Last Chance Pizza
Dillon, Colorado

Pizza lovers know that not all kinds of pizza are the same. After all, there’s Sicilian and wood-fired and Chicago deep-dish, to name only a few. Just the crust alone can have so many variations. What’s your favorite kind? If you’re partial to a crispy crust, then Last Chance Pizza in Dillon is right up your alley. Not only that, but you can get as many toppings as you want on your pizza at Last Chance too.

What’s especially neat is that if you choose to dine in, you can enjoy your pie right next door at the Cove & Craft Tap Room along with a local brew (there’s an “awesome beer selection”). Plus, the staff is friendly, the food comes out fast and hot, and the menu is huge, literally “packed with options.” Diner favorites include the calzones (they’d “give any Italian place in the city a run for their money,”) personal pizzas, cheesy garlic bread, and Hawaiian BBQ pizza. So the next time you hit the slopes at Keystone, make sure to stop by Last Chance Pizza and prepare to be blown away!
