Lucca served my group at poppy's, the service and the food were fantastic, I highly recommend the green chili burger.

Just ate at Poppy's Pizza and Grill for the first time. Food was very good, but the server - Lucca - was exceptional. He was polite, made some excellent recommendations, and made our day after being tired from a long hike. This guy is great. read more

Great food!! Pizza was amazing. Traveling here, food and restaurant have a local vibe. Great for families. Our server Lucca was super friendly and accommodating. read more

We stopped by Poppy's on a weekday night for dinner because they had a good selection of salads, and that's what we were all in the mood for. We also wanted to sit outside along the water because the view was amazing. Unfortunately, that came at a cost. We were quoted 15-20 minutes for a table, so we agreed. However, we continued to watch people walking in and getting seated at inside tables right away. At the 45-minute mark, I went up to the host and asked just to be seated inside. Suddenly, a table was ready for us outside. Along with another family that checked in about 20-30 minutes after us. A manager swung by soon after we were seated and dropped off a plate of onion rings on both our tables for the long wait (although the other party's wait didn't even compare to ours). The onion rings were delicious, even though they didn't come with any sort of dipping sauce. Before getting the onion rings, we had already decided that we wanted the fried asparagus, so we still ordered them, too. It was a lot of fried food. LOL But soooo good. The salads come in a small or large bowl. Since we had so many appetizers, we all just ordered the small. I chose the Cobb Salad. It was amazing. And very, very filling for a "small" bowl. There were a lot of ingredients, which I appreciate in a salad. If I was hungry, I could definitely polish off a large bowl. In the end, sitting outside was a great experience, and the food was all excellent, but the 45-minute wait sucked. read more

Poppy's Pizza & Grill - Entrance near river - Pizza Near Me - Estes Park, Colorado

Three to four stars for sure because my family who had pizza really loved it and thought it was great. Three stars for my burger meal - it sadly wasn't anything special and seemed like a premade patty thrown on the grill rather than something more fresh. It was overcooked too (I had requested medium rare). I was really excited to be able to have their sweet potato fries as someone who eats gluten-free. Several (or maybe many) of them had some really burnt ends - I just personally wouldn't have let those out of the kitchen. The outside seating area looked fantastic. We ended up inside so we didn't have to wait as long, and it was fine. But loud/just lots of noise. One of those places you have to speak up a bit so the people at your table can hear you. I would probably come back again and give another dish a try, but I don't think it would be my first choice. read more

Poppy's Pizza & Grill - Burger on gluten free bread and GF sweet potato fries - Pizza Near Me - Estes Park, Colorado

Food was mediocre at best. No flavor on onion rings or cheddar fries. That's pretty hard to mess up. Gluten free crust is GROSS!! Doughy, flavorless and would never crisp up even after sending it back. Service is slow. We were a party of 8 seated in the smallest corner of the place. We were told no other seats were available. However the restaurant was empty. Not 30 minutes later a party of 10 came in and they pushed all the chairs and tables together to accommodate that party in the middle of the restaurant. I do not recommend this place. There are much better establishments in Estes Park.. We only stayed because we were starving after hiking through Rocky Mountain national Park . read more

The outdoor patio along the river is very nice to see. They allow dogs on the patio and we were very happy about that because we were camping nearby and didn't want to leave our dog at the campground. The servers and all of the staff were very kind and helpful. Our food came out relatively quickly and everything was really tasty and well done. We've been coming to ask Park for over 20 years, but I've never come to this restaurant and have been wanting to try it. We're happy we came. read more

We visited Papi's Pizza & Grill in Estes Park and had a mixed experience that didn't quite justify the price. My bacon avocado burger was $19, and for that price I expected something a bit more memorable. Instead, it was a well‑done patty with a scoop of avocado on the side and no cheese--something I wasn't even asked about. Not awful, but definitely the most disappointing burger I've had at that price point. Didn't care much for the onion rings. My wife ordered the Mexican pizza, which turned out to be very different from what we imagined. The refried beans replaced the sauce, giving it more of a soft, sopa‑style feel. Creative idea, but not what we were hoping for. She did enjoy her wedge salad, and our daughter helped her finish it. My son had a cheese pizza and said it was "OK," which pretty much sums up the whole meal.With the total coming out to over $100 for four people, the value_for_money just wasn't there. Not the worst meal we've had, but not one we'd go out of our way to repeat. read more

Doing some shopping in Estes Park and could not ignore the aroma from Poppy's. Both inside and outdoor seating and the seating is quite spacious. We were seated immediately and served quickly after.

Local place with just the right menu full of plenty of options. Poppy's offer sizeable portions and fair prices and our service was great I opted for a sandwich, ham and gruyere cheese with caramelized onions - sorta like a patty melt with ham. Hit the spot , only criticism would be another slice of ham would have better balanced the sandwich Substituted the soup it comes with for some excellent crunchy fries. read more

This was a great dinner for our family of 9!! Luca was a great server! Thanks! Yummy Pizza!

We have been going to Poppy's for years and have never been disappointed. During the warmer weather we love to sit outside and listen to the creek go by. The food: the poppers with raspberry sauce are heavenly and the pizza is perfection! We enjoy the fact that the wait people are from countries around the world. Our waiter this past visit was Lucca. He was charming, attentive and extremely interesting to talk with. Always a great experience at Poppy's. read more

The service was alright. Food was good. It was clean but not super nice, seemed pretty old. Waited a while for the outside on a Tuesday afternoon but they could've sat us inside right away. read more

Very mediocre these days. Chicken on the Cesar salad was very old, dry, overcooked and cold. No clams in the chowder. It was potato soup. Back to Momma Rosie's next door. Good Italian. read more

I hate that this place doesn't have the best reviews because we loved it. We had the Thai Pizza and Nonna's Pizza and they were both delicious! Our server was great too, very nice. Sitting outside next to the creek was beautiful. read more

The pizza was wonderful. Small feeds 2. The Spice Road mini wedge salad was amazing!!

The pizza quality was equivalent to a gas station and it took forever to get our food. Sitting by the creek was the only enjoyable part.

If you have any allergy, never go here. And after an allergic reaction the brown hair owner lady did not care. Never EVER go to this place. Management was horrible. The only thing that was amazing was the staff! Our waitress was awesome. The dark hair owner was the devi.. she was that woman! . GO ELSEWHERE AND RECORD IT IF YOU GO. Everything surround this place is 100! She's rather her customers die than ask if you have an allergy. read more

Another great pizza restaurant to try in Estes Park! I got the Straziante Individual Pizza. It was spicy, which I like! But I wouldn't say it was super spicy to where most people wouldn't enjoy it. If you have a really sensitive tongue, it might be best to avoid it then. But I loved everything about this place! A clean and well decorated dining room, attentive staff, great location, and tasty food! I will definitely return when I come back to Estes Park! read more

A very homey and cozy restaurant serving up comfort food. I had the soup and sandwich meal, which was half good. The vegan chili was outstanding. I would've ordered a whole bowl of it, if I knew how good it was. However, the sandwich was okay. The bread was what really threw it off. It was so hard I couldn't eat it, so I basically just ate the sandwich without the bread. The pizzas were great and really good sizes. Be aware that the speciality pizzas are a lot more expensive than the basic pizzas. Overall, a quaint restaurant with some good comfort food. read more

Sorry to say we had high hopes for this dinner after reading reviews. We placed the order to go and made our way to our hotel about 1.5 miles away. The pizza dough was thick and gummy. Not crisp at all. We had the Poppys special pizza. It was so heavy that me, my son, and husband could only eat 1 piece each. $40 pizza. And we could only eat 3 slices of a large. read more

Such a pleasant experience, eating under the canopy alongside the Big Thompson River. We ate salmon, soup and salad which tasted great and seemed high quality. Our server Luca was the icing on the cake. We had several questions and special requests and he handled everything with professionalism and kindness. We're a bi-lingual family and Luca easily bounced between English and Spanish so that everything was clear and efficient. We spent a couple hours dining at Poppy's and it was a highlight of our visit. read more

Lucca was fantastic. Street corn quaters were a pleasant surprise and the pizza was very good. Nice thick crust and plenty of toppings. Definitely recommend coming down here for a good well priced meal. read more

Nice people but the meat tastes like deer ankles... Don't get the turkey or chicken... maybe pizza is good I don't know didn't try it read more

I had higher hopes based on the menu but four of us had mediocre meals. Salmon sliders didn't have a lot flavor and 2/3 were undercooked. The mini pizza had too much cheese it. 3 of us got sweet potato fries, one undercooked, one cooked well, and one overcooked. The fish sandwich was small and sad looking. Don't get me wrong, food was just fine for lunch but adjust expectations. read more

Food: 4/5 The food was generally delicious, and very high quality. I ordered the Spice Road wedge salad, Poppy's Special pizza, and a lemonade; my wife had the Gruyère and onion grilled cheese. The lemonade tasted hand-made and fresh. The salad was perhaps my favorite thing I ordered; the odd combination of curry and balsamic flavors was both unique and incredible. The pizza wasn't my favorite, but for matters of preference; I prefer crispy thin-crust pizzas, and the pizza at Poppy's is thick and doughy. It was clearly made with high-quality ingredients, as the mozzarella cheese and sausage both stood out for their strong flavor. Everyone else who ordered a pizza loved theirs. Service: 5/5 I have no complaints in this category. We were seated quickly and served with enthusiasm. Our orders were all correct, drinks were topped off, and our table was frequently cleared of unused dishes. Ambiance: 5/5 The interior is well-decorated, clean, and quiet. We sat by a window overlooking a stone walkway and the river, which was very scenic and enjoyable. I liked the wine glasses on display, and my wife loved several of the paintings. Overall, this is a great place to stop for lunch. I somewhat regret not ordering the battered fish sandwich, but if you like thicker pizza, this is a great place to get it. The drinks, salads, soups, and appetizers were equally tasty. read more

My wife and I tried this local pizza spot and thought the food itself was pretty good. However, the inside atmosphere felt dated and more like something you'd find in a grandmother's living room than a modern restaurant. We ordered a small pizza, jalapeño poppers, and a specialty Coke with lime and coconut, and the total came out to around $50, which felt very expensive for what we received. Customer service was average--nothing memorable either way. If the weather is nice, sitting outside would likely be the better option since it's right by the river walk. While the food was good, we wouldn't recommend this place based on the price point. read more

We stopped for lunch at this venue and really enjoyed sitting out on the patio. The view of the river walk area is fantastic, there were even elk on the other side of the river! We both got pizzas and shared a salad. All our food was delicious and came out hot! The menu provides options for different tastes that fit vegetarian and meat lovers. The service was great, waitress was helpful in navigating the menu and kept our drinks refilled. We travel with a pet and they were great at getting us seated on the patio and bringing our dog water. read more

Very Mid - for having pizza in the name the pizza wasn't great. Kind of like frozen pizza but more bready

This was our first time eating here was sat immediately. The place was super cute and our server was hostess was super nice! I love how the menu is not over whelming! They have pizza selection a burger selection and a sandwich selection! Not a million things to choose from. I don't like when there is so much cause then it makes it hard to choose. For my appetizer I got hummus w olives and pita bread which was really good. For my main food I got the chicken primavera pizza which had chicken, broccoli black olives fresh tomatoes and mozzarella and OMG IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!! Over all server was perfect. Food was perfect. It was all perfect. read more

Poppy's Pizza & Grill - Chicken primavera pizza - Pizza Near Me - Estes Park, Colorado

I've been coming to Estes Park for over 20 years. Food in a tourist town can be a rough experience. Poppy's is one of a handful of spots I've tried and feel willing to come back to. Today, we arrived shortly after opening (11am) on busy Memorial Day. We were seated right away and snagged a table on the terrace. The terrace is my preferred place to sit - the sounds of the river, the people/dog watching along the adjacent path, and the fresh breeze all add to the ambiance of the dining experience. Our server today was already busy managing all outdoor tables, and she was lovely, friendly, and efficient. I typically order a pizza and today my daughter and I split a small Mediterranean. You are allowed 1 substitution of topping so we switched out the artichoke (I love 'em but my daughter doesn't) for chicken. I forgot to ask for light cheese as the pizzas have a thick layer of cheese. Just something to keep in mind depending on your cheese preference. Toppings are tucked underneath the cheese layer. Our hiking plans had gone awry this morning so we ordered two tall glasses of lemonade to turn the proverbial phrase into reality! :-) Both the raspberry & regular were refreshing and tart. Poppy's is worth a visit while in Estes, especially if you love reoutdoor dining spaces. read more

This a decent pizza spot in Estes. We were able to get a seat outside, which is right next to a creek. The outside seating is cozy and very pretty! The food itself was good. The medium was perfect for two people. The cost is not unreasonable. However, it was $4 for a fountain drink which is a bit steep in my opinion. Overall, a good place to eat! read more
