If you are looking for great pizza in Gulf Shores, look no further than Crico's Pizza & Subs! They offer specialty pizzas, salads, and subs.
Crico's Pizza & Subs
This Gulf Shores Pizza Restaurant is a few blocks from the beach and a favorite for locals and visitors.
Crico's offers dine-in, takeout, or pizza delivery, so you can enjoy one of the best freshly-made pizzas in town.
One thing to know if Crico's no longer has a lunch buffet.
Crico's pizza crust is a medium thickness. It is not so bready you don't taste the toppings, but it is not so thin that things fall off.
This local eatery has fantastic garlic bread. We suggest adding cheese to make it even more amazing.
All orders are individually prepared, so you will want to plan time to relax and enjoy the air conditioning or outside seating.
Our pizza didn't take long, which was impressive with the number of takeout orders they were filling.
Prior to our first visit, I was told by many other locals that Crico's was their favorite Gulf Shores Pizza Restaurant.
We brought my mother-in-law and sister-in-law with us to try it out, and they loved it. Being able to get a delicious meal that everyone enjoys is so nice.
