West University's Pieology Pizzeria, located at 914 E. Speedway Blvd., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the budget-friendly vegan and gluten-free spot, which offers pizza and more, four stars out of 58 reviews.
Customize your pizza Chipotle-style at this pizza spot by choosing a type of crust and sauce before adding cheese, meat and veggies. After your creation comes out of the oven, you may then top it with a drizzle of sauce before it's delivered to your table. Not sure if you're up to customizing? Grab one of its chef-inspired pies or opt for a signature salad.
