Looking for One of the Best Places to Eat Pizza in Telluride?

Crazy Elk Pizza has become a favorite stop for locals, families, skiers, and visitors looking for handcrafted pizza, cold drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere in Mountain Village. Located just steps from the Telluride Ski Resort gondola, we're the kind of place where great food, friendly service, and mountain adventures come together.

Fresh Hand-Tossed Pizza, Made Daily

If you're looking for fresh, hand-tossed pizza in Mountain Village, every pie at Crazy Elk starts with dough made fresh in-house every day. Once it's stretched, topped, and ready to go, it begins its journey through our impressive Dragon conveyor oven. Cooking at temperatures approaching 700°F, each pizza travels from one end of the oven to the other in just over two minutes, emerging with a perfectly baked crust, bubbling cheese, and piping-hot toppings every single time.

The Dragon lets us deliver handcrafted pizza with incredible speed and consistency, so whether you're grabbing a quick slice between adventures or feeding the whole crew after a day on the mountain, your pizza is fresh, fast, and made to order.
