I go straight to the places that have earned my trust.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"658\">Let me start with this: I\u2019m a huge believer in Domino&#8217;s Pizza. During Halloween season, I\u2019ll order hundreds of pizzas, and they always deliver\u2014hot, fresh, and on time. They don\u2019t need my endorsement to sell pizzas, but loyalty is loyalty, and they\u2019ve earned mine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"740\">But when it comes to pickup, there\u2019s one spot that absolutely owns my heart.<\/p>\n<p>The Funky Little Pizza Haven on the Interstate In Lubbock<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"797\" data-end=\"1062\">My favorite \u201cwalk-in and grab it\u201d joint is Simple Simon&#8217;s Pizza &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kfmx.com\/tags\/lubbock\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lubbock<\/a>, located right next to Harbor Freight Tools. It\u2019s a quirky, personality-packed shop run by an ex-Marine, and you can feel that energy the moment you walk in.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1296\">The walls are lined with action figures. A retro TV usually has something fun playing. It\u2019s technically a franchise, but it feels like something between a clubhouse and a hometown diner\u2014completely unique, unapologetically authentic.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1630\">And after an extended hospital stay, I finally worked up the nerve to try a couple of slices last Saturday. It was heaven. I\u2019ve eaten a lot of pizza in my life\u2014trust me, a lot\u2014and that Supreme may have been the best I\u2019ve ever wrapped my lips around. I usually stick to pepperoni or sausage, but this upgrade? Total game changer.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1630\">Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kfmx.com\/lubbock-chicken-restaurants-2\/?utm_source=tsmclip&amp;utm_medium=referral\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Rise Of Chicken Restaurants In Lubbock: What To Expect<\/a>\u00a0|<\/p>\n<p>More Than Pizza: It\u2019s a Crew Favorite<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1678\" data-end=\"1886\">Friends of mine swear by their calzones. The dining area has plenty of room, and they offer delivery and carryout as well. But the thing that sets this place apart isn\u2019t the food or the d\u00e9cor\u2014it\u2019s the people.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1888\" data-end=\"2044\">They\u2019re what we call \u201cthe real ones.\u201d<br data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"1932\"\/> Good-hearted, hard-working employees serving great food in a part of town that deserves all the love it can get.<\/p>\n<p>Lubbock\u2019s Best Appetizers: Must-Try Starters at Local Restaurants<\/p>\n<p>Discover some of the best appetizers in Lubbock, from shareable starters and classic favorites to unique dishes locals love to order.
