Our little fall-color catching getaway to Breckenridge yesterday was nicely concluded by stopping at this pizzeria for a quick lunch. And I can only say positive things about this cute place.
This was recommended by my daughter as she had dined here with her BF a few months earlier. She said she had an amazing hand-crafted pizza so when I told her that I sort of had this little pizza craving, she wasted no time to tell me about it.
It was during the peak lunch hour at/around 12:32pm on a Thursday. We did see a good number of people walking on the main street but to our surprise, when we arrived, there was only one table that had just been sat by a couple. We got lucky there.
For our appetizer, we ordered Wood-fried olives and for our main dish, we got El Jefe. And I'll go ahead and explain one by one:
Wood-fired olive: What a great idea to serve olives warm first of all. all the ingredients (rosemary, thyme, garlic and lemon rind) harmonized so well in the oil. And the olives that were lightly cooked in the hot oil with the spices were amazingly tasty. And we, of course, placed them on the lightly toasted crostini bread pieces and popped them in our mouths. This was absolutely yummy.
El Jefe: What's magic about this pizza is DEFINITELY the shiitake mushrooms and you cannot argue with me here! This Spanish influenced pizza's got some kick to it. The fresh green pepper was cooked on the dough/cheese to a perfection (not too done or not too raw); my daughter doesn't even like green pepper but she didn't say a thing about it. But like I said, the magician on the pizza were the shiitake mushrooms. This truly compliments the whole taste of it and I was quite shocked with it.
Now the price for this pizza is a bit high at $27. However, it's definitely big enough to be shared between two people. And for this quality, I certainly didn't mind the price I paid for it. It was simply good might be an understatement but you know what I mean?
Oh, let's not forget. Our waiter, Oraine, was pleasant to us. At the end of the meal, when he brought us our check, it was between the pages of the colorful yellow book by Dr. Seuss, "One fish two fish red fish blue fish". How cute is that!!
This place is legit. They are A plant based, wood fired, house made pizza joint. It's probably one of the best pizza places I've ever been to if it's not the best. Now I have a reason as to why I should frequent Breckenridge more often going forward. I SUPPORT!
