Up 4 Pizza - Snowmass Village

UP4PIZZA has THE best cookies in the entire world. They are cooked in a wood fired oven at 11,000 feet altitude. The cookies are crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and the chocolate absolutely melts into them. I crave them 24/7 and wish they were available year round... because not exactly easy to get to. It's a small space, just a heads up!

This restaurant definitely seems to persevere on account of the lack of options this high on the mountain. The service is fine, they are quite young and certainly seem to be skiers and snowboarders themselves. The pizza is pretty lackluster. The sauce tasted quite sugary, and there was little of it beneath the poor quality cheese. The day I went, they only offered cheese and pepperoni as their deluxe flavor, and for a mere two slices charged $18. They were also out of the cookies which are their claim to fame. I 'm not sure how they ran out of 1 of 2 items that are really served here and arguably the primary reason people come in. The tables are big and scratched with all sorts of initials and graffiti, and no patrons nor employees are wearing masks, though I suppose that is appropriate and legally permissible at time of writing. I have had experiences before where I enjoyed the product, so I was perplexed at the disintegration in quality.

Listen I know this is a beloved place by everyone who visits it but it was over hyped for me before arriving so I am still a little bitter about it not blowing my mind. With that being said it is a must do when at Snowmass. Such a surreal experience at the base of the Cirque lift up above the treeline. Like nothing I personally have ever experienced. Now it is listed as a singular symbol on yelp but that is deceiving. It is average for on mountain prices, but as far as pizza goes it is very expensive. This is to be expected as on any mountain food prices are exaggerated. Now on to the pizza itself... a let down. It was good but I was told it would be the best pizza I've ever consumed. Something about the altitude and cooking methods is supposed to make it epic but in reality it just tasted like Costco pizza. With that being said I do not mind Costco pizza but it was just doughy and cheesy. Nothing wild, definitely not the mouth orgasm I was expecting. Cookies are exactly as they were described. Incredible. Moist and soft and warm wow just perfect. Chocolate chip. Yeah pretty much unforgettable even though its just a cookie. Again its a must just to say you did it and to take in the view. Best pizza I've ever had at 11,820 feet. Now go shred AMF

This is a must do place to have lunch if you are at Snowmass. They have pizza and cookies and that 's about it but the location, and the story. Well it 's a must do . The pizza is very good. When the let the dough rise at over 10,000....very good. And they understand high altitude pizza cookery. It 's not that easy. The cookies are chewy and great. Not cheap. $20 pizza, cookie, beer. $12.00 between 2:00-3:00) Hey it 's a ski area and they bring everything here by snowcat. But an experience. Just do it.

Pizza is ok but the cookies there are amazing!! They need to work on the toilets but I would only come there for a snack but I would recommend this business.
