About

Pazzo's Pizzeria opened in Vail Village in September 1990, started by three friends who had spent the 1980s skiing by day and making pizza by night. This is the original of what are now three Pazzo's, at the west end of the Vail Village parking structure on East Meadow Drive, across from Solaris.

It is a casual, family-friendly room, handy before or after the bowling alley, the cinema or the winter skating rink across the street. Come for pizza by the slice or the pie, not for a quiet dinner for two.

The pizza

Every pie is made to order with fresh dough, in small, medium, large or a thick Sicilian. House specials range from the Supreme to the Azteca with jalapeños and cilantro and the Cabo Pazzo with shrimp and pineapple, or you can build your own from about two dozen toppings. Slices come thin or thick. The 12-inch gluten-free crust is offered only at the Avon and Eagle locations, not in Vail.

Beyond pizza

Pasta dinners come with soup or salad and garlic bread: spaghetti, lasagna, baked rigatoni, manicotti, and eggplant or chicken parmigiana. There are also Pazzones (Pazzo's calzones), stromboli, hot subs, salads and appetizers such as calamari and wings, plus draft and bottled beer.

Other Pazzo's

The Avon location, in the Junction at Beaver Creek shopping center, adds a kids' game room and a weekday happy hour, which Vail does not run; the Eagle location is just off I-70. The Vail restaurant is the one to walk to from the village.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pazzo's Pizzeria in Vail open year-round, and what are its hours?
Pazzo's opens at 11 a.m. daily in Vail Village. The restaurant does not publish closing times on its own website (Google lists 9:30 p.m., and 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; call (970) 476-9026 for the evening schedule). It is not open twelve months a year: the Town of Vail's restaurant list records a spring off-season closure, from April 25 to May 24 in 2026, while listings kept showing normal hours. Check the town list or call before a late-April or May trip.
What is on the Pazzo's menu, and what should I order?
Pizza first: every pie is handmade to order with fresh dough, as a small 12-inch, medium 15-inch, large 18-inch or thick Sicilian, or by the slice (thin or thick). The house specials are the Supreme, the Azteca with jalapeños and cilantro, the Cabo Pazzo with shrimp and pineapple, the Veggie Combo and the Corfu with feta and basil, or build your own from about two dozen toppings. Beyond pizza there are Pazzones (Pazzo's calzones, including the Twilight Zone), stromboli, pasta dinners that come with soup or salad and garlic bread (lasagna, baked rigatoni, chicken or eggplant parmigiana), hot subs, salads and starters such as calamari and wings. The full menu is at pazzospizza.com/menu.php.
How much does a pizza cost at Pazzo's?
A build-your-own cheese pizza is $15.95 small (12-inch), $17.95 medium (15-inch), $19.95 large (18-inch) and $22 for the thick Sicilian, with toppings extra ($1.75 to $3.25 depending on size and topping). House specials run $19.95 to $27.95 by size. By the slice: a thin cheese slice is $3.75 (thick $4.75), house-special slices $5.50 to $5.95. Pasta dinners are $15.95 to $18.95 including soup or salad and garlic bread. The menu notes prices may vary between the three locations.
Does Pazzo's in Vail deliver?
Order to go by phone at (970) 476-9026; Pazzo's publishes a to-go menu and takeout is the option the restaurant itself documents. Delivery is listed by some directories, but the restaurant publishes no delivery service, area, fee or minimum on its website, and it has no storefront on the major delivery apps under the Vail location, so call the restaurant to ask about delivery before counting on it. Do not rely on a directory's delivery badge for this store.
What do reviews say about Pazzo's in Vail?
As of October 2026, Google rates the Vail Pazzo's 4.0 out of 5 from 1,371 reviews, and TripAdvisor rates it 4.0 from 623 reviews (via aggregation). Diners praise the pizza itself above all (the crust, the Supreme, slices hot from the oven), the value by Vail Village standards, and the casual family feel with TVs for the game; the recurring criticisms are slices that come out overcooked, long waits and thin staffing at peak après hours. Quote a rating only with its store attached: the Avon and Eagle Pazzo's keep separate review pools, and pooled "Pazzo's" ratings elsewhere mix all three.
Is there gluten-free pizza at Pazzo's in Vail?
Not in Vail. The 12-inch gluten-free pizza is available only at the Avon and Eagle locations (priced the same as a regular 15-inch pie). The Vail menu's vegetarian range is wide (Veggie Combo, Corfu and Figioli pizzas, the Veggie Zone calzone, Spaghetti Primavera, Spinach Manicotti, Eggplant Parmigiana), but if gluten-free crust is the requirement, go to Avon (970) 949-9900 or Eagle (970) 337-9900.
Where are the other Pazzo's locations?
There are three, all in the Vail Valley. Vail (this listing) is the original, opened in September 1990 at 122 East Meadow Drive, Suite 9, in Vail Village, (970) 476-9026. Avon, opened in 1996, is at 82 East Beaver Creek Boulevard in The Junction at Beaver Creek, (970) 949-9900, and is the location with the kids' game room and the weekday happy hour. Eagle, opened in 2005, is at 50 Chambers Avenue just off I-70, (970) 337-9900, and is the location pitched for events and birthday parties. Gift certificates are good at all three.
Can I order Pazzo's to go?
Yes. Pazzo's publishes a to-go menu; call the Vail restaurant at (970) 476-9026 to order and pick up at 122 East Meadow Drive, at the west end of the Vail Village parking structure, across from Solaris. There is no online ordering and no reservation system; dine-in is walk-in.
Does Pazzo's Vail have a happy hour or a full bar?
The bar, yes; the happy hour, no. The official menu states that each Pazzo's location features a full bar with well and premium liquors, a wine list with pours by the glass, and a wide draft and bottled beer selection (Colorado craft included). The happy hour, Monday to Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., runs only at the Avon and Eagle locations; Vail does not offer it.
Is Pazzo's good for families and groups?
Yes for families: it is a casual, lively, family-friendly room across from the Solaris bowling alley, cinema and winter skating rink, pizzas come in sizes that serve up to six (the Sicilian serves 4 to 6), and slices keep it cheap for kids. Two location facts matter: the kids' game room is at the Avon location, not Vail, and the location the restaurant pitches for events and birthday parties is Eagle; no private-events offer or children's menu is published for Vail. Large walk-in groups fit the room's style, but nothing is reservable, so arrive early at peak times.
