I was born in the Bronx and later moved to New Jersey, so I know exactly what real pizza should taste like. After spending 22 years in Rock Hill, SC, I rarely found a pie that could stand up to true NY/NJ standards. Now that I'm retired and living in Bryan, TX, I've been on the hunt for anything close to authentic New York-style pizza. By pure luck, we stumbled into Champion Pizza at 2008 Texas Ave S, College Station, TX 77840 -- and what a find. Only afterward did we learn that the owner and founder runs several pizza shops in New York and brought that same craft down here to Texas. Suddenly it all made sense. The crust, the sauce, the fold... it's the real deal. It tasted like home. I absolutely love it, and I tip my hat to the team working there. We were genuinely fortunate to walk into the right place at the right time. So if you want the closes thing to NY style pizza, come to this place. read more

Shoutout to Champion Pizza for taking care of us hangry patrons after Napa Flats literally shut the door in our faces for their Super Bowl event. We tried the pineapple+ham, the meatlovers w/ jalapeño (I don't remember the name), the margherita, and the classic pepperoni. The square slices were SO much better than the regular ones, and the difference is in the crust. The square crust was crispy, while the regular crust was terribly soggy. We ate inside. The ambiance was very laid back, and the bathroom was pristine. If you have not tried out Champion Pizza yet, you are missing out! read more

Champion Pizza - Pizza Near Me - College Station, Texas

My go-to place for pizza! The pizza is delicious and affordable. I frequently go during lunch and get the Aggie Special: Two slices of pizza and a can of soda or water for just $10. The staff are friendly and the service is quick and efficient. Even on their busy days, I am in and out within 20 minutes. When I do stay to eat, there is comfortable seating with a half bench and chairs sit-up. Overall, I would definitely recommend Champion Pizza. read more

When I tell you this pizza is top tier, ITS TOP TIER! I'm a Philly native who has struggled to find proper pizza, garlic knots and hoagies/cheesesteaks! We finally tried Champion Pizza as we moved here in August and just didn't know! Thank god for social media! We had ours delivered and it was still perfection! The pizza was the best pizza I've had since leaving Philly 15+ years ago, if you can fold your slice like I do it's a proper NY slice! Run, to this pizza place, literally run! read more

Champion Pizza - PEPPERONI SLICE and GARLIC KNOT (3 PIECES) - Pizza Near Me - College Station, Texas

Based on great reviews, we gave it a try and ordered an 18in Pepperoni Pizza and Garlic Knots. It was a delicious pie, Brooklyn style is our favorite. Great sauce, crust and cupped pepperoni. Garlic Knots were definitely tasty as well. Equally great was the service. Wonderful people catering to our needs. Over the top service. Will order from them again soon. read more

Best pizza spot in town. Their New Haven style is great, good char, good flop, good prices.

Finally a really good pizza joint in BCS! It's authentic NY style pizza with great crust, just enough sauce and cheese, and great ingredients. The service is also really good and the people are friendly and helpful. They have $2 pepperoni and cheese slices on Tuesdays so that makes the deal even sweeter. Highly recommended! read more

Champion Pizza - Pepperoni slice, sausage with chorizo slice, ranch chicken square - Pizza Near Me - College Station, Texas

Excellent, love the pizza. Great NY style. We have tried plain cheese and supreme, both have been exceptional.

Decent pizza with a decent selection. Service was friendly and they heat everything up before boxing it for you. The garlic bread was good though. read more

Pizza by the slice and a truly NYC heritage. Was excited to try it. We got a standard NY style pepperoni pizza. If you can crush with the basics, you've got a good pizza. Unfortunately, they didn't crush it, but it is a decent pizza and an excellent value for the quantity and quality. We got a frickin ginormous 18" pizza, literally blanketed with nickel pepperoni for $23. That's a deal, my friends. My group found the sauce too sweet and too much pepperoni (yes there is such a thing) but the crust is nice. I also like that they have oregano and garlic to sprinkle along with the typical parm and red peppers. No liquor license yet, so no beer, limited soft drinks, no ice tea :( Hopefully the owners will tackle that situation soon. Yo, New Yorkers! This is Texas! We need ice tea (fresh made daily, sweet and unsweet), beer (preferably Shiner and other Texas brands), and Mexican Coke. Thank you for at least having Dr. Pepper. read more

Champion Pizza - Pizza by the slice - Pizza Near Me - College Station, Texas

If I had the money I would come here every day. The pizza is really good! They serve Brooklyn style pizzas which are a little different from anywhere else around here like Dominos. The crust is thin and tasty. The pizzas themselves are offered in a huge variety of options which you can peruse near the checkout desk. The slices are $5 and quite large. I would say 2 slices is plenty for an adult, and 1 slice per child. The guys running the place were very friendly. I'm sure we will be back -- just waiting on that paycheck, fellas! read more

Very welcoming employees. They have a large selection of pizza by the slice (thin crust), and you can order entire pizzas as well. We took a women's advice and ordered the Margherita. The crust is tasty, cooled to perfection, and the entire pie was great. Pretty basic interior, no soda fountain. All drinks are in the cooler. Currently 3/15/24 they have an Aggie special Tuesday- Thursday from 5 to 10pm for $10. you get two (big) specialty slices and a canned drink. I'll be back. read more

I had cravings of a New York style pizza while visiting college station and found this unique space. As you walk in you know they have been intentional about how clean and organize this place is and how welcoming the staff was to guests. We tried the large margherita pizza . The crust was crispy and the size was perfect. Although the cheese was a bit bland--easy fix with red peppers and black peppers--we paired it with a blasting cold, regular Dr. Pepper, and we were at ease. This is a quick, nice and delicious fast bite. Will definitely go back. read more

So good! We ordered the 18" supreme and 18" pepperoni with Italian sausage. The perfect ratio of ingredients, very fresh. We stuffed our faces and will definitely be back! read more

Holy schnikies this plans was fantaboulous!!! The nyc style pizza was probably the best I've ever had! The crust was thin and had a wafer thin crisp to it with glorious doughy goodness on top. The sauce is to die for. I tried the pepperoni, margarita, and bacon focaccia. The classic pepperoni was the best! The only let down was they don't have a drink service. Just a cooler of bottled beverages next to the register. read more

Champion Pizza - Omg! Amazing!! - Pizza Near Me - College Station, Texas

Amazing Pizza! The pepperoni pizza sauce was a little sweet, but the saltiness of the pepperoni complemented it exceptionally well. The Mac & Cheese Pizza was the best pizza I have ever had. The cheese sauce on it was great! The Margherita Pizza was the best Margherita Pizza I've ever had, with no bland dry spots but instead loads of flavor and basil. The Buffalo Chicken was my least favorite. Rather than fresh chicken, it seems to be chicken nugget meat chopped up and thrown on. Overall 4.3/5 rated pizza. The crunch on the crusts was terrific. Definitely coming back. read more

Pizza? And fast? By the slice? Yes, l'll take it! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of pizza offerings at this place. Who ever heard of "Blanca pizza"? I mean...maybe you have. But not me! I tried the meat lovers after changing my mind a couple of times and I was not disappointed. The crust on this pizza is super crunchy. No doughy, under-cooked crust here. Need pizza fast? I recommend it! read more

Love the crust! Sausage and chorizo is by far my favorite. Reasonable price for the size of slice.

The pizza was so good (I come from near NY so i know how hard it is to find good NY slices in Texas!) and the service was soo friendly!

The pizza had great flavor and at a great price! The staff was courteous and welcoming, which was great after a long day of driving.

My husband and I finally decided to visit Champion Pizza after hearing such good review from his hairdresser. We ordered Pepperoni, Chicken Chipotle, and today's special, which was Italian Sausage with Spinach. With a can of diet coke, a total came out to be around $20, which sounds pretty reasonable for three sizable slices of pizza. All of them were pretty good, but our favorite was the pepperoni pizza. The slice was filled with mini pepperoni slices which wasn't too salty and just flavorful enough. I think this place is definitely going to be our go-to pizza place whenever we're in town! read more

This place is the best! You can do pizza by the slice or the whole pizza. They have some yummy choices! Don't miss the chicken bacon ranch pizza or the Margherita pizza. The staff is great! They were so accommodating even when we inadvertently went in right before they closed. They have a great lunch special with 2 slices and a drink for $9.99. Don't mis this place!! Just a small eating area inside, but enough to grab your slice and eat there for a quick bite or pick up and take home to enjoy! read more

Champion Pizza - (From left to right, top to bottom) Sausage Chorizo, pepperoni, chicken, bacon, ranch, and Margherita. All delicious!! - Pizza Near Me - College Station, Texas

The sauce reminded me of campbells cream of tomato soup. The salad was reasonably good. not bad pizza, but there are better pies in town.

How about calling this company 'Loser Pizza'? One of the worst pizzas we've ever had:some chopped vegetables on a dry pita with a few drops of cheese there and there. Wow, pizza! Tasteless, leathery, dry. The cost? Daylight robbery. NEVER buy from them. read more

im not even joking i go here like twice a week this place is insane and quite possibly the best pizza i've ever tasted in my life. i've been a loyal fan and have introduced this place to as many friends as possible, and everyones always fallin in love with the same classic cheese and marg pizza slice. whoever's running this place and making the pizzas is doing it right. great service and great food with unbeatable prices. matter of fact i'm gonna order a 14 incher from them rn. truly one of college stations finest spots. thank you for your service. read more

First time to try champion pizza! Overall, definitely recommend!! I called and ordered a pepperoni pizza and they said 10-15 minutes which I was late and it still wasn't ready- then a pepperoni was burned haha so let's just say it took a while but I always extend lots of grace for new businesses so just try to do the same!! They are working out their kinks! We also tried the pesto margarita pizza and the bacon pineapple- those were the best!! I want to try more kinds!! I liked the crispy was of the crust on the button but it's still kind of soft on the side- the flavors were very good! This is only located in nyc and HERE!!! Try it out! It's tasty! Next time we will probably get a large one for us parents and a small slice for the kids haha cuz we have tons of pepperoni left and our kids thought the pepperoni was too spicy.... Anyways, go try it! It's a small place- used to be pita pit.... Not a ton of seating area but some tables outside too. Apparently they deliver also! Try this new pizza place! It's a good one! read more

Great NY Style pizza! The pizza has a crispy crust and the house made sauce is legit. The owners were on site and super nice. As a new business and the only Champion Pizza outside of NY state, they are knocking it out of the park. Carlos is the pizza maker and is from the Bronx so you getting the real thing!We all loved the Lasagna pizza and my favorite was the meat lovers! read more

Champion Pizza - Margherita Pizza, the #1 seller in NY. - Pizza Near Me - College Station, Texas

First time dinning, will visit again! Do Order: The Sausage Spinach Slice Talk about options! Veggie dominant, meat lovers, mac-n-cheese style, chicken forward, and Hawaiian inspired pizzas can satisfy any mood with ease!! Lickety-split service and fresh-made pies make this the best pizza in town. Every Aggie should have this NYC-pizza joint on their radar. The sausage and spinach style pizza was by far our favorite. It was one of three triangular pizza choices: also including pepperoni or cheese. The Garlic knots were a unique item we couldn't pass up, and thankfully we didn't. They're indeed tasty! The Classic Pepperoni was loaded with an abundance of miniature slices. This hefty portion had a setback, being that there was an excess of grease top-to-bottom. Although, a quick napkin dab was sufficient to sop up the glisten. The seating is limited and creates a narrow space between customers who are ordering and those who are eating. However the noise level was never a disruption to our lunch time conversation. Overall the menu -although tempting- was too large to explore in one sitting, so we shall be back! read more

If you like tough, chewy pizza, this is the place for you. The flavor is not bad, and to be fair, perhaps the texture would be improved were the pizza delivered hot and fresh. We ordered the square meat lover as delivery to the hotel, and it was about 15 minutes late, and this was likely of no fault on the part of Champion. It is hard to imagine that this delay would be responsible for such a significant change in the crust's consistency, however. The plain cheese was better, owing to a thinner crust. It may be that this pizza is meant for dine in only, but great Neapolitan style holds up better as take out, and I doubt it can all be hung on the delivery temperature. The salad was a bright spot. read more

My husband and I are visiting from California and I found Champion Pizza through Yelp. Based on the reviews, we decided to give it a shot, and it took only one bite for us to agree it was the best pizza we had ever had. My husband won't stop talking about how good it was! We both got pepperoni slices (a great size for the price); the crust had a perfectly crispy base with a thick, fluffy crust. On top of that, the owners are so genuine and friendly. 1000% recommend stopping by and treating yourself to a slice! read more
