3 Dog-Friendly Pizza Places to Try in the Hudson Valley 🍕🐾
Hello, Hudson Valley pack! It’s your friends at Pawsitive Spots.
Is there anything better than a perfectly blistered pizza crust on a beautiful afternoon? Only one thing: enjoying that pizza with your furry best friend right by your side! Thanks to our state’s dog-friendly patio laws, we have some incredible options for al fresco dining.
Frank.Endog and our team have been sniffing out the best places to grab a slice, and we’ve rounded up three tail-waggingly good pizzerias in the Hudson Valley where your dog is treated like a VIP (Very Important Pup).
1. Lolita’s Pizza (Poughkeepsie)
Tucked away at 129 Washington Street, Lolita’s is a local favorite known for authentic Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizzas and a vibrant atmosphere.
- The Vibe: They feature a trendy ambiance with a shaded outdoor patio that is absolutely ideal for dining al fresco with your dog.
- Pawsitive Perk: It has incredibly easy access to the historic Walkway Over the Hudson. We highly recommend taking your pup for a scenic walk across the bridge to build up an appetite before settling in for a slice!
If you find yourself in the beautiful High Falls area, Ollie’s Pizza is a must-visit.
- The Vibe: They offer wonderful outdoor dining equipped with heat lamps, making it a cozy spot even when the evening gets a bit chilly.
- Pawsitive Perk: Friendly dogs are happily welcomed outside! Just a heads up from their team: barkers may be asked to leave to ensure a peaceful meal for everyone. The outdoor space is big enough to allow dogs to relax without a worry that someone can step on their tail. Also, remember that while they take indoor reservations for larger groups, outdoor dining is first-come, first-served.
Located right in the heart of Kingston at 243 Fair Street, Lola Pizza is a fantastic destination for Italian cravings.
- The Vibe: Don’t let a little rain or crisp weather stop your pizza party. Dogs are officially allowed on their heated and covered patio.
- Pawsitive Perk: Because the patio is covered and heated, they keep it open whole year round.It’s one of the most reliable spots for dog-friendly dining when the Hudson Valley weather decides to be unpredictable!
