The manager is the worst person on the planet, every time we go there he is yelling and insulting employees, in the off season the cool other guy takes over and it is delicious. That guy needs to move on, it is common knowledge he stinks and it leaks into the food. What an embarrassment. The ambiance is mop bucket at best. read more

Crazy Elk - mentally ill manager - Pizza Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

We were looking for a quick bite when we first arrive in Telluride Mountain Village. The pizza was so good!!! You walk in and order at the window and find your own seat. They give you and number and bring out your pizza. The little bar area was cute too. Pizza was really good. Crust was perfect and crispy. We had pepperoni, mushroom and red onions. Perfect amount of each topping. I also love how the pepperoni wasn't greasy. Definitely popping back in when we come back! read more

Great place for great pizza and salads, along with reasonable drink prices. The staff are friendly, service is quick. They have two of the most beat up foosball tables known to mankind, I mean the goalie doesn't even have legs on one of the tables, but it is what it is when the foosball at Tracks a few steps away is $1/game. My family always visits here a few nights of our annual Telluride trip when we're looking to keep the food costs down. read more

We had a great experience! Fernando took care of us at the bar last Friday, and everything was excellent. The pizza was delicious, the beers were ice cold, and the service was outstanding. He made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. I highly recommend stopping by for a pizza and a cold beer. If you're lucky enough to have Fernando as your bartender, you're in for an even better experience. We'll definitely be back for another round of beers and to catch a World Cup match! Btw, I miss the breakfasts, they were delicious! read more

Came here for a quick drink and a slice of pizza on Thanksgiving. You order at the counter and the make your drinks at the bar. I will say everyone seems fairly grumpy that worked there but I can't blame them as it was a holiday and fairly slow. The pizza was perfect to hold us over until dinner. By the time we finished up our pizza it was crazy crowded. Over 30 people had randomly walked in. I appreciate the fact that they were open on the holiday. Plenty of seating for large groups and a few games you can play. Also love the notes to the women in the bathrooms. Glad to see safety is still a priority. Overall, 4/5 stars! read more

I had a great experience at Crazy Elk. The food was delicious and everything was fresh and well prepared. Fernando took care of us and provided excellent service. He was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. I definitely recommend Crazy Elk and will be coming back! read more

So this place was not recommended by the front desk staff at our hotel. We should've listened. Yeah you walk up to order and they bring food to the table. The food is average in taste, the slice of pizza was large I'll give them that. The manager took our order: slice of pizza, garlic bread, apple salad and a coke. He asked if I wanted a soda from the fountain or fridge and I told him the fountain. My wife picked up our table number and went to our table while I paid. I asked him for my cup and he said my wife took it. I went to our table and she said she didn't get one. I went back to get one and the manager seemed offended and said I told him I wanted a drink from the fridge and that is what he charged me for. I said I was sorry if he miss understood me but I wanted a fountain drink. He then gave me two glasses and I said I only needed one. He again seemed upset and said now I have a cup for my wife because I asked for one for her? I got my drink and sat down to eat. They brought out my wife's salad and shortly afterwards a plate of cheese bread sticks, which is not what we ordered. My wife went up to explain the situation and the manager said she got what she told him she wanted? But they did make the bread knots for her . At no time did they say sorry for miss communication or take any responsibility for issues. We're from out of state visiting Telluride and would not recommend wasting your money here. There are plenty of other options and great service providers for food in the area. read more

After spending a ridiculous amount of money on new ski boots and custom liners, I wanted a low key dinner option that was better than fast casual, but didn't break the bank. We stopped in to Crazy Elk around 7 and snagged a few seats at the bar. Their drink prices (draft and bottled beer, canned wine, cocktails) were very reasonable and the service was great. We made our own pizza and included both the unique meats (elk pepperoni and wagyu sausage). The pizza was decent - it wasn't the best pizza I've ever had, but I definitely didn't regret ordering it. (It beat the pants off the flatbread at Timber Room.) We also ordered one of their salads and I was pretty impressed with the combination of ingredients and flavor of the dressing. I also loved that they drizzled the dressing and then gave an extra side of it instead of soaking it in dressing. The vibe here is definitely a dive bar feel, which was much appreciated after a long day 3 days of skiing. This would be a good place to go with a group of friends when you're ready to shovel calories into your face after shredding gnar all day. It's a good bang for the buck, especially in a ski resort village. read more

Welcome back to Josh Eats Telluride! For lunch, I had Crazy Elk Pizza. The ambiance was good, and it has a free foosball table! The service was friendly, and the pizza was great! The cheesy bread was also good. Come back for more Josh Eats Telluride! read more

Great pizza! It especially hits the spot for after a hike. The pizza is nice and cheesy and in my opinion the best in telluride! They serve by the slice or you can order pizza whole. The service was great and fast. Salads are great and prices are very reasonable. There is outside and inside seating. I can't wait to be back. read more

Food is good, location looks a little dirty and used. however, the pizza was delicious. The kids loved it.

The Cheese pizza was sooooooo yummy and good. The staff is so nice,friendly, and helpful. The vibe is so cool and out of this world. We are here on vacation and this restaurant makes me want to come back here so many times read more

Crazy Elk - Me scarfing down my cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

Great choice if you're looking for a quick bit to eat in Mountain Village. Pizza sold by the slice and by the pies.

The pizza is pretty good. It's a solid choice, but nothing I'd not be able to live without. What I liked most was that they sell slices (1/4 of a large pizza--so big!) for $5 and it's one of the more reasonably-priced lunch options for kids that they'll actually eat. They had cheese slices, pepperoni, veggie, and combo when I was there. Lines can get long at lunchtime, but the location can't be beat with a view of the gondola and lift right out the back of the restaurant. Would return for an $18 large cheese or some $5 slices. In fact, we did. My kids had it for lunch and dinner. #cheapdates read more

Crazy Elk - $18. Slices are 1/4 of the whole pie for $5. Save $2 if you order a whole pie. - Pizza Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

Pizza was excellent. The Bbq chicken pizza was delicious. Staff was less than friendly.

We had a ski club party at Crazy Elks in Telluride this week and it was awesome!!! I had a group of 34 skiers and the General Manager (Jacob Linn) went way out of his way to accommodate both our eating and drinking needs, offering me multiple ideas to deal with the group and our budget. Our club ski trips always start with a Pizza Party after we arrive and in all seriousness, this was the best one I've been to! What you also really need to know was that we had a full assortment of pizzas and salads - and everyone agreed that these were excellent in every respect (I personally liked the Csrnovore). We all gave Jacob and his team a rousing round of applause at the end!! Speaking of his Team - Danny led the staff in getting our drinks, bringing out the food, cleaning away dishes throughout the meal (getting us clean plates while going up for seconds), etc. Again, this was my 4th ski trip I've led and by far the best pizza and service I've ever gotten. So thanks to Jacob, Danny, the staff and a shout out to Lisa Morgan who turned me in to this restaurant read more

Crazy Elk - Here's The Villagers Ski Club, well satisfied after eating at Crazy Elks! - Pizza Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

Really enjoyed the pizza and the quick service. Nice to have some good, casual options in this town!

Staying in Mountain Village, and wanted pizza to go. This was a great choice, although parking/pick up could be a challenge. Ordered large supreme & garden salad. Fed family of four happily. read more

Really delicious! This is an oldschool pizza place, so if that's your jam, you truly can't go wrong! Piping hot, fresh pizza, & fast/friendly service. We will definitely come back every time we are in Telluride! read more

The best part about this business is the counter service. Coming off the mountain, you can be fairly in and out of here pretty quick. The food is just blah. Especially the pizza. Can taste the cheap ingredients. Portnoy would give this pizza shop a sub 4.2 rating. The pizza is doughy! read more

The name of this place hooked me!!! Love Elk, (elk hunting) love pizza, and with the size of my family most people think we crazy. So this place seemed like a perfect fit for us! Food was decent had no complainants! Service was quick during late lunch hours. I'm not a high end consumer, and I like a place we're I can go grab my own refills at my convenience. Idk why but that's something I like. Pizzas were good and hot. The ranch was great, my kids love to dip their pizza in ranch. Hot pizza into cold ranch, they were in heaven! Not a overly complicated place, simple and to the point, we ate the most basic two pizzas ever, One Pepperoni and one cheese. The foosball table was great for entertaining kids. Not sure how they had the energy after walking and biking around Telluride and Mountain Village but they managed for some quick games before the food came out. Great place would eat again when in Telluride! Would recommend! read more

We popped in here for dinner right before they closed and after a long day of traveling and it hit the spot! They sell pizza by the slice all day, and when I say slice, I really mean like 2 slices. They're huge! I really enjoyed my piece of cheese pizza. I also ordered their mozzarella, tomato, and avocado salad and it was just what this momma needed! So fresh, large, and tasty. I had been craving a salad and this one had all of my favorite things. Believe it or not, my husband got it too and also really enjoyed it! The restaurant is large so would be great for groups, also great for take out if you want to bring tasty pizza back to your hotel/condo/house. They have great beers on tap, games, etc. It is great for kiddos and families! I'm sure we'll be back on future visits to Telluride! read more

I ordered a slice of pizza. Waited 15 minutes while multiple people who ordered after me got theirs. When I inquired just got a sullen look from the staff who slid a piece of pizza across the counter without saying a word. Poor service read more

We were craving some pizza at a no-frills place and this certainly did the trick. It's conveniently located in mountain village. Pizza is New York style and my friend from New York was happy. Pepperoni pizza on point. We got a whole pie but they have slices as well. No complaints service was friendly and I would definitely go back. read more

Fantastic pizza and crust. Great spot and location. Highly recommended. Friendly staff and great pricing!

Great huge slices and awesome brews to pair with, all in a casual, sports-bar-style open restaurant. Servers were very helpful and amicable. Definitely recommend!! read more

Very solid pepperoni pizza if you're looking for that in Mountain Village. Got a slice ($5) for lunch, and it was an extra large slice. Almost five stars just for being a good value in Tellruide. read more

The pizza is really good and this has to be some of the most reasonably priced mountain village (common noun) food I've encountered at a ski resort. 1000 calories, a larger ski lunch for me, cost less than $30. read more

Good pizza, huge slices and good customer service . Tables needed to be cleaner but overall go to place in the village for pizza! read more

Crazy Elk - a slice of cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

Basic Pizza , ordered by phone and picked up. Convenient if your staying in Mountain village .

Too complex to order. Come on this is the 21st century. We're hungry. We have money. We need pizza.

Decent quick and easy for a slice, salad or sandwich. Staff was really hustling to keep up with orders. Not the most amazing food but definitely decent for the price. read more

Called to make a takeout order for large plain pizza. Was told it was 32 dollars. I walked over and placed the same takeout order in person and was charged 20 dollars. Pretty bad when employee who answered the phone apparently never took time to learn the menu and pricing. Pizza was very average. I asked that the 8 cut pizza be cut into 16s because kids were eating it. I was told that it would be done. It wasn't. The place was not busy. The help just didn't seem to be engaged in what they were doing. I'll go into town for pizza next trip and avoid this place. read more

Super frustrated with this place. We were very excited to eat here and they were closing at 8pm so we Went in at 6:45pm. The owner said he wasn't taking any more orders for the night and they were closing. Lost a lot of money. With our summer home in the area it will be hard to recommend this place to our visitors. read more

Crazy Elk - an artificial putting green area - Pizza Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

Terrible customer service. I was not able to find the "entrance" door and was freezing my toes off, so I finally went in the "exit" door. Nobody in line and one table of people eating. The guy working there would not let me order a pizza to go unless I used the correct door. I then found out it was an unmarked service looking door outside to get around. Not easy to find. The same guy then makes me sign in (again nobody else was there), he opened the rope, then went around to the register to take my order. Despite that whole debacle the pizza was mediocre at best. Both my husband and I felt really sick the rest of the night after eating it... so we will not be returning. Good luck if you try this place. Set your customer service expectations low. read more

Great atmosphere and huge slice of pizza. Easy place to quickly walk in and grab a bite.

Good pizza at decent prices for the location. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Mountain Village (or struggling to find a place to eat in Telluride). Every pizza comes with a free gondola ride ;-) read more

This place was delicious. My friends first meal in telluride! I was very impressed with the pizza and service. They played good music, had twisted tea on tap and have a foosball table. Was extremely impressed with the pizza. Blowed my expectations off the charts! read more

Take out. Pizza was very good and the staff was very helpful and friendly. A great dinner answer after a day of skiing

As a family our score for this restaurant averaged around a 4. My step mom got a ceaser salad which she said had an excessive amount of pepper on it. My dad and I got one of the number ones, I think 33, which had prosciutto, roasted red peppers, pesto, and mozzarella cheese. My dad felt that there was too much bread and too much cheese, and I felt that there was too much cheese and that it was extremely salty. It was still good, but each bite I experienced an excessive amount of salt. My sister got a turkey bacon sandwich which she said was great, her only complaint was that she had asked for no tomato and no onion, and when the sand which came it had both on it. read more
