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.

One of two restaurants in Chama that I consider really good (the other is Outlaw BBQ). On our most recent visit, we had 3 pizzas: buffalo chicken (a special not on the regular menu), Yard Bird, and pepperoni. All were really good; the buffalo chicken was my favorite. I advise ordering, up front, everything you plan to drink. Having finished a great milk stout beer, and there being no sign of our food, I went back to get another and was firmly told to go to the end of the (food ordering) line. Before I got to order again, most of the beers, including the milk stout, had run dry. It was a half hour before I made it back to our table, but I did beat the pizzas.

Here 's another restaurant review brought to you by a visit to Chama (2019 . (We 're going back for sure at some point! If you 've never been to Chama it 's pretty quaint, and almost feels like you 're on a movie set. I think the Main Street is all of three city blocks, but... it 's full of activity (being a ski resort! ... and history (we rode a coal-engine train! Feeling cold and hungry we stumbled upon this gem... don 't let the exterior fool you. It used to be a drug store then it was converted into a restaurant called LOCAL which serves farm-to-table, local organic dishes. Of course, with me, pizza is always on the menu... but how can you blame me when the visual alone was so inviting... spinach and mushrooms ALWAYS go together, after all. And the employees were all super helpful, giving us their recommendations! (I love playing "ask a stranger! . #gourmetrecovery #lovemygreens #chamalocal #supportlocalsmallbusinesses

The village of Chama is small, yet majestic. Surrounded by golden aspens blooming in October. The view is breathtaking, the clouds are dreamy and deer are walking around freely. When it comes to restaurants and bars, there's like 5 to choose from, and they all seem to be made from old houses... which isn't bad at all.... But when if you keep driving through that one road that is Chama.... You'll hit this new age pizzeria!! You can't help but want to stop for a beer here!!! Local beers like ex novo and marble from Albuquerque. As well as an impressive wine list! The pizza menu is simple, yet refined. We got the Margarita pizza and the verde pizza! I'm so excited that we stopped here

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.
