    A really great spot for locals in Chama. We enjoyed our meal from start to finish. Pizza was tasty and the place was clean!

    Fire pit and outdoor seating.

    Good food and a nice beer & wine menu. Awesome outdoor space and great service with no tipping (employees are paid a living wage.) The place to be in beautiful but sleepy Chama!

The table has a tray and some napkins, indicating a casual dining setting.

    You order your food and drinks at the bar and they bring the food out to you. No tabs, pay as you go. They do check on you to make sure everything is ok. Water and glasses are already on the table when you seat yourself. Cloth napkins and nice silverware in a tray are given to you when you place your order at the bar. Had their antipasto which included some dried strawberries like we had never had before, so good! Also, ordered one of the pizza's which we loved. We will eat here again!

    We stopped in for dinner while on a camping trip with the family. Since it was the off season for this tourist town, most of the restaurants were closed. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place. Everyone in my group found something they liked on the menu (which is rare) and they have a great, pet friendly, patio! I also liked that they add a standard surcharge to each ticket for the waitstaff instead of depending on customers gratuity. We will definitely return the next time we're in Chama!

    Welcoming staff, great decor and pretty darn good pizza. Did I mention that the oven is as big as a Volkswagen bug? It's all good stuff. A little pricey for a 14" pizza (plus 2 cans of Coke) for around $20. There's not too much happening on the food scene in Chama, so this is a really interesting addition. I hope they do well... xo

    Hamburger with fresh local beef and a delicious variety of roasted potatoes and some jalapeños!!!

    What an amazing restaurant in Chama!!! Gourmet pizza, incredible burgers made from local beef!!! And fine wine including several champagnes!!! The owner, Matt, came out to ask how our experience was! The setting is lovely...a totally relaxing experience! Can't wait to go back!!!

    Pizzas and beer! - The image shows two pizzas on white plates and two glasses of beer on a red outdoor table. One pizza has toppings including green peppers, mushrooms, and possibly chicken, while the other has pepperoni, mushrooms, and green peppers. The table also has a metal tray, a napkin, and utensils. The background includes a concrete barrier and some plants, indicating an outdoor dining area.

    Good easy dinner. Casual and pleasant place and deceit food. Liked that this was a "tip-included" place: more places should do that

    The flavor combinations were impeccable from the Palisades Peach flatbread to the Peach crumble, every course was no less than perfect.

    Pizanos pizza is always delicious and is the best thin crust pizza I have tasted. My favorite is…read morethe "Taoseno" that offers your choice of pepperoni or sausage and comes with a generous amount of New Mexico green chile as well. We have tried most everything on the menu and everything is very good but when we feel like pizza, we always go to Pizanos.

    This review is when we went as a group on October 4th, I'm a director for a car club and I…read morepersonally love pizanos, so I figured it would be a great place to stop for lunch going through Taos (roughly 30 people). So I gave the restaurant a heads up a week before hand and we agreed if they had available seating we were more than welcome to eat there. We showed up and were then yelled at by I'm presuming was the owner Charlie (I think that's his name) that there was too many of us and we couldn't put the tables together on the patio unless one person was paying for everyone (shocker they were dead when we walked in, so there's literally no reason they couldn't serve us, I guess he doesn't like money?). But they never refused us service, so we dined in for lunch, the food was great and the actual servers were awesome and did a fantastic job the entire time. Fast forward to the end of the meal, Charlie tried forcing a 20% gratuity on all the checks saying we were a group and thus it was mandatory but were forced to sit separate at normal tables thus have individual checks as if you were to dine in normally. When I asked him to remove it he started raising his voice at me telling me that they weren't staffed to serve us (again the staff did amazing, kitchen and front of the house so I don't see any problem there, no faith in his employees?) proceeded to raise his voice that we never should have showed up and given him our business. How do you not have the staff to serve only just your patio, that's all the room we took, on a Saturday lunch at that, if the restaurant got busy and filled up are you going to yell at every customer that walks in? Make that make sense from a management perspective. If this isn't true Taos culture I honestly don't know what is! Business owners hating business is just comical. I've been a long time fan of pizanos and have spent hundreds of dollars there. But I will not be returning and would much rather take our club, who does this 2-3 times a year to a resturant who actually appreciates business. Oh my favorite part is when I ordered food for the table he told me "that's a lot of food, you don't need all that food" I'm not sure if he thought it was just for me, or what but what kind of comment is that. And the cherry on top is that Charlie charged one of our tables the 20% gratuity, did not disclose it to them, did not show it on the receipt, mentioned nothing of it to them until after he ran their card. Over all just completely disappointing.
