Backroad Pizza on Second Street in Santa Fe has been building a reputation around fresh-made dough, quality toppings, and the kind of creative pizza combinations that reflect the New Mexican culinary environment — green chile on pizza is not a novelty here, it is the obvious move. It appeared in Season 6, Episode 6 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Who’Da Thunk It?,” which aired May 11, 2009. Guy Fieri found a pizza kitchen doing things from scratch in a city better known for its Southwestern food traditions than its pizza scene. The fact that the episode title is “Who’Da Thunk It?” and Backroad Pizza is in Santa Fe captures the surprise factor that made the segment work.
