Blue pan pizza is fantastic, the owners are really invested in what they create. In summer, sit at river-side seating and listen to the water. Bliss.

Same guys that own and cook at Propaganda Pie in Redstone. Cannot beat the menu, the company, the BBQ ( comes close to TX BBQ). Beautiful drive en route. Allow for wait time. The place is usually hopping. Summer and Fall hours only. Another location in Snowmass, but falls short of this location.
