Topping the list is Richie's Pizza & Hot Dogs. Located at 844 E. Olive in the Tower District, the combination pizzeria and hot dog spot is the highest rated low-priced pizza joint in Fresno, boasting 4.5 stars out of 146 reviews on Yelp.
The chief selling point of Richie's is its true New York-style thin-crust pizza and generous portion sizes, but Yelpers call out its friendly service for special praise too. To top things off, the joint delivers -- for a small fee.

Last but not least, over in Roosevelt, you can check out Pizza Cycle, a combination bakery and pizzeria which has earned 4.5 stars out of 38 reviews on Yelp.
The family-owned business does artistic custom cakes on the side, but it is primarily a full-service pizzeria -- one that will, if asked, bake your pizza in a cute heart shape. You can snag a slice of either kind by heading over to 3598 E. Butler Ave.
