The beef was incredibly dry and I couldn't pick up the sandwich. A teaspoon of barbecue sauce doesn't work on the sandwich. The mac & cheese was an afterthought. Someone boiled a pot of noodles, drained them and threw in a bunch of cheddar cheese. Nothing but big hard clumps and when I say hard, I'm in the noodles and the cheese were like dried plastic. I don't know if this owner just didn't care about a Colorado festival (sugar beet days), but I wouldn't even bother. We've had grocery store barbecue better than this.

On the way back from a weekend in the southwest corner of the state, we stopped here for lunch and…read morerefreshment. We sat outside as our pups were with us. They have a large outside area with a variety of seating. I ordered a pint of Burnt Toast, an English brown ale and a cheese pizza. The pizza was tasty, I did need a box for half of it. Burnt Toast had a nice maltiness to it. My husband ordered a pint of Trashy Blonde, their flagship blonde ale. He said it was nice. He also ordered a supreme pizza. He too required a box to bring half home. My daughter ordered a glass of their sangria and a Provenzano Margherita pizza. She really enjoyed her pizza, as with us, had half to bring home in a box. She was not a fan of the sangria, it was not sweet and a bit too tart for her taste. The service was great. We were seated right away and did not wait long for drinks or food. You could get a pint at this place and just sit back and watch the world go by.

We visited in person and there was maybe 8 people in the restaurant and we asked how long it would be to get wings to go and they said 2 hrs... also the pictures online showed the wings & pizza not looking so great either. The prices are also insane, for 5 wings it was $20 and it was $35 for 10 wings. We really were hoping these reviews weren't true but were skeptical and wanted to try anyways but we're disappointed that everything was true. We left the second she said 2 hrs for wings.

The pizza itself? Delicious. Worth eating and no complaints there. But everything else about this…read moreplace is a disaster. I waited nearly an hour for my pizza while only two people slaved away making food, taking orders, and serving customers. They were clearly understaffed, underpaid, and overworked -- yet still doing everything they could to keep up. Honestly, they deserve a raise which I'm sure they won't get. As I'm waiting for my pizza I happen to glance through the window to the kitchen and see a sign posted in the back from management. It screamed things like "Absolutely NO phones, I'll lock them up until end of shift" and "I'm not afraid to replace anyone." It even listed reasons why employees should leave such as "if you don't care or don't want to be here" and "don't want to do the work or do what you're paid to do". Instead of encouragement or support, it was pure threats and intimidation. The food is good, but no slice of pizza is worth watching workers get burned out while management hides behind a whiteboard full of ultimatums. The people making the food are carrying this place on their backs, and it shows. Even with terrible management the workers were giving it their all with a restaurant full of hangry customers staring them down. The fact the pizza was good is honestly a testament to them not the culture set by management. Until management figures out that a thriving restaurant requires more than fear tactics and skeleton crews, you should expect long waits, frazzled staff, and the uneasy feeling that your pizza came at the expense of people being run into the ground.

I've been in this building before when it was the pizza place and original hideaway mind you. Walked in and it just didn't appear clean. It was a bit dark and some bulbs needed replaced. No biggie. Heater registers looked banged up. Ok but maybe the food is good right? Because you can't screw up breakfast...or so I thought. Hubby ordered the 2+2+2 with eggs over medium. I had western omelette with potatoes. The toast didn't even make my $16 plate as noted on the menu. Husband's pancakes were a very light color and didn't appear cooked. We asked for butter and were told they were already buttered. His eggs were also watery and not close to a medium cooked egg. I opened up my omelette to find it oozing...why is it watery? I swear the coffee cups were not clean as I could see DUST floating on top. Creamer looked grey and was not refrigerated. How long did it set out? Overall our meal did not taste good and it just didn't look appetizing either. I was grossed out nevertheless and ate some of the potatoes which were probably the only decent thing on our plates. Sausage patty looked dry and sad to be there with the undercooked egg with oil sauce. I'm so sorry to leave a bad review but I didn't think it was possible to mess up breakfast. We won't be back. I expected better for Mother's Day

The Crust is unbelievable…read more On January 17, 2026, I had the BEST pizza of my LIFETIME. it's even better than Chris Bianco pizza in Phoenix (I live in Phoenix). I called the owner, Joe , a few days ahead to say I would be there on Saturday and would like to have Sicilian pizza. You have to order it a few days ahead so Joe can let the dough ferment. Oh My Lord, it was unbelievable. The crust was doughy but crispy, light but with a foundation to hold the sausage, pepperoni, onions perfectly. It was so full of flavor. Simply the BEST pizza of my Lifetime. If you are anywhere near Alamosa, Colorado, I highly recommend you come here. You will not be disappointed. FYI: It's wise to call ahead because he sells out of dough, even for his normal pizzas, which are fantastic too. If you can, call 2 days to get the Sicilian pizza. Also note, they are closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

After placing the order on DoorDash, we arrived at the estimated time. It took forever for someone to help the folks in the queue. I was told to pick up at the bar. Honestly, the place was not that busy. I have no idea why they can't answer the phone or manage the queue. I've been at locations with more people and similar staff size. They need to either improve their operations or hire more staff if it's a busy time for them. At the bar, a guy was in front of me and that order took a bit to complete - he was offered red pepper flakes and parm. And there was some chit chat. During my turn, they got it out but it was obviously missing an order. The lady didn't even notice that line item (soup in a bread bowl) missing. It's listed there - if it is not on the menu anymore, do not pretend like there was nothing wrong. Very shady, very distrustful. I asked the lady about the order and she said the bread bowl is not on the menu anymore. I was going to ask a question and interrupts me and says that she couldn't do anything as she walks away. She didn't even offer me red pepper flakes or parm. Very rude, very distasteful. Whatever, I can take it up with DoorDash but she was rude. I went back with two specialty pizzas. I thought the pizzas were alright - I do have comments. I think the wood roasted pizza concept is good since there isn't one in the area. However, the crust was definitely not the star (one would assume it should be for wood roasted). One pizza (baked potato) was definitely a bit pale for the crust - seemed like it could have been in there for longer but I enjoyed the toppings. The other pizza (holy pork) had a better crust but still something I didn't finish - the toppings were one note. The peach didn't add much to the flavors after it was overpowered by the pork. I think I would be rated the food better cause it wasn't bad but the service left a bad taste in my mouth which lasted throughout the meal. Honestly, I didn't even finish it. I always leave tip for pick up orders and I left one via DoorDash when I placed my order for The Purple Pig, but my experience with The Purple Pig makes me reconsider giving a tip all the time for other pick up orders at restaurants. I order out a lot and haven't experienced this before so it's unfortunate.

We have been there twice now and both times it didn't disappoint…read more The staff are mostly young people from Alamosa who have been trained well and are unfailingly pleasant. The food is amazing! We had Arancini- the best either of us have had since being in Italy. Crab cakes were another appetizer we enjoyed but not in the level of the Arancini. The main course (which we spied on the way to our table) was to die for. Duck leg confit with mushroom ravioli and broccolini (perfectly cooked) and a creamy mushroom gravy. It was magnificent. If you're ever in Alamosa for dinner, don't hesitate to stop in. You won't regret it. You might even want to go out of your way to stop here. Two chefs who earned their stripes in NYC returned to Alamosa to try their hands at fine dining in Alamosa. I hope they can continue to do well.

After a full day exploring the vast San Luis Valley, the largest high mountain valley in the world,…read morewe were ready for a good meal. I ordered the taco plate, which was satisfying and, surprisingly, priced like it was still pre-pandemic. In today's world, that alone earns goodwill. A few things could elevate the experience. The main dining area would benefit from better ventilation. Also, the salsa bar clearly meant to be a showcase feature, needs more attention during the day. A quick refresh here and there would go a long way toward presentation and food safety. Things like dried salsa around container rims, a stray floating ramekin lid, and limes that looked like they'd been slowly dehydrating made it feel neglected. Finally, table service should include checking back on drinks. A quick pass to refill or ask if anything's needed would make the service more complete. It was a four-star experience but somewhere I'd consider returning given fairly limited options in Monte Vista. With more attention to detail it could be in competition for a five star rating.
