Me-n-Ed's Pizzeria

The overview

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.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Me-n-Ed's Pizzeria cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
