My husband and I sat up at the bar and had a few drinks and the cheese curds. Yummy beer on draft - they had several to pick from. I also had an espresso martini which was great. Cheese curds were served with ranch and marinara and were delicious! Staff were all very attentive and friendly. The restaurant was clean and had a nice modern feel. I'd love to come back for dinner! read more

Excellent restaurant and as far as pasta goes, I guess I could have given it 5 stars. If you're in Leadville and want Italian food, then the Famous is a must. If you really like Italian food, I would say it's worth a 1- 2 hour drive. I had the Chicken Parmesan and it was great. I did start eating before remembering to take the photo ‍ I believe the drink was a margarita and it was good. All in all a great restaurant with great service. read more

The atmosphere and wait staff was great! The food was just meh. We shared the shrimp scampi appetizer - it needed more flavoring. My husband had the fettuccini and added shrimp.. and I had the pull apart salad which was average. The burnt turkey ends were interesting but not somethin read more

Great service and hours but the food is pretty average. Typical generic pub food. Beer selection is OK. Bright lighting. read more

I came here with my friend Danielle after a long day of travel and work stuff. The place is very cute and spacious inside with plenty of regular and bar seating. Our waiter was very attentive and answered all our questions and was very patient when we wanted some more time to figure out what we needed. He kept checking in on us through the evening got us to go boxes and the check and no issues just kind smiles all evening. The food was delicious as well as being decent portion sizes too as you can see from the photos. CUBED CUCUMBER SALAD * Cucumber, carrot, red onion, dried cranberry, sesame vinaigrette; HOUSE * Mixed greens, tomatoes, red onions, gorgonzola, balsamic vinaigrette; FIREBIRD * House-made roasted garlic white sauce, mozzarella, chicken, turkey burnt ends, jalapeno, .19 red onion, hot honey; SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE * Chicken, beef, pork, house made marinara, red wine, fresh ricotta, garlic bread; and we each got the same MOCKTAIL THE PACK * Seedlip Grove, ginger beer, lime ! We were both so pleased with our meals both the salads and main dishes. Everything was fresh and well prepared and truly delicious. We would definitely return here again when staying in this area again! And we highly recommend! It's located near all the little shops in the Main Street area! Perfect spot! read more

Awesome place packed for World Cup and NBA Finals where everyone was, perplexingly, a wild Knicks fan! Food was good. Very good beer selection and lots of big ass TVs! Seek out the couch in the "conference room" where you have straight on views of two big TVs. Pepperoni and Mushroom pizzas were very tasty. Yeah the Famous! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! GREAT SERVICE! Clean and family friendly. Moises was awesome. Double pepperoni and jalapeños on cauliflower crust was perfect. read more

The Famous - Amazing Mountain View. - Pizza Near Me - Leadville, Colorado

We had a great meal here. Loved the furniture and decor. My husband has a gluten allergy and our waitress was knowledgeable and reassuring what was safe. I enjoyed my beer and the white spicy pizza, my husband enjoyed a gluten free pasta dish. read more

Checked out the Famous over the weekend after a very long 14er hike. We were hungry and tired and popped in for Happy Hour. Awesome Happy Hour food menu, lots of good options - we went back and forth. Went with the Brussel sprouts and the Chicken Drumsticks tossed in the Asian sauce. Enjoyed both very much, Brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly and the drumsticks were both delicious and filling. My husband really enjoyed the clove old fashioned on the menu, and I went with a local hazy on tap. We noticed there is a giant wood fire pizza just behind the bar, the pizzas looked and smelled delicious. Great restaurant with a chill modern vibe, service was impeccable as well. Beautiful patio out back with a view for when it's nice out. Will definitely stop by next time we are in Leadville. read more

Food and service was great. A little pricey for the quantity of food, but made up for it with quality. Really nice restoration of the building. Would definitely recommend. read more

I did not try The Famous. I've never been there. I'm just posting this so that I can stop getting requests to review The Famous lol. Their algorithm keeps asking me to review it. read more

Friendly service good food and a beautifully restored historical building. Read the back of the menu to learn the history of the building.

This is an amazing wonderful place to gather with friends! Bob and I had the meat pizza which was excellent! My son had the macaroni and cheese, which was delicious! Katrinda had the chicken Parmesan, which was like breaded, cardboard and horrible! Amy had his fantastic salad that looked delicious and I had to hold myself back from reaching across the table! The ambience was wonderful quiet and the service was excellent from the young lady who kept the drinks coming! read more

Excellent service all around. We have dogs but the tables outside were full. However the nice young lady that was hosting said there are chairs we could so at that we're drinks only until a table opened up so we did and a table opened up less than the time it took to get our first drink!! Cool place, ambience was nice and service from our reddish head waitress was awesome! The only not pic was that the meatball sliders were too big and a little dry. Fortunately we had a side of marinara from the cheese curds (that were yummy by the way) to help make the sliders less dry. read more

The service is casual yet attentive- just the right mix. The food and drinks are stellar. This is one of my top choices in Leadville read more

Such a great spot for a small mountain town. The pizza menu is diverse and everything we tried was delicious. The salads were fresh and a perfect balance to the heavier options. Service was quick, the patio was a nice bonus, and the margaritas were excellent. It's refreshing to have a local spot that hits the right note--not a dive bar, but not overly fancy either. read more

Really enjoyed our meal here and the entire experience! We were seated as soon as we walked in and the service was great. We enjoyed a local IPA, a huge order of meatballs sliders, the Italian Cobb salad and a mushroom pizza. Portions are large. We couldn't finish all the pizza so boxed it for home. Everything came out super fast and our waitress was very attentive. The atmosphere is chill and relaxing. They have a big screen playing sports but also mellow 80s music played at a comfortable volume. Darts in the back and cool decor touches like a snake plant. Can't wait to come back here! New favorite spot in Leadville! read more

Got pizza, salad and desert. Everything was amazingly good. Beautiful restaurant. The service was the best I've had in a long time. So good. Go there immediately read more

Stopped in for a carb load meal for my child the night before a race. He devoured his spaghetti and meatballs, part of my fettuccini and then an extra wood fired pizza. Delicious! All of it! Wait staff was attentive, busy and also really seemed to be enjoying their shift and that tells me a lot about a place. It's more modern inside than a lot of other restaurants in the area. Tables big and small with tv to watch sports. I will say there's not really a way to eat here on a small budget. It's hard to find that anywhere these days. I didn't add chicken to my fettuccini because I just couldn't afford it while feeding my child, plus traveling costs. So I can't speak to that flavor. I'd definitely dine there again though. read more

This place is great, good food, great, pizza , amazing. Servers, priceless. Best place in Leadville. And look at these amazing servers! read more

The view from the back patio at The Famous is incredible. You've got an amazing view of the Rockies, especially Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive (which are the two tallest mountains in Colorado, I believe). But, of course, you don't come to a restaurant just for the view; the food was good, too. Granted, I was only there for the one meal, but it was so tasty (the "Italian Cobb salad") and definitely recommend it. read more

We stopped in to The Famous for dinner after an afternoon fishing on the beautiful Arkansas river. It is a spacious open pizza place with a lively bar scene and tons of seating. We sat outdoors on the back patio which had a large screen broadcasting MLB All-Star activities. Although the menu stated GF options were available ( perhaps pasta?) by and large GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS WERE LIMITED. I ended up with Italian Cobb salad which was really meat heavy. My husband's pizza was perfect. Service was good! read more

Calling it a pizza and pasta place does not come close to doing this restaurant justice! It is EXCELLENT and foodies will enjoy it. The spaghetti bolognese is the best that I have had in a while. The shrimp scampi is delicious and the sauce is a thicker consistency so it is perfect for dipping. The blood orange mocktail is delicious. Don't miss The Famous if you are in Leadville! read more

Number one place in Leadville...because it is. Food and drinks are great. The setting is delightful and the staff fun.

The Famous - Lavender Bee's Knees - Pizza Near Me - Leadville, Colorado

We were pleasantly surprised with this place! The staff are very polite and helpful, the atmosphere is upscale casual. The food itself is quite tasty. If you are a mushroom fan, don't miss out on the mushroom offerings, like the mushroom crostini or the alfredo. Importantly, the cocktails were pretty legit - a lavender lovers paradise. Leadville isn't exactly a foodie town but it is worth stopping in for dinner if you happen to be in the area. read more

We ended up here for dinner after the train ride after another restaurant didn't even seat us, and I am glad we did. The staff was friendly and prompt. The views behind the patio are beautiful, and the food was amazing! Let's just say we all over ate considering we had a 3 hour drive home. I had the Alfredo and a cello drop and they were both delightful. The cello drop reminded me of Rome. Everyone loved their food (and I have some picky eaters in my family). If ever in Leadville, we will definitely return to this restaurant. read more

One of my favorite spots in town! I love ordering the Firebird pizza well done. The spice, sweetness, and saltiness all complement each other so well. They get busy on weekends and during events, but the service, vibes, and food are always great! read more

This place had really good food. My chicken Parmesan was a little over cooked but everyone else had great pasta dishes and the drinks were good. Service was good even during a busy time. read more

The Famous is in the heart of Leadville and has some good food options. I only got a drink and a couple apps and they came out very quickly. It can get busy and there aren't a ton of tables inside. You can sit at the bar area as well. read more

Such a great new place in Leadville, Colorado. They repurposed the wooden floors and made them into the ceiling. Great big open area! large TVs! small menu, but good food and good service. Go multiple times and try everything. The turkey burnt on the pasta are delicious. read more

We were in town for one last night so we decided to stop in for dinner at the famous. We are so glad we did! Our service from Shelby was top notch! She was very knowledgeable and gave us every option possible from modifying food, GF, Vegan options and specials! We didn't leave a single crumb on our plate! We loved the ambiance and how relaxing the environment was. We noticed that all while making sure our dinner experience was the best. She never stopped working hard the whole time. It seemed they didn't have anyone there to seat or help with tables but that didn't stop her or from taking action. That's the kind of hard work that you like to see! Great job! We will definitely be back! read more

Service was amazing!! If you are coming into Leadville, I would highly recommend coming here. Staff is great!!

The Famous definitely delivered. Started with the special chicken drummies so meaty and full of tender chicken. The Firebird pizza was one of best pizzas I have had in a long while with and variety of flavor and texture. Andrew had the perfect Colorado vibe with his friendly attentive service. read more

Cute place, nice people , good service but the food was average at best. We had a chicken fried steak type dish, tomato mozzarella salad, roasted butternut squash and a roasted chicken breast. Lots of grease but not a lot of flavor. read more

Food excellent Atmosphere excellent No WiFi? Boogers on urinal wall Bar stools might be the most dangerous I have ever sat on and trust me, I've been on far too many. They are usually high and just asking to make someone wheelchair bound. Should be a code issue. How was the designer of this build out so talented to make such a cool place but screw up so terribly bad with these death traps called bar stools? Don't believe me, go see for yourself. Kristin H was a great server read more
