Overview

About This Establishment

The Green Chile Pizza arrives blistered at the edges, with a thin crust that snaps when you bite and stringy cheese that stays molten. Peppery New Mexico chiles bring a kick that lingers, while the crust keeps its crunch as grease glazes the bite. The Beer Cheese Pretzel hits with a sharp salt bite and a perfect balance of brine and grip. Counter service means you grab a table after you grab a number, and the vibe is busy but welcomingβ€”great for a post-hike feed and a cold beer.
