    Happy with our food and server tonight. The food was good, and I am always delighted when a place has house ranch. House salad hit the spot along with a few slices of pizza. The only thing it was missing was croutons. They had pizza combinations that sounded really good. They have a cool outdoor area, which I imagine is a pretty fun place to have bands play while they open up the big garage-type doors. They have self-serve water, which is a nice idea. They were pretty busy, but it didn't take too long to be seated. It doesn't seem like there is much parking, but if you are staying at a nearby hotel, it is an easy little walk.

    Limited menu, pizza, soup, salad, chips, and guacamole. Food was really really good. Staff was friendly. Kind of reminds me of a ski chalet. Due to the limited menu it is not something I would seek out in the future, but I definitely recommend if you're in the area. The soup of the day was really flavorful

    Cloudcroft Brewing Company is a must stop in town. We were driving by and noticed the sign off the main road so we decided to give it a try. It's a large space and it looks like they have a small stage for live performances. They have plenty of beers to choose from so we shared a few flights and were able to try most of them. They have a few guest beers as well. What better to complement your beer than with a pizza, and theirs are great. After, we headed into the attached distillery for a post-dinner nightcap and really enjoyed the full experience.

    Love coming here for the pizza and beer!! We visit from las cruces almost every week. Services is always great and the food is always delicious! Nothing like having a slice of pizza in the mountains. It's always fun to walk around town after and shop. Great place for Friends and family. Some weekends they have bands playing, it's nice to sit and relax while listening to live music

    Place is classy modern mountain cabin interior. The servers are great & friendly. We ordered the Corey's Fav & Zita pizzas which were adequate for the four of us. We added a cup of soup & salad. The pizza had a thin crispy crust and flavorful. I complemented the pizza with their house brewed dark lager that was really good! Price was reasonable & low for a mountain resort. Parking was adequate.

    Stopped by on a Sunday just for noon, not too busy. Only had the beer, so take this review with a grain of barley! Plenty of indoor seating, some outdoor seating, and a bar area. Sat at the bar, and the bartender working was very nice. I got the flight of beer. They do add a 50 cent surcharge for a guest brews (which I found unusual). I got three house brews of orange blossom mead, train wreck IPA, orange peel IPA, and a guest brew PB pecan porter. Unfortunately, I did not like any of the house brews, which was surprising to me. However, the PB pecan porter was great. Overall, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, but the beer was not great. Didn't try any of the food, but was disappointed by their house brews. Really wanted to like this place!

    Chips and Salsa with Guacamole

    Came here for dinner while staying in the area. So glad we chose here! As a rootbeer connoisseur, I was so excited to see that they have house made rootbeer which was exceptional! We got the chips and salsa, I was thinking it was going to be the basic tomato salsa but I was surprised to find out that it wasn't. Salsa was great and guacamole was fresh. My wife got the beer flight and liked all of the Cloudcroft beers. I tried the mango hazy and although I'm not a fan of beer it was great!

    Another great experience at CBC! Only the second time here, but I'm always pleased with the beers And the pizza here For me anyways, the beer was cold and delicious. If I had more time, I would have had more. Thank you Hanna for taking care of us, despite all the musical chairs. You got me my beers and got our order out quickly. Chris Baker was excellent live entertainment for the evening. We sat in the big hall for a bit, Nd I thought his originals and covers were fantastic! CBC always invites great talent. We enjoyed the Greek, which had olives and artichokes and spinach on a pesto like sauces pizza. The Zia had chorizo tomato and cilantro (had a little bit of a kick). I live their dough. If I were to add a tip, is to see if they can add a hot honey pepperoni to the menu. It's easy and a fan favorite of most. Also, seeing that it is hatch Chile capital of the world, why not have a hatch and ham or green chile pepperoni or sausage option? Merry Christmas. See you next visit to Cloudcroft!

    One of the few places open to eat dinner on a Saturday night in November. We actually walked up the hill to this great place. There was an hour wait but many choices at the bar to check out while listening to live music. The salad is great sized and we shared it. The pizza is one size only and wood fired. Very flavorful pizza and spicy sauce or meats not sure. There looks like outdoor spaces in warmer weather would also be awesome. Love live music as well and brews and wine tasty!

    Nice rustic looking brewery. If it's the weekend make reservations! We had 1 1/2 hour wait. Most restaurants in area close early. Live music on Saturday. Large selection of beers with the Hazy IPA being our favorite. Hostess was not the best as managing open tables. Multiple times we had to point out to her the many open tables. Bar area is rather small and was very crowded. The house salad was very good. A definitely shareable portion. Our pizza came out a bit burned on 1/2 . It was just ok. The tomato sauce is sweet. Pizza is just 1size and pricing was affordable.

    Love coming to this place when in town. The pizzas taste amazing and have a perfect crust. They have a wide selection of beers and offer flights. They get busy but the service is still good.

    Went to the town of Cloudcroft after exploring White Sands National Park and the Space museum Hall of Fame in Alamogordo New Mexico. Cloudcroft is high altitude in the mountains at I think 9000 feet. (Kinda feels like Tahoe in California). This pizza restaurant was highly recommended by everyone encountered on our tours in Alamogordo. Wow! This restaurant has excellent staff who greeted and seated us upon our arrival. There are several craft beers on tap with flavors to please any beer drinker as well as hard ciders for those who like them. The pizza is thin crust (which isn't my liking), but oh.... the ones we ordered tasted excellent. You can build your own, or order their listed ones. We ordered the "Zia" and the "Greek" pizzas. Both tasted really good and paird well with the beers we ordered. Two pizzas are enough for four adults to share and not leave hungry. Oh, by the way, while it was in the high 90's in Alamogordo, it was in the high 40's in Cloudcroft. They are currently building an outside patio for fair weather dining. This place is worth a try if you find yourself in Cloudcroft.

    Beer to go? Cans? Growlers? Can I bring my own growler?

    They do sell beer cans and growlers to go. And unless it's changed you can definitely bring your own growler.

    Do they offer a gluten free crust?

    Yes it doesn't taste much different from the regular crust

    Is the patio pet-friendly?

    Nope they don't have any area where dogs are allowed. We asked! We ended up getting some pies to go because our fur baby was with us.

    This rating is for The Arcade Dungeon located next door to the Pizza Mill & Sub Factory…read more My family and I visited this arcade for the first time this evening. After we ate our yummy food order, we decided to play some games before heading home. It's summertime, why not? Well, as my husband and son enter, they are approached by the co-manager of the arcade to ask for quarters to play. He states that the games are to be handled with care. They are not to be "banged on." Ok. Noted. As I walk in with my 6 year old son, we begin playing TNMT, and I notice he is standing behind me, but he doesn't say anything, he just monitors us as we are the only two customers in the arcade. As we move to the pinball machines, we played one or two before we are approached at the Jurassic World machine. Our son was playing on that one while I finished up with one next to him. The level of excitement is drained from all of us as he states to my son, "you cannot hit the buttons so hard, you will break them." We stated, this was his first time playing these machines. "You still can't beat the buttons that loudly, you will break my machine." Umm. It's a pinball machine, aren't we supposed to play with the buttons on the side of the machine? I'm pretty sure all of these machines make this noise when a customer is playing them?? Like what? We clearly were not playing on them that hard people. It is not like we were punching the buttons, the glass, or attempting to break the machines or even yelling; we were having fun, or so we thought. Also, as an owner, if you don't want your collection to be used by customers, why open an arcade if the customers are expected to softly play your games? Like I don't even know what he means by that? Softly is petting a kitten, I mean That's what I think of when I need to play softly? Plus, inside the restaurant it states " the money that is spent in the arcade goes right back to the arcade for maintenance for the games." If you don't want "kids or anyone touching your machines, you need to establish an "age limit," and encourage parents to be with their children. Have them sign a waiver so that you can make things even more complicated for your customers that just want to play some cool games. BTW. You gave a great collection, but maybe you should consider storing them in a man cave or a garage if you want them to stay in prestige condition. Also, I'm sure being glued to your phone was the main reason why you approached us, we clearly bothered you by coming in the door. The look you gave me when I asked for $5 in quarters. Cringe. Also, attempting to sell a pinball machine for 3500.00, and having a sorry attitude towards your everyday customers is NOT GOOD BUSINESS. But, best of luck to you dude. Our entire family is very disappointed on how this arcade is managed. We will never feel welcomed to this arcade again.

    Man y'all need to control your temper when helping these customers, just bc it a big order you…read moredon't have to throw a big baby fit about it. It's part of your damn business. If the customer willing to make a big purchase for that amount pizza take it. Stop being lazy and make the pizza, that what y'all sign up for!!! And don't yell out at us saying " the owner don't give us shit" don't tell us that go tell your owner that and if it's that much of a problem go find another job.

I browsed some restaurants…read moreonline prior to our venture to Ruidoso and this was on our list of places to try thanks to the many raving reviews. The place was packed when we arrived, but gratefully time was on our side and we were able to be seated promptly without a wait. They have a walk up counter outside where you can place to-go orders. Just come back in 15 minutes after ordering (they won't call ya). Looks simple, divey and well loved and the crowds are the proof! We ordered jumbo pizzas and a couple of cheese slices for my 10-year old. The slices are huge, definitely only need 1 for a kiddo. We didn't know lol. Slices are giving New York, so fold in half and bite. If you have toddlers that typically eat 1 slice, I would even say order 1 slice to cut in half. Mom of 5 here ‍...you're welcome lol. Lemonade was fresh squeezed, sweetened, but naturally on the tart side. My kids weren't a fan, but I thought it was excellent! They don't know what's up. But if you have kids, maybe yours won't like it either lol. I enjoy Gingerale but usually don't get it because most brands contain high fructose corn syrup amongst other junk. I was unaware of the Boylan brand until today! Enjoyed it very much with our meal. Was light and refreshing. We'll look for it elsewhere now. I like gourmet pizza and my husband doesn't. This was a good middle. "Not too gourmet" he says. I say it's a step above the major chains. Thin crust and lighter without all the bloat to follow, but still a little greasy lol. Take that as you may! Highly recommend this stop for pizza lovers. We'd come back! Staff was attentive though the place was and seems constantly busy. When I hear cafe I don't think pizza, but now I just might lol. No complaints!

We tried a kale soup with sausage, it tasted healthy, if you know what I mean. The pizza also tasted healthy, despite being full of meats. I wonder if I misread the menu and this is a vegan place, or a health store. The place looks a little bit like a ski shop. Our waitress was nice but other random staff members were nicer. At some point, a podcast started playing and replaced the emo/skater playlist. This place is weird. I think this is a thin crust pizza town...
