I love going to the Pick Axe. Sometimes the order isn't quite right, but the food is still good, the service is good, and the ambiance is great. Might not be for everyone, but I've always enjoyed eating there. read more

I have never ordered Hawaiian pizza with raw onions & pineapples. Very disappointed however they put lots of cheese. read more

We go to Idaho Springs often. Since it was so hot in the Denver metro, we escaped to Idaho Springs yesterday (Sunday). The place was packed. All the good restaurants had lines outside, so we decided to try this place. Bad idea. Service was spotty and the food was not good. My friend had a slice and said it was okay (just cheese - boring). I had a mushroom swiss burger. The patty was awful. I ended up eating half the bun with the swiss and mushrooms. We'll wait in line for a better place next time read more

We're locals. We always order Dank Sticks (we ask for extra garlic oil), and the pizza. Our orders always arrive at our table super hot. Really nice staff! The pizza cook actually came out to ask us for our honest opinion of dinner and was just lovely to chat with. This summer we brought family visiting from out of state to Pick Axe for dinner. They said it's the best pizza they've eaten. read more

I got the battered cod filet dinner ($15). Food came out in about 20 minutes, and it was a good portion of cod and fries. The fries were quite good as they were hot and seasoned and the cod had a good breading and tasted great. Staff was very friendly. Inside was very chill and you can pay to queue what music is playing. Staff were very friendly here. There was an additional 2% credit card service charge. Overall a very solid option for food and at a great price! Food (50%): 7.0 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.0/10 read more

Pizza was great. Wood fired with thin, crispy crust. Would recommend the Conductor and Spicy Hawaiian.

Do NOT EAT THERE. We ordered chicken wings and they were still bleeding. Said they didn't charge us for them but I left paying 82 dollars for the 2 small pizzas 2 drinks and fried zucchini. Didn't get itemized receipt so don't know what I paid for. After we got our order all the employees went outside to smoke and bullshit. Don't waste your time or money there read more

High marks for friendly staff and quick turnaround on a late-night pickup order. The pizza was fine, but when you're talking about a wood-fired pie, "fine" is disappointing. My wife said it reminded her of a Totino's -- "In a good way" -- but there is no real good way for a restaurant pizza to be compared to frozen pizza. Wanted to love it because we generally love wood-fired pizza. read more

Very cool old building!! We had a supreme pizza and Cajun dry rub wings. Service was great, hostess and waitress (Saraw) both friendly. Fast service read more

This was one of my places to go till i found a fly in my salad . Fuck this place i'm not going there anymore

Oye... this place had quite a few hiccups when visiting for a weekday lunch. For starters, they have gluten free pizza crust on the menu but did not have any in stock. They said they were "unable to get some in," which is fine, just unfortunate. Next, my group ordered a few pizzas to go, but a few of us were hanging around to eat our meal in the restaurant and ordered food for dining in. Two out of five people in our party received food, and after 30 minutes, the server came to ask if we were ready for our check. We informed her that three of us had not even had any food brought out yet, and she then went to check on it. Turns out, the food we'd ordered to dine in had been put in takeout boxes with our pizzas and had been sitting for quite a while. We did still eat the food of course, but it was unfortunately soggy and lukewarm by the time we finally got it. Since there are other pizza joints in town, I'd probably skip this one. read more

Horrible food. Terrible service. Had two pizzas. Pasta. And a hamburger. Most of it was preheated. Terrible taste. My child vomited after the meal. No one even looked at us. No plates. No forks. We had to ask for everything. I wouldn't recommend going there. read more

Really nice location in a mountain town, super friendly staff. The thin crust pizza is pretty legit, prices are reasonable. read more

I found this place on Yelp of course! The whole set up is a bar slash restaurant type feel. We sat at the bar. Our serve which was the bartender was the most sweetest ever and so helpful. For our appetizer we got stuffed jalapeño peppers The breading was perfect and crisp and the pepper wasn't hot at all and filled w so much gooey cheese. The ranch we used was definitely house made and just so creamy. Then for our main dish we got two small specialty pizzas. One was a taco pizza and the other was the pesto chicken pizza. The taco pizzas had beans, ground beef, cheese, lettuce, black olives and this taco sauce. It was very freaking good minus the taco sauce. I definitely was not a fan of it but the rest of it was absolutely delicious and tasted just like a . The chicken pesto pizza was perfect. Like I've said in other reviews, I am a pesto lover. So anything pesto I just love. The pizza was cooked in a brick oven and the crust was perfect on both pizzas. Kind of close to a thin pizza but not super thin. If that makes any sense. Overall a delightful experience read more

We got sat down, ordered, and then waited for our food without anyone checking in on us. When the hostess brought out our food, her hair was down and all over our food. Honestly gross and we lost our appetite. Not only this, but she forgot one of our orders. Disappointed, wouldn't recommend. read more

Waited for 2 hours and ordered 2 pizzas and then people came in after us and got their food before us and said they forgot to write it down and then only put 1 pizza for us and forgot our cheesy bread sticks and this lady was horrible at her job they need to hire better people read more

$25 Medium pizza. Ordered ground beef & mushroom. Worst I've had!!! Had about 9 little pieces of hamburger and about 8 pieces of mushrooms on a Medium pizza. Paper thin crust. Lacked flavor and substance. Stay away. read more

Enjoyed takeout in the past. Came recently for first dine-in. Enjoyed the evening, and service was very friendly, but the meal was way overpriced. Pizza was good and had decent quality toppings. Salad was sad. A few other items seemed rushed and could have been cooked a bit longer. Meh. read more

Service was great locals extremely friendly. Food was DELICIOUS highly recommended. Look forward to try the new location read more

Shut up shut up shut up. The fish is perfectly crispy, the fries are perfect, the wings are perfect... everything is crispy without being insanely oily. Everything on the menu is a gold mine. YOU MUST try this dive. SHELBY, in particular, is one of best hostesses I've ever met. Aaaahhhh! I can't exclaim enough about how amazing this place is. read more

Dare I say - Pick Axe Pizza is better than Beau Jo's! We've been to both restaurants a handful of times and find ourselves loving Pick Axe way more. The thinner crust is great, but what really makes it is the sauce! The sauce packs tons of flavor packed into every bite. Service is always super quick and they have about 10 beers on tap. read more

Pick Axe Pizza - large pizza - Pizza Near Me - Idaho Springs, Colorado

We came in for the first time during a busy Friday night. The host took a breath before greeting us, and was able to make a sincere friendly greeting. I complimented her on being able to keep a positive attitude, when many others would not have. I had just experienced the opposite experience, when checking in to the Nearby Indian hot springs. We ordered a pizza to go, and waited for approximately 20-30 minutes. The ambiance inside was nice. The vibe seemed enjoyable. A black neighborhood cat attempted to come inside. A dog sat by the bar. A child played a arcade video game. When the pizza came and we took it Togo, we ate slices on the walk back to the Indian Hot Springs. The pizza was good. read more

Love the pizza here and the servers/bartenders. If they have a mess up they always make it right. Shoutout to Travis for being awesome! read more

Great food, great service, amazing vibes. Super cute restaurant, all around awesome, highly recommend!

We always go to a different pizza restaurant in Idaho springs that's more well known. Today I wanted to try a restaurant that has coke products because the other one has Pepsi which is not my favorite. This place is great! The cheese bread was awesome and their marinara is delicious. I couldn't even eat any of my Stromboli because I was already full. I'm looking forward to eating it later. The service was also super friendly and attentive. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. This place was shortstaffed which I can understand. Nobody gave us any wait time estimates. We did let them know we have to leave at 4. Everything was fine up until we noticed they started messing up everyone's orders. Constantly coming back to us to ask what we ordered. Still didn't get it right. Left without everything we ordered. The waitress asked us if we are "separate" we agreed and she still charged us all together and refused to fix it. She then blamed us and said she meant that if we were separate from the other table. She never specified that it's pretty obvious to assume separate means individual and not by the physical tables in a restaurant. She got rude and started complaining how other tables didn't tip. She was not trying to help us and she told us to never come back. Which we won't. We are a big group and brought them service on a slow day... definitely won't go again and won't recommend it to any of the other groups we know that will be in the area this week. read more

We stopped here on our way home from a mountain trip and I'm so glad we did!!!! The service was fantastic. We sat outside and Kristen (our waitress) was excellent and very friendly. She took our exact order without even writing anything down. The food came out in less than 20 mins. I got the White Margarita pizza with my own add one and it was SO GOOD. If you're a fan of spicy sauces, ask for the jalapeño Mayo sauce to put on top. 5/5 recommend and will be coming here again! read more

Been a customer since they were across the street in a place the fraction of the size of their new corner spot. Bruce is a wonderful owner, kind and accepting all walks of life. It kills me that so many people talk harshly when they get a temporary server as their waiter/waitress. I get it, a small mountain town has turnover at most of their locations but Pick Axe has become a staple to my family and visitors for well over 5 years. We are elated they survived the town's big remodel in 2018-2019 and still love coming to visit even though we don't live locally anymore. The food is phenomenal, especially when Bruce is in the house! I highly recommend this joint! read more

The only reasons I am leaving this review are, 1, me and my family were starving after going white water rafting. And we were sitting, waiting for our food for around 45 minutes. And 2, as the food was excellent, but my fries were overcooked and blackened. They forgot to put the bun on my cheeseburger while the waitress stood at the end of the bar and ate with her fingers and handed me the burger bun they forgot! Not to mention she was chewing her food while asking me if I needed anything else! No hands were washed while dealing publicly handling our food and others? read more

Dank sticks are out of this world! Great ambience in a historic building! Servers and locals were a lot of fun!

We ran into this place while driving from Los Angeles California to Denver. It was a good place to stop for some pizza. I ended having the calzone. I got the build your own. Sausage, pepperoni and jalapeños were my toppings. Cheese sticks were amazing too. The service was great and they were very friendly. @raulvsfood. read more

Love checking out new places! Open just 2.5 months, this pizza place is housed in the two oldest buildings in Idaho Springs. The fixtures, piano and many other items have been updated and used throughout. We stopped in for a drink to warm up and ended up ordering the cheesy breadsticks with garlic and bacon and a White Margherita pizza. The breadsticks were cheesy, gooey and so freakin delicious! The pizza is hand tossed thin crust with fresh toppings, also very tasty. They have two columns of pizzas on the menu, in addition to burgers, sandwiches and salads. There's a full bar and good beers on tap, though there were a few blown kegs on our visit. Meh, it happens. Oh and Kristen, our bartender/server, was super attentive and very knowledgeable. Hope to check back in next time we're in town! read more

Our server Travis was amazing. So friendly and willing to answer any of the 50+ questions I am sure we asked him! He is definitely an asset! Food was great also, love the variety of the menu. Lots to choose from. 10 out of 10, will eat here again! read more

Worst service in Idaho Springs. Food is average. Blonde waitress is incredibly rude and was gossiping about us to other staff. 1 out of 5 stars. read more

Definitely where the locals go, which is great and .... not. We made a little staycation to Idaho Springs and made a point of eating at places we normally don't when passing through or up there with friends. It was overall... fine. Service to get seated was meh. The bartender (We managed to get spots at the bar) was cool and friendly. The food left a bit to be desired and skip the breadstick things. Dry as a bone and not tasty. The pizza was fine. read more
