Service sucks. The owners and the cooks treat customers like CRAP. I have eaten here every summer for 15 yrs. I love the pizza. I HATE the restaurant. Dirty, hot (even in ruidoso) and the workers just do not care about the people they are serving. Case in point, we ate there about 8 months ago and a woman and... More

This pizza is far from healthy (read: greasy and heavy), but it is delicious. We ordered a jumbo size pizza and it easily fed four people with leftovers. The hand-tossed crust is amazing! The atmosphere is funky and fun, although it is not particularly tidy or spacious. Go here expecting a true "dive." We loved our visit. Warning: spicy cheese... More

Yes, it's a hole in the wall. Yes, the place seems to cater more to locals than out of town guests. But the pizza is really quite good. Don't expect fancy furniture, a great view or even extra special service - just good pizza. Our family of four ordered the jumbo size pizza and we couldn't finish it. But that... More

This place was recommended by a friend and I'm so glad we went! Pizza is so good! Home made, hand tossed, so yummy! Very busy restaurant but so worth the short wait, just don't wander off or they'll give your table away!
