    Got a pizza from here and it was overpriced ($30 for a simple pizza) and charged for tip automatically, even though it was a take out order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On top of that, slipped on their slick stairs going down, got a hurt back, and every single slice went in the dirt.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Went in and told them what happened, to see if they could replace the pizza and the guy responded "what do you want me to do about it". You'd think when a tip was included, so would some hospitality, but that was not the case. Will not spend my money here again.

    I thought I wrote a review for this place when we went in March. The last night we were there, we didn't want to cook and craved some wings and pizza. Found this place and it is my type of hole-in-the-wall. Walked in to some great music that continued through the night (can't remember which employee soundtrack, but kudos...especially with LCD!). It was not very crowded on a Thursday night, but that allowed us to play shuffle board while we waited for our food. We ordered the Homecoming Queen pizza, bread sticks, and Colorado wings. We almost got another pizza, but this was plenty for 5 of us. The bread sticks are perfectly seasoned and got us started while we played shuffleboard and drank our beers. Then came the wings that were dry, big enough, and cooked to perfection. The pizza was solid and we had enough to bring a couple slices home before the car ride home. After dinner, we shot some pool and the girls pinned their dollar bills on the wall to find the next time we are back!

    Just minutes from Purgatory Resort. Opens at 4 and if you don't get your pizza order in between 4 and 5, your pizza might not be ready until 8:30pm. People love this place. Bartenders/employees super friendly and judging by the same faces 2 days in a row, the regulars love this place. Pizza was really good. Wings were alright.

    I don't know if it can be seen from the photo or not how colossally burnt and hard the chicken…read morefried steak was. To her credit, our kind waitress had the kitchen quickly make me a new one, but honestly it was still borderline inedible. This time, due to the salt. Not only was the meat heavily salted, but the breading was overly salted as well. I couldn't even taste the meat or the breading (or even the potatoes) because it wasn't a giant plate of salt. I ate all the broccolini, a few bites of potatoes, and a few bites of steak. I hate that all restaurants, because of patrons and their salt-conditioned palates, serve the most sodium-laden monstrosities possible. I didn't feel good eating it, I didn't want to eat more than a few bites, and I left the restaurant full of regret for the bites I did take. On the plus side, the beer is exceptionally tasty, and my kids both enjoyed their meals. We are leaving tomorrow and so we won't be back, but I wouldn't be back otherwise as well.

Food- 4 stars Service- 5 stars Ambience- 4 1/2 stars Our server (I think Isaac?) was fantastic. He was super busy but always took care of us. We all ordered drinks and some food items. The spinach/artichoke dip was a bit heavy and overcooked. You def could not dip your chips in it. I got the poblano chx fried steak. It was good but also a bit overcooked. Some folks got burgers and pizza and they all said it was fine. Go for the service and drinks!! Fun atmosphere. Sorry- it was too crazy trying to get pics.

We started with the mozzarella appetizer, which was hot, fresh, and a great way to kick off the meal. We ordered a small Canadian bacon pizza and a small hamburger & black olive pizza, and both were served piping hot with fresh ingredients and great flavor. The crust was delicious, and everything tasted like it had just come out of the oven. If you're looking for great pizza, a lively atmosphere, and efficient service even during a rush, Brown Dog Pizza is absolutely worth the stop!

Our only complaint has nothing to do with the food. Their website states that they are not pet friendly, but when I picked up our order, I asked because it seemed odd for a place called Brown Dog Pizza. They confirmed that dogs are welcome on the outdoor patio, which was great to hear. It would be helpful if they updated their website to reflect that so people traveling with dogs don't skip this place. We ended up taking our pizza down to the creek to eat, and it made for a perfect meal. We'd definitely order from Brown Dog Pizza again!

We walked in and were immediately greeted by one of the bartenders and told to sit wherever we liked. We found a nice booth off to the side of the bar area. Our server Patrick stopped by the booth and pointed us to the food menu in the chalkboard. We also had another server but I didn't catch her name. They were both very friendly and attentive. I ordered the special for the day. A green chili Rueben & fries. Wow, this sandwich was so delicious! What a creative combination of flavors. Even the slaw in the Rueben included the green chilis. The fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered the spicy BBQ pulled pork tacos. He said the tacos were amazing and the flavors were off the charts. They were topped with a slaw and pickles. The side of "tortilla chips" had a dusting of a very flavorful spice. Not sure what it was but very tasty. Looking over the menu, this restaurant has some very creative dishes. We can't wait to stop by again! My husband ordered
