This little gem is hidden in a shopping mall in Clifton! When you enter, you are greeted with an open and inviting space to enjoy food, drinks, and your companions. We came through most recently on a Monday night with only a handful of people inside. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The menu has plenty of good pizza, salad, and dessert options. The flavors for the garlic cheese sticks and pizzas we ordered were very good! The star is the self serve tap wall with excellent options of beer, cocktails, and wine. If soda is more your speed, there is also a good selection of Stubborn Sodas. There are tons of TVs for any sports you might want to watch while enjoying the eats and drinks. There is also a nice couch and chair set if you prefer a lounging spot. There also appeared to be a separate room to be able to book for private events. While GJ has a Smokin' Oak, this location is superior due to the layout and the tap wall! Stop in to this hidden gem! read more

This pizza place is in a strip mall in Clifton, an out-of-the-way town near Grand Junction. Most of my orders so far have been delivery, but I did peek in once and I noticed the many tap options for beer, so I imagine it's a good place to eat in. I've had pizza on the East Coast, the West Coast, and Europe, and what Smokin' produces is very good. I'm very glad it exists. Once or twice the pizza has been too doughy and soft, but mostly it has been just right: crispy edges, fresh ingredients. read more

Most excellent pizza. The crust is crispy, but still very soft. One of the best I've had. We ordered the buffalo and a cheese/black olive. I would have them put the bleu cheese on the side next time. It was a little too much for my taste. I also had the raspberry sauce on the side. It did offer a unique flavor. I would recommend this place! read more

Smokin' Oak Wood-Fired Pizza and Taproom - Buffalo without raspberry sauce - Pizza Near Me - Clifton, Colorado

I give a 3 based on my food preference, being a vegetarian, I ordered a build your own pizza to include 4 veggies They put very few veggies on the pizza, charged a dollar for each veggie I'd wanted extra so I paid $4.00 in addition. Still the veggies were few. I noticed that pizzas with meat seemed to have plenty of meat. How unfair and discrimination against vegetarians. Will not eat there until they change their skimpy pizzas, provide more veggies and not charge extra for what should be the norm read more

The pizzas are very small with very little toppings. Since we were new to town, we didn't know to ask about the size .... You probably wanna order two if you're hungry And ask for extra toppings! The taste was fine. But could definitely use more sausage and olives! read more

Slow service and rude employees. Food is average. Go to a different pizza place. Papa John's would be better and better quality

If your in the grand junction area and u want pizza dog don't walk RUN!! Food jaw dropping the fountains were so cool also very fast read more

Smokin' Oak Wood-Fired Pizza and Taproom - hard - Pizza Near Me - Clifton, Colorado

Honestly, not bad. I just moved here from Chicago and have found it incredibly difficult to find some decent pizza. Wood-fired is definitely my favorite and a number of years ago I tried a different smokin' oak location in GJ I believe and never wanted to try this place again due to it being soggy and having my cheese and toppings slide right off. Decided to give this location a try, and I was glad I did. Got it well done as I feel a lot of times the pizza will be soggy but this one was not! Crust was delicious as well. Would like to see more variations of pizza though, I had a good pie with sweet fig jam, prosciutto, mozzarella, and creamy mascarpone. Would love a variation like that! read more

Smokin' Oak Wood-Fired Pizza and Taproom - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Clifton, Colorado

Shocking! The standards of the average Yelp reviewer. So, let's break it down. Smokin Oak is a chain. While its pizza is better than Dominos it's not stellar. It's mostly just different. Their unique selling point is their tap wall. You pay by the ounce based on your own pour. Which makes the beer a little bit more expensive. My problem with these systems is that it never pours a beer as great as a well-used tap at an actual beer bar. That being said.. 3 stars? You betcha. 3 1/2 stars? Okay, maybe? 4 stars? What! Are you ten years old? Save your money and buy a Totino's at City Market read more

Love this place, great food and awesome tap wall at great prices. Lots of seating and TV's

The food is really good and the service was excellent and fast And the food was very hot when they bright it to the table read more

Fast service!! Pizzas are slightly larger than personal size. Tried the pepperoni and Italian and both were good!! Cheese bread was good too. Cute place, plenty of seating. read more

Hadn't order a pie in a while, thought we'd give this newer place a try. I wasn't paying attention when ordering and inadvertently placed an online order for their location on the other side of town. When we realized my mistake, they graciously offered to quickly make the order for us. AND the pizza was delicious! We tried the Classic and it was excellent, but there are so many toppings to choose from we'll try building our own next time. The mustard vinaigrette dressing was fantastic! read more

Excellent pizzas, wide variety of toppings, including vegetarian options, also build your own. Service is very good ... friendly personnel ... Megan is especially personable and professional. The ambiance is very welcoming. Always clean. Often there's a greeting written in the dusting of flour at the dough prep counter. At the Clifton location there is a wide variety of beer on tap, also if I recall correctly, also at least one hard cider. Oh! Also TVs for various sports events. read more

I ordered online as I was driving through Colorado with my 5 kids and ended up at the wrong location for pickup. It was 8:20 and they closed at 9. As soon as we realized I was in the wrong place, the staff insisted they remake our order to "get us fed." I still had a 4 hour drive ahead and could not be more appreciative of their kindness. They were so sweet and not at all irritated to have to make a big order so late. As I sat down to wait, the other location in Grand Junction called asking if I was still coming to get my order. I told him what happened and he was also so nice. He promised to pass out my order to hungry people. I was already going to give a 5 star review and then I actually got my order and it was so good! The flavors were great, ingredients were fresh and distributed nicely. The crust was really delicious. I've never left a yelp review before but felt I need to for this. read more

I stopped in here for a bite to eat, thinking it would be a great place to have pizza and a salad. The service was exceptional, very attentive and in the right place. I ordered a full smoking oak salad and added extra red onion, applewood, bacon, extra applewood bacon and pepperoni. They charged me 6 extra dollars totaling my salad $14.95. I was a bit surprised. I can understand for the protein the additional cost. The salad I got had very little pepperoni, very little bacon when I specifically asked for extra bacon. The Dijon dressing was not that good and the greens tasted dirty and old. After that salad, I ordered a pepperoni pizza. That was not much better since it was very greasy and fell apart when I tried to pick up each and every slice. There was barely enough cheese to cover the pie, and the pepperoni was so thin and very little on the pizza pie and it was too greasy. It tasted like a lightly cheese piece of bread. Not sure what the food was trying to accomplish. The design, the atmosphere was really good. They have an outside area for seating and it looks like it'd be a really cool place, but the food completely destroyed the restaurant. I will say the service was exemplary and they were very attentive when I needed something. The place was clean and neat, but the food brought it down. There was a silverware container with a few forks in it, but no knife and no spoon. I asked myself would I returned? My answer would be for the atmosphere yes and the beer yes but for the food no way. read more

Pizza & service were great! We got one of the specials they were running - cheesy bread, 2 personal pizzas and cinnamon twists. Everything was delicious! read more

Pizza was light and delicious with fresh toppings. Staff were friendly and helpful. The self serve tap wall was awesome! It completely boosted the overall great experience. Will definitely be going back. read more

Pizza was delicious! Service was fantastic and my son watching the TVs! I highly recommend!

This location was better than the one in junction but not after today. First you not only messed up our entire order, but you forget a pizza. Then you lie right to my face and remake the wrong pizza again. Extremely disrespectful then try and tell me I still owe you for the pizza you forgot. No you forgot it and messed everything up I'm not paying you more money. read more

Pizza was good, they had a BOGO pizza coupon so it was crowded and busy, however they did a good job of taking care of a busy crowd. The reason I score if so low was because their self serve beer section was pouring foam only out of the Coors Lite tap. The girl didn't didn't do anything about it and charged me for it anyway. Pizza was good but stay away from the self serve drink section. read more

The crew was really respectful and made a great atmosphere the food was incredible I promise we will be back this place is incredible.
