Nestled in the heart of CHAMA, NM, this restaurant offers a unique dining experience, particularly known for its wood-fired pizzas crafted from a 34-year-old yeast dough. While the ambiance boasts a classy decor with an inviting outdoor fire pit, customer experiences vary widely. Diners express disappointment over inconsistent food quality, including tough steaks and bland salads, while others rave about the enjoyable pizzas and friendly service. Although the service charge is automatic, many appreciate the attentive staff and excellent beer selection. For a memorable meal in this small town, it's a mixed bag that occasionally shines amidst the critiques.

We ordered a pizza and a Caesar salad. I’m not sure if it’s particularly difficult to make pizza in northern NM, but the sauce and cheese were quite bland. As for the Caesar salad, it was meant for takeout, but they left the romaine spears whole, which felt like a lazy preparation. Additionally, they didn’t provide a plastic knife for the takeout order. I would recommend exploring other dining options in Chama.

What a treat in the heart of Chama, NM (in the middle of no where). The wood fired pizza was great! The crust is made with dough from yeast that is apparently 34 years old. The brussel sprouts were a great compliment to the meat heavy pizza. Thisplace seems pretty new and it stands out in the small town of Chama. They did a great job with the layout and decor. Theoutside fire pit was neat.
