    Nice place with a corner location! Took our grandson there for pizza. Nick was our waiter and worked so well with us. On Wednesday they had buy a large pizza get a childs free. They also gave out a valentines bag craft for kids. Great idea and kept kids busy. Had the moonlight pizza traditional FibArk pizza. The bread sticks are really good with marinara sauce. Good beer, great pizza, kid friendly! Not our first time here and will be back. Grandson loved it all!

    Moonlight Pizza and I go way back to my first Salida Winter overnight in 2004. It's been a perennial stop, but until last week, I hadn't been in since the pre-Covid days. They opened in 1994. That's some staying power, esp in a mountain town. Salida has several great pizza spots, but Moonlight keeps on going. They must be doing something right. We had our emerging third graders on a long weekend in the area, which limits our choices to pizza, burgers, etc. Salida has both of these covered. Our first stop was Moonlight. The interior has more than doubled in size over time. It's now bright, spacious & artsy inside. Patio space abounds. Service was quick, friendly, and accommodating. Pizza remains their strong point. A light, airy crust teams with quality toppings and plenty of cheese to make it easy to eat more than you need. The red sauce's flavor, though, tasted canned (to me at least), which it's clearly not when giving it a visual inspection. YMMV. The rest of the pie carried the day, though. I wished I'd ordered a medium. Solidly good the next day, it was. Gotta say, their beer is mids, but better than standard macro taps for sure. If you're not a beer snob, forget I said that. You'll be stoked. Our only sticking point was from the boys: While the sodas are tasty, they don't pour a cola or a lemon-lime. The cream soda and root beer were abandoned by the kids, appreciated by the adults. Four star pizza. Three star beer. Four star stars overall. I'll be back again.

    So to start, the boyfriend's uncle loves Moonlight and we had traveled from CS to see him for the day and were still stuffed from lunch. But we wanted to grab a mocktail and spend more time together. No plans for food. Well, breadsticks, several mini pizzas and more happened. It was worth every bite and every calorie. Excellent service. From the moment we walked in, the staff was super great. And free stickers. I've now got Moonlight stickers on my Yeti bottles representing up in NY. The boy and I may also have t-shirts. It was that fun. Cannot wait to come back and really try the menu!

    We went here for dinner on a Friday night with a group of 10 and an infant and were surprisingly seated quickly. The live music was a great touch! On my end of the table, the breadsticks, a cheese pizza, the Venus, and make your own with pepperoni, pineapple, and green chilis were ordered. The pesto that came with the breadsticks were delicious and all the pizzas were really good! We were a little surprised at how little beers they had for being a brewery.

    Lunch here today in Salida was yummy. I had the Greek pizza, adding sausage, and my wife had the Venus pizza, adding pesto. Pizzas were delicious. We both ended up with a Mexican lager, and they were good too. Service was slow at the start, and a bit hit and miss overall, but we weren't in a huge hurry, so it was fine. Pizzas made it worth it.

    Food was very delicious, would come again! By far the best restaurant I have had in this town. The food runner was very friendly and he was a delight. Their own version of a lemonade/ sprite is delicious! Very refreshing.

    Came in for a quick bite and had a great experience. The cheese bread was delicious especially when paired with the marina sauce. The caesar salad was to die for. Service was great. The pizza was solid but nothing special in my opinion. Well decorated and good seating.

    Service from start to finish was beyond excellent, thanks Nick T! Homemade Root beer and Micro beers are full of flavor. One sip and you're hooked. We came during happy hour when beer is buy one get one free! That was $5 for 2 beers! That's unheard of. Our pizza was The Full Moon and I don't believe we've ever had toppings on a pizza this fresh! This place blows other pizza/micro brewery's out of the water. We travel constantly so this is a HUGE compliment. It was a beautiful April day so the garage door was open for a lovely breeze. Thank you for an enjoyable experience!

    Amazing pizza!!! Dog friendly patio and the staff is super kind, food delivered quickly, and super delicious. I loved the crust, also had friends in our party order chicken wings that looked amazing. Friend ordered a pumpkin beer and said it was really good and has a cinnamon sugar rim. We ordered the house root beer which was good

    Hot Mess, June's pizza of the month!

    The "pizza of the month" was the Hot Mess! What an amazing combination of toppings! Steak, mushrooms, roasted garlic, jalapeños on a white sauce. The service is always great! You won't be disappointed. Worth the trip!

    Gluten free pizza was a frozen crust that was disgusting. I went there because of the gluten free pizza advertised.

    Superior pizza and beer. I prefer this food over Amicus. If there is no place to sit, just take it with you. It's worth it.

    Amazing burger & fries. So delicious. Great outdoor covered area for chill relaxing. Friendly staff…read moreand prompt service. Good value for the quality of the food! Highly recommended (we'd stop again if passing through Salida). Easy parking too! We parked down by the Riverside park in our 21 ft van.

    I would have to give it no stars. I am disabled and I have a border collie that is my service…read moreanimal. I purposely left my service animal outside while I checked the menu to see if I wanted to eat there while I'm traveling in Colorado. I've been hiking the trails and lady and I needed a little rest so we went to what I heard was the cheapest best burger in town. I even wanted to get a beer to relax and charge my phone while I was there but I never made it to the table because the moment I went to take my backpack off a lady came up behind me and told me that she had a reel with the emphasis on real service animal and that if my dog wasn't a real service animal that I should go to the back porch which I wouldn't be opposed to if mine wasn't a service animal. I travel on commercial airlines and trains with her. I go everywhere with her. Well, I responded that she shouldn't assume that my dog wasn't a real service animal and that set her off. She told me that she was the bartender and that I could get the f out of the restaurant if I talked to her that way. And started screaming at me that I was out of control. So I left promptly. I have sent a letter of intent to the owner of the restaurant letting him know that I will be suing both him and her personally for the incident. It shouldn't be that hard to get a burger and a beer when you're disabled. They made me give it stars.
