A dinasour business.
I grew up in FoCo. This place used to be... awe, mazing.
But times have changed. I'm not sure what exactly transpired behind the original owner, the recipe, and or the business. But I can tell you this much.
It's not the same, it's a fraction of the ghosts that have left it. It's run by college kids as it always has, but now it charges astronomical prices for a fraction of the quality it used to give.
It used to taste absolutely delicious. Now, you never know what you're going to get. Could you get a rubbery pizza, a burnt pizza, a soft pizza, a stiff pizza, more marinara, too little marinara, a confusing amount, someone else's pizza entirely?
It's a joke. They haven't spent a dime in renovations, updating their kitchen, or creating any sort of reputable idea of what Casbah pizza represents.
No, it's the same design, same old pizzas, moldy smelling, stale environment it's always been. It worked when I was a kid, but to see it in a run down status after 30 years?? THAT'S Absolutely insane.
And to charge the prices they do? Why? A couple of dollars worth of ingredients to give you $25 + in cost? When did our city become so greedy?
The food quality has gone down the drain. It's still one of my favorite pizza's in town, but that's not saying much. Pizza in FoCo is probably the worst in most of the i-25 cities.
you think a smart business pizza owner would create a pizza shop worthy of foco and make more money then they could imagine. But no one stands up to the challenge. Same as Tacos.
Unfortunately I'll continue to order from here as it's one of the few better pizza locations (until I learn a better recipe) but, from when I was a kid, this pizza is seriously over-rated now..
Cheers Pizza Casbah, you've lost touch.
