The hard cider was delicious The pizza was just ok though. It was simultaneously burnt crust on one side and still doughy/undercooked on the other. Flavor of the toppings was good. I must admit I had a tinge of food envy when my friends Caesar salad was delivered- the dressing looked creamy. If I ever go back, I'm skipping the pizza and going for that Caesar salad.

My friend who came here as well tried to prevent him from driving off to be met with drama from others at the bar including the bartender. Bad look for a bar, especially with those fines the bar and server would get if he was caught. We didn't drink, getting a kombucha instead wondering if we should stay and felt very unwelcomed. Hopefully the owners take giving some one too much alcohol and driving seriously because on 14 it would be easy to cause wreck.

First time we came I ordered a Margherita pizza with half order of the house salad. Pizza came out about 45 mins later and was completely mushy and dough was raw. Had to send it back to get recooked. It was better the second time cooked. They gave me a free beer for next time to make up for it. Awesome on their part. 11/12/23 Came back to give it a second try and it was worse than the first. Ordered a Margherita Pizza and Caesar salad. After waiting 40 mins, we were brought a cheese pizza and the waitress said unfortunately my chef did not pick his battles, we are out of Caesar dressing we asked about why we have a cheese pizza and they were out of basil and didn 't put mozzarella cheese. No communication, we would 've gladly ordered a different pizza. I really wanted to like this place but driving here from Albuquerque twice and having issues is not acceptable. We left hungry and drove back to Albuquerque. I 'll stick to the local pizza places.

Such a waste of potential on this great location. We used to come here a lot after bike rides and hikes.

The service was never speedy but the ambiance was nice and the guest taps made the wait not such a big deal. And the pizza was pretty good. Then they did away with the guest beers. There is just something off with the house beers. They've always been bad but there were other options where there is no other option now. The pizza isn't what it used to be either. It's most likely to come out cold and forty five minutes later and definitely not as good as it once was. I keep trying this place every six months or so because I want so bad for it to be better but this past weekend may be my last visit.

This place is a one person show and the service is slow due to her handling all the ordering, serving and much more. It is worth the wait!!!!! We arrived on a sunny afternoon and found a spot under one of the outdoor umbrellas. We were not alone on the patio as you had families, and friends getting together and hungry hikers waiting for their pizza and beer. We ordered the salad and pizza along with a couple pints. The beer was fantastic and a great pairing to my pizza and salad. The salad was filled with fresh greens and and the dressing complimented the entire meal. My pizza had a nice crunchy crust and just enough cheese the strung out when you grabbed your next slice. We will be back and believe me, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!
