Nestled in the heart of Keystone, South Dakota, Cruizzers stands as a beacon for pizza lovers seeking more than just a quick bite. This local gem, located at 110B Winter St, offers a heartfelt nod to classic American flavors with a twist that only a dedicated, family-run kitchen can deliver. The 50's-themed atmosphere creates a warm, inviting space where every visit feels like coming home.
What truly sets Cruizzers apart is their masterful dough, crafted daily by Makayla, which forms the foundation of their revered pizzas. The standout, as echoed by locals and travelers alike, is the Spicy Ranchero pizza—a bold, well-balanced creation that marries robust spices with a creamy drizzle, providing a kick that lingers pleasantly without overpowering. Couple that with the beloved Hawaiian half, and you have a 16-inch canvas bursting with both sweet and savory notes. Every slice carries a perfect char and gooey cheese that speaks to both technique and passion.
Beyond pizza, Cruizzers’ menu offers small and large garlic cheese sticks that arrive perfectly crisp, making them a great starter or side to share. Their toasted subs—especially the Chicken Fajita and Road Hog—deliver hearty, flavorful layers layered generously with fresh vegetables, meats, and just the right amount of cheese, complemented by dipping sauces like Alfredo or Ranch that elevate each bite.
Patrons praise the genuine hospitality provided by the young couple who run the place, Alan and Makayla, whose service is as warm as their pies. Veterans and newcomers alike feel welcomed here, lending a sense of community rare in dining experiences. Whether you’re enjoying a pitch-perfect calzone, savoring a cold drink on the inviting balcony, or simply soaking in the friendly ambiance, Cruizzers offers a culinary escape that’s both familiar and uniquely satisfying.
In sum, Cruizzers isn’t just a pizza joint; it’s a celebration of flavor, craft, and kindness—qualities that make it one of the finest dining spots in the Black Hills and Rapid City area. If you find yourself near Mount Rushmore or exploring Keystone, stopping at Cruizzers is not just recommended; it’s essential.

All I have to say is wow! My family and I were hungry coming in after a long drive. The time was about 8:15 and most of the options in the immediate area we're closing soon, so we chose this place for a pizza. I wasn't expecting such an awesome pizza! I ordered the 16-in half Hawaiian half spicy ranchero. It was fully loaded on both halves the Hawaiian was good but the spicy ranchero was awesome! Walking up to the balcony to get the pizza you are introduced to a really inviting atmosphere, even though we never ate at the restaurant I'm certain it would be nice. Getting the pizza was easy with helpful and friendly employees making sure I had everything I needed before leaving.

Stopped by with my dad while I was visiting from Fort Worth. A good atmosphere, the owners are very kind, and the pizza is some of the best I’ve ever had! I can’t wait to come back!

Cruizzers is one of the best, if not the best pizza place in the Black Hills/Rapid City area. Service is amazing!! Food is consistently great. The cheese sticks and spicy ranchero are a favorite in our group. Worth stopping every time you are in Keystone or whenever you just want good pizza!

If you're ever in Keystone South Dakota near Mount Rushmore. Alan is a Army National Guard Officer. He supports our Veterans. I am also a Veteran. Makayla makes the dough and is very nice. The food is fantastic and the 50's atmosphere is so inviting. I love it. You have to stop by when you go down there. You will not be disappointed.

Road hog calzone, cheesy breadsticks, and personal pan pizza. All were awesome. Service, atmosphere, and food were top notch. This was the best pizza I've had in a very long time. A must go if you come to town.

Overall, a very decent experience. Just traveling through town and decided to try this place out. Our group ordered a pepperoni, chicken bacon ranch, cheesy garlic sticks and BBQ wings. All was very good. The only thing - it was so busy, staff had difficulty keeping up I think. So could have been a tad cleaner but I get it. We wiped off our own table before sitting down and it was so rainy it was just wet all over the floor. I didn’t take stars off for that because, like I said, I get it. They were swamped. I’d recommend this place as a unique experience.
