WisePies reminds me of a fast food pizza joint. It's very similar to Subway. You pick your crust (regular, thin, wheat, or gluten free) then pick your toppings. They pop it in the oven, and it comes out minutes later. I went to fill up my soda cup and when I sat down, my pizza was already ready, so it was extremely fast. I could see my children liking this place, because you get to choose unlimited toppings and they build it in front of you. For me, it was alright. It was edible pizza.

I often get told that I eat a little too much pizza. Oh well, it's probably that Italian gene that is embedded somewhere deep down. Anyhow, today I decided to give this place a whirl for lunch and was not disappointed. They offer personal sized gourmet pizza that you can choose from the menu or you can create your own for the same price. They have several types of crust to choose from which is a big plus because I am devoted to eating whole wheat. The whole process from selecting the toppings to receiving your delicious pie takes about 6 minutes. In my opinion this place is the pizza equivalent to a subway but so much cooler because it is local. The portions are good for one person per pie. So, if you are bringing more than one person, be sure to keep that in mind. Overall, really delicious and fairly priced.

Stopped in to grab lunch before our flight back East. Didn't have much time, and thought a sit down meal would be out of the question. But the service was speedy and friendly. Plenty of choices, thin crust meat lovers with extra cheese was decent, and the entire stop took 15 min. Amazing. Sunny outdoor table helped me relax, though it is right on a busy road. And then there was the table of unsupervised kids next to us - hanging off the railing above the street right in front of the sign that says to "Keep Off". . . I'm deducting stars for that, and the grease puddle on the pie that I soaked up with a napkin.

Love this place - even more so now that they added a combo meal or pizza and salad! What to expect? Think of a SubWay for pizza... They prepare your pizza for you as you tell them what you want and about the time you get your drink and sit down they are bringing out the order. Customer service is awesome as is the food. They could turn down the music a bit though...

I have been here a few times sine they opened and they have always been consistent with food quality and excellent service. The " wise guy " motif is fun including the names of their pizzas. The location can be tricky for parking since there are a few businesses that share the parking lot. My only complaint is that the pizza size is a little small and that there is only one size.

Good food. Nice customer service. You can get a more filling meal for the cost elsewhere. Other than that. It was worth the try.

What can I say, the pizza is excellent, even the green chile and customer service. I just think the price is really high and that they don't give you enough food, and I'm a skinny guy. I think I will stick to Dion's. Also my wife and I thought that the place smelled like a bathroom covered up with bathroom air freshener, instead of pizza.

Doesn't get much better than making your own pizza pie. Really like the "wise guys" theme. The mobster tag lines around the restaurant and their advertising are pretty funny and fits nicely with their uniforms and decor. Service was quick and although it's a casual spot where you pay first and get your food later, the staff still stopped by to ask how our meal was. I got the lunch combo with what was a rather sizable garden salad and a large drink. Well priced! I also appreciated that a Cesar salad was an option-and not for extra. The whole wheat crust tasted great, not too dry and crispy just like the regular crust. They also have a gluten free crust option. Highly recommend for an everyday lunch!

They greeted me as soon as I opened the door of this bubbly pizzeria along a stretch of Alameda that suddenly doesn't seem so desolate. A big, hearty Hello. Define the ol' American comfort food standard any way you wish (it really irks me when people claim expertise about pizza), one thing cannot be contested: these entrepreneurs (of Vernon's and Prime) know concept, customer appreciation, branding and marketing. WisePies has the look and feel of a polished franchise joint while it clings to a local personality that makes me feel right at home. Customer service is Job One, and there's plenty of cheeky character, here. Something I overheard (both times) while waiting in line were patrons saying "It's like Subway for pizza." While that's a fine way of describing the production line movement of the operation, it does a serious disservice to the quality of the ingredients this place is slingin': dark roasted garlic, gluten free crust, andouille sausage, basil pesto sauce, caramelized onions, artichoke hearts, capicola, gorgonzola, green chile chorizo - try finding any of those on your chain-built sammy. For seven bones, your dame is gettin' all dolled up. The final product, steaming in its little personal box, also arrives at a surprising pace. Ten minutes at most. Snatched from the jaws of a burnin' oven o' love, the crust puffy and slightly tinged, and sliced to fold into your gaping working lunch jowls, I'm thinking this place has a future. They will need to wrangle with the whole gangster/Chicago affiliation, however; many people will be expecting deep dish pies. Oh, and the salads are just four bucks, tough guy.

Not a bad little pizza shop. They have a mob/organized crime theme going on, which is different, but I suppose it fits with pizza/Italians. They've got about 9 pies that are pre-set, but you can build your own if you like. Pretty simple setup: you order, they make it in front of you Subway-style, and then they pop it in a conveyor belt oven (much like the Quiznos toaster thing). Essentially, they've married the casual fast food sandwich technology with pizza. And it works. Tasty pies! Location can get busy at lunch time, so be warned. In summer months they open up the walls, and you can sit inside/outside. Quirky modern drink machine has like, a bazillion drinks you can select from.

Great concept, well executed, and best of all, TASTY food! This was my first time in WisePies and all I knew about this place was that each pizza is the same price regardless of the number of toppings you get. What I did not know was that they make the pizza in front of you (kinda like Subway makes their sandwiches). I loved it! From the start, if you're new, they explain the process to you. Then you choose your crust (regular, thin, gluten free, whole wheat) which they have ready-made and ready to go. Next you choose your sauce, then you pick your proteins. I went for MEAT MOUNTAIN and got pepperoni, three different types of sausage (italian, andouille, chorizo), bacon, and I don't remember what else. Next you choose your cheese and I picked two different types of shredded cheese and then buffalo mozzarella on top of that. Somewhere in there I was able to add sauteed mushrooms. Finally, they topped it with a few shakes of oregano and said "it takes 3 minutes to cook". 3 minutes for a pizza? But I want it now! ...no I kid, either I am easily impressed or that is an amazing turnaround for fresh pizza. At this point I should mention that they also have a selection of pizzas with pre-chosen ingredients if you're the kind of patron that would rather say "I'll take the _______" instead of painstakingly agonizing over which toppings you would like. They have one of the newer Coke fountain drink machines, the kind with a touchscreen where you can add flavors and pick Mellow Yellow if you so chose. I am personally a huge fan of the Lite Lemonade with raspberry flavoring and these machines are the best place to get that drink. So for me, having this was a huge bonus. Food was delivered to the table, and it was a great pizza! I chose a winner. But then, their ingredients (which you see right in front of you) all looked fresh and delicious, and I image it would take effort to make a pizza that is NOT good. Maybe if you chose to mix the pesto with BBQ, or maybe if you just asked for a whole wheat crust with nothing but oregano on it.....?

Can you say Subway for Pizza? I thought built your own pizza was a great idea, I didn't realized it can be done. We have been stopping by for lunch since it is so close to where I work and I can't stop going there. I enjoy the thin crusted pizzas and I like that it is so fast and easy. The pizzas are as good or as bad as you can make it to be depending on what toppings you put on it. It is quick and easy no hassle. It is not gourmet pizza but it is pretty darn good place to get a quick bite for lunch.

Come in. Get in a line. Browse the menu for their offerings. Realize while you are in line that the pizza you are paying for is a small (9"). So just like a subway type of experience but not subway type of prices. Expensive personal pizzas, yes a small pizza depending on the toppings could ring you up $. I expected a little more flavor packed into the small pie I ordered...The Luciano, it didn't happen. Once you are out of line, and are looking for a spot to sit with your friends..good luck. The choices are bleak. We decided to sit outside. The service? Let's just say the person who took our order looked and acted like she hated her job.
I saw Howie's review roll by and my wife and I decided it was time for pizza. We stopped in for lunch today, the whole process really does feel like Subway but for pizza. Pick a crust and then they build your pie to order right as you watch. About 3 minutes later it's coming out hot and delicious. It really does have a feeling of a polished franchise, they need one up in Farmington! I used to work over on this side of town and all I can say is good job choosing the location! We had the pleasure of sitting on the patio which is open and airy, sun was beaming in it made for such a pleasant experience, I couldn't have ask for better. If you get a chance stop in, you'll probably be glad you did :)

I can't believe people are giving this place good reviews....first of all, it's too pricey for pizza. It's $7 for an itty bitty pie. The pie you get can feed one person or MAYBE two people (though that would definitely not feed me and my husband). Plus the pizza isn't good. We got a regular pie and one with green chili alfredo which just tasted like canned alfredo sauce....I didn't even notice any green chilis on it. Honestly, the $5 Little Caesar pizza would be just as good, plus you get a ton more pizza there for your money. Save yourself the trip. And oh my god the people that worked there were SO ANNOYING!! Literally every single person that worked there asked us "How is your day going?" only it didn't seem genuine at all, clearly someone told them to say that. We were also asked "how our pizza was" by every single person that worked there. Seriously, just let us enjoy our meal. FORCING your staff to be nice is just plain annoying and unauthentic.

I went to WisePies at the suggestion of a good friend and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly our pizza's were ready. As for the taste, well the flavor's don't do much to set itself apart from other pizza restaurants. I'm not saying the taste isn't good, I'm just saying I've tasted that pizza before at other places like Dion's. My description of WisePies is like Subway, you go in, your greeted by the friendly staff, you chose you crush and assortments of sauces, meats, cheese and veggies. Then you grab your salad and drinks and you pay. Simple, quick and easy. Great place to go for lunch if your in the area.

I went into wise pies not knowing what to expect. I was especially not sure when the pizza building process is so much like building a Subway sandwich. But I was pleasantly surprised. The ingredients are fresh and the pizza is a great value for the money. New habit is to stop in for two to go after getting my haircut. Staff is super fun to talk to.

Decided to try this place one week day night. It had a lot of promise at face value. Make your own pizza, cheap and fast! We ordered 4 pizzas, a salad, and 3 drinks - to go. Things went south from the get-go and the pizza only slightly atoned. First, they were out of most of the toppings we wanted. Secondly, they told us they were out of all salad dressings (except balsamic vinegar) until after we were charged for it. Then they refused to remove the salad from our order noting that they could not give refunds. Thankfully, the manager came over, hearing the dispute, and said, "we have two cases of ranch in the back" --- crisis averted. Finally, the pizza was ok. The pepperoni pizza tasted so overwhelmingly of cheese I could not taste pepperoni or sauce (and I am a huge cheese lover). The only saving grace was the chicken pesto pizza - it pretty much saved this place from just getting 1 star. Another plus to this place is the price and it seems like a good lunch stop or a place for a quick bite. There isn't much seating inside so plan accordingly. We know that they just opened up and are still working things out .....so....we will likely return in a few months and see if things have improved. Fingers crossed because we really want to like this place!

Never coming here again......you pay $8 for a small, basically no crust pizza, and the toppings couldn't have been skimpier. HUGE disappointment......

It is just o.k. I really think this should be a $5 pizza if that. - The nice lady says they use the best ingredients - well I did not taste much. Just the sauce. I ordered the FREDO - so so really. I think the pizza is way over priced for what you get. The customer service was good. The atmosphere is nice - they do have one of those new coke machines - which is fun - but again over priced for a medium drink $2.25. I wish they had more options like Calzones or Hot Sandwiches. Here are my ratings: 1. Food - 2 stars 2. Size for the price - 1 star 3. Atmosphere - Nice and clean 4. Customer Service - good - we were the only customers in there - so not sure what it would be like when it gets busy. 5. Will I go back again - the only thing I may go back for is the build your own salad - but honestly I probably just go to subway down the way instead.......

Friendly people, yummy pizza! We went there for lunch on the first week and it was freezing because they couldn't get the ventilation system going and had the patio window open. Loved our food! They will make everything! Very quick, in and out!
The pizza this place is serving up is wonderful! I'll admit, working near by I've seen plenty of restaurants come and go, this area just can't seem to hold it together when it comes to food. My expectations weren't super high, I assumed I'd go in there and get a mediocre pizza for $9 and mark it off my list. What I actually got was a good sized personal pizza with a drink for less than $9, served with a smile! They have three different crusts for you to choose from and all toppings are included in the price. The number one is amazing! Talk is they're building another location across from the Rust Center in Rio Rancho too!

Great pizza, I would consider myself a pizza conosure lol and the food was great! I had the #1 and loved it. The reason for the one star down was the service. They didn't seem to have a great system at getting the pizza to the customer, and were very scatter brained ( I would be too with 30-40 people in a small store). I will definetly try again but definetly take it to go.

I came here with my boyfriend after my dad told me it was like where I work out in Texas. Let's just say, I missed Texas more after eating here. The food did not look very fresh. It looked like subway and I was a little unsure of how it would be. There wasn't any really unique topping except for the sauces. Which the tomato sauce was only okay. On my pizza, the crust was way to crunchy for me. I felt like I was eating pizza on a cracker. Though the pizza is quick, 4 slices for $7 is really uneasy. I also wasn't full after eating here and wanted to go somewhere else when we left. After spending 21 dollars for two pizzas and two large drinks, going somewhere else was out of the question. It would be really easy to make the pizzas a little bigger. In all honesty, I'm not sure how this place has three locations (that I know of) because it's nothing super special.

Tania S.
I keep hearing that it's Subway for pizza. This may be only for the fact that you stand in line and have them put on ingredients while you stand there. To me that's great. I can choose all the toppings I want (at no extra charge), watch them do it, and get my pizza in LESS time than any other pizza joint besides the $5 pizza ready at little Cesar's. We were greeted RIGHT as we walked in which is great to be acknowledged instead of being just a number. I recommend them for a fast meal that taste good.

Great pizza in a hurry. We stopped by WisePies on our way to Colorado and it was the perfect lunch bite. I like that you can choose your own crust. The regular crust is thin but they offer a thinner crust - I can't imagine that it could be much thinner than the standard. You can choose your own sauce and toppings or Build Your Own. They have many different choices in toppings such as roasted peppers or caramelized onions. The pizza is ready quickly - about 5-10 minutes. The crust was nice and crispy brown. They also offer a few salads and desserts -cookies and dessert pizzas. We tried the cinnamon apple dessert pizza and it was okay - the apples are not fresh cut but it was a good little treat. The restaurant was clean and the staff friendly. The first person at the assembly line explained the options very well. The place is very casual and located in a newly built retail shop center. Overall I thought WisePies was a great little place for a pizza fix.

I came here with wife and our 3 kids. Let's just start by saying that it's not a place to bring the family. I can count the chairs that they have in this place. Luckily we came before the rush or we would have no where to sit besides outside. Still felt as we were outside though since the inside is open to the patio. Had to dine with Mosquitos the whole time. The pizza is pretty good with lots of choices from the dough to sauces. Salads are nothing special, not fresh already sitting in fridge pre made. Croutons were soggy because they are awkwardly refrigerated too. Paid over $40 for 3 personal pizzas, 1 salad and 2 drinks. Only plus about this place is the concept, the flavorful pizza and the freestyle soda machine. Not sure if we would go back anytime soon, too pricey. I can get 2 large pizzas and pitchers at Dions for the same price.

This place is awesone. Any pizza, the way i want it for $7. And the topping choices are not just the typical pizza chain choices. I have been here a few times and I am never disappointed. The staff is really young but usually nice and enthusiastic and helpful. Just wait a few minutes and you get made to order pizza. It looks small at first, but it's definitly good for one adult. Very good concept that I can see being a super hit.

Good food, better than 3 stars, but I'm supremely annoyed with this place. Why the hell would you take pick up orders but not prepare the food until you get there!?!? This has happened twice to me now. And the access to the place is pretty lousy too. I don't know if I'll be back, honestly. I'm really irritated.

I am an accommodating person in my flesh life, perhaps overly accommodating. As in, I tolerate too much of other people's bullshit because I am extremely empathetic and tend to rationalize other people's unconscionable behavior and ethics for them. It is for this reason I believe that my inner bitch really comes out and overcompensates in my electronic life. Oftentimes I will write a review here on Yelp, then wake up in the morning to re-read it and think "God, what a bitch." Hit delete. I recently went through this song and dance with a review of WisePies. Yet I still feel compelled to share my experience. Basically, I found their pizza to be pretty tasty and acceptable for the price point. The service was fine, i.e., not exactly effusive, but not offensive either. What really gets my Hidden Bitch up in arms is the decor and ambience of this joint. Everything is too metallic, too stream-lined, too self-congratulatory of it's overly hyped-up theme. This is a locally owned restaurant, so why is the decor and vibe so fucking sterile? It almost seems as if they designed this place with specific intentions to franchise it in the future. One of the reasons I deplore chains is because of the sterile sameness they spread and promote. I appreciate locally-owned businesses not only for the generally vastly superior product they deliver, but for their uniqueness and distinctness, for their very idiosyncrasies! Do you remember the original Satellite Coffee with its crazy profusion of Japanese toys alongside higher-end barista equipment? Sure, they made no sense together, but damn was it awesome! I'm thinking of I Scream Ice Cream now, and Cervantes Lounge. How about El Patio or Tito and Mary's Cafe? These places are absolutely quirky and unique--can you imagine a blue-print for franchising? No you can't, and that's the point! So I am ultimately disappointed in WisePies because I feel that they are cultivating a supremely sterile and impersonal vibe and experience, one that could potentially be had in any city, anywhere. They are catering to people who want everything to be exactly the same, every time, with no exceptions. Fuck that, I say.

Eh I'm going to use one of my husband's favorite sayings and say that this place was mediocre at best. If you're in the mood for pizza and don't feel like waiting for it to be delivered or bake it yourself, then Wise Pies is the place to go. The whole idea of it is great and you can get any toppings you want for a reasonable price, however if you take the family and your husband doesn't get full on just one tiny pizza then you're probably better of going to another pizza joint. For a family of four we each got a pizza and drinks and my husband ordered a salad on the side we ended up paying close to 40.00. I think I'll probably keep baking my own pizza awhile just cause I'm cheap like that.

Many have already said it - it's like Subway only for pizza. The positives are: 1. Friendly - helpful staff 2. Food tasted good 3. Very quick 4. One price (even if it's a tad high) makes ordering easy The negatives are: 1. Small, very little seating, crowded at meal times and often no place to sit 2. The tradeoff for a fast pizza is that it doesn't stay hot but for a few minutes 3. The cheese and sauce was just average 4. Parking can be a challenge and traffic in the area is horrible around rush hour I will go back. It may need to grow on me. But the concept is brilliant. I think many people will enjoy this place. It's just not the place I would suggest if you are a pizza expert.

This place is terrible. The guy taking the orders was rude and talked down to another employee in front of customers. If you're so upset about having to tell every person about how it works, you should place a sign. The sauce and crust were horrible. They skimped on the toppings. 7.95 for a pizza sounds great, if they knew how to make pizza. I had so much crust left from my pizza because they were short on the toppings and cheese I wanted a Greek salad but all they had was Cesar. The Cesar. Was just romain lettuce and a little container of dressing. I also asked for some chile flakes and they handed me one packet. Is there a chile shortage? Worst pizza place in alb/rr. Dominoes might of even been better then this place. Save your money folks and go somewhere else.

Sauce was ok, but toppings lack flavor. $8 is a little steep for a subway pizza that lacks flavor. You could get a hot and ready pizza from Little Caesars that taste better. Won't be back for this one.

Wise Pies has just opened. We went last night and were impressed by the quality of the food and the well trained staff. You order at the counter and by the time you are at the cash register, your pizza is coming out of the 600 degree oven! The staff were all friendly, several asked if they could clear our tray, get us anything else and if we were enjoying dinner. A 9" pizza with whatever toppings you want is just $6.95! We had 2 thin crust pizzas and shared a Greek salad which was $3.95. We had plenty to eat and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. This is a small location, with a total of 3 tables, each of which seats 6 people. There is a counter on the wall that has 6 (I think) comfortable bar stools and we were informed there would be another counter added to provide additional seating. There are large roll-up type glass garage doors where additional seating will be available when the weather improves. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did!

Nasty undercooked pizza, chesse and ingredients were not very tasty. No where to sit and they call themselves a family restuarant, maybe 4 tables total and a small bar that seats 4 at best. Anyone who eats the real pizza in ABQ like Giovannis, Marios, Dions, etc...will easily spot out this faux pizza joint.

Very good pizza for the price. They're made-to-order brick oven style pizza. I say "style" because they go through a conveyor belt oven that cooks them in a few minute while you wait. One bit of advice. While they'll let you load your pizza up with as many toppings as you want, I wouldn't go nuts. I saw a couple people go overboard and their pizzas didn't cook all the way through.

Great Pizza, really loved the sauce and crust! You can taste the quality ingredients! Staff is still a little rough around the edges, feels like they are still trying to figure things out. They were nice enough, though they could use a few service tips from their sister restaurant Vernons to really take service to the next level. Beer would be great too, who doesn't want a good beer with their pizza! I will definetley be back!

Kim I.
I had no idea that this place was a part of Vernon's and Prime. But it makes sense when you walk in and the manager speaks easily to each of us, asking if it is the first time there in a decent Chicagoan accent. If you are indeed new to the scene, he will gladly run through the protocol, pick your crust, pick your sauce, etc and then you take off down a line not unlike Subway. Three minutes after you pick your toppings you are eating. Great for a fast lunch!!!

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

WisePies reminds me of a fast food pizza joint. It's very similar to Subway. You pick your crust (regular, thin, wheat, or gluten free) then pick your toppings. They pop it in the oven, and it comes out minutes later. I went to fill up my soda cup and when I sat down, my pizza was already ready, so it was extremely fast. I could see my children liking this place, because you get to choose unlimited toppings and they build it in front of you. For me, it was alright. It was edible pizza.

I often get told that I eat a little too much pizza. Oh well, it's probably that Italian gene that is embedded somewhere deep down. Anyhow, today I decided to give this place a whirl for lunch and was not disappointed. They offer personal sized gourmet pizza that you can choose from the menu or you can create your own for the same price. They have several types of crust to choose from which is a big plus because I am devoted to eating whole wheat. The whole process from selecting the toppings to receiving your delicious pie takes about 6 minutes. In my opinion this place is the pizza equivalent to a subway but so much cooler because it is local. The portions are good for one person per pie. So, if you are bringing more than one person, be sure to keep that in mind. Overall, really delicious and fairly priced.

Stopped in to grab lunch before our flight back East. Didn't have much time, and thought a sit down meal would be out of the question. But the service was speedy and friendly. Plenty of choices, thin crust meat lovers with extra cheese was decent, and the entire stop took 15 min. Amazing. Sunny outdoor table helped me relax, though it is right on a busy road. And then there was the table of unsupervised kids next to us - hanging off the railing above the street right in front of the sign that says to "Keep Off". . . I'm deducting stars for that, and the grease puddle on the pie that I soaked up with a napkin.

Love this place - even more so now that they added a combo meal or pizza and salad! What to expect? Think of a SubWay for pizza... They prepare your pizza for you as you tell them what you want and about the time you get your drink and sit down they are bringing out the order. Customer service is awesome as is the food. They could turn down the music a bit though...
(4)Vicki S.
I have been here a few times sine they opened and they have always been consistent with food quality and excellent service. The " wise guy " motif is fun including the names of their pizzas. The location can be tricky for parking since there are a few businesses that share the parking lot. My only complaint is that the pizza size is a little small and that there is only one size.
(4)Jann S.
Just had a great pizza at the new location at I25 way. All 3 of us had amazing pizzas and each was build your own! Loved it!!! Thank you!
(5)Miss A.
Good food. Nice customer service. You can get a more filling meal for the cost elsewhere. Other than that. It was worth the try.
(4)Mario J.
What can I say, the pizza is excellent, even the green chile and customer service. I just think the price is really high and that they don't give you enough food, and I'm a skinny guy. I think I will stick to Dion's. Also my wife and I thought that the place smelled like a bathroom covered up with bathroom air freshener, instead of pizza.

Doesn't get much better than making your own pizza pie. Really like the "wise guys" theme. The mobster tag lines around the restaurant and their advertising are pretty funny and fits nicely with their uniforms and decor. Service was quick and although it's a casual spot where you pay first and get your food later, the staff still stopped by to ask how our meal was. I got the lunch combo with what was a rather sizable garden salad and a large drink. Well priced! I also appreciated that a Cesar salad was an option-and not for extra. The whole wheat crust tasted great, not too dry and crispy just like the regular crust. They also have a gluten free crust option. Highly recommend for an everyday lunch!

They greeted me as soon as I opened the door of this bubbly pizzeria along a stretch of Alameda that suddenly doesn't seem so desolate. A big, hearty Hello. Define the ol' American comfort food standard any way you wish (it really irks me when people claim expertise about pizza), one thing cannot be contested: these entrepreneurs (of Vernon's and Prime) know concept, customer appreciation, branding and marketing. WisePies has the look and feel of a polished franchise joint while it clings to a local personality that makes me feel right at home. Customer service is Job One, and there's plenty of cheeky character, here. Something I overheard (both times) while waiting in line were patrons saying "It's like Subway for pizza." While that's a fine way of describing the production line movement of the operation, it does a serious disservice to the quality of the ingredients this place is slingin': dark roasted garlic, gluten free crust, andouille sausage, basil pesto sauce, caramelized onions, artichoke hearts, capicola, gorgonzola, green chile chorizo - try finding any of those on your chain-built sammy. For seven bones, your dame is gettin' all dolled up. The final product, steaming in its little personal box, also arrives at a surprising pace. Ten minutes at most. Snatched from the jaws of a burnin' oven o' love, the crust puffy and slightly tinged, and sliced to fold into your gaping working lunch jowls, I'm thinking this place has a future. They will need to wrangle with the whole gangster/Chicago affiliation, however; many people will be expecting deep dish pies. Oh, and the salads are just four bucks, tough guy.
(4)Wes T.
Not a bad little pizza shop. They have a mob/organized crime theme going on, which is different, but I suppose it fits with pizza/Italians. They've got about 9 pies that are pre-set, but you can build your own if you like. Pretty simple setup: you order, they make it in front of you Subway-style, and then they pop it in a conveyor belt oven (much like the Quiznos toaster thing). Essentially, they've married the casual fast food sandwich technology with pizza. And it works. Tasty pies! Location can get busy at lunch time, so be warned. In summer months they open up the walls, and you can sit inside/outside. Quirky modern drink machine has like, a bazillion drinks you can select from.
(4)Dino D.
Great concept, well executed, and best of all, TASTY food! This was my first time in WisePies and all I knew about this place was that each pizza is the same price regardless of the number of toppings you get. What I did not know was that they make the pizza in front of you (kinda like Subway makes their sandwiches). I loved it! From the start, if you're new, they explain the process to you. Then you choose your crust (regular, thin, gluten free, whole wheat) which they have ready-made and ready to go. Next you choose your sauce, then you pick your proteins. I went for MEAT MOUNTAIN and got pepperoni, three different types of sausage (italian, andouille, chorizo), bacon, and I don't remember what else. Next you choose your cheese and I picked two different types of shredded cheese and then buffalo mozzarella on top of that. Somewhere in there I was able to add sauteed mushrooms. Finally, they topped it with a few shakes of oregano and said "it takes 3 minutes to cook". 3 minutes for a pizza? But I want it now! ...no I kid, either I am easily impressed or that is an amazing turnaround for fresh pizza. At this point I should mention that they also have a selection of pizzas with pre-chosen ingredients if you're the kind of patron that would rather say "I'll take the _______" instead of painstakingly agonizing over which toppings you would like. They have one of the newer Coke fountain drink machines, the kind with a touchscreen where you can add flavors and pick Mellow Yellow if you so chose. I am personally a huge fan of the Lite Lemonade with raspberry flavoring and these machines are the best place to get that drink. So for me, having this was a huge bonus. Food was delivered to the table, and it was a great pizza! I chose a winner. But then, their ingredients (which you see right in front of you) all looked fresh and delicious, and I image it would take effort to make a pizza that is NOT good. Maybe if you chose to mix the pesto with BBQ, or maybe if you just asked for a whole wheat crust with nothing but oregano on it.....?
(5)Meagan B.
I had The Fredo pizza and added salted mushrooms. The pizza was delicious and the service was friendly and helpful.
(5)Ling Tzu W.
Can you say Subway for Pizza? I thought built your own pizza was a great idea, I didn't realized it can be done. We have been stopping by for lunch since it is so close to where I work and I can't stop going there. I enjoy the thin crusted pizzas and I like that it is so fast and easy. The pizzas are as good or as bad as you can make it to be depending on what toppings you put on it. It is quick and easy no hassle. It is not gourmet pizza but it is pretty darn good place to get a quick bite for lunch.
(4)Eloy W.
Come in. Get in a line. Browse the menu for their offerings. Realize while you are in line that the pizza you are paying for is a small (9"). So just like a subway type of experience but not subway type of prices. Expensive personal pizzas, yes a small pizza depending on the toppings could ring you up $. I expected a little more flavor packed into the small pie I ordered...The Luciano, it didn't happen. Once you are out of line, and are looking for a spot to sit with your friends..good luck. The choices are bleak. We decided to sit outside. The service? Let's just say the person who took our order looked and acted like she hated her job.
(2)Cassidy L.
"So you're telling me I can have as many toppings as I want, everyday, anytime for $6.95" "Yes!" "Okay" So went the convo in line at the new Wisepies. Other reviews were right, it has a Togo feel and seeing as the tables were full, we took the opportunity to drink our local Marble brew and have pizza at home. I tried the Columbo...I'm a fan of yummy white pizzas and this one didn't disappoint. I added Capicola ham, which was a great addition. The garlic béchamel sauce was savory and garlicky and oh so yummy. The lingering flavor on my tongue was heavenly. I opted for the wheat crust, which was a great choice. I could have used it a little longer cooked, but overall was thoroughly happy with the decision to stop here. The sauces, the availability of toppings was amazing. Try it, you might like it. But stay away from the desserts...high dollar and not worth it.
(4)James H.
I saw Howie's review roll by and my wife and I decided it was time for pizza. We stopped in for lunch today, the whole process really does feel like Subway but for pizza. Pick a crust and then they build your pie to order right as you watch. About 3 minutes later it's coming out hot and delicious. It really does have a feeling of a polished franchise, they need one up in Farmington! I used to work over on this side of town and all I can say is good job choosing the location! We had the pleasure of sitting on the patio which is open and airy, sun was beaming in it made for such a pleasant experience, I couldn't have ask for better. If you get a chance stop in, you'll probably be glad you did :)
(5)Shalayne C.
I can't believe people are giving this place good reviews....first of all, it's too pricey for pizza. It's $7 for an itty bitty pie. The pie you get can feed one person or MAYBE two people (though that would definitely not feed me and my husband). Plus the pizza isn't good. We got a regular pie and one with green chili alfredo which just tasted like canned alfredo sauce....I didn't even notice any green chilis on it. Honestly, the $5 Little Caesar pizza would be just as good, plus you get a ton more pizza there for your money. Save yourself the trip. And oh my god the people that worked there were SO ANNOYING!! Literally every single person that worked there asked us "How is your day going?" only it didn't seem genuine at all, clearly someone told them to say that. We were also asked "how our pizza was" by every single person that worked there. Seriously, just let us enjoy our meal. FORCING your staff to be nice is just plain annoying and unauthentic.
(1)Rudy H.
I went to WisePies at the suggestion of a good friend and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly our pizza's were ready. As for the taste, well the flavor's don't do much to set itself apart from other pizza restaurants. I'm not saying the taste isn't good, I'm just saying I've tasted that pizza before at other places like Dion's. My description of WisePies is like Subway, you go in, your greeted by the friendly staff, you chose you crush and assortments of sauces, meats, cheese and veggies. Then you grab your salad and drinks and you pay. Simple, quick and easy. Great place to go for lunch if your in the area.
(3)Mark R.
I went into wise pies not knowing what to expect. I was especially not sure when the pizza building process is so much like building a Subway sandwich. But I was pleasantly surprised. The ingredients are fresh and the pizza is a great value for the money. New habit is to stop in for two to go after getting my haircut. Staff is super fun to talk to.
(4)Marissa H.
It's not just your ordinary pizza place. It's a build your own pizza place. They have a great selection of crust, sauces and toppings to indulge all pizza lovers! And it's ready in 5 minutes or less. :0)
(5)Carlin C.
Always a treat to come in. Excellent food, excellent customer service. Never disappointed. On top of everything, price is amazing.
(5)Jenn W.
Decided to try this place one week day night. It had a lot of promise at face value. Make your own pizza, cheap and fast! We ordered 4 pizzas, a salad, and 3 drinks - to go. Things went south from the get-go and the pizza only slightly atoned. First, they were out of most of the toppings we wanted. Secondly, they told us they were out of all salad dressings (except balsamic vinegar) until after we were charged for it. Then they refused to remove the salad from our order noting that they could not give refunds. Thankfully, the manager came over, hearing the dispute, and said, "we have two cases of ranch in the back" --- crisis averted. Finally, the pizza was ok. The pepperoni pizza tasted so overwhelmingly of cheese I could not taste pepperoni or sauce (and I am a huge cheese lover). The only saving grace was the chicken pesto pizza - it pretty much saved this place from just getting 1 star. Another plus to this place is the price and it seems like a good lunch stop or a place for a quick bite. There isn't much seating inside so plan accordingly. We know that they just opened up and are still working things out .....so....we will likely return in a few months and see if things have improved. Fingers crossed because we really want to like this place!
(3)Carlena C.
Never coming here again......you pay $8 for a small, basically no crust pizza, and the toppings couldn't have been skimpier. HUGE disappointment......
(1)James H.
It is just o.k. I really think this should be a $5 pizza if that. - The nice lady says they use the best ingredients - well I did not taste much. Just the sauce. I ordered the FREDO - so so really. I think the pizza is way over priced for what you get. The customer service was good. The atmosphere is nice - they do have one of those new coke machines - which is fun - but again over priced for a medium drink $2.25. I wish they had more options like Calzones or Hot Sandwiches. Here are my ratings: 1. Food - 2 stars 2. Size for the price - 1 star 3. Atmosphere - Nice and clean 4. Customer Service - good - we were the only customers in there - so not sure what it would be like when it gets busy. 5. Will I go back again - the only thing I may go back for is the build your own salad - but honestly I probably just go to subway down the way instead.......
(2)Valerie A.
Friendly people, yummy pizza! We went there for lunch on the first week and it was freezing because they couldn't get the ventilation system going and had the patio window open. Loved our food! They will make everything! Very quick, in and out!
(4)Keira M.
Ok. So, we enjoyed our pizza. It is really the kind of pizza place where you need to pick it up and eat at home. It has a "to go" atmosphere. The décor is cute and relevant, but it doesn't give you the feeling of wanting to stay and hang out. Plus, no beers with your pizza. The staff was attentive and tried hard to do it all right! They're rusty but I know they will figure it out. The pizza crust is AMAZING! I love cracker thin crust. It was perfect. Also, the size of the pizzas were a perfect individual serving. The prices were spot on. I ordered the #1 "Genovese" and my husband ordered the #8 "The Made One." I would have to say that although the ingredients were tasty, the sauces made our choices very rich. I think we will try the marinara sauce next time and build our own pizza because the crust is perfect and I like giving locally owned businesses my money. Try it out. You won't be disappointed.
(4)Alex R.
The pizza this place is serving up is wonderful! I'll admit, working near by I've seen plenty of restaurants come and go, this area just can't seem to hold it together when it comes to food. My expectations weren't super high, I assumed I'd go in there and get a mediocre pizza for $9 and mark it off my list. What I actually got was a good sized personal pizza with a drink for less than $9, served with a smile! They have three different crusts for you to choose from and all toppings are included in the price. The number one is amazing! Talk is they're building another location across from the Rust Center in Rio Rancho too!
(5)Garrett S.
Great pizza, I would consider myself a pizza conosure lol and the food was great! I had the #1 and loved it. The reason for the one star down was the service. They didn't seem to have a great system at getting the pizza to the customer, and were very scatter brained ( I would be too with 30-40 people in a small store). I will definetly try again but definetly take it to go.
(4)Rob S.
Line moves quickly. Service is very nice. I expected more out of the pizzas. They were not bad, I think I just had higher expectations than I should have. I would eat here again.
(4)Sydney L.
I came here with my boyfriend after my dad told me it was like where I work out in Texas. Let's just say, I missed Texas more after eating here. The food did not look very fresh. It looked like subway and I was a little unsure of how it would be. There wasn't any really unique topping except for the sauces. Which the tomato sauce was only okay. On my pizza, the crust was way to crunchy for me. I felt like I was eating pizza on a cracker. Though the pizza is quick, 4 slices for $7 is really uneasy. I also wasn't full after eating here and wanted to go somewhere else when we left. After spending 21 dollars for two pizzas and two large drinks, going somewhere else was out of the question. It would be really easy to make the pizzas a little bigger. In all honesty, I'm not sure how this place has three locations (that I know of) because it's nothing super special.
(2)Tania S.
I keep hearing that it's Subway for pizza. This may be only for the fact that you stand in line and have them put on ingredients while you stand there. To me that's great. I can choose all the toppings I want (at no extra charge), watch them do it, and get my pizza in LESS time than any other pizza joint besides the $5 pizza ready at little Cesar's. We were greeted RIGHT as we walked in which is great to be acknowledged instead of being just a number. I recommend them for a fast meal that taste good.
(4)Ana O.
Great pizza in a hurry. We stopped by WisePies on our way to Colorado and it was the perfect lunch bite. I like that you can choose your own crust. The regular crust is thin but they offer a thinner crust - I can't imagine that it could be much thinner than the standard. You can choose your own sauce and toppings or Build Your Own. They have many different choices in toppings such as roasted peppers or caramelized onions. The pizza is ready quickly - about 5-10 minutes. The crust was nice and crispy brown. They also offer a few salads and desserts -cookies and dessert pizzas. We tried the cinnamon apple dessert pizza and it was okay - the apples are not fresh cut but it was a good little treat. The restaurant was clean and the staff friendly. The first person at the assembly line explained the options very well. The place is very casual and located in a newly built retail shop center. Overall I thought WisePies was a great little place for a pizza fix.
(4)John M.
Wow, what can I say. Oh, I did one star.
(1)Derek T.
I came here with wife and our 3 kids. Let's just start by saying that it's not a place to bring the family. I can count the chairs that they have in this place. Luckily we came before the rush or we would have no where to sit besides outside. Still felt as we were outside though since the inside is open to the patio. Had to dine with Mosquitos the whole time. The pizza is pretty good with lots of choices from the dough to sauces. Salads are nothing special, not fresh already sitting in fridge pre made. Croutons were soggy because they are awkwardly refrigerated too. Paid over $40 for 3 personal pizzas, 1 salad and 2 drinks. Only plus about this place is the concept, the flavorful pizza and the freestyle soda machine. Not sure if we would go back anytime soon, too pricey. I can get 2 large pizzas and pitchers at Dions for the same price.
(3)Robert R.
Bad subway style pizzas. If you're expecting Il Vicino or scarpas you're going to be sorely disappointed. There is so much better pizza already in Albuquerque...Life's too short to eat bad pizza.
(1)Michelle P.
This place is awesone. Any pizza, the way i want it for $7. And the topping choices are not just the typical pizza chain choices. I have been here a few times and I am never disappointed. The staff is really young but usually nice and enthusiastic and helpful. Just wait a few minutes and you get made to order pizza. It looks small at first, but it's definitly good for one adult. Very good concept that I can see being a super hit.
(5)Michael R.
Good food, better than 3 stars, but I'm supremely annoyed with this place. Why the hell would you take pick up orders but not prepare the food until you get there!?!? This has happened twice to me now. And the access to the place is pretty lousy too. I don't know if I'll be back, honestly. I'm really irritated.
(3)Migsy O.
I am an accommodating person in my flesh life, perhaps overly accommodating. As in, I tolerate too much of other people's bullshit because I am extremely empathetic and tend to rationalize other people's unconscionable behavior and ethics for them. It is for this reason I believe that my inner bitch really comes out and overcompensates in my electronic life. Oftentimes I will write a review here on Yelp, then wake up in the morning to re-read it and think "God, what a bitch." Hit delete. I recently went through this song and dance with a review of WisePies. Yet I still feel compelled to share my experience. Basically, I found their pizza to be pretty tasty and acceptable for the price point. The service was fine, i.e., not exactly effusive, but not offensive either. What really gets my Hidden Bitch up in arms is the decor and ambience of this joint. Everything is too metallic, too stream-lined, too self-congratulatory of it's overly hyped-up theme. This is a locally owned restaurant, so why is the decor and vibe so fucking sterile? It almost seems as if they designed this place with specific intentions to franchise it in the future. One of the reasons I deplore chains is because of the sterile sameness they spread and promote. I appreciate locally-owned businesses not only for the generally vastly superior product they deliver, but for their uniqueness and distinctness, for their very idiosyncrasies! Do you remember the original Satellite Coffee with its crazy profusion of Japanese toys alongside higher-end barista equipment? Sure, they made no sense together, but damn was it awesome! I'm thinking of I Scream Ice Cream now, and Cervantes Lounge. How about El Patio or Tito and Mary's Cafe? These places are absolutely quirky and unique--can you imagine a blue-print for franchising? No you can't, and that's the point! So I am ultimately disappointed in WisePies because I feel that they are cultivating a supremely sterile and impersonal vibe and experience, one that could potentially be had in any city, anywhere. They are catering to people who want everything to be exactly the same, every time, with no exceptions. Fuck that, I say.
(3)Sandra G.
Eh I'm going to use one of my husband's favorite sayings and say that this place was mediocre at best. If you're in the mood for pizza and don't feel like waiting for it to be delivered or bake it yourself, then Wise Pies is the place to go. The whole idea of it is great and you can get any toppings you want for a reasonable price, however if you take the family and your husband doesn't get full on just one tiny pizza then you're probably better of going to another pizza joint. For a family of four we each got a pizza and drinks and my husband ordered a salad on the side we ended up paying close to 40.00. I think I'll probably keep baking my own pizza awhile just cause I'm cheap like that.
(3)Dancing T.
Coming from Chicago and craving pizza can be problematic when traveling cross country. I read the reviews on Yelp and have to agree, this is amazing pizza and so inexpensive too. The staff here were awesome.
(5)Al S.
Many have already said it - it's like Subway only for pizza. The positives are: 1. Friendly - helpful staff 2. Food tasted good 3. Very quick 4. One price (even if it's a tad high) makes ordering easy The negatives are: 1. Small, very little seating, crowded at meal times and often no place to sit 2. The tradeoff for a fast pizza is that it doesn't stay hot but for a few minutes 3. The cheese and sauce was just average 4. Parking can be a challenge and traffic in the area is horrible around rush hour I will go back. It may need to grow on me. But the concept is brilliant. I think many people will enjoy this place. It's just not the place I would suggest if you are a pizza expert.
(3)M T.
This place is terrible. The guy taking the orders was rude and talked down to another employee in front of customers. If you're so upset about having to tell every person about how it works, you should place a sign. The sauce and crust were horrible. They skimped on the toppings. 7.95 for a pizza sounds great, if they knew how to make pizza. I had so much crust left from my pizza because they were short on the toppings and cheese I wanted a Greek salad but all they had was Cesar. The Cesar. Was just romain lettuce and a little container of dressing. I also asked for some chile flakes and they handed me one packet. Is there a chile shortage? Worst pizza place in alb/rr. Dominoes might of even been better then this place. Save your money folks and go somewhere else.
(1)Justin K.
Sauce was ok, but toppings lack flavor. $8 is a little steep for a subway pizza that lacks flavor. You could get a hot and ready pizza from Little Caesars that taste better. Won't be back for this one.
(2)Juan C.
Really great pizza! Fast and super friendly service. Clean and very inviting. Definitely recommend coming here.
(5)Shydein S.
I was excited to try something new and a new place close by. Got to their new location and to my dismay I walk in and they say they're close. Even though their business hours say they have been open for 2 hours and the doors were open. If you can't stand by your business time, I don't have time for your business.
(1)Rich C.
Good pizza, made fast and to order with tasty ingredients. Only criticism would be the price for the amount of food you get.
(4)Jenn M.
Wise Pies is amazing! Went there today with my family and we all loved it! The pies are a perfect size for kids and adults. The toppings were delicious and fresh. We will be back and often! Thanks for a great experience!!!!
(5)Guy M.
Excellent place and the pies are in the just right size range! Less than 8 bucks for a personalized pizza with all of the freshest ingredients you wish...Awesome!
(5)Steve H.
Yummy thin-crust pie with a nice little price tag. My hubby and I stopped for a quick break while running errands and we wanted to be in, fed and out. Store was immaculate. Staff was very friendly and attentive.
(4)Funky T.
Wise Pies has just opened. We went last night and were impressed by the quality of the food and the well trained staff. You order at the counter and by the time you are at the cash register, your pizza is coming out of the 600 degree oven! The staff were all friendly, several asked if they could clear our tray, get us anything else and if we were enjoying dinner. A 9" pizza with whatever toppings you want is just $6.95! We had 2 thin crust pizzas and shared a Greek salad which was $3.95. We had plenty to eat and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. This is a small location, with a total of 3 tables, each of which seats 6 people. There is a counter on the wall that has 6 (I think) comfortable bar stools and we were informed there would be another counter added to provide additional seating. There are large roll-up type glass garage doors where additional seating will be available when the weather improves. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did!
(5)Lloyd C.
Nasty undercooked pizza, chesse and ingredients were not very tasty. No where to sit and they call themselves a family restuarant, maybe 4 tables total and a small bar that seats 4 at best. Anyone who eats the real pizza in ABQ like Giovannis, Marios, Dions, etc...will easily spot out this faux pizza joint.
(1)J R.
Very good pizza for the price. They're made-to-order brick oven style pizza. I say "style" because they go through a conveyor belt oven that cooks them in a few minute while you wait. One bit of advice. While they'll let you load your pizza up with as many toppings as you want, I wouldn't go nuts. I saw a couple people go overboard and their pizzas didn't cook all the way through.
(5)Tamara F.
Great concept to build your own personal pizza. Choice of crust, sauce and many toppings. Good pricing and always the same no matter how many toppings you choose. Not much seating.
(4)Becca P.
Excellent service, wonderful, different, delicious pizza. Magic coke machine, homemade chocolate, perfect patio. Have I convinced you yet? You won't be disappointed! Can't wait for the user location to open.
(5)Jeremy J.
Great Pizza, really loved the sauce and crust! You can taste the quality ingredients! Staff is still a little rough around the edges, feels like they are still trying to figure things out. They were nice enough, though they could use a few service tips from their sister restaurant Vernons to really take service to the next level. Beer would be great too, who doesn't want a good beer with their pizza! I will definetley be back!
(4)Kim I.
I had no idea that this place was a part of Vernon's and Prime. But it makes sense when you walk in and the manager speaks easily to each of us, asking if it is the first time there in a decent Chicagoan accent. If you are indeed new to the scene, he will gladly run through the protocol, pick your crust, pick your sauce, etc and then you take off down a line not unlike Subway. Three minutes after you pick your toppings you are eating. Great for a fast lunch!!!
(4)Derrick R.
Good personal style pizza joint for a reasonable price, locate off alameda.. Place is small and gets a bit crowded during lunch but well worth it.
(4)Jenn P.
Saw this place driving on a Sunday decided to stop in and give it a try. So glad we tried it. Fast and friendly service 6.95 any pizza great options of top quality toppings and sauces. I will definitely be going back...
