After a long day of traveling, we stopped in for a bite to eat here. Zach was our waiter, and he was the BEST & extremely nice!!! We didn't have to wait for our drinks to be refilled. The food was amazing! The restaurant was busy, but all the employees were hard at work.
Very good pizza, so good in fact we ate their twice on our trip. They have a good variety of drinks and local beers as well. They do seem like they are busy a lot, so check in and they will text you when your table is ready.
Alright so “Heat of the Moment” just started playing by Asia and this pizza arrived. I don’t know why I ordered deep dish, never do. We ordered “The Big Frizz” (hold the olives.) This straight up tastes like I’m from Chicago, which I’m not from and have never been too but if I had been this exactly what I’d wish for. It was steaming, the cheese stringy just how I like it, deep like I requested, so many mouth watering toppings, homemade ranch. What more do you want “in the heat of the moment”
An impromptu dinner date was on the cards and my wife decided to surprise me as she thought of a place before I could for dinner. We then made the drive and arrived at Walter’s.On a busy Thursday night, we were able to snag two seats at the bar counter. If we didn’t, it would have been a 45-60 minute wait. We arrived around 7:00 PM, so keep that in mind when you visit!There was only one bartender, but he was on top of everything. Very attentive and great customer service.The restaurant itself is very cozy and has a great “home” vibe. Definitely a place where you can bring your family or friends. Just make sure to plan ahead!We decided to order cheesy breadsticks and a 14 in. pizza that we split 50/50. Her side was just cheese and pepperoni while mine contained bbq chicken and ricotta.Starting off we did receive all items in a timely fashion with no errors. Fantastic start to see especially with how busy they were.The cheesy breadsticks came first and they delivered! This wasn’t just cheese on bread. This was cheesy bread that had a great proportion of cheese to bread while delivering on flavor. They had a great garlic taste without being overpowering for my wife. The bread itself was top-tier. Very good base and each bite held up (no soggy bread here)! The marinara sauce on the side is definitely not store-bought. The marinara contained a great mixture of tomato and spices that complimented the cheesy breadsticks wonderfully. One of the best cheesy bread items we have had in Colorado Springs.The pizza came in shortly after and did deliver great flavor. My wife thought the pepperoni pizza was pretty good but a little spicy. Not a bad thing by any means, because she usually likes everything mild. The pepperoni along with the other toppings though was plentiful.My side contained a generous heaping of bbq chicken and ricotta. The bbq chicken was very good and complimented the house marinara and mozzarella cheese well. Not too salty either which is a hard thing to do with bbq chicken. The ricotta was very creamy and tasted fresh. Perfect fit for this savory pizza.Overall we spent $28.01 before tip which is an absolute steal for the quality of food we received. We will be back and will recommend this to others who need a pizza fix in the Flying Horse area.Last tip: Get all of the toppings, you won’t be disappointed on the quantity or quality of the toppings.
Best pizza in Colorado Springs- and best we've had anywhere in a long time. My husband doesn't like pizza and has actually suggested we go here on multiple occasions. The Chicago style deep dish is phenomenal, and the regular hand tossed is just as delicious. The toppings and ingredients are high quality and flavorful, and the Crust is light and delicious. We've found our pizza spot!
The place was a nice "local" eatery with a sport bar and trendy bar feel. It was extremely clean and well maintained. Although it wasn't packed when we arrived (right at opening), I can see this place being extremely packed at night due to its small size. The bathroom was clean, but only one toilet per, and there were two of them. Overall, we loved the atmosphere. Regarding their food:We were told the deep dish pizza would take a bit longer when ordering, so we were prepared for a treat. Chicago deep dish is just that, deep, but this one missed the mark. I posted a photo of my fork next to it, so you can see its not that "deep." it did taste OK, but the sauce was meh to us. We ordered the large pizza, and not knowing the sizes, assumed it would be large. It was the size of a medium pizza from chain pizza places. I'd give the pizza a 3 out of 5. It was bad, but we wouldn't make a special trip to eat here. Regarding the meatball sub my wife ordered, here again, meh. The meatballs were a bit spicy, which is fine, but it wasnt for us. The salad, according to her, was as good as they usually come. We ordered the garlic bread. There were dry and crusty (not quite hard as a rock, but certainly dry). 4 pieces for 5 bucks.... Ahem... Waste of money. It did come with marinara, which you had to pour on your plate. Speaking of plates, I love the black square plates. I'm not sure why, but they were plenty big and seemed like they'd keep the messes down. The water cups were large, which we liked. Especially since the waiter didn't come around much. I did have the pleasure of waiting 10 to 15 minutes at the end of our meal for the bill. The waiter was browsing his phone behind the bar. Anyhow, we would eat here again, but wouldn't make a special trip for it. Only if we were really hungry and in the immediate neighborhood. I'd pass on it if you have a minute more to drive somewhere else. 5 stars for atmosphere, 2 stars for the pizza being "deep dish," but wasn't, and an average of 3 for the overall experience.
I usually order takeout if I'm working in the area, and the meatball sandwich is so yummy!!
This place is amazing and we're lucky to have it. Pizza is excellent (especially the deep dish). Thin crust was good too. Pepperoni was spicy and flavorful. Worth every penny.
Service and toppings are top notch. 9nly thing that rates higher is the undeniably amazing pizza crust. This place is fully worth the night out.
The pizza is amazing but even more than the pizza the service by server Julia was impeccable. She was friendly the moment we walked In the door, gave an amazing cocktail suggestion, checked on us often and could not have been more delightful! So happy with our first time here and will definitely be back! Hope Julia is our server next time too! A+++
