    Moonlight Pizza and I go way back to my first Salida Winter overnight in 2004. It's been a perennial stop, but until last week, I hadn't been in since the pre-Covid days. They opened in 1994. That's some staying power, esp in a mountain town. Salida has several great pizza spots, but Moonlight keeps on going. They must be doing something right. We had our emerging third graders on a long weekend in the area, which limits our choices to pizza, burgers, etc. Salida has both of these covered. Our first stop was Moonlight. The interior has more than doubled in size over time. It's now bright, spacious & artsy inside. Patio space abounds. Service was quick, friendly, and accommodating. Pizza remains their strong point. A light, airy crust teams with quality toppings and plenty of cheese to make it easy to eat more than you need. The red sauce's flavor, though, tasted canned (to me at least), which it's clearly not when giving it a visual inspection. YMMV. The rest of the pie carried the day, though. I wished I'd ordered a medium. Solidly good the next day, it was. Gotta say, their beer is mids, but better than standard macro taps for sure. If you're not a beer snob, forget I said that. You'll be stoked. Our only sticking point was from the boys: While the sodas are tasty, they don't pour a cola or a lemon-lime. The cream soda and root beer were abandoned by the kids, appreciated by the adults. Four star pizza. Three star beer. Four star stars overall. I'll be back again.

    So to start, the boyfriend's uncle loves Moonlight and we had traveled from CS to see him for the day and were still stuffed from lunch. But we wanted to grab a mocktail and spend more time together. No plans for food. Well, breadsticks, several mini pizzas and more happened. It was worth every bite and every calorie. Excellent service. From the moment we walked in, the staff was super great. And free stickers. I've now got Moonlight stickers on my Yeti bottles representing up in NY. The boy and I may also have t-shirts. It was that fun. Cannot wait to come back and really try the menu!

    We went here for dinner on a Friday night with a group of 10 and an infant and were surprisingly seated quickly. The live music was a great touch! On my end of the table, the breadsticks, a cheese pizza, the Venus, and make your own with pepperoni, pineapple, and green chilis were ordered. The pesto that came with the breadsticks were delicious and all the pizzas were really good! We were a little surprised at how little beers they had for being a brewery.

    Lunch here today in Salida was yummy. I had the Greek pizza, adding sausage, and my wife had the Venus pizza, adding pesto. Pizzas were delicious. We both ended up with a Mexican lager, and they were good too. Service was slow at the start, and a bit hit and miss overall, but we weren't in a huge hurry, so it was fine. Pizzas made it worth it.

    Came in for a quick bite and had a great experience. The cheese bread was delicious especially when paired with the marina sauce. The caesar salad was to die for. Service was great. The pizza was solid but nothing special in my opinion. Well decorated and good seating.

    Food was very delicious, would come again! By far the best restaurant I have had in this town. The food runner was very friendly and he was a delight. Their own version of a lemonade/ sprite is delicious! Very refreshing.

    Service from start to finish was beyond excellent, thanks Nick T! Homemade Root beer and Micro beers are full of flavor. One sip and you're hooked. We came during happy hour when beer is buy one get one free! That was $5 for 2 beers! That's unheard of. Our pizza was The Full Moon and I don't believe we've ever had toppings on a pizza this fresh! This place blows other pizza/micro brewery's out of the water. We travel constantly so this is a HUGE compliment. It was a beautiful April day so the garage door was open for a lovely breeze. Thank you for an enjoyable experience!

    Amazing pizza!!! Dog friendly patio and the staff is super kind, food delivered quickly, and super delicious. I loved the crust, also had friends in our party order chicken wings that looked amazing. Friend ordered a pumpkin beer and said it was really good and has a cinnamon sugar rim. We ordered the house root beer which was good

    Hot Mess, June's pizza of the month!
    John F.

    The "pizza of the month" was the Hot Mess! What an amazing combination of toppings! Steak, mushrooms, roasted garlic, jalapeños on a white sauce. The service is always great! You won't be disappointed. Worth the trip!

    Great Sandwich. Got the Philly   Sat down with my dog for a beer and the Philly. Great place lunch. No waiting great service.

    Stopped by for lunch on a hot Tuesday afternoon. Beer was cold and lots of variety. Had a Philly Sandwich which was great. Perfect service. Really nice people. Plenty of dog bowls and doggie water.

    Honey chili wings super small
    Tamara F.

    We stopped Moonlight while walking around Salida during a camping trip. Stopped for a beer and an appetizer. The wings were so small and disappointing we also asked for all flats when the runner brought the wings out all she said was "I don't know who didn't read the ticket but here you go it's half and half. Oh well". Great customer service, not!! May give them another try when we camp again sure hope this isn't normal for them. I'm addition, our server was not good at all. She walked by us several times with empty drinks then when we were ready to pay she kept walking by us the POS machine.

    Burnt and non tossed wings.
    Carl T.

    Extremely overrated. Poor attitude from staff. I've ate there atleast 10 times but all it takes is 2 bad experiences for this review. Last pizza I got was very bland and the wings I last bought were extremely dry and burnt. Unacceptable.

    Pizza is good, but a little pricey. The calzones are delicious, I wish there was a more traditional cheese calzone option.

If I can walk away without my anxiety being triggered or my allergies triggered, we have found a gem to return to. Driving from Colorado Springs through Salida, Co to the Sand Dunes, we decided to stop for a later lunch. We stopped by The Boathouse and was rather loud along with no four top outside. The host referred us to Pizza Rio and said they had outdoor seating and it's usually quieter. Heading up the stairs, customers coming down said it's worth it. The host showed us the tables outside and indeed was very quiet and had a beautiful view of the river. When we sat down, the heaters were still on but the server turned them off for us and opened the shade screen. My husband got the Greek salad with a slice of pepperoni pizza. My son got the vodka penne pasta, my mom got the meatball grinder and I got the Greek salad with arugula and spinach and the spaghetti and meatballs. Everything on the menu said it was made in house including the dressings. And WOW!!!! The flavor these dishes had was top notch Italian and dishes were decent/big sized. Cost wasn't as high as we thought, and the server was extremely accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone passing through. Great job to the cooks, amazing!!!
