What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network) featured Back Road Pizza in the episode "Who'Da Thunk It," which aired 2009-05-11 and centered on the pizzeria's wood-fired pies and casual, neighborhood atmosphere. Back Road Pizza operates from a strip storefront on Second Street in Santa Fe and describes itself on its own site as a local institution built on scratch cooking and a laid-back dine-in room. According to backroadpizza.com, the shop was closed Mondays and open Tuesday through Sunday, with online ordering routed through Toast as of 2026-09-08.
The same site listed Best of Santa Fe first-place pizza wins for nearly every year from 2012 through 2026, along with past write-ups from Pizza Today Magazine and USA Today's list of top Santa Fe restaurants. The shop's website also displays its two "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" appearances, one from the original 2009 visit and a later 2019 revisit.
