I just left and I am so upset. I walked in and ordered 4 slices of pizza. The total was $19.07. I placed the change in the tip jar. The man at the cash register said "nice tip I'll get your food when I have done everything else I need to do. We are people too. " I said I had planned to walk out to my car to get more money for the tip. He continued yelling about how rude I was and he was going to get my order when he had nothing else to do as I was the lowest of his priorities. I then turned to the woman making pizza and said - "excuse me is there someone else I can talk to?" She ignored me. I asked again and she said " you need to get out of here before we call the police." I asked for a refund and the man again became severely agitated and said he would give me a refund after he had done everything else and I could wait until he was ready. I asked what I had done wrong. He said " why don't you just take money out of my pocket and out of all the other workers pockets and grabbed $20 out of the tip jar. He then told me to get out. I am shocked, felt unsafe and extremely confused about what the man and the woman's behavior was caused by. Will never go there again. read more

Ordered food for delivery, waited hour and a half, called restaurant to ask where food was, the lady on the phone I spoke to said our food was just dropped off in front of our hotel door... there was no food there. Went down stairs to ask front desk receptionist if anyone came into the lobby or if he had my pizza waiting there for us, he said no one came In or out, I told the lady I was speaking with on the phone that there was no food delivered to my location and she turned the phone away "but I could still hear her talking" and asked the girl standing next to her if she delivered the food and she said yes and said she knocked a bunch of times and no one answered(bulls***) so she left it outside the door. As I proceeded to say my food was never delivered and I wanted a refund she placed me on hold and than told me to call the people who deliver the food and ask them for a refund????? What kind of business is this they did not even try to compensate me for wasting my time and money. Do not order delivery through them! If I could give no stars I would. read more

Solid pizza, garlic knots were just okay. I'd honestly rather have chain pizza or go somewhere else, but it gets the job done. Great service and personable workers too read more

Great NY style pizza that even New Yorkers will enjoy. I was surprised because so many ny style places really miss the mark and wouldn't survive a week in Manhattan. This pizza would. Yes, the place is small, crowded, probably slow when busy and some of the staff are not super service oriented.....uh but that, too, is authentic in many ways.....lol. But all that is fine, and the quality of the pizza is why I give it five stars. By the way, they deliver locally for free, so if you don't want to deal with the place but want to eat the food, just have it delivered. (Note that we went a couple times and ordered whole pies. I can't vouch for the slices but assume they are great too when fresh.) read more

We visited Manitou Springs for an afternoon after staying in Colorado Springs and visiting Garden of the Gods. This place is straight up awesome!! The pizza was so good and the person working was so nice and helpful. She was working by herself and crushing it! It was freezing and the hot pizza was exactly what we needed. Looking back on it I should have bought an entire pizza to go. It would have been the perfect first meal of 2021. read more

I absolutely love Manitou Springs! Pair this chill mountain community with a poppin Pizza joint...badabing, fuggedaboutit!! Just to give you an idea--first thing I see when I walk in are walls filled with eclectic, hip art, posters, pictures and cool quotes from people that should be quoted. As I approached the counter I see a guy to my right flipping a pizza in the air and working it like a champ. In front of me stood a display case with several kinds of pizza that all beckoned me to dive through the glass and go berserk! I maintained self-control and ordered a couple slices of pizza. They came out fresh, hot and deeeeeelish!! My mouth just legit watered. So good! If you find yourself meandering through this cool little town, grab a slice here and enjoy the journey! read more

We went to this place while in Colorado Springs, Colorado because it was recommended by a friend. This place is a family owned business who are originally from New York. The New York style pizza did not disappoint. It was so delicious. The crust was so delicious even just on it's own. If you are ever in Colorado Springs and/or Manitou Springs, Colorado try the delicious pizza in this place. I had a slice of pepperoni pizza and of their Hell Fire pizza. Both delicious, but the Hell Fire is spicy. Finally they have good prices. What more can you ask for? read more

Ruffrano's Hell's Kitchen Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

This is probably more of a 3.5, but I would round up rather than down because the pizza right out of the oven is So. Good. Atmosphere (nighttime): For a Saturday night, a little dead, but could imagine it kicking up a little. I personally prefer the more kicked back environment. Service: Super nice, laid back staff. Quick service. Food: Pizza fresh out of the oven was fantastic. Garlic knots were basically burning my mouth -- lots of garlic and Parmesan . Sauce was a good balance. Dessert was okay -- seemed like it had been in the fridge awhile. Cheesecake to go made better with Ghiradelli chocolate sauce . Came here for the pizza, wasn't disappointed. read more

Fantastic pizza! Perfectly cooked crust as my boyfriend keeps saying. We tried the Hellfire pizza for the spice challenge. Not only was it spicy, but it was flavorful. We will be back next time we drive this way! read more

Highly recommend. The wings are okay but no where near as good as the pizza. Better than any chain pizza you can think of!

This place is sssooo amazing!!! The pizza here is exactly like it came from New York! I used to live in New York and it's like I'm there again!!! I would 10000% recommend this to other people that're gonna come out here sometime, and this place is absolutely phenomenal!!!! Hands down 110/10!!!! Great job guys!!!! read more

I was out talking to some local residents and requested some local food spots. A woman suggested to head to Ruffrano's Hell's Kitchen Pizza. I decided to go last night, it was a quaint spot on a side street. Black and red building, flames all over a great way to start. You walk inside and it's a little out dated but I feel that is apart of the good pizza experience. I ordered the Hellfire Pizza and a regular slice of cheese. The Hellfire was a little spicy but that's how I like it. The cheese was good as well, with some good seasoning on it. Both slices were crispy. The reason I'm giving it 3 stars is due to all the great slices I've had in the past. However, it most definitely is the best slice in Colorado Springs! read more

We went here because I saw a review that this place has the best gluten free pizza. I agree. Most GF pizza has a very thin crust, but this one was thicker and had the closest consistency to regular crust. The staff is super friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I'm not usually a fan of big slices of greasy pizza, but this pizza was really good!! I ordered the one slice of pepperoni pizza with 3 garlic knots and a drink. Upon walking into the location, it was rather busy, but we somehow managed to find a table within a couple minutes. After ordering, the food it took about 10 minutes to come to the table, but it was definitely hot! The pizza was delicious, however, the garlic knots were a bit of a disappointment. They were soft on the inside, but it was hard to enjoy past the burnt outside edges. There was a side of marinara sauce included, but it didn't help the knots too much. The slice of pizza definitely made up for it though, so I would recommend ordering just the two slices of pizza option instead. Overall though, good food, and the soda (Coca-Cola) was nice and cold too! read more

Ruffrano's Hell's Kitchen Pizza - 1 Pepperoni Slice, 3 Garlic Knots, Marinara Sauce - Pizza Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

I love local pizza places where you can grab a quick slice and a drink. We stopped in, ordered a couple of slices, and they came with garlic knots, which was nice. The pizza was good, but they didn't have many options to choose from. The garlic knots were inedible. Most of the time, a garlic knot is buttery and soft. These were hard and dry. Maybe we just went at an off time, but I probably won't try the garlic knots again. read more

We got a large Hellfire. It was good, I liked the crust of the pizza, and the slices were New York style just as they say but, I think it could use more toppings. We also got the garlic Parmesan wings and they were loaded up with garlic parm and were pretty tasty! read more

The place is not much to look at but don't let that sway you -- the pizza and calazone were amazing with the most delectable crust and top notch cheese. Best pizza we've had in a long time! Staff was great and we highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This place is always super busy so I usually avoid it but I have had the other Ruffrano's in the Springs so I wanted to try this one and it wasn't the same. The pizza was ok but not as good as I would expect. My boyfriend said his was really good so I think it's just the piece I got maybe, I just like more cheese. The other Ruffrano's was amazing so I'm not sure. He also got he fire knots and loved them as well! read more

Huge slices! Large knots (garlic, etc). Good prices, and super fun and friendly staff. Good meal after the Manitou incline. 2 slices is enough to fill any 1 person, given thier size (see photo with slices next to a $1 bill). This explains the price for a whole pizza being over $20. Restaurant area is smaller, but nice. It's located super close to the incline. Pizza was a bit greasy, but delicious and well cooked/prepared. Crispy crust and the right amount of other ingredients. They have a good variety of pies also. read more

I ordered a 12" gluten free pizza with veggies and a small Greek salad. The drink machine had flat, warm coke and no ice. The salad was okay. The pizza looked like a cheese pizza that had been baked and then they threw raw veggies on top. Disappointing. It also cost $25 which to me is a lot for a pizza and small side salad. read more

Pros: by the penny arcade, quaint atmosphere, open later Cons: starting to clean up around 830 for being closed at 11, vacuuming while we eat, kinda rude when explaining to order at the front, and half burned pizza(other half was decent), garlic knots hang out until ordered an then just reheated. I'm not picky, but for a $20 pizza and $5 for garlic knots, I expected more read more

Ruffrano's Hell's Kitchen Pizza - Alright half a pizza, but apparently half their oven is hotter so it burns. - Pizza Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

It's a total 'luck of the draw' with Ruffrano's. One day you come in and the pizza is delicious, fresh, and truly reminiscent of NYC-style pies. Other times you come in and get a piece of dry cardboard and wonder if you're in the same spot you were last time. They do run a decent deal - $6.66 for a slice, 3 knots, and a soda. Their slices, like a lot of single-serve places, are just reheated from previously-baked pies that are sitting on display. Key question to ask before getting your hopes up - how long these slices been sitting out? read more

Sicilian pizza, so excited!!! Off our diet for the end of our vacation. Be aware the Sicilian on the menu says an hour but we waited over 2 hours...smells and look delicious. We wondered around manitou so no worries on the wait. So worth the wait just got home. The crust is perfectly crisp, cheese extra creamy, toppings are ample...just order it ahead or relax and enjoy manitou for manitou. read more

Some of the best garlic knots I've ever had. Amazing! The pizza slices were also great. We got our order for takeout because of COVID restrictions, though, so the slices weren't the freshest by the time we ate them, but they were still good. I tried the Hellfire, Grandma's Pie, Grandpa's Pie, pepperoni and more. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Crack. Spicy Crack. Not nasty plumbers crack, or the white powdery stuff that gets you landed in prison... but crack all the same. Just don't snort the sauce. It could burn... Totally addicting and oh so delicious. You just might feel like you need rehab when you get done with this place. In fact I'm late for an appointment with a man in a white coat... just one more stop at Ruffrano's before I go... read more

Very much like the New York Pizza I ate so much of when I live in NYC. Quality pizza but the service was abrupt and not so nice. So great pizza but they need to work on their employees being nice to their customers. I might have given the pizze 4 stars had the employees been nice. happy eating Steve read more

Great joint for pizza! Excellent crust and toppings. A little pricey @ 9$ for 2 slices, but quality sometimes costs extra. Bottom Line: Go here for some excellent pizza. You won't be disappointed. read more

Summer time in Manitou are crazy. Just a drive thru town can take 20 minutes easy. Ordering take out from this place it's best to call ahead. We ordered take out mainly because I saw the garlic knots on the menu. I havent had garlic knots in a long time. I was so excited. When we arrived the order was ready for us. I haven't been to New York city before but I am starting to wonder if "new york style pizza" means under Cooked. Every place around here seems to under cook their pizza's. Toppings were very skimpy. Our 16 inch WAs about 18$ definitely over priced. Sauce was OK, not consistent thru every bite. I liked the bites with more sauce. And the garlic knots mmmm they were good too. I like very buttery garlic knots. These were not very buttery. Tasty, herbs and parmesian cheese. I think I liked the crust/ dough here the best. Even though it was a little under Cooked. read more

Ruffrano's Hell's Kitchen Pizza - It's a box... - Pizza Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

SOOOOO DISAPPOINTING! I had heard good things about this place and had been meaning to try it out for quite some time so after today, to say there's a bad flavor in my mouth seems highly appropriate. Walking in the selection of pizza was kinda awesome. Mac and cheese pizza?!!? Sounds good! Maybe next time though, I'm finally feeling up to real food after a recent bout of food poisoning (not from this restaurant!) so I'm going for the Hellfire and the 4 cheese. The girl at the counter takes our order and seems unimpressed with life itself, but I try not to be a judgmental asshole and I'm having a good day with my family so I chalk it up to she's having a bad day and take my seat with my husband and son. I was just about finished with two rather good pieces of pizza when I found a shortish, coarse hair looking fiber that definitely wasn't any part of pizza. It looked like dog hair. Now I didn't want to be that asshole who eats nearly a full meal and demands a refund for my food. I've worked in a restaurant and I know the shit people try to pull. So I tell Ms. Can't Be Bothered I found a hair and maybe they could use lint rollers before shift? She gave exactly zero fucks. Grrrrrr, okay, whatever. Probably won't come back, I'm thinking maybe I'll give a three star review because service is so bad... until... I get up to bus our own dishes, because they have you pay and tip before you realize you're getting exactly zero service, and catch the girl very obviously talking shit about me to the cook. I gave her my most sarcastic smile, got the rest of our shit and got the fuck out of there. I've had pets my whole life almost and now have a child so I've eaten a ton of hair unintentionally, but finding hair in food in restaurants is unhygienic in general so I'd imagine that would be worth an apology, acknowledgement and at least an offer of some actual customer service. Not at this place though. Disappointing as I said because the pizza was decent and the crust was pretty damn good. I can't abide by paying to be treated like shit though... read more

Small place but they offered GF crust. Gave it a shot and it was really really good. Homemade not the frozen garbage. Overall the pizza was hot and tasty. A little slow but worth a visit for sure. read more

Let me preface this review by saying that the pizza is absolutely delicious. I especially enjoy the four cheese white pizza and the hell fire pizza. However, all three times that I have visited this location I have been completely unimpressed and disappointed in staff. Each time, the staff have been rude, unhelpful, and act inconvenienced by our presence. My fiancé and I arrived at 8pm on a Wednesday night to get a bite to eat. The staff had already put the food away and looked as though they closed down for the night. Just to be sure, we asked what time they closed and were informed it was not until 11. Both staff members begrudgingly showed us the cold pizza they had remaining and took our orders. Despite the good food, I have no intention of going back to this location. Save yourself the irritation and go to the sister location off of circle where staff actually appreciate your business. read more

LOVE this pizza. NY style is my fav. Great crust! I've only been here once so I can't say too much about it, but I was impressed. The service was very friendly. It's a tiny little place and I imagine it can get crowded. It was a great experience for me! read more

We came around 1:30-2pm ish and there was just one guy working (didn't catch his name) and he was super nice and chill under the pressure of a ton of people coming in. We got a cheese slice and a veggie slice with the knots, it was outstanding. Probably some of the best pizza I've ever had (and for 7 bucks for a giant slice and knots it's hard to beat) the paint on the walls and all of the posters and stuff was super cool, super nice vibe for a place in Manitou. Definitely a MUST in Manitou Springs. read more

Pizza was great, had it once then tonight I placed an order at 9:10, they close at 10pm. Went to go pick up the pizza they said would be done at 9:30, went in and the order was cancelled by the only person there who wasn't even doing anything upon arrival. No notification or anything. Thank you for wasting my time:) read more

My wife and I recently moved to the Springs from FL a few months ago and have struggled to find a good N.Y. styles pizza place. Hell's Kitchen sure did hit the spot. The cheese blend is delicious, the sauce isn't overly sweet, and the crust is baked to crispy perfection. We tried the plain cheese, pepperoni, and the signature Hellfire slice - all delicious!! We also tried the garlic knots, while not the best I've ever had, they are still better than most places around the springs. Can't wait to order from here again! read more

Cool and inexpensive little place with pizza by the slice, salads, and sodas. Exactly what we were looking for!

Stopped here for pizza. It was delicious. We ordered 2 full pizzas for the family of 5. Currently you can go in and order and then go to a little park close by to eat. No indoor seating. Pizza was good. Also ordered a house salad which was average for a to go salad. Kids loved the pizza. Great stop after hiking through Garden of the Gods. read more
