1. Grimaldi’s Pizzeria

Get NY pizza in TX.

8889 Gateway Blvd W | El Paso | grimaldispizzeria

We don’t need to explain why pizza is a good choice when you’re craving food late. Pizza is the late night food. But what sets this pizzeria apart is that they make their pies in a coal-fired brick-oven, a style that began with the opening of Grimaldi’s first location under the Brooklyn Bridge in 1990.

You can build your own pie, but we say nothing beats their Traditional. Their classic pizza is made with their “secret recipe” dough hand-tossed and made in house daily, their “secret recipe” tomato sauce, hand sliced mozzarella, and garnish of basil, then topped with their signature cheese and spice blend. They also serve calzones, as well as gluten-friendly and cauliflower crusts.

Grimaldi’s El Paso location is open until 9:00pm Sunday–Thursday and until 10:00pm Friday and Saturday.

“Fantastic pizza. When people ask where the best pizza place in town is, there is a short list with Grimaldi's sitting at the top. For pizza, we got a 16" traditional with pepperoni, mushroom, and extra cheese. Hard to go wrong there.” - Yelp Review

3. Texas Roadhouse

Cactus Blossom. Enough said.

5010 N Desert Blvd | El Paso | texasroadhouse.com

Although Texas Roadhouse is like any other chain in most ways, they have one thing other traditional American chains don’t have—the Cactus Blossom.

It’s great for sharing, and it’s the perfect thing to satisfy a late night craving.

Other menu offerings include hand-cut steaks, ribs, country dinners, and burgers.

The Big Ol' Brownie is another great shareable for dessert. This chocolate brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and a hot chocolate sauce will leave you perfectly satisfied with your decision to eat out late.
