricotta cheese. We also got the Gorgonzola sauce for dipping and that was delicious! I definitely recommend coming here if you get the chance. We are from out of town, but we will be back if possible.

Christa Tarr

Our family came for a birthday party. The waitstaff seated us quickly and were very hospitable. We did not need to wait long for our pizzas. Everything we ate was delicious! We ordered multiple kinds of pizza and shared. Bianca (white pizza with truffle oil and artichoke hearts) was recommended by the server and tasted amazing! Farina's tiramisu is the best I have EVER had and I let them know we'd be back. Thanks for a great dining experience

Alice Fox

Always fresh pizza. With a well rounded special menu that changes often. Great wine selection. Their green onion and gorgonzola cheese dip is better than ranch!! Gotta get some if you're getting any of the pizzas. The service good, orders our quick. It's usually busy and loud during a Friday or Saturday night. If you wanna beat the rush get there around 4-5pm. It's a great date night place. During the summer the patio is open and offers a fresh view of the lively central street.

LEROY Leal

I recently just heard of Farinas. Being a connoisseur of pasta I tried the Spaghetti and Meatballs along with the chopped salad. Their food is magnificent and I highly recommend them for all pasta lovers. I have heard their pizza is to die for and will try it on my next visit! Excellent customer service as well.

Calen Taylor

The pizza's were delicious! The thin crust/Neapolitan style can sometimes be disappointing to me (sparseness of ingredients), but this was perfect. Had a good selection of local beers as well. The only downside was a slightly higher price point than I would prefer to pay for a pizza like this - but I would say it was still worth it!

Justina Galloway

Such unique taste and so delicious!! Although servers don't really check on you through out your experience

dal3snr

Waitress started out real short, such a hurry she forgot to take 2 out 5 drink mistakenly. She was really busy and her attentiveness the rest of the time more then made up for it. Staff as a whole seemed great. Small portions, price were fairly reasonable. The food was very good. If they did a pizza with fresh mozzarella and fresh tomatoes that would be their best one in my opinion(they might, didn't look). They certainly have the crust down. If I lived in the area, it would be a regular stop for us.

Juan Mondragon

The pizza and the appetizers and the service were all phenomenal! New go to pizza place in Albuquerque!

Dewayne Saiz

This is true authentic pizza. Feels like I'm eating pizza from Italy. They cure their own meats with so much love. You can taste the quality in all their pizzas and salads. Selection of wine and beer is huge! You must try this place!

Matt Schneider

Farina is a very cute establishment where the service staff creates an authentic Italian feel. One dish is hardly worth judging a place by, but for now, it's all I've got to go on. The pizza I had was well cooked, though the sauce left something to be desired, the ample sausage was lacking flavor, and on the whole it just didn't come together. I will be giving Farina another shot, as I feel as though they can and usually do do better. For now, three stars, but I'm hopeful that I can kick that up a notch or two next time.

Jackson Trigg

Awesome! Formaggio di Capra was even better here than the Alto location we normally go to. Just sad to see all the staff still being required to wear masks. More smiling faces the merrier!

Rachel Buckley

Fantastic pizza and salads. Great atmosphere, makes me feel like I'm back living in a large city. Service is always outstanding! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because they raised the price on my favorite pizza from $15 to $18 recently. That's a big jump in my opinion. We'll still eat there but that's starting to verge on west coast gourmet pizza prices. Over all delicious and worth eating there!

One of the best pizza spots in town. The crust is so thin and crispy. I had the magherita with green chile. It was so tasty. I can't seem to try anything else on the menu because the pizza is so nice. One day I'll have to try their salads because the look awesome.

aaron salguero

Walked in the door and was immediately greeted upon entry, were very nice and when I pointed out a seat in the back immediately prepared it for my party. Wait staff was friendly nice and informative; we asked for a recommendation on the wine and our waitress responded with a very good chardonnay that my party members loved. The appetizers and dinner options weren't cheap, however they were very good. Dessert options were few but very good, they were out of a one thing but still came up with a great replacement. Our party let well after the establishment closed and even then they were still very present and very helpful even as we were walking out and asking questions about their wine they were still very happy to answer questions about the wine and its place of manufacture.

Colby Dobias

The pizza was good but did not live up to the hype. Staff was very friendly. Overpriced. Wouldn’t come back if I ever happened to be back in the area.

Mr. Kevbo

Excellent fresh salads, great stone oven pizza. Be sure to check out the specials. I took off a star for atmosphere. It gets very noisy, and most of the seating is too closely spaced...so not an ideal spot for for intimate conversation. They feature local artists, and this changes monthly...always interesting if not always to my taste.

Brenda Paiz

I LOVE coming here. I wish I remembered the bartender's name who usually serves us because he is so nice. Not overly attentive but just the right amount. The beer selection is nice and they serve Prismatic coffee here (at least they did the last time I was there) and it's so delicious. I recommend the margherita pizza paired with whatever local IPA they have on tap.

Giovanni Cordova

Absolutely delicious vegan pizza!!! The tofu ricotta is to die for and this has become my new favorite vegan pizza spot! No daiya cheese, but honestly I’m not a fan of the store bought vegan cheese. This pizza was amazing!

Marie “Mo” Chestnut

8.26.19 Update. I received a handwritten sincere apology note from the chef and a gift certificate. It meant a lot to me as a long time customer that my concerns were noted and are being addressed. As I said in my earlier review I really love their pizza so I will give them another chance in the near future. _______________________________________________________________ I really love the pizza from Farina's but they need to check the pizza crust bottom before it leaves the kitchen. At least twice now we have come home with a togo order to discover the bottom crust was literally burnt black. Yesterday it was two out of 5 pizza's for my bday pool party. Totally burnt. I called and the manager is sending me a gift card to make up for it. No apology. I mean that's fine and all but serving a burnt pizza is inexcusable. Why is burnt pizza even leaving the kitchen? Do better.

r scott carlson

This place is the bomb. I love the pizza fungi but just plain pepperoni is awesome too. They're open for dining in and curbside pickup. Owner Stu goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. There's a good vibe to farina

Lara Sullivan

This place is amazing! The art displayed is so beautiful and interesting. The service is fantastic as well. Amanda is an incredible sever, she's very friendly and knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine list. They have local/craft beers! The food is also mind blowing. I've never had a pizza with broccolini on it before but now I can say I'm a believer. Also try their homemade gelato! The flavors rotate often, and they're all very good.

Erin Stopes

Lovely local place. Downtown menu and space are more limited than the location in the Heights, but they're making it work. Great salads and great pizza. Wine is reasonably priced for great selections.

Scott Lewis

This is Albuquerque's best classic pizza. Beautiful fresh ingredients, delicious crust in a crazy hot oven. Salad as its own art form, really! Pasta, calzone, everything. Great wines, beer. I love this place!

Chip Edwards

Excellent thin crust pizza. Fantastic loaf of sourdough bread. Service was both helpful and courteous. Food was ready quickly. Definitely recommend.

Christopher Brown

It was ok.. my kids and myself did not really like the taste of the pizza. It wasn't bad. Just not my style. I guess I'm just a normal pizza guy not all fancy and all. I will say the building is cool I really like old buildings remodelled but still have that old style.

Christy Kurnik

Farina is great! They have a fun environment with awesome, unique pizzas from local and house made ingredients and a great local beer selection. Four stars instead of five is because sometimes their pizza is a little lacking on the topping quantity, but overall is great.

Andrew Mioduchowski

Awesome Italian style pizza... Just had the standard margarita pizza to get a base line and it passed with green white and red colors. Lol all the ingredients were top notch. Nice restoration modern atmosphere. Bar tender well trained.

Chad Werenko

Excellent pizza and salads served in a fun environment! Terrific selection of wine and beer! Expect to wait during rush hours, especially Friday and Saturday evening, but enjoy a beverage, it's worth the wait. Also, don't hesitate to sit at the long communal style tables, you may even get to know your neighbors!

Luke Davis

Great pizza! Salads are the bomb too! Service is usually great. Fantastic wine selection. It is the best pizza anywhere near downtown. I happily take clients here for business meals and introductions.

Dianne Taylor

Farina's pizza is absolutely the best. You won't find a crispy crust like it anywhere. And the toppings go way beyond the usual pepperoni and such. Good draft beer selection to go with the meal too. It's likely to be crowded and a bit noisy but you'll have a great time.

Rose Velasquez

This is a great locally owned place. They have great wood fire pizza’s, especially if you like the crust extra crispy. My favorite is their spaghetti and meatballs. They have a good wine selection and lots of local beer but the restaurant is small and can get very busy at times

Tessa Cappelle

Farina Pizzeria offers original Italian pizza and has - in my humble opinion - the best Tiramisu in town. Their pizza is delicious and the staff has always been friendly. I spent my birthday here and was happy that everyone else was happy, too! Thank you people of Farina Pizzeria!

Elena Esparza

Lunch chicken salad was cooked to perfection. Dressing was perfectly seasoned. Pork sandwich was a very large portion and was delicious. The only reason I did not give a 5 was because service was slow and the server had an attitude.

Lindsey F

Amazing food and service. We have been coming here for years and it’s always consistently excellent. Highly recommend

Tsianina Williams

Everything I've ever ordered here has been amazing. I love to get the salad special and the pizza special. They make gelato and sorbet in house and usually have about 5 different flavors. Absolutely delicious! The owner is very friendly and chats with customers when it's not too busy.

Erek Casteltown

This is one of mmt favorite pizza places in town. I LOVE fire roasted, thin crust pizza. They are never stingy with their toppings and you cal taste the freshness of threw items. My favorite is the Bianca pizza with basil. I really like the truffle oil that's drizzled on. And the Margherita pizza and a beer special for $14 is always a great choice!

Diego Colom Steele

Probably the most unique pizza flavors in Albuquerque. Excellently made pizzas for a reasonable price. Great place for friends or taking out your SO. Very good, quick service and nice ambience.

Aleah Waldron

This place has great food, and great service. When crowded, the brick walls make for a very loud experience. Needless to say this is not the place I go when I want to have a conversation. I just discovered you can order a pizza without the "char" which I thought was great. It is a bit pricey but the Fungi pizza is by far the best mushroom pizza in town.

Paul Gada

Unique and flavorful food. Hopping on a Tuesday night.

Kyra Styner

Delicious pizza, great service, great wine.

Cat Warren

Best gluten free pizza I've had, maybe ever. I always try to stop by here when I'm driving through. They do use the same cooking surface for all pizzas, so if you're celiac or sensitive be sure you ask them to put your order on some foil in the oven.

Todd Hathorne

A decent place for downtown. Great food. A nice glass of red wine. Excellent salad. (says the guy on a diet that has been approved by Adult Protective Services.) Yeah, eat here. It is good.

James Couture

The pizza was really tasty and the coffee was also excellent. The extra green chili was slathered appropriately. The carni pizza had almost too much meat, but I'm sure one could request to go a bit lighter on that. The sauce was well-spiced and the crust really crispy in the best way.

Leila Marisa

This is simply one of the best pizzas we have ever had! And everyone there was so friendly and nice.

Renata Smagacz

Although I did not eat the pizza, my fiance raved about it. However, I did eat the chicken with salad(the only one on the menu) which was out of this world. I would recommend this Pizzeria to anyone. Also, the turnaround weighed was quick and the staff was amazing.

Reed Page aka Sweets 505

Best pizza in all of Albuquerque hands down. Service and staff exceptional. Parking can be slightly frustrating but honestly well worth it. Stop in if you get a chance!

Jennifer Heath

We had a lovely, casual evening here. I had the white pizza and it was delicious! We sat outside towards the back of the restaurant, nothing fancy but a nice relaxed atmosphere and our waitress was friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the more hip places we visited in Albuquerque.

Tom Maestas

Very fine oven baked pizza. Service so-so. Delicious Caramel pudding dessert. Overall, an excellent choice for just-east-of-downtown (EDO)

Andrea Schoeny

Busy place, best to get there earlier in the evening. My husband and I went for our 1 year wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. We spent exactly $60 on our meal: antipasti board (shared), margherita pizza (shared), the cheese dipping sauce (totally worth it), and a glass of wine for each of us, plus the tip. We were disappointed to not have the option of fresh-made pasta. All in all, it was delicious food, but considering we shared everything, $60 is a little steep.

TK O'Geary

Great pizza. You can get traditional items or try their creative combos. Cooked in a VERY hot brick oven, which means a nice almost crisp crust. Good variety of beer. Nice, prompt wait staff.

Rich Cederberg

They have great pizza, the crust is fantastic, made in a real pizza oven. I always get the antipasto and a beer. It makes for a perfect meal. It can be very crowded on Fri and Sat, so be ready to go early or wait, but it's worth it.

Nick Younger

Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! My daughter and I recently enjoyed our night out at this awesome, wonderful place in Albuquerque! The staff was perfectly friendly & professional. I highly recommend this place. Simple atmosphere. Elegant service.

Amelia Chavez

Hands down the best pizza in Albuquerque. I always get that Bianca and add roasted garlic. The gorgonzola dipping sauce is an absolute must. The have a good selection off draft beers and customer service is always spectacular.

Howard Raymond Dobin

I been here twice; once a crowded Friday night, once a relaxing late lunch. This time it was late lunch. My companion wanted a glass of wine, but they did not stock that variety. The server promptly recommended a possible substitution; she was DELIGHTED with it. We split the chef's special pizza concoction and were not disappointed. LOVED the cannoli. If the special artisan pie of the day doesn't grab you, may I recommend the "Carni"; it's a meat-lover's delight!

Ana Lara

Pizza was great had the Bianca but added fennel sausage! It was wow! Such a cute place too. Called ahead to let them know I had a car seat with a little one and they gave us a booth which was perfect.

Curi Teran

The Margherita pizza was amazing, the wine the server recommended was perfect, and the customer service was above and beyond. It was a memorable first experience and a really delightful time dining-in due to the atmosphere the restaurant has.

Marisa Pickett

Came here becauae of all the reviews. The Margherita pizza is 10/10 the best! The Carni pizza was also so good. The meats were flavorful but not too greasy! Definitely going to come back again for a nice dinner. So glad to find a delicious pizza place.

James Baca

Hands down one of the best gourmet pizza places in the city that ive tried. Personally greeted by the owner and our service was probably the best service ive ever experienced. Our waiter was perfectly on time with fast, accurate, friendlyand professional service. Butterscotch desert was just perfect. Atmosphere is classy with romantic lighting with Italian brews. Amazing place wishing i would have found this place earlier. Bravo

Tyler Young

Great service and friendly staff. The caprese salad is tasty and if you like mushrooms, the funghi pizza is excellent. The oven gives the pizza a unique flavor and texture that is like no other.

Rouge Papel

I have to say I LOVE Farina! Gourmet pizza at a very reasonable price. The atmosphere is hip yet laid back. I could feel comfortable in jeans and tshirt as well as a dress to go dancing later. All of the pizzas are excellent but I really like the fungi. Service is top notch here. Everyone who walks in is treated like an old friend. Highly recommend a stop or two (or 90) here!

Rob S

Perhaps the best pizza in the southwest. One of thee best in the country, no kidding. Check the pictures others posted of pizza, it says it best. I couldn't take a picture, because ours was eaten so fast. Reminds me of the crust of pizzas I've had on the east side of Sicily. Beautiful modern decor, too. Not too stuffy, though, and in fact rather friendly. Funny, cool touch: When you order a Coke they ask if you want it n a bottle or in a can.

F. Arable

Would probably only be a 3- or 4-star place in another, bigger city, but it's pretty great for Albuquerque. What made the experience 5 stars for our large, picky group with lots of questions was our super-patient and informative waiter who I think was named Liam (or William, too noisy in the restaurant to hear well). It's been a long time since I've had a server who knew the menu so well or who was so enthusiastic about every aspect of the food and beverages being served. He answered all our questions, even things like 'what is every single vegetable in the chopped salad?' and got all our special orders right. This kid even knew the kind of vinegar on the chicken wings, which made the chef in our party very happy. Pizzas were good to great, and salad was big and hearty.

La Jaysa

As a small business owner, I’m always looking for new places to take guests and colleagues. One of my clients is the sous chef at a fine restaurant up the road in Nob Hill and recommended this place (granted, the Montgomery location). Went after a family function downtown, and was greeted as cold as the weather outside. It was explained that I could not be seated until my entire party arrived. Which can be understandable on a busy Friday night, if said with warmth and care. It seemed as if I was a bother or a homeless gal who came in off the street. Wasn’t even offered a seat at the bar in the meantime. Luckily, my party was close behind. I think the manager realized his tone and attempted to change it and make it a better experience. I was already over it, and we were also really hungry. The food came out very slowly, slow enough that the table was offered a discount and desserts. The server was mildly attentive. I think this would have sufficed if the second pizza was not terribly burnt on the bottom. I felt as if I was eating char. By that point, was certainly not going to bother to send it back. The restaurant cleared out quickly indicating that it was not THAT busy for a Friday at 9PM. I think the late gestures were kind and appreciated, and unfortunately the tone was set when I walked in. First impressions are crucial in a town where many restaurants don’t make it. With the variety of fire oven pizza available in town, I won’t go out of my way to patron this place with the unfriendly vibe that was established. “Regulars” were greeted warmly and some left with hugs. It was an over-all average experience and, appreciate the effort.

Molly Fowler

Very tasty! Had the formaggio di capra and it was excellent!

Matthew Gautreau

Outstanding establishment with exquisite quality and service beyond a shadow of a doubt!!

M P

Of all the places we've lived, ABQ had the best pizza. We've since moved away but still haven't found anything like Farina. Can still taste the margarita pizza with butterscotch budino for dessert. My god!!

Teresa Doyle

Gluten free pizza and toasted olives were stellar The chopped veggie salad was huge and packed with so many different vegetables it could have been a meal by itself. Excellent gluten removed beer too.

Evelyn Castillo

This is such a nice pizzeria! It's a small, but very hip and stylish. I tried the chopped vegetable salad and the carni pizza and they were both very delicious. The service was also very fast and friendly.

Bobbi Cabezon

Absolutely delicious and creative fare! The pork sandwich, pureed vegetable soup and hearty salad were all crafted and cooked to perfection! And the crusty grilled garlic bread was too good for words. I know you are a local business, but we'd love to have you expand to Baton Rouge.

Jozo Zovko

Definitely the best pizza in Albuquerque. Better than Amore for sure. It's a very pretty location. Nice coffee and wine selection. It could actually be the best overall restaurant in the city for a casual night out.

Jonathan Miller

Farina's is the best pizza in Albuquerque, especially if you don't like pizza. Every night brings a new special that combines fresh ingredients in new ways! The only complaint is that it is too popular.

Grimmity

Oh man did this hit the spot! I had Chad as a server/bartender and he was johnny on the spot with everything. Very attentive and detail oriented; even served the ginger beer the correct way for my wife. The pizza- We got half fungae and I forgot what she wanted for the other half but then we also got prosciutto on all of it. Wow! It wasn't cheap mushrooms nor was it just one type, I think there was 3 different types of mushroom and they were all very delicious especially with the prosciutto accompanying it. Her side was pretty good too. The beer- Quite a selection of foreign beers

Taylor

My friend and I shared a caprese salad and a Bianca pizza. We live in NJ so we know good pizza. I did not necessarily expect to find pizza THIS good in ABQ! Wholeheartedly recommend.

Heidi&Ross Dailey

So delicious & great atmosphere. If you like wine and pizza this is the place to go!

My Name?

As mentioned in other reviews,service is great. Very polite people,bartender even greeted us. But im here to eat. Pizza,well expensive. May be healthier depending on ingredients used,but too thin to fill any man up,let alone a hungry family. So pizza is good, but not enough and too expensive. Drinks are refilled unless your buying a coke .The can of coke,for a 12 oz coke,3 bucks. Seriously? Thats without refills. No machine huh? Their selection on non alcoholic beverages seemed limited. Overall ,3 stars. Oh just to give you a price,for my two kids,mom and wife plus me, without tip,44.53. I ate not even two hrs later and no, I am not obese.

Alan H

Has to be one of the best pizza places I have visited, better than most New York Pizza restaurants I have frequented. The venue and staff were friendly. Was busy even on Mondays which says everything about his pizzeria/wine bar. A strong recommendation for a casual pleasant casual place to eat.

Joe Shultz

Excellent pizza and service. Went here with a group of 5, all of the food was delicious. Nice selection of beer and wine. Highly recommended if you're looking for a pie.

Caliban

Great find, especially after needing a change from traditional New Mexican food. Found it randomly by searching Google and my wife and 8yo loved it. Can't go wrong with the pizza or salads. Priced very well and was impressed with out door seating area.

Patti Roberts

My husband and I joined Farina for their 10th anniversary dinner: a six course meal with paired wines. We had a great time and the food and paired wines were excellent! If you ever get a chance to experience one of these dinners, don't miss out.

Cathy Carrillo

My favorite "gourmet" pizza place in Albuquerque! With a lively atmosphere, great wine & beer selection, & locally grown, New Mexico sourced ingredients creatively inspires the menu! In addition to the amazing pizzas served my favorite extras are the chopped salad & the butterscotch budino for dessert.

David Hamlow

If you like the slightly charred, crispy yet chewy crust that comes out of a really hot oven and eschew hum-drum pedestrian toppings, this is your place. A quick perusal of the menu will tell you if you're in the right place. If it suits your palate, they do it up right!

Max Feaster

Awesome environment. Great pizza. Fresh, well cooked ingredients. The budino is a must. However, stay clear of what they call a cappuccino. Overall - one of the best places in Albuquerque.

Gabriel Aleman

Wood fire pizza, nice downtown ambience, top notch customer service.

Lily Wallace

Delicious pizza, wonderful antipasto plate.

J p

Excellent salad, pizza is ok, beer and wine selection is fine, service was great.

Christopher Bonnette

Everything was amazing, the wine Periquita paired pefectly with the fungi pizza which is absolutely delicious. The salad a well crafted blend of taste & flavor and the canoli dessert is simply devine. Topped off with the latte stout for a perfect dinner. The bartender had a wonderful ease with the patrons and service from our waitor Orion was impeccable. I highly recommend Farina for a lovely dining experience! ☺

Dakota Waterson

The best pizza is Albuquerque hands down!!!!! All of the pizza is amazing. The restaurant is small so I recommend going earlier or later than busy times! If youre living in Albuquerque or visiting you need to come to this restaurant.

David Ringo

Farina is one of my favorite pizza places. Their pizza is thin-crust and cooked in a high temp wood-fired oven. I don't really bother with anything other than the Margherita, since loading toppings on that style of pizza will quickly ruin the crust. I've also had the roasted olives (delicious) and a few different salads (always fresh, flavorful and well balanced). They have a solid, rotating selection of beer and wine, including some bottles that are well out of my price range, but manage to keep the menu very reasonably priced overall. Finish your meal with affogato if you're still hungry.

Richard Shafer

One of the better Napolitano style pizzas I have had here in Albuquerque. As a note, I basically compare all Napolitano style pizzas to Christopher Bianco's in downtown Phoenix, and I don't think this was comparable but it was a lot better than il Vicenzo in the Cottonwood Mall area, so take that however you would like 😄. The pizza was good, parking was pretty easy to find, and the people inside were pretty relaxed and easy going. Server forgot my beer, which was weird considering the place was less than packed. But aside from that little glitch, this place is worth a visit for sure.

Carsten Brandt

If you like thin crust pizza, this is the place to go. Perfectly prepared pizza, very consitent quality. Also fantastic salads, good beer (usually 6 local beers from several breweries on tap) and wine selection. Our favorite is to share a margarita pizza with green Chile (usually nice amd toasty) and a chopped salad. Lots of fantastic specials, get the roasted pepper appetizer (summer only) amazing flavor (they only look hot). Changimg desert specjals as well.

Angela Smotherman

Definitely a favorite as I am passing through! Love them for fresh, delicious food and ambiance!

Bradley Berkson

Outstanding Neapolitan style pizza. Best in town and one of the best I’ve ever had including NYC and Italy. Bravissimo!

Krystal Holladay

First time at Farinas today with my work buds and it was........ So tasty!! Amazing!! We did half chicken salad and the chicken fell apart in your mouth (so good). We also had a half Veggie Salad and it was PERFECT! The pizza we had was Half Carni (meat) and half Formaggio (white sauce). Im definitely a meat lover type of gal but both pizzas were sooooo good!! I strongly suggest you have a slice or take your favorite person and split a pie! ($15-19 average price) Enjoy!!!

M. Burke

Their GF pizza is amazing!

Keren shen

very good atmosphere. The waitress was very nice. The food is very tasty. The pizzas are extra tasty and the mixed salad was sooooo good. I recommend this place! Yummy food, great atmosphere!!

Cammy Finley

Awesome. We go to Farina when we celebrate something, as the food, the staff, the beer, the art, and the atmosphere encourages celebration. Positive vibe. Always full, which is fun. Sit at the bar if you are super hungry. Must have the desserts - any - all amazing. And they get five stars as well because they are one of the few restaurants in town who have staff that actually know how to use the espresso machine. One more thing, they have cute bathrooms. Clean.

Amit Gupta

Great place close to Presbyterian and Lovelace hospitals. Fair amount of vegetarian options. Large servings.

Alexander D'Angio

Awesome food and service. Got the meatball appetizer and salsiccia pizza, was the perfect amount of food for two. Only downside to this place is it is often crowded when it's cold outside and the patio is closed-but the food is worth the wait!

Steve Badger

Outstanding pizza: thin crust, fresh ingredients and great service. Highly recommended!

Melissa Hahn

Great interior design, brick walls, big windows. Enjoyed some gluten-free pizza and hard kombucha. Great service too. Lots of colorful murals outside!

R Burson

Another great experience. I love their gluten free pizza options, everyone leaves happy and very full. Budino Butterscotch desert is just delicious. I recommend everyone try it!

Justin

Waiter was really good, pizza was even better. Was really busy even until about 8pm. Would suggest trying it at least once if you are a pizza enthusiast. Parking can be difficult, you might have to drive around a little bit but its worth the minor hassle.

Elise Jackson

Fresh in house made Mozzarella. Fresh inhouse based Ciabatta. Fresh in house made pizza sauce, tomato sauce, and pasta. Great wines, perfect price points, Great attentive service. Creative chefs serving outstanding dinners. More then just perfect pizza, Farina's Italian food is authentic and delicious.

Ro

Only had a salad tonight but the place was full on a Sunday night. Waitress was awesome.

Ryan B

Not a big fan of places that publicly display their political options, but wow do they know how to make a good pizza. Probably one of the best that I've had.

Jeff Pitts

Limited parking, good food and nice atmosphere.

Nathan Henrie

Food was good, nice fancy pizza and delicious salad. Service was fun, server was very laid back but always seemed in control of the situation. Nice to sit outdoors, although someone was smoking nearby.

scott hays-strom

Ordered to go. Since I lived a block away I had to wait for the pizza. That being said, the servers were really great got me a drink while waiting. Definitely worth it!

C'est Jardin

I came in on election day for a relaxing atmosphere and I got it. Great service and a good wine selection. They had my favorite wine, a carmenere, which was perfect and unexpected. Good conversation helps too.

lemonz pvp

Great service, fun atmosphere, delicious food. Seriously delicious pizza. I have yet to find any place that comes anywhere close to the quality of ingredients in their pizza.

David Giaquinto

Shauna was accommodating to our large party for our lunch meeting. Thank you for wonderful food and great customer service! We will see you next year for the Dental Convention.

Christopher Murphy

This is one of our favorite date spots in Albuquerque. We love the gourmet pizza, interesting salads, and casual yet refined atmosphere. It's fancy pizza without pretentiousness.

Miriam Robles

Pizza is amazing! Crispy crust homemade sausage and sauce.verde salad was delish. Excellent Service. Great Cannoli and butterscotch budinno. Will be back..Good wine selection

it hammer

Great beer choice. Good pizza and nice service. Very good place.

Erik Leander Paule

Great service, pizza was really good, cannoli was a bit dry...

Ras Bruno

The best wood fired pizza in Albuquerque. A great place if you are interested in great pizza and Italian pasta dishes. Tasteful and simple upscale environment.

Ethan Mooney

This is the best pizza and Italian in Albuquerque, hands down. They also make te best eggplant parmesan I have ever had, and I've lived in New England so I know good Italian food.

Emily Alcorn

I highly recommend the eggplant pizza - while it doesn't sound the most appetizing if you're not a fan of eggplant, this pizza will change your mind! Be sure to get green chile added.

Jerod Sparks

Amazing food and great service!

Charles Hunter

Excellent pizza and big salads. Three of us ate one pizza and one salad and had salad left over. It's smallish, so you might have to wait, but it's worth it!

Jesse Adams

Great authentic brick oven pizza joint. It's a tight fit inside so you may sit next to strangers... Food was amazing but lost one star due to the awkward elbow bumping of my neighbors.

Isaiah Ruffin

The specialty pizza was delish, the staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was awesome. It was a bit loud inside but manageable. Overall... I can't wait to go back.

Jayden Amelia Burd

Great food, great service! They have plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options. The only problem I ever had was when I ordered through DoorDash, but it was fixed promptly by the owner even though DoorDash was responsible for the mistake.

Bonnie B Favorites

So good. As a former NYC pizza snob I can confidently say this is the best pizza in NM and an arguable contender for almost anywhere. Get the chop salad for sure and pick your own pizza.

Tracy Lewis

I must say the reviews are spot on about this pizza place! My family and I stopped by today, and my daughter ate almost a whole pizza by herself! Definitely a new "must have" pizza stop for us when in the area!

Christina Caskey Rooke

Seating can be tricky at peak times, but the pizza is so delicious! Love their salads too. Love the decor as well.

Laura C

Really excellent pizza. We had a fungi, a margarita with pepperoni, and an eggplant with chicken, all excellent. Great service, and a nice high end atmosphere.

Spindustry P

Ok so I just finished reviwing the one up in the hights and as I stated on that reviwe, these are two individual experiences. With this one having to be my personal favorite. It seems like no matter what time my wife and I have came here it is always busy and for good reason. The food is amazing. The environment is youthful and energetic (sometimes a bit loud) and it is located in the heart of our beautiful city. This unfortunately means that being downtown it is susceptible to the criminal aspect this part of the city can be overwhelming by at times BUT DON'T LEAVE yet because they got this covered with the nicest guy i have ever met who not only helps you park and watches over your car like a guardian angel but he dose it night after night freezing cold or burning hot with a smile on his face that has bought me back from the worst of days. Be sure to tip him as he is what keeps you safe to consume these delectable works of food music that await you day after day and night after night.

Josh M

Maria was the best server ever! After a long road trip we had the unexpected delight of amazing fare prepared with fresh ingredients in a warm setting. Tops!

Joe Hale

MYSTIC PIZZA-fresh ingredients, awesome pizza, even when they're packed, the wait is minimal and always worth it. The Pizzas are all great, salads are awesome and the Budino....there are no words, just order one.

Linda Keleher

I really like the pizza with pepperoni, goat cheese and artichokes it's so yummy. Glass wine with my salad. This place rocks. Central @ Edith I do recommend!

Deena Rosenberg

Yum, the Monday special (beer and a margarita pizza) is a great deal. You won't be sad if you order anything with mushrooms on it --unless you don't like mushrooms and then there will be more for me.

Joe Pulcinella

When I give a pizza place five stars, I mean it. I make my own pizza and have been honing my technique for years. This is what I want mine to be. It's real Naples-style, one-person pizza made in a 700-degree, wood-burning oven. I had the carne (meat) pizza with pepperoni, sausage and salami along with a caprese salad (with real mozzarella di bufala)and was in heaven. I tried the Margherita pizza, too, and it was fantastic. The atmosphere is very nuevo-hippy as you'd expect in Albequerque. This was our first meal after a long plane ride and before a long car ride to Santa Fe. The only downside (?) was that it wasn't open on Easter when we were headed back through town on our way to the airport to go home. :o(

Thome Penn

The chopped salad is the best salad in ABQ- the dressing is amazing and the veggies are so fresh. Always a great meal here. Thank you Farina!

Phuong Anh Nguyen

Farina is the original of farina and farina alto in albuquerque. Farina is super tasty, but has a much smaller menu compared to alto. Furthermore, it's small and gets crowded fast. If you're craving pizza and dont mind the extra drive, I would recommend farina alto on Montgomery.

James Newell

Such good pizza!! The ingredients are so fresh and delicious. Great spirits too!

Anna Apodaca

Most wonderful tasting and beautiful looking pizza in town. I’ve had the pizza in Rome, Italy and the pizza here is just the same!

Chris C

We were visiting from out of town and we were recommended this place by the staff at Thirsty Eye (also fantastic). We were not disappointed. I recommend the Salciccia pizza as it is delicious and the pizzas are fast.

Tasty gourmet pie. Not too expensive. Server chick had Mr. Rogers belt buckle. Sexy. Crust wasn't firm, only complaint.

Tara Murray

Great food and atmosphere. It was busy on a Friday night but still comfortable enough for a long dinner talking with friends. Love their pepperoni.

James Erickson

Very Tasteful in every bite, The Staff are Nice and always attentive to make sure you have what you need I enjoyed farinas everything is great💯🥰.

Josh Sisneros

Best downtown pizza spot in Albuquerque. The staff is always friendly and food is great. Great patio environment!

Nicolas Arauz

Best Pizza in Albequerque. If you are from New York, this is way better than Grimaldis and fancier than a local NY Slice, similar to milkflower in Queens. If you are from LA, this is like Gjelina in Venice. If you are from ABQ you should just get in your car and go!

Daniel Cordova

I had my family in town from the east coast and they said that this was the best pizza that they have ever had. We had a great time. Construction sucked but pizza was boss.

Ursula Geiger

Authentic Naples style pizza....EVERYTHING FRESH...yum! Dessert and salad excellent. Service great... a new fan for sure.
