Colorado Boy Pub & Brewery - Ridgway, Colorado

One of the best pizza spots in Colorado. Very small inside, but you can usually get a table, sometimes a small wait. Good beer selection. The crust is always perfectly tender. More artisanal pizza menu, but still has most the norms. Pesto is awesome. Great service, clean.

Though the building looks large, the inside seating is very limited, about five small tables and five barstools. There are a couple of tables outside, which would be your best bet if the weather was nice. The menu is more limited than the Ouray location, but they still have the standards. We ordered a cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza, and the cheese bread. The pizzas were roughly 14” sized, cut into six slices each. The food came quickly and was quite good. The server was friendly and knowledgeable- she was basically waiting on the entire restaurant. There was also a bartender. For five of us it was a tight fit and the inside seating experience wasn’t all that comfortable or relaxing. For a smaller group it would likely be fine.

We definitely prefer the Ouray location, but wanted to branch out. They also do carry out orders and have locally printed shirts and other merchandise available for purchase.

I hate leaving mediocre reviews...but I hate lying more. We didn't have the best experience here, but it's not the employees' faults. When we arrived, we waited at the host stand for 5-10 minutes before another person waiting grabbed one of the few employees to take care of the growing number of customers wanting to be seated or put on the waitlist. We were able to get seated pretty fast after that, and we did get our order taken soon after. While we waited for our food, we counted four employees running the front of house on a busy summer Saturday night. They were all juggling much more than they should have been. Our food came out and it was not that great. We ordered a vegan Detroit-style pizza. We're from Detroit, and this was subpar. The biggest issue is that they don't know how to use vegan cheese. It wasn't melted and it was still a bit cold, and the scarcity of sauce didn't help. We patiently waited for our check and got out of there. Would I go back? In a pinch, sure. Willingly? Not so much. There was a lot left to be desired and having the appropriate amount of staff wouldn't fix everything.

I went here for my birthday dinner last month and it was awesome! This place tends to stay crowded (good sign) when it's open from what I observed during our four nights in Ridgway we got really lucky and got a four top right by the window / front door, only table available. Lucky birthday right haha. The pizza was awesome, some of the best I had in Colorado for sure. The beer was super great too and I love how all the equipment is right there in your face super intimate, ha. Great service. There's a cool little outdoor seating area too, I had my wife and two boys with me so they wanted to sit inside as it was a little warm that day.

Overall I really love this place I'll be back keep up the good work, maybe not the spot to go if you're looking for a vegan pizza lol, but if you just want normal house made pizza and beer this is your spot.

As a British person who has spent a lot of time in the US I was honestly kind of shocked to see real ale being advertised. I can confirm the beverage served was indeed genuine real ale (not too fizzy, served chilled but not overly cold, and hand pulled from a keg) and tasted great.
The salad and pizza were both very tasty and fresh so a good spot for dinner.

Great pizza and beer. The crust was just like I would expect from an Italian pizza joint. Great atmosphere.

Three visits in two days, and all of them were terrific. 1) a quick stop for a couple salads and a pint before heading up to Owl Pass for sunset photos. 2) Back for pizza and a couple pints the same evening. 3) The highlight, the place was slammed after a community-wide event and barrel aged festival the next day. The staff of this relatively small establishment was overwhelmed but handled the crowd like champs. All it took was a little bit of patience and we found space at the bar. Great beer, good pizza and salads and friendly staff. Anyone who complains about this place is an overly privileged A-hole who would be better off staying home.

Beer highlights are the Pale, an English IPA (because that's where IPA came from) and a cask Irish Red.

Awesome pizza spot! They have some really creative and original toppings. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must try if you’re in town.
