But it's not just about the ambience- the real star of the show is the pizza. Crowned the World Pizza Champion twice, Brown Dog Pizza prides itself on its Detroit-style pizza - a rarity outside of Michigan.

The roster of pizzas is a tantalizing array of flavors, with traditional options like ‘Brooklyn Bridge,’ topped with New York-style sausage, roasted red peppers and creamy ricotta, to the adventurous ‘Lloyd’s of London,' a luxurious combination of delectable fig jam, prosciutto, and arugula.

Beyond pizzas, Brown Dog offers a selection of inviting appetizers, like their beloved garlic knots, and hefty sandwiches. Their ‘Philly Cheesesteak' is a particular favorite, with its tender slices of steak, grilled onions, green peppers, and melted provolone. Their salads are fresh and full of flavor, with the 'Greek Salad' being a standout, packed with crisp lettuce, tangy Kalamata olives, and creamy feta.

Brown Dog Pizza in Aspen - Telluride delivers an exquisite fusion of food, flavor and fun.
