Lastly, I'm sure someone back there made that citrus crema from scratch and I basically licked that little ramekin clean! Thank you, thank you! A stop anyone in Junction will not regret!

Service was sparse. I sat at the bar. Sat there 6-8 minutes before the blonde person at the bar said hi. I had to wait another couple of minutes since she was talking to a guy behind the bar and a couple other people sitting at the bar. It sounded like friends, not customers. Eventually, another bartender came on named Bailey. She was service oriented and took my order. She knew I was ready and I think she understood. I was waiting a good 15 minutes before she got on the clock. It's funny how things work out. Bailey took my order of two hotdog, mustard and onions, and almost immediately the blonde bartender, I think her name is Taryn put dirty plates right in front of me. The dirty plates sat there a few minutes and when Bailey brought the dogs out she took away the plates for my request and apologized. When I asked Bailey for the bill, I was surprised to find a charges of $.50 for mustard and $1.00 for onions. I truly love a good hot dog and these were pretty good. I wish they were grilled, but I came to found out this establishment steams their dogs and they are a grill less & greaseless. Very green and I respect that. But a dog deserves a grill. I give Bailey five stars for service. The other person named Tyron, one star.

However, the inside was gorgeous with tall windows and nice decor. You walk into the Maverick hotel and go the 4th floor to get there. 3 out of the 4 of us in our group ordered the Shakshuka, which was flavorful and delicious to soak the sourdough into. I recommend over easy or over medium for your eggs on this. Served with feta and sliced avocado on top. We also got the avocado toast with smoked salmon and were pleasantly surprised to see that it came with entire filet of salmon for only an extra $6. We were expecting a few slices of salmon, but this was great! The fresh toast was ordered for the table. I found it to be a 7/10. Loved the peach inside, but was underwhelmed overall. If you're a group of 4 maybe consider getting the fresh press coffee, which our server recommended we do. Perfect serving size for us, but if your group drinks a lot of coffee just get the drip.

This was a small breast with wing. It was not enough to split. The broccolini was cooked well and was tasty. While the food was presented well and was as described in the descriptions, I felt the portion sizes were small for the main dish and the money charged. This was an okay meal for me.

The menu has a fair amount of interesting options but knowing what I know now they probably sound more interesting than they taste. We grabbed the tuna melt & the turkey/hummus/avocado wrap. The former was, again, okay. I'm not entirely sure there was cheese on it and if there were it certainly wasn't giving "melt". The tuna itself I was happy to find there wasn't too much mayo, maybe the best part of the sandwich. And the filling was plentiful with a nicely toasted bread. The wrap felt like something I could've gotten in a rest stop for half the price and would not order again. We also grabbed potato salad which I would not advise doing again. The prices for the sandwiches are fine, but the prices for the drinks are astronomical. We ordered maybe ten minutes in advance and it was ready by the time we got there, which was nice because it seemed that the lunch rush had started and the one person behind the counter seemed a bit stressed by the influx of customers.

This is literally the best pizza EVER! The people are so nice and friendly. The crust is the best crust ever. They also have wonderful homemade ranch to go with your pizza (for free). The prices are great and any pizza you want you can also get in a calzone form. All of the ingredients are fresh and wonderful. My family and I sat at the bar and they made our pizza fresh right in front of us. Sadly I don't live in Colorado but if I did I would eat this everyday because it is great. I would definitely drive to Colorado for this wonderful pizza. And would even move to Colorado so I could eat it daily. Please eat this restaurant because it is great. If it had a trillion stars that is what I would give it. read more

First off, the pizza is great! They source all their produce from local farmers which is so cool! That means when there are these nationwide recalls for salmonella or whatever, they are never hit. The antipasta salad is a great appetizer and I also really love their garlic cheese bread. The owners are sweet and super helpful and you can tell all the staff work super hard. Definitely check this place out. read more

Pizza Rock in Las Vegas, and Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix, which are good, without question, but his place, "Smokin' Oak wood-fired pizza" in my opinion is better.

Two "half" salads, the "chopped blue cheese" and the Caesar, which could have used a little more dressing. The Pizzas were the "Applewood" and the "Classic", excellent, would definitely order these again.

I am a lover of all stinky foods such as onions, garlic, etc. So, I was expecting the pizza to taste super garlicky. However, much to my shock, we couldn't really smell nor taste much of garlic. When you call a pizza "Stinky Deluxe" it should stand up to its name and should hit you in the face with that amazing "stink" of garlic. In the end, we left with just a memory of a mediocre pizza. Perhaps we'll be back to try something else next time but likely not due to the unsatisfactory pizza we had.

We also had one of their round pizzas topped with pepperoni and Italian sausage. The Italian sausage was very good. It was - by far - the best thing we ate at Junc'n Square Pizza! The pepperoni was lifeless and bland. The crust was crisp in places and quite soggy in others. They went overboard with the cheese, which did not elevate the pie. All in all, this was a poorly executed American pie, not in any way an Italian pie. Maybe they were having an off day. Maybe they haven't quite settled into their new location. But, it felt like the staff hadn't really learned their way around the menu. If we hear glowing reviews in a few months, we might go back, but at present we're not inclined to repeat the experience.
