Excellent pizza! My husband raved over the Bee Sting. Subtle jalapeño - not spicy at all but so flavorful! Fig and Pig also delectable! We ordered a salad to share with- it was enough for both os us to have 2 servings. Staff was friendly. Clean, great atmosphere. read more

Delicious, reasonably priced lunch spot in B.V. Service was quick and attentive. Smoked salmon and creamy ricotta appetizer was a decent portion size - plenty for lunch. It was advertised as having lemon, but I couldn't taste any, which was too bad because I love lemon! I got a side Cesar salad, which was a little disappointing - too much dressing, no anchovies and too few croutons. I would definitely dine here again - the inventive pizza flavors were tempting. read more

We have been several times, their pizzas are phenomenal. All very good flavors and well put together. The service has always been great, the building itself is very nice and lots to watch when sitting in the high tables by the kitchen. Great food and would definitely recommend a trip. read more

Their coffees are awesome. You can do a quick google search to see what the C and O mean. Their Y&Y is coffee and tea together. I enjoyed it. The eggs are runnier than I like. But that toast! With the coconut jam! Yes please. read more

Our waitress was the absolute kindest person. I wish I remembered her name. The food was great. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped two of us order vegan options. Everyone loved their meals. One of us said it was on of the best pizzas they have ever had (I believe it was the bee sting pizza). Definitely a great place to stop if visiting Buena Vista read more

I think the Crave has some of the best pizza. The crust is excellent! The staff is friendly and service is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's nice and clean and relax restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's worth stopping bye for good food. read more

Staff were friendly and attentive. The place was clean, but really loud with the concrete floors, open ceiling and limited buffer. A little girl sitting behind us told her parents that it was loud - from the voice of babes. The menu said the lemonade was homemade - I guess if you scoop powdered lemonade into water, that is considered lemonade. The antipasto salad is a large portion and was good, maybe overdressed. The meatball sub was not so good. The bread was good, but no sauce and the meatball was too soft and just not great. I would probably not go again. read more

Probably the best meal we had in buena vista. Both pizzas we ordered were so good. Glad we decided to stop in. read more

The most mid pizza I've ever had from a restaurant. We got the salmon app, which I just like the smoked salmon you get from the store, which I like the smoked salmon from the store- so I guess that's okay.... We ordered a cheese, demon and fig and pig pizza and it was all so salty. It was actually pretty bad. You know when your mouth gets sore from sucking on a salt lick? It was kinda like that. But the restaurant is pretty and the staff is nice! I just wouldn't ever eat there again! read more

Not bad at all. We got a custom pizza on sourdough bread with honey drizzle and did not disappoint. Would highly recommend;)

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Whenever we travel through BV and are in the mood for good pizza, cocktails, and great ambiance and service, Crave is hands down our fav.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Well I can't speak for the food because we never got seated. We had 10 people and were told they couldn't guarantee when they could seat us. We asked to split 6 and 4 and were told they only had one table for 6 and it had just been seated that table so again they couldn't "guarantee when we could get a table. Not sure who wanted a guarantee but the hostess obviously couldn't seat parties of more than 4. Odd pizza restaurant in a resort town. Also it was 3 in the afternoon not rush hour. read more

Simpy devine experience all the way around. Our server Christina was great. We split the Power Mix salad (kale-spinach, quinoa, carrots, egg, apricots, almonds with red-wine vinaigrette and it was to die for. Much tastier than the ingredients alone dictate!! We then split the sourdough crust supreme pizza. The manhattan was delightful too! I'm sorry I waited so long to go here after many trips to BV. It was because most other restaurants were closed on a Monday. Good business move Crave. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was lively and crowded but not too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will be back! read more

Service was very professional and attentive. There was two dinning in our party and we started with the Crave Cheesy Bread followed up by the Demon pizza. The bread starter was exceptionally delicious but the pizza was nothing spectacular. read more

My late grandmother's Italian food was generally lauded as great. Crave's white chicken lasagna rollatini is the only Italian item I've ever eaten that was [mayyyybe] better, and that includes meals in Italy, for what it's worth! My second trip to Crave was specifically to eat it for breakfast as soon as they opened, after tasting a bite off a friend's plate a month earlier. You won't want to share it. Pizza is also delicious. read more

Good, Quick, Perfectly Priced! The pizza was MAGNIFICENT! Best pizza I've had. The service was quick and easy. The waitress was very patient and had great knowledge of the menu. Ask for the daily special. It was SOO GOOD. The BBQ pork should be a menu staple. The margarita was also out of this world. The space feels warm, inviting and homey. An unforgettable experience. I'll be back! read more

Came here on a Sunday night with my family and it was surprisingly busy. Had to wait to get in, but once in the experience was good. We started off with their cheesy bread which was so tasty. The pizzas we got were unique and delicious. We tried all three crusts and liked them all. Drinks were refreshing and tasty. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The restaurant is cute on the inside and smells delightful from the outside! read more

Our group went in for lunch after a long day of hiking. Everything started out like normal. Our sin was to move an unoccupied chair from a high table to the bar where we were sitting. We've all been in a situation where people sit in between empty seats and you're stuck shuffling. We ordered, and then... Katie, the manager approaches my friend next to me and asks where we got the chair - we answered, everything goes downhill the next time she opens her mouth and tells her to: "get off my chair, I need it back." We said no problem, but are you going to find us another chair? It was ridiculous. She refused to answer or be polite, just grabbed the chair and turned her back without presenting a solution. I've never dealt with such an ignorant manager. Why was this even a problem? The situation could've been avoided by approaching and giving us a friendly notice that your policy is not to borrow chairs from tables OR GRAB AN EMPTY CHAIR and backfill the spot WITHOUT even talking to us or being a complete asshole. If we weren't hungry and exhausted - we would have left the establishment after that experience. Instead we kept cool, got our food, enjoyed it, tipped our very courteous bar server and left. The food is great, but it'll be a roll of a dice on the professionalism. And heaven forbid you move a chair. read more

We had to wait just shy of an hour to be seated, but it was worth the wait. The cheesy bread app was the best! But we didn't dislike a thing that we ordered - pasta, meatballs, and pizza. Our server was awesome, quick and on it. There was even a mess up and our pizzas got delivered to another table, and she came over and said they'll fix it and we had our pizzas immediately. I'd recommend Crave to anyone in BV area. read more

This pizza is it! Thin crust, no flop, sourdough crunch.... I have not tasted any pizza ( I mean it) that comes close to Crave's. We watched as they made the dough into the pies and each pizza was handmade to perfection. Besides the pizza, which would be enough on its own, the atmosphere was 10/10! I ordered half salad too and it didn't disappoint! Of course we will be back since this is the best pizza we've had yet! read more

Wow! BV is impressing me more with every visit. We'd been at a family reunion in Glenwood and pizza had come up in several conversations, but by the time our trip was wrapping up we'd not had any. Just so happens that Glenwood Canyon ends up getting closed and we decide to drive home "the long way" instead of waiting for the canyon to open. I'm so glad we did! We ordered the Bee Sting pizza, antipasto salad and cheesy bread. We had an option of having a focaccia crust. Dang! This pizza was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. No joke. Having burrata cheese on it sent it over the top. Super hip place. The decor makes me want to renovate my house. Fantastic pricing. And our server was very friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

This place was great. My dad really remembered loving the pizza here, and I remembered loving the salad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The open floor plan makes it a little hard to hear.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the location is great, and in the evening you can see a reflection of the mountains in the big glass windows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Excellent pizza. I tried their demon pizza for the first time after a hike in the area and it was delicious! Great dough, great sauce, great cheese, great meat. I especially enjoyed the seasoning on the pizza. They took a little longer than expected to make it but more than compensated with 50% off without me saying anything at all which I thought to be great customer service. Will definitely be returning next time I am in the area read more

Tried this place out for lunch after it being recommended several times by locals.... Let me tell you... the pizza is off the hook!!! We had the Pig and Fig/ Demon/ and Supreme. The Pig and Fog was on focaccia bread and was a hit! Great balance of sweet and savory... the Demon was spicy and robust on sourdough bread... and the Supreme was, well, Supreme- each had lots of meat and the prefect amount of sauce... if you're looking for a greater cheese than meat ratio order somewhere else!! The staff was very prompt and courteous... gave us the disown on the vegan options and soups of the day. I had the Watermelon cocktail which was very fruity and light but had a good alcohol kick( who loves Vodka?) Started with a a Caesar salad with house made dressing with real anchovies-- y'all this was so good.. super large salad portion big enough to share... If you're in town-- don't miss out! The vibe is very chill and the industrial look is clean and pleasing... black and wood with beautiful light fixtures... has a huge bar too in the center if you're alone or wanna meet up with friends.. lots of local brew on tap.... All in all a solid 10/10.... read more

We stopped in Buena Vista on our way to Ouray. The aroma of Crave led me to investigate if they had gluten free pizza. I had originally planned to stop at another restaurant and I am glad I changed my mind. I had the Pig and Fig pizza on a gluten free crust. It is cooked in a wood fire oven on its own tray so there is no risk of contamination from the oven. I really enjoyed the combination of sweet and salty. The crust was well cooked and not crumbly. My husband had the Bee Sting on Sourdough crust. He said it was as good as pizza we would get back in Chicago! The portion size was perfect for us and they use high quality ingredients. read more

Although a little noisy, the food is excellent, and we would definitely go back again. Their house green salad was huge and chocked full of wonderful ingredients. I had a cup of the minestrone soup, and it too, was excellent. Lots of vegetables, smattering of pasta, and one of the most flavorful soups of this kind that I've ever tasted. The kids got a pineapple pizza and we got the caprese pizza. They both arrived quickly and piping hot. Daughter and I got diet cokes, and server brought us a carafe of refills at the same time. All-in-all, a great meal! read more

We ordered a pizza on Friday evening at 5:40. I arrived at the restaurant at 6:15 to be notified my order would be ready at 6:45. Ok, i get a drink at the bar and tell the host working the front counter to let me know when my to go order was ready. About 6:40 I ask her if my order had come up. She said nope. At 7:00 I one again ask if the order was ready only to discover it had been sitting on the counter in front of this host for 15 minutes. Cold pizza. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Service was pretty good, ambiance was casual/fun/laid-back, and the food was average. We ordered the special on Irish car bombs ($18), Lobster Ravioli, Cheesy Garlic Bread and Marinara, Snow Pack Pizza, and Cheesecake slice. The car bombs took about twenty minutes to arrive but were fun and festive, the ravioli's sauce was hard to get past but the lobster itself was decent, the cheesy garlic bread was hands-down a crowd favorite as far as apps, and the pizza was okay. Overall, the culinary flavor didn't stand out but the service was responsive and friendly, and the ambiance was inviting and comfortable. read more

I was wandering around downtown BV looking for a place to grab a quick bite to go for lunch. It must have been the day of the week, but I had trouble finding a place that was open for a quick salad or sandwich. Finally I happened upon Crave and saw that they had salads on the menu. Good enough. The place itself was nice and open - clean and modern. The hostess greeted me and directed me to the bar when I told her I wanted to place a takeout order. The staff was pretty busy, but I did find it annoying that I had to stand there awkwardly for probably about 5 minutes before someone helped me. The manager floated by once or twice and said that someone would be right over, but I still found it weird to have to go to the bar and wait for someone to be available to get a to-go order. Anyway... once the bartender came over, things improved. She was very friendly and helpful and even offered me a much-appreciated glass of ice water while I waited. I ordered the caprese plate appetizer, which was to be honest, a bit underwhelming. The best thing on the plate was the slices of prosciutto. The tomato was not ripe and we didn't eat it. The burrata was burrata. And I had to ask for bread to go with it, which was provided at no charge (appreciated). But shouldn't something like that come with bread and crackers? I then got the Power Mix salad for lunch. I liked it ore than my husband did I think - the apricots were really a nice addition and I love salads with quinoa in them. But the vinaigrette was SUPER vinegar-y... like to the point where I had to pucker my face when I ate it. And the salad in general was a bit underwhelming. But it was a lunch. I will say the pizza did look good so I wouldn't be opposed to trying it again. I think the things we ordered were just not the best things on the menu. read more

We had a great experience for lunch. My husband had the meatball grinder and said it was delicious. I enjoyed the soup of the day and house salad. Gentleman in the kitchen actually gave me a sample of the soup before I ordered it. Service was extraordinary. We were on a high top by the kitchen and were able to observe the kitchen staff. They were very efficient in food preparation and presentation. Orders were filled quickly and looked delicious. The pizzas looked incredible. The wait staff was also very efficient and took great care of us and the other patrons. The space isn't overly large and you may have to wait when you arrive but well worth it. read more
