El Paso’s pizza scene could soon have a familiar name popping up in Lubbock. The Pizza Joint, a well-known El Paso-based restaurant with a fun theme, is reportedly planning a Lubbock location, bringing excitement and plenty of curiosity to local pizza lovers.
What We Know So Far
The Pizza Joint originally opened in El Paso and built a strong following thanks to its oversized slices, casual atmosphere, and late-night appeal. Over the years, it has become a staple for locals looking for quick, filling pizza with personality.

Lubbock’s growing food scene and large student population make it a natural fit for a pizza-by-the-slice concept. The city has shown strong support for both local favorites and regional chains expanding into the area. A spot like The Pizza Joint could appeal to college students, late-night crowds, and anyone looking for a casual bite without the formality of a sit-down restaurant.

Their version of garlic knots, called “spliffs,” looks tantalizing, or you can indulge in their “joints,” which are like pizza rolls (have you picked up on the theme yet?). They also have wings, pizza by the slice, and whole pizzas, salads, and desserts. The El Paso restaurants offer gluten-free, vegan, and take-and-bake options as well!…
