Brown Dog Pizza
A popular pizzeria on Colorado Avenue, the main street. Its head chef won an international pizza contest with Detroit-style square pizza, making it a favorite budget choice after a day on the slopes.
Located at 110 Colorado Avenue on Telluride's main street. Partner and head chef Jeff Smokevitch, from the Detroit area, won the American-style pan-baked category at the Las Vegas International Pizza Challenge with '313,' his Detroit-style deep-dish pizza, and is known as a two-time world pizza champion. Beyond the signature Detroit-style square pizza, the restaurant also makes Chicago-style deep-dish and classic American pizza, and its award-winning green sauce pizza is also a crowd favorite. The atmosphere is casual and lively, and dinner in ski season often involves a wait. About $25–40 per person; a few minutes' walk from the gondola station.
