Table Booking
“ Brown Dog Pizza is great. Classic ski town pizza shop. Pizza is delicious. We got a salad to start with some homemade balsamic dressing that was really good. Our server made us feel welcome and was quick to bring our drinks and food. We did have to wait about 30 minutes for a table but we sat and had a drink next door. ”
“ Brown Dog was hopping on a weekday night, but they were able to seat us quickly on their small but dog-friendly patio. The table was unfortunately pretty dirty even after they wiped it for us. The Detroit style pizza more than made up for everything though! Some of the best I’ve ever had! My partner really loved her gluten free pizza. Friendly service. ”
“ We came in late one evening after the kitchen was closed, but the bartender got us delicious slices, so good that we came back the next day. I’m still thinking about the Detroit style pizza & wish I lived within driving distance. The Greek salad was yummy, too. The Detroit style was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had & I LOVE pizza! Excellent, friendly service! ”
“ The food is amazing. We drive all the way from Farmington, NM to eat here at least 2-4 times a year. The Bruschetta is delicious. The salad was fresh, crispy and tasty. The pizza's are absolutely perfect. We love coming here and the staff is amazing. Our waiter was friendly and courteous. We definitely will keep coming again and again. Thank you Brown Dog Pizza for a memorable lunch. ”
“ I get it. There are other places to get a drink and something to eat in Telluride. But when we’re in town, this is our go to. Consistently good food - sandwiches, salads, and pizza - there’s nothing bad on the menu. There’s outdoor seating when the weather cooperates, ample table seating, and the bar is a great place to watch sports on one of the seven tvs. The prices are reasonable and the draft beer selection is good. I guess the main reason we keep coming back is the service. These folks work so darn hard! This joint is jumping on festival weekends. But they never lose their friendly composure. We should try other places, but we’re back for our third visit to Brown Dog this weekend. Keep up the great work! ”
