We visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday. The food was ok...not great, but acceptable. The service was also decent but not great. The one thing I deducted a star for was the automatic gratuity (we were a party of 8)...I understand that restaurants assign an automatic gratuity for larger parties, but it was handwritten on the credit card slip and the 20% was charged for the whole bill including taxes. Tipping on taxes is ridiculous to me, and handwriting an auto-gratuity is not typical. read more

This place is everything a pizza restaurant should be. I've been eating here on snowboard / mountain bike vacations for over 15 years and it is consistently amazing. It actually inspired me to begin baking pizza myself in hopes of recreating it...I've nearly perfected it, but as good as it is, it's not Hernando's. Go see Matt at the bar for dinner and a show. Hilarious guy, and equally awesome of a server. If you consider yourself a pizza lover and you're checking yelp to find good local eats, let your search end here. read more

The best thing about this place is it's great for large groups as far as seating and eating goes. The pies are the best part of the menu and they'll let you do a wheat crust which is really good. Ingredients were fresh, nothing canned, but there was nothing gourmet or really great about anything. The beer does come in pitchers which is nice. read more

We ate there tonight and loved it The prices are a bit high but other than that no complaints read more

Molly is the best in the business!!!!! Came here with a huge group and she handled us like a pro - definitely request her if you decide to stop in. Pizza was DANK read more

When we walked in we were told we had a one hour wait for a party of 5... The place was busy!! It ended up being much shorter and just enough time to explore all of the dollar bills in the entry. We ordered our drinks and family size cheese bread to start and it was huge!! At our table we had a VERY fresh salad, pizza, chicken parm, cheese ravioli, meatball sub and a Stromboli .... It was all good!!! I would definitely go again when we return (even if we had to wait an hour to be seated). read more

Great place with amazing pizza. If you go just sit at the bar. Good way to avoid wait.

My personal favorite place to eat in Winter Park based on a total of four restaurants I've eat at in this town (so take that with a grain of salt!). Biggest tip: CALL AHEAD. The first night I went, I was told we'd wait for 1.5 hours.. but we were dedicated to eating there, so we waited at the bar with some of the nicest, coolest bartenders ever. They got us fixed up quickly, gave great suggestions, and made small talk with everyone. What was supposed to be a long wait only turned out to be a 45 minute one. The whole room is decorated in dollar bills and has a cozy ski lodge feeling. They are known for their pizzas and boy, are they good. The first night we tried a more plain traditional style, but the second night we went crazy with a mediterranean style with tons of basil and garlic. Both were super good. read more

Excellent pizza we had a supreme, allow you to customize. Fast service. Cute atmosphere

We heard that Hernando's was the place to go for pizza in Winter Park. Our friends were only half right. Not only was the pizza great, the stromboli was truly sublime. To me, the essense of great pizza resides in the crust I'm not usually a fan of whole wheat pizza crust, but Hernando's nailed it perfectly. We also ordered the stromboli with whole wheat dough and it was excellent. One of the reasons we went with pizza was to easily enjoy vegetarian fare. The challenge with most veggie pizzas is that the veggies usually make the meal soggy. Fortunately, the pizza and stromboli were both perfectly moist without coming close to sogginess. As good as the food was, all of the above praise would've normally earned 4 stars. The thing that put Hernando's over the top was their effotlessly perfect service. I called in our order for pickup duing half time of the game. Not only were they happy to have hot & ready exactly on time, they threw in a free Diet Coke because they only had small cups. I know a free small soda may not sound like a big deal, but it exemplified the attitude of their staff in making sure our experience was excellent. We're looking forward to our next trip to Winter Park and feasting at Hernando's again. read more

Hours are posted on the door opens at 5pm. Do not go here. The pizza is way sub par. The pizza is mostly crust that is folded over a paste. The Chicken Alfredo is not any better. I will not return. This is the worst pizza ever and it is expensive. Get your self a frozen pizza and do it yourself. read more

Hernando's Pizza Pub - there are a ton of dollar bills everywhere - Pizza Near Me - Winter Park, Colorado

If you are from the east coast do not expect anything good out of this place also overpriced for the size of the Za

My boyfriend's family had been here the previous year and raved about it. We stopped in around 8PM and the hostess said it was a 45 minute wait! It was crazy busy for such a late dinner time, but it was less than 15 minutes that we were seated. The mason jar glasses were awesome and I loved the tables and furniture. I know it's famous for the dollars, but I'm just not a fan. I think the interior would be a lot more attractive if they took out all the dollar bills. Plus, it's illegal and in my opinion doesn't look good. Our waiter didn't ask us, or the table next to us, what size pizza we wanted. It was like she was making a guess as to what size we were going to get. Instead of saying, what size would you like? She was saying, 14? Or 12? Ect. My boyfriend and I planned on getting a 14'. When she took our order he talked her it and when she quickly said 12? He completely missed that question. She did say it super quick and I hardly knew which number she had said. We didn't see her much after that I just guessed we would see what we get when we get it. Turned out she said 12', but it wasn't a huge deal, just no leftovers like we wanted for tomorrow. The pizza are SO amazing, so make the stop! read more

Ordered to go since the line is always obnoxious Not impressed in the slightest Ordered it at 3 to pickup when they opened at 4 The pizza was cold by the time we picked it up at 4:03. Not great flavor. Won't be back. read more

Vacationing in Winter Park and excited to find an excellent Italian restaurant. So far pizza, lasagna and spaghetti. Each one delicious!!

Ordered take out pizza for a large group. Service was relatively (hour or so) quick and the pizza was delicious!

The best everything. The staff, the food, the decor. It was a wonderful all around experience. Thanks guys! read more

You must stop here. It is modeled on the obscure bubble house in fort Myers in that it has 25000 or more dollar bills on its walls. But the pizza is serious. More options than I'm used to. The crust is big and they have honey to dip it in. I know. But try it. read more

We are here getting ready to have pizza. We were told this is the best pizza in town. Service was a bit slow.. But the pizza well worth it . The place was very busy for 9:00 pm on a Saturday. We were visiting from North Carolina .. Smells delish!! Very good . read more

Ordered a couple of pizzas to go. They were good and quick. The restaurant looked like it had a very fun vibe to it. No complaints. 4 stars because there wasn't any "wow" to the food but it was very good and I'd definitely go back. read more

I first found Hernando's on Yelp last year when we stayed near Winter Park ski resort, and we had driven in late on a Friday night and needed some nourishment quickly. With an exhausted, on-the-brink-of-a-meltdown toddler in tow, we needed a viable takeout option, and Hernando's seemed to fit the bill. We ordered a few pizzas and a large salad, and it was plenty of food for 5 adults. We even had a few leftover slices. I don't remember exactly what pizzas we had (we just picked existing ones off the menu vs. making our own), but I remember them being really good. I specifically do remember that we got a Greek salad - and it was amazing! Chock full of olives and Greek deliciousness. Highly recommend. The second time could have put a serious kink in my view of Hernando's... we tried to go Friday night after we drove in, and they were CLOSED for a private party. Lights were on, "OPEN" sign flashing, but a paper sign on the door saying they were closed! Seriously! We were only there about 3 minutes, but I easily saw a total of 10 cars somewhere in the process of driving up, getting out, seeing the sign, getting back in, and driving away. Very disappointing. Lucky for Hernando's, my hubby was hellbent on having this pizza, so we returned on Saturday and all was (mostly) forgiven. This time we ordered a 10" pesto pizza on whole wheat crust, as well as garlic breadsticks and another Greek salad. The garlic breadsticks were not anything to Yelp about (they were really just your average garlic bread), but the Greek salad was, again, amazing. The pizza was also REALLY yummy. The whole wheat crust was surprising tender and delicious. Heads up though, we were trying to not have leftovers - but all this food was not quite enough for the 2 of us after a long day of skiing. I think I had a granola bar when we got back to the hotel, and then I was good. Also, as other people have mentioned, the dollar bills all over the wall are pretty cool... if not completely illegal. I had to take a star off for this defacing of currency as well as the closed-on-a-Friday-night incident. But other than that, highly recommend! read more

Awww, the owner posted a response! How cool is that? "Thank you for taking a moment to write a review for us. It's great to hear that you're a fan of our honey and crust, and that our delivery service has always been quick. I'm sorry to hear that you're not crazy about our atmosphere or the dollar bills. They're a big part of our tradition, and a fun way for us to stay connected to the hundreds of tourists who come to Winter Park every year. It's great for the families to come back year after year and see that their dollar is still there, hanging where they left it. I hope you won't let our family-friendly atmosphere keep you from enjoying our pizza and pub--we love all of our guests and would love to see you again soon! Take care, Jeff Davidson, Owner" Thank You Jeff! I am actually not crazy about the atmosphere or the dollar bills but am aware this is a considerable bonus for your target demographic. Yes, bonus star- it was excellent service received plus your professional attention to yelp reviews. read more

I absolutely love this place... I am there more then I should admit which is a good thing. The staff is so friendly and the owners are amazing!!! Food is beyond delicious. If you come to town you definitely need to visit this awesome unique place! You will NOT be disappointed. Matt, Ellen, john, and krista are amazing!!! read more

My whole family came up to Winter Park from Texas for a week long vacation. I drove up from Denver to join them and after a great week of golf, rafting and hiking we decided to eat here on our last night in town. We called ahead hoping to minimize the wait and were quite surprised at the size of the Friday night crowd. We had a rather large party of 14 and after a 45 minute wait we were seated in the bar area. Although we were not seated together, the four tables assigned to our party worked out well. The boys sat together, as did the girls, and the adults pulled two tables together. Christy, our waitress, took care of the drink orders pronto and in no time we had all ordered. First off, let me say that the Greek salad was wonderful. We ordered a family size for the adult table and I am already thinking of stopping back by one weekend to have another. I ordered the Stromboli and found it to be quite tasty and rather large for an individual serving. I ate half and one of the boys had no problem finishing it. The marinara dipping sauce was very good and I pushed away from the table quite satisfied. The others in my group ordered pizzas and various pasta dishes. The consensus was that the food was great all around. Christy was very efficient and had a great personality to boot. The prices were reasonable and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Having had a mediocre dining experience earlier in the week we were quite happy to enjoy a great meal and excellent service, especially given the size of our party. I wholeheartedly recommend Hernando's to anyone looking for good Italian fare at a reasonable price. read more

We are vegetarian. Ordered Mediterranean pizza with Simone garlic style crust, without sausage and added broccoli. Awesome. Incredible. Finished large between 2 adults after day of skiing. Friendly staff. Had visited this place every year for last 3 to 4 years during spring skiing in 1st wk of April. Very consistent. Will be back again. read more

The pizza and salad at Hernando's was amazing! Some of the best I've ever had. I didn't know I liked honey to dip my crust in, but that is one of the greatest ideas I've ever heard of! Snag a spot near the bar and fireplace. read more

Amazing all around! Pizza is spot on- ask for the honey with your crust! Service is spectacular- happy staff and lots of fun for our party of 8! Thank you "Cowboy"!! read more

The atmosphere upon walking in is immediately comforting. The lighting is adequate without being too bright. The have a fireplace in the middle of the room which is perfect for warming up after a day of skiing (it was -16F with windchill that day). They have dollar bills from customers taped all over the walls of the restaurant as well as underneath epoxy on the tables themselves. Definitely has a good vibe to it. The pizza's are delicious and come out with tons of toppings. Although it seems like they had a surplus of mushrooms since there was (what seemed like) a ratio of 3-1 for mushrooms to anything else. packaged up the leftovers and then ate them for breakfast the next day, still tasty. Would definitely recommend this place to skiers/snowboarders looking for a hot meal after a day on the slopes. read more

Winter Park's best place to eat -- no doubt, y'all: - Delicious pizza that would be good anyway you slice it (Ha!), but is only elevated in goodness after a tough day of skiing - Pasta that is equally as delicious - Excellent service, atmosphere, and crowd - Beer by the pitcher (also a requirement after a tough day of skiing) - The antipasto salad is the stuff that dreams are made of - way better than the caesar - Cheese bread - YES PLEASE Each time I've been to Winter Park I've been here so I think it's fair to say it's a tradition. You should make it one, too. read more

I am from NYC and am very picky with my pizza and hot subs. Well Hernando's definitely hits the mark. I had the chicken parm hot sub....AWESOME. My son had the chicken Alfredo, that was great too. Waitress was super nice and prices are super reasonable. This is a must try for anyone visiting WinterPark. Great atmosphere for kids and adults alike. read more

The pizza is right up there with the best pizza ever. The drinks have a pleasing amount of alcohol. Incredible ambience and not too pricy.

Enjoyed a Hawaiian pizza while in Winter Park. Pretty tasty!!!! Will come back again. read more

Very good pizza and great service. I couldn't stop looking at the dollar bills on the walls. Maybe I'm just a moron. The honey on the wheat crust is really good. read more

Best pizza in Winter Park. The crust is amazing and some of the best crust I have ever had. We had meat, roasted garlic, jalapenos and some pesto on the pizza. Also split the meat ravioli with the pesto sauce. Both were amazing. Service was excellent. Make sure if you are in Winter Park you eat here. read more

"Life's too short to eat bad pizza." -- that's their slogan, and its true to it. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Great prices, good beer, and great atmosphere. There are decorated dollar bills everywhere, which apparently began as a bet when the place opened. There is outdoor seating, and a cozy warm fire inside as well. Highly recommend the stromboli- you can pick whatever you want in it. (I went with shrimp, mushrooms, and sun dried tomato- yummmmy!) If your in the area- definitely a spot to hit! read more

This restaurant was definitely popular, as there was a 45 minute wait when we got there. Sat at the bar and had a drink, we had 2 kids with us, so it took about 10 minutes before the bartender would wait on us. Would have given 4 stars if we received better service in the bar. The table service was prompt, and the pizza was good, probably great for Winter Park area, and the salad we ordered was yummy and fresh! Would go back if we visit again! read more

Love love love! After having a few disappointing dinners in the area I was so happy we came here on our final day of vacation. I know it's pizza but this place is about atmosphere! Aside from pizza we ordered an appetizer of cheese bread, a meatball sub, Stromboli, baked rigatoni, and giant cheese ravioli. Everyone was satisfied with each of their orders even me with my Stromboli. Delicious marinara and pepperoni! read more

Amazing place and food...the ambience is pretty unique where they have dollar bills sticking on the walls and ceiling and even the tables. The food was pretty amazing as well, we had the veggie pizza, the lasanga, the white sauce pasta and the brownie dessert. Everything was perfect and really tasty. If everyone is staying in Fraser, I would certainly recommend this place. read more

Great pizza and cheese bread! Love the rolled edge crust. Definitely try when in winter park.
