The Pizza Joint Brings El Paso Roots To Lubbock With The Stash, Pepperoni And Sausage Under Ricotta Piped Fresh - 93.1 KISS FM

The Pizza Joint started in El Paso and is a Texas-based mini-chain, now with a location on Milwaukee Ave in Lubbock. Folks in Lubbock have plenty of pizza options, but this one comes with a specific dish getting singled out as a standout, not just the restaurant as a whole.

The Stash layers pepperoni and Italian sausage into the bake itself, then finishes with ricotta piped fresh rather than baked in from the start. That order matters. It changes the texture and keeps the cheese from turning into a uniform melted layer like a standard pie.

For neighbors near south Lubbock, this means another pizza option that isn't a national chain and isn't a Lubbock original either. It adds variety to a stretch of Milwaukee Ave already crowded with food options. A restaurant with no ties to Lubbock managed to convert someone who says they usually skip pizza in favor of just about anything else.
