    Great stop for lunch after a long morning of work in downtown Boulder. Hey have a good variety of lunch specials I went the traditional route and got slice of pizza with a drink for under $7. I like that it's a little area with seating right next to the meal Prep, the staff was friendly and helpful. As all things in Boulder you have to pay for your hourly Peking unless you are lucky enough to find a side street free area. Right off the corner of the busy street mall area. I would like to see if this location would ever change the basic blend of cheese to hold the sharp cheddar or orange cheese that I believe to be combined with mozzarella? The choices for adds on are fresh and ready to go; I noted that ALOT of people walked in and out for their orders so you can tell that people stop by often!

    Visiting from San Diego and stumbled upon this gem! Absolutely delish! Definitely will be coming back here when we are visiting again.

    BAKE OR TAKE Ok, I was visiting the area and stopped by this place. Not a bad find. BUT NOTE! I called ahead so the pizza was ready when I arrived (the temp was 32 and dropping and I was on foot!) so it was a surprise to walk into this place and 1. have the person at the counter not know about my order (they had to check with another person), and 2. For that said person to walk over to a fridge and hand me an uncooked pizza They're great though, they baked it there, I just wasn't aware this was how they worked. Also, you can create your own pizza...I liked that option. Ill do that the next time I'm in the area.

    These directions are kind of ridiculous. The whole point of ordering pizza is to not have to babysit your dinner as it's cooking.

    Have ordered pizzas to go from here a couple of times and still honestly trying to figure out why there's such a high price point for a take-and-bake pizza. The pricing is the same, if not more, than other spots around town of similar (or even higher) quality where they do the work for you and it's ready to eat. A 2-topping 14" large pizza is $17.99, and if you want a topping on only half the pizza, you still get charged for a full topping. Wtf? I don't particularly love the fact that take-and-bake is the only option here, especially given how overly complicated the baking instructions are. The whole point of ordering pizza is to have a no-frills night in and not have to babysit your meal as it's cooking, am I right? But N&W makes it impossible because they specifically tell you to pop the stupid dough bubbles every few minutes (and they make it very clear to follow the instructions to "avoid pizza shame.") Ugh. I want to love this place so badly, especially because of how close it is to home and the fact that they seem to really support hiring kids that are new to the working world. But come on, it's take-and-bake pizza for the love of Pete, and just because wealthy Boulder moms who want a night off from cooking can afford a $20 simple pie, doesn't mean you should capitalize on it. The value here is mediocre at best.

    Came in on a cold spring day with a friend passing thru Colorado. Saw the Yelp freebie for check in and was excited he could try the wings that are so highly reviewed. So, 5 stars for flavor and quality - but 3 to the server for not understanding the Yelp check in freebie offer of 6 free wings with the order. His thinking it was expired even though I showed him the current offer - in the end, he gave us 3 for free. Can't wait to come back to try another slice - had essentially the Aegean? The slice I had is not on the website menu. Loved watching them prep the pies and salads - nice way to spend a chilly afternoon!

    We ordered half chicken and slice of pizza. We showed them that we had Yelp checkin offer, they accepted it right away, which was good. But then the guy turns around and speaks to his coworker "Who eats wings at 2pm in the afternoon ", loud enough for us to hear him. Well I do and its none of your business. After that the entire experience was downhill. Honestly the food is good. The pizzas are slightly expensive for yhe location but tasted good. We ordered slice of Thai pizza and it was good. There was lot of Olive oil in it. Also, half slow-roasted chicken was well marinated and cooked nicely. I did not like that they cooked chicken with skin. But for $7, it was good and large portion. We were here on Christmas day and every one was wished except us. We dined over there and no one asked us if we needed anything, but the servers asked everyone else. So, overall my experience was not good. But yes, the food was good. I would not come here again though coz experience does matter to me.

The Philly was super greasy and the cheese was on the side. There was so much gristle and fat it was hard to eat. The bun was also super crunchy instead of crispy and light. The chicken was also terrible. It was a little thinly sliced chicken breast, that maybe got pounded out too thin and then fried. It needed a lot more seasoning- the sweet pickle slices were also contrasting to the honey mustard- it just left a literal bad taste in my mouth- lastly, the fries I recieved were soft, cold, and unsalted. We were only in CO for a week and this was the worst thing we ate.

One of our favorite things during the pandemic when restaurants could reopen was picking up their in house chicken pot pie. It's my husband's absolute favorite chicken recipe which I used to make myself. Though I am unable to make it now that l have lost a lot of vision and not a single one we have bought elsewhere was sufficient until we ordered from The Post Boulder. After a short time it became too labor intensive for the Post to make in house back then with limited staff so they contracted with a pie facility in Denver. Compared to their own it was merely adequate so we moved on to there other in house specialties. As we were ordering gold specials for Sunday!s big game, I saw that the daily specials now include Chicken Pot Pies Thursday's so we went to try it. This ficus a personal size freshly made this morning it was nice to have for a meal with a side salad. But though good, it was not as hearty as the one we loved 5 years ago. Staff was friendly and attentive and my husbands favorite beer (El Korn) was on tap and my iced tea was customized perfectly . We even brought most of the salad home as it was a large serving for a lunch. We'll be back on Sunday for our wings and other treats that we need to pick up. And we can come back again for a lunch or dinner as the have more items for people like me who cannot eat fried chucked, with their grilled chicken or salmon.
