Me-n-Ed's Pizzeria
Best Pizza Parlor in Fresno · CA
The Valley's hometown pizza parlor
Me-n-Ed's has been a Fresno pizza parlor institution since the late 1950s, famous for its thin, cracker-crisp crust cut into squares and loaded edge to edge. The Tower District parlor pours pitchers under stained-glass lamps in the classic old-school pizzeria style.
Grown from a single Fresno shop into a Central Valley favorite, Me-n-Ed's has kept generations of families coming back for the same crunchy-crust pizza that made its name.
