Where to Get the Best Pizza in High Point?

The best pizza in High Point is defined by a commitment to fresh dough made daily and high-quality cheese blends. In our testing, establishments like Blue Rock and Lubrano's consistently outranked chains by prioritizing stone-fired cooking methods that create the perfect char-to-chew ratio.

Blue Rock Pizza and Tap
We were blown away by the "Rock Star" pizza. The crust had that elusive snap, and the toppings were incredibly fresh. It is the perfect spot for a Friday night out.

Lubrano's Italian Restaurant
If you want traditional flavor, this is it. In our experience, their marinara sauce has a depth of flavor that takes hours to develop. It feels like Sunday dinner at nonna's house.

Sir Pizza of High Point
This is a local cult favorite. We found that their square-cut slices and crumbled pepperoni loaded under the cheese offer a texture you just can't get anywhere else.

How to Make the Best Pizza at Home

I used to think my backyard pizzas were good, until I realized I was just melting cheese on dough using a standard grate instead of actually searing the crust. The difference between a soggy bottom and a pizzeria crunch is all about heat management and surface area.

You do not need an industrial oven to get that restaurant-quality result. You can achieve the perfect crust at home using the right equipment.

The "Searing" Technique

This is where the Arteflame Grill excels. Unlike traditional grated grills that lose heat, the solid carbon steel cooktop retains thermal energy for a consistent bake. Here is why it works:

  1. 1,000°F Sear Capability: The center of the Arteflame reaches over 1,000°F. We found this intense heat mimics a professional pizza oven, blistering the crust instantly to lock in flavor.
  2. Grill All Food at Once: You are not limited to just the pie. You can sauté peppers, onions, and mushrooms on the flat cooktop while the pizza bakes, ensuring every topping is perfectly cooked.
  3. Social Grilling: The fire is the center of attention, allowing you to cook and entertain simultaneously without turning your back on your guests.

Pro Tip: If you are planning a big party and are short on prep time, you can visit the High Point Costco nearby. Buying fresh pizzas from Costco provides a solid base. However, we recommend taking them home and finishing them on the Arteflame Pizza Oven attachment. This crisps up the crust and adds a wood-fired smoky flavor that transforms a store-bought pie into a gourmet experience.

Why We Call It The "Social Grill"

An Arteflame grill is not just for cooking, it changes how you host. Its round design invites friends to stand around the fire rather than waiting on the patio while you cook alone against a wall. We have found that the grill becomes the campfire—a gathering place where everyone watches the pizza bubble and brown, turning meal prep into the main event of the evening.

Don't take our word for it; Arteflame has been featured in countless publications with raving reviews.
