Pablo's Pizza

$ Fodor's choice

Drawing inspiration from Pablo Picasso's artwork, the pizzas at this funky joint make for a diverse palette of flavors and fun. Specialties include creations such as Popeye's Passion (featuring spinach and "olive oyl") or Dracula's Nemesis (studded with roasted garlic). For kids, they even serve a mac-and-cheese pizza. With brick walls covered only by eclectic local paintings, Pablo's can get loud when busy. They pour local wines by the glass and Palisade Brewery beer and root beer by the bottle.

Rudy's Pizzeria

$

This establishment serves excellent thick-crust pizza that is heavy on toppings and cheese (so beware ordering extra). The Oktoberfest pizza, with sauerkraut, sausage, and onion, sounds odd but is outstanding—like an enormous, cheesy bratwurst.
