Great NYC-Style Pizza! Street parking. Small but cool. I'd eat here again. Staff kind, Ambiance NYC pizzeria.

I have been eating Hell Fire Pizza for over eight years and I have to say right now it is the best it's ever been. Keep up the good work guys! read more

Ruffrano's Hell's Kitchen Pizza - Best damn pizza on the planet and yes, I lived in Brooklyn for ten years! - Pizza Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

The pizza is great for the price. I highly recommend the Mac and cheese pizza and the spicy knots.

In my trip to Colorado and stay in Colorado Springs, I was pleasantly surprised with the small town of Manitou Springs and finding Ruffrano's Hell Kitchen Pizza. The pizza was flavorful, sturdy, and well priced considering the amount of food received in their lunch special. The pizza has a nice flop but doesn't fall apart and keep the toppings in place. The garlic rolls/knots were tender and very flavorful and went nicely with the crisp salad. read more

The whole place needs a deep-clean and watching the kitchen staff fondle the food with no gloves was disconcerting. The pizza itself was pretty darn good, while the toppings were a bit skimpy, and I'd recommend giving the place a try. read more

I've tried several pizza places in Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City and Ruffrano's is simply the best! I've order a whole pie before and it's more than enough for 3 people. I've also picked up a few slices for take out for just 2 people and it's very convenient for those evenings I don't feel like cooking. My husband usually likes the spicy meat pizza and I'm good with a couple if pepperoni slices-- nothing fancy. When you get served pizza this dang good, you don't need it to be "fancy". Every time I get pizza here it's always fresh and it never disappoints. And the staff here is always on point and pretty friendly. I simply love this little pizza joint-- you really can't go wrong with Ruffrano's pizza. It's always super fresh and amazingly out of this world tasteful. I love the crust on their pizza because it's very thin and the perfect texture. It's not too dry, not too soft, not too flaky but simply perfect! If you haven't tried Ruffrano's-- it's a must if you're in the Manitou Springs neighborhood. It's a 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up for Ruffrano's Hells Pizza for me! read more

No complaints about this place. I was getting hungry but didn't want to ruin my dinner reservations so I stopped in for a slice of pizza. They had 4 pizza selections to choose from. I went with the basic grandpa style pizza. They put it in the oven to warm it up, and about 5 minutes later I was on my way. The pizza was good. I was in and out and the staff was pretty cool too. read more

Very rude employees! I asked if I could have the slice closest to me and she very rudely stated that she was to busy to give me the slice I requested. The issue I had and reason I said she was rude is because there were only two slices to choose from. She literally had to pull apart the two slices so she could have easily gave me the peice I requested and she chose not to. If it was more then two peices I would have totally understood, but either way when you work in a customer service industry you absolutely do not treat customers that way. If I owned that business I guarentee you she would no longer work there! I would not want my customers to be treated that way. The other issue I had is that she over charged me as you can see in the pictures. Food was OK. Service and professionalism was terrible! I will never tell people not to go but all I can say is I will never go back! read more

Super fast and delicious would definitely recommend anyone to come here !! Love the decor and the service was too notch!

We stopped here after a horrible experience at Babus Nepal Kitchen, don't let the untidy looks of the place scare you away. It's a real good pizza, they were super busy but the lady made sure we got our pizza. Hells fire pizza is damn good and wifey loved her veggie too. We highly recommend this place. read more

Maybe the best Pizza ever but the prices were high and seating was very limited. We stopped on the way to the hotel after Seven Falls. It was late in the day, but the Pizza (4 Cheese White Pizza and Grandpa's Pie) were excellent, and the Knots were very good as well. Great find and glad the Italian restaurant in town was closed forcing us to give it a try. read more

The workers have absolutely no personality. The customer service is garbage. I got stranded in the bathroom with no toilet paper and their lack of giving a crap (pun intended) was apparent. The pizza was meh and was clearly sitting under a heat lamp for too long. I would recommend any place except this place in Manitou Springs. read more

Super easy to order on the app! The pizza was absolutely delicious! My family loved it.

Stopped in after walking down from the cog. Ordered the special, 1 large slice of pepperoni pizza, 3 garlic knots and a drink for $6.66! Pizza was delicious as were the knots! Great little spot for a quick lunch. read more

Got here. There was a full house decent line. The line went really quick. I'm not sure if they sell full pizza's. But we got a couple of the specials. Fire knots were amazing. All the pizza's are thin crust that I saw. There is inside and outside seating for whatever you're looking for. (Only about 20 total seats though). read more

i didn't really like the pizza here. it was so thin that when u bite down, it's just crunch in there is no actual bread... it was just crunchy. & the bathroom definitely needs some remodeling & a lil deep cleaning. it's a little dark, dirty, there's a hole in the wall that i checked w my flashlight because u never know these days, & the sink is slowly coming off the wall. this pizza spot is also in shopping area in manitou where there are a lot of people walking their dogs & because this shop is an open kitchen, it's NOT DOG FRIENDLY. read more

A bit small, so not much sitting space if you get there the wrong time of day. Nevertheless, best NY style pizza in CO hands down!!

We stopped for lunch after visiting Pikes Peak & boy are we glad we did. I have Celiac disease & can confirm this is some of the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. This is the first time I've been able to have a softer, puffier crust in years. I also felt great afterwards. Great service, the owner was so friendly & even shared the name of the company that he orders the crust from with me. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Manitou Springs! read more

Might be hell's kitchen but it tastes like heavennn. Bordering on genius, these devils combined mac and cheese WITH pizza and it couldn't have turned out better. Definitely a must try!! read more

We liked it so much that we returned a few days later. The second visit was as good as the first, despite one man trying to run the shop by himself while his helper was making deliveries. The hellfire pizza was amazing! read more

They have definitely maximized the very small space they are in! It is tiny, and you will most likely want to take to-go. However, don't let that deter you from getting a slice of just fantastic pizza! It is incredible- the combinations and toppings that they think of to put on the pizza, and it is all yum yum good! Came here with co-workers and we all got something different and every single one of us loved it! read more

Not exactly sure what all the hype is, it's okay pizza and at okay prices. This location is pretty small so plan to take yours out. I ordered the veggie pizza and it wasn't amazing, but also not bad. Nothing remarkable here but if you're tired from your hike and want pizza, stop by! read more

Called in an out of state order for a local family member who was having a hard time. Jessa was so kind on the phone and even happily agreed to scribble a special note on the box from me. The delivery driver was SO kind and sweet that she called to tell me it made her day - Thank you Jessa and delivery fella! I really appreciate you going the extra mile for a basic delivery read more

I wish at there was a lower score1 take out: the calzone with pepperoni didn't contain any mozzarella, only ricotta. it was burnt to a crisp. I obviously didn't know this when I took the box. as I placed the box in my car a STREAM of oil flowed. it wrecked a pair of jeans, my car mats and splattered onto my upholstery. the slice of pizza that I ordered at the same time was undercooked, barely warm, and had far too much oregano on it. the cashier actually asked for a tip. I am a transplanted NYer shopping around and tasting pizza around the area. don't let the name "Hells Kitchen" fool you. these guys would be shot in Hells Kitchen NY. please do yourself a favor and stay away. read more

This was the second time that I have been to Ruffrano's, the first time I wasn't impressed, but the family and I had just gotten done with the penny arcade and were hungry, so we thought we would try some pizza. Turns out that the pizza at Ruffrano's just is not very good. I like the location and the people were friendly, but for the price of a slice of pizza at $4, I would expect it to be good and it wasn't. Also I did not like the knots either. I tried all three flavors and really didn't enjoy any of the three. I will probably go somewhere else when I am in Manitou to eat. read more

We love some Pikes Peak pizza from Hell's Kitchen! It's a little spicy and the large size is MASSIVE. I don't give 5 stars because I think prices are kind of high, and they do not have a vegan crust option (strange for this area IMO). I'm sure we will order again in the future though. read more

Great pizza! Slices are a bit expensive, but overall we enjoyed our lunch. Will definitely try it again.

Was blown away with the taste! Really loved how thin it was and the right amount of crispy! Open on Christmas Eve and saved us from starving at night lol read more

I had several local residents tell me that this place was not good, I, however, liked it very much! I ordered the incline calzone and it was delicious! The ricotta cheese in it was the perfect touch! So creamy! The rest of the table ordered slices they had already ready. They were just okay. The marinara was good for dipping purposes. I suggest ordering something cooked fresh! Next time I plan to try the Deep Dish Sicilian! It sounds amazing! read more

I ordered wings last Friday. Arrived, missing wings, asked where they were. Was told they ran out and my card was credited the money back. Credit was not issued. I had to call. Never heard back from the manager. It was 12 bucks or whatever the cost was. Not a huge loss, but it's the principal at the end of the day. Pizza was very dry. Salad was not fresh. I tipped them 12 bucks at least :) read more

Hole in the wall type place with interesting characters behind the counter. My husband and I each got 2 slices each, 1 hellfire knit, and 2 drinks. With a $2 tip it was $27. Kind of pricey to be honest. The pizza was pretty good, not fantastic but not bad either. We ate it all. The hellfire knot was really good. The drink machine had no ice, which I saw mentioned on other reviews. Seems like an issue they need to resolve, because we were thirsty and wanted cold drinks! Overall, would return! read more

Ruffrano's Hell's Kitchen Pizza - Pepperoni Slice and Mac and Cheese Slice - Pizza Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

We needed a quick lunch before our train ride up to Pike's Peak so we just popped in here, which was just across the street from where we parked. It's definitely a no frills, casual place, but the staff was friendly, giving us recommendations and being patient while we decided what to order. My wife got the special with a slice (she chose Hellfire), 3 garlic knots, and a soda for $6.66. Not a bad deal. She enjoyed her pizza, but the garlic knots were a little underwhelming. I ordered the Incline calzone (mozzarella, ricotta, mushrooms, spinach, artichokes, and bacon), which was solid. It took a little while for them to cook it, but it was huge and definitely filled me up. Much more bang for your buck than the pizza, so if you're really hungry you might want to go for the calzone. read more

I just left and I am so upset. I walked in and ordered 4 slices of pizza. The total was $19.07. I placed the change in the tip jar. The man at the cash register said "nice tip I'll get your food when I have done everything else I need to do. We are people too. " I said I had planned to walk out to my car to get more money for the tip. He continued yelling about how rude I was and he was going to get my order when he had nothing else to do as I was the lowest of his priorities. I then turned to the woman making pizza and said - "excuse me is there someone else I can talk to?" She ignored me. I asked again and she said " you need to get out of here before we call the police." I asked for a refund and the man again became severely agitated and said he would give me a refund after he had done everything else and I could wait until he was ready. I asked what I had done wrong. He said " why don't you just take money out of my pocket and out of all the other workers pockets and grabbed $20 out of the tip jar. He then told me to get out. I am shocked, felt unsafe and extremely confused about what the man and the woman's behavior was caused by. Will never go there again. read more

We ate here earlier today... it was hands down the worst pizza (and garlic knots) any of us had ever had. The cheese pizza was like old cardboard with stale cheese - I cant come up w the right words to describe the texture. I am not sure how you screw up cheese pizza so badly but they managed. (Bathroom needed a LOT of attention as well.) read more

This place is absolute garbage. There are two things going here... 1. The people in Manitou Springs have no clue what good service and pizza is OR 2. All of these reviews on here have been paid for through Yelp advertising making it seem like this place is worth your time. Upon entering I seated my date and proceeded to the counter where I was told (being conservative here) about 20 times we'll be right with you. They kept working and no one bothered to stop and take our order. 15-20 minutes later finally we get an order in. Small 16" pepperoni pizza. Not hard right? Think again... After waiting 30 minutes sitting in their dinning room I go back up to ask what's going on with our pizza. I get... Oh no worries man it only takes 10 mins to cook. Ya ok buddy but we've been sitting here and placed our order 30 minutes ago. Oh it's just going in the oven right now. What???!! We were in the dinning room with 2 other tables and it took those incompetent workers 40 minutes to just stick our pizza in the oven?! Whatever... 16" pepperoni pizza arrives 40 minutes later from ordering in, and it's a pile of garbage swimming in a pool of grease. Worthless service and food. Had I know this I'd rather give that $20 to some homeless people instead. Oh while you're there take notice of all the long haired employees with no hair nets. Hint... It's every single one of the employees working there. I believe we even saw one worker in his pajamas. I rarely leave 1 stars and when I do it's absolutely warranted. This place doesn't even deserve 1 star. read more

Ordered food for delivery, waited hour and a half, called restaurant to ask where food was, the lady on the phone I spoke to said our food was just dropped off in front of our hotel door... there was no food there. Went down stairs to ask front desk receptionist if anyone came into the lobby or if he had my pizza waiting there for us, he said no one came In or out, I told the lady I was speaking with on the phone that there was no food delivered to my location and she turned the phone away "but I could still hear her talking" and asked the girl standing next to her if she delivered the food and she said yes and said she knocked a bunch of times and no one answered(bulls***) so she left it outside the door. As I proceeded to say my food was never delivered and I wanted a refund she placed me on hold and than told me to call the people who deliver the food and ask them for a refund????? What kind of business is this they did not even try to compensate me for wasting my time and money. Do not order delivery through them! If I could give no stars I would. read more
