The crust of the pizza approaches cardboard quality. The toppings are not that varied and not very tasty. The salad was ok but nothing special. You can order take out but the menu is kind of limited. And the prices are high but that's not unusual for food in Mountain Village. You're better off taking the gondola to the town... More

I wasn't overly impressed with this place. The atmosphere is average, nothing exciting. We sat ourselves and had to order at the counter. No wait service. The large pizzas are definitely on the large size. My kids thought there was too much sauce - they are the pizza experts. Our first pizza was delivered to our table before our appetizer.... More

Ample seating. Great, friendly service. Stop in for a slice to go , or grab a booth and enjoy the delish pizza.

I was staying in town and took the Gondola to the Mountain Village to try the pizza. Ordering your pizza is a little weird and confusing. It was a combination of fast food ordering and a sit down restaurant. They have a bunch of big TV's that we watched hockey on while we ate pizza and chilled out. There were... More

The upside are the prices wich are low. The place has lots of tables that get filled with teenagers and families sharing the home made pizza. One great thing about it is that here you can try adding honey to your pizza, you wont regret it

We did take out pizza one of the evenings during our stay in Mountain Village. The Crazy Elk had some interesting specialty pizzas. We order the Diablo pizza which was well prepared with quality cheese and dough and topped with roasted bell peppers and pepperoncine. Our pie included extra packets of red pepper flakes and grated parmesan. We will return... More

They lost our order. After half an hour, one server noticed we'd been waiting forever, and said something about it, but never actually checked in with the kitchen. Our order did not get placed until I went back to the counter and got it straightened out myself. We asked several different servers if we could get some comped fountain drinks... More

The aroma when you first walk in gets you immediately excited for the pizza you're about to enjoy. We shared a supreme pizza & cheesy garlic bread, both were delicious. Service was fine, food arrived quickly & prices are what you'd expect in telluride. Looking forward to eating my leftovers for breakfast.

Places like Telluride and Tracks and Diggity may charge more than those spots that aren't right in mountain village but the "in village premium" is nowhere more pronounced than here. The tab for a couple of pizzas is tantamount to the price of filet mignon for three in town. The pizza is only okay, takes a while, and you need... More
