DO Drop Inn West

Pizza was really good. Crust is super thick and definitely sweet. The veggies and toppings seem fresh. They also had brownie dessert but I didn’t try that. Just a coincidence (?) it gave several people in our party some stinky post-​pizza stomach bubbles.

Pizza buffet super, staff fantastic. Do drop sets out some of the most basic of pizza buffets but their pizza is the best in all of Pueblo. The price of pizzas is the only reason we don’t make it here every night.

The last 4 times I wasn’t impressed with their food but we went there because every where we went was packed. We had the bacon burger with blue cheese crumbles and what a difference from last Visit. It had flavor! Probably the best burger I have had in a long time. I hope we get the same results when we go back again. Very impressed

Service is slow and sometimes non-​existent.

We read the mixed reviews and decided we would try this place for ourselves. We were very disappointed. On the positive side, The restaurant was clean and laid out well. The waitress was knowledgable and friendly and they have several beers on tap. However, we found the food to be very bland. We did not order pizza though, we weren’t in the mood to try a sweet crust and for the price, we didn’t want to not like it. They should allow people to sample it. But the green chili didn’t have any flavor at all. I was very disappointed. The patty melt was flavorless as well. We had four people in our party and none of us were impressed for the prices. We won’t be back.

The pizza is spot on, although the crust is a bit sweet. Not that the sweet is a bad thing, it kind of works well with the pizza. The restaurant is very cool little spot. Bit Pricey tho.

I LOVE the chicken fried spaghetti and the buffalo chicken pizza. That’s all I have to say about that!

Was here on Saturday the 14^th.
Had to get the waitress to tell them we were ready to order. Plates were mixed up when they arrived, English muffin instead of biscuit, took 20min to correct. Had the steak and eggs, it was just… meh
I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Do Drop Inn serves great «pizza». It is not really pizza, more of a sweet bread. They are a little slow, and when it comes out, you have to wait a little longer if you value the cells on the roof of your mouth, but it is worth it. Once it cools, however, this is a savory treat like no other in Pueblo. The slices are huge and in many cases one is enough to fill you up. Go on Tuesdays and they have pretty much a buy-​one-​get-​one deal that will give you leftovers for a week. My one wish is that they put table clothes down because their plates slide all over the place when you try to cut your «pizza» (remember, knife and fork are acceptable because it’s not really pizza!). Do Drop is a favorite of mine, and great staple for dinner.

Not a fan of sweet pizza crust. Ever. The crust here is not just slightly sweet, it’s overly sweet. This makes it not taste right when dipping it in ranch. They do, however, make some mighty fine strawberry margaritas and a decent chicken fried steak. I would come back to try their other options, just not the pizza.

Must say the honey in the swishy doughy dough makes Do Drops pizza stand out. Beau Jo’s also uses honey as a stand out so Do Drops will have to step it up to get me to spend my extra carb points again. Pizza itself was fine.

It’s a very nice place as far as family restaurants go, I do not recommend pizza or Italian food here, the pasta sauce is like water. Now with that said, the fries are amazing, the other sandwhiches and burgers are great. Our waitress put up with stress and my family complaints and was still sweet and was on everything without question. The manager seemed to be a little annoyed and maybe even angry. I will come back again as long as there’s a different manager, maybe some more experienced kitchen staff that follow direction better.

I tried the pizza with the green chile sauce. It was good, but a bit thicker of a crust than I am used to. The sweet crust was an interesting flavor.

Never order scrambled eggs here. They give you folded egg that they cut into 10 mm pieces. Very disappointing. If you like heavy, thick dough, sweet pizza than this place is for you. I enjoy it every few years, but not the pepperoni.

45 minute wait for our pizza. It was very sweet, and brittle as if it was gluten free. During our wait we saw couples come and go, because they didn’t order pizza. It wasn’t their first time here. Strange layout to, but it works for this place. I’m sure it’s not a bad place, but you won’t see me here again. Try it before you dislike it!

Pizza isn’t anything special cheese sticks are a joke, buffet is played out, only thing I like is the Greek omelet. Service isn’t anything great food gets to the table…

This place is great. They’ve got almost every beer you can think of, and the bar is open all hours of the day. 7AM shots anyone? Perfect if you’re getting off a night shift. The pizza is good too, but be prepared to wait 45 minutes before they bring it out. Plenty of time to get toasted with tall beers on an empty stomach. Classy place with a really weird water fountain smack in the middle of the restaurant.

A lot of folks aren’t going to «get» this place, but it’s pretty much the exact same «sweet-​pizza» you’d find in a «Greek Pizza» joint in New England. Be advised that a «Greek Pizza» is not one with feta cheese but rather a variant of a crispy, deep-​dish with a shelf of cheese solidified mass. Similar examples would be «Chris’ Famous Pizza» in Methuen, MA or «Princess Pizza» in Lawrence, MA or «Salem House of Pizza» in Salem, NH.
After asking the owner if they were Greek, or from New England, they admitted they weren’t. I mentioned that this was a «Greek Pizza» style place and they had no idea what I was talking about, offering me a Californian-​style feta-​cheese option proudly (and ignorantly). Somehow, they stumbled upon a Greek-​style New England pizza by sheer accident in the same way if you leave a group of monkeys in a room with a typewriter, however improbable, they’ll come up with a script for Hamlet by accidental probability eventually as is mentioned in «The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy».
I was the only patron at 2pm (which is a very bad sign). Basic pepperoni medium would take 35 minutes (it did, and came out a tad burnt on the outside, a bit raw on the inside but not unpleasantly so).
During my wait, I was offered an appetizer. I noticed they had cannoli, which is great, and came in both Italian or Mexican (odd, cinnamon?) So I asked how long that would take and they said 35 minutes to my surprise. I asked if they made them fresh right there, which would have been amazing and they said they did! She asked what I might like in it. Again, pretty amazing, as a cannoli is an Italian pastry with a sweet cream filling, sometimes, if you’re lucky, with chocolate chips muddled within, then added powdered sugar over it. Pretty impressive. I was offered pepperoni and my jaw dropped in confusion. They said they put any pizza toppings inside. Am I in Wonderland? Like Lewis Carol I instantly acquired a migraine. What sort of madness is this? Why is Pueblo dining so odd? Turns out that their version of a «cannoli» is ACTUALLY a calzone, so caveat emptor, kids. I declined a «pepperoni cannoli». They had no idea what I was talking about (again). Do a Google search on cannoli anytime. Even retarded kids on the East Coast know what the frack a cannoli is. I was pretty annoyed with their complete ignorance of Italian cuisine concepts.
The menu is retardedly diverse with no rhyme or reason, trying to be a sports-​bar no one would ever go to as well as a pizza joint and a burger joint and a Mexican restaurant with lots of green chilies because, hey. it’s Pueblo, right? Stupid. Green chilies are definitely a New Mexican thing. Get your own identity, Pueblo! Seriously. Jesus.
Décor is typical Pueblo filthy, so expect that, as nothing in Pueblo has been cleaned since 1930. Even new buildings just put-​up in Pueblo West are filthy inside. Floor was poisonously carpeted like they took it out of an adult theater. Fountain in center of dining area lacking 2 feet of water. Ceilings make you ill. Pepsi is served here, which is great, but in plastic cheap cups frosted-​over from use and harsh water etching sides and accenting floor impacts. Silverware is out of a greasy diner with a potentiality for mouth-​HPV.
After almost 40 minutes the pizza cannot be eaten and must rest for 20 minutes or you’ll get 4^th degree burns and turn to ash, so, again, you wait. It’s best to go not hungry because you’ll wait (or be turned to ash and writhe in burnt agony).
The sweetness of a New England Greek Pizza is derived from the sauce. In Do Drop Inn’s case, it’s derived from the crust, which is confusing as it is like stale wedding cake but if you don’t dissect it too much, it works in the same NE-​GP fashion crunch-​crunch.
Pizza is very filling. 2 or 3 slices off a medium should satisfy an average hungry full-​grown man easily as it’s dense and solid and sits in your gut like a rock, your stomach confused about what’s going on with this pepperoni wedding cake, burnt with tomato frosting.
Aside from that, it’s generally good. Cook-​time is ridiculously slow. Service from the wait-​staff is acceptable. If you’re from New England, it’s nostalgic serendipitously. Enjoy, but expect an hour wait to eat.

Apparently things change. I eat here frequently as it’s the only decent breakfast joint in Pueblo West. Once I figured out what to order, things got better. I usually have either the Breakfast Burrito, Steak and Eggs, or the Gyro. All are excellent and a lot more than I can eat. That being said, from what I can tell, they have one skilled waitress and a bunch of inexperienced kids servicing their customers. The times I’ve been in and not gotten the skilled waitress have been arduous — long waits to place my order, long waits for food, long waits for the check, and no refills. the thing is I know that they can do better because the one skilled waitress has none of these issues anytime I am there. If I were rating just her and the food it’d be a 4 but I can’t ignore the times I’ve not had a good experience.

When I was a kid I thought Do Drop Inn was an A+ pizza joint! What a difference a few years make.
So fast forward a bunch of years and I’m eating at the DDI West with my kids on vacation. We stopped in here after a day in the Canon City /​Royal Gourge /​Cripple Creek areas visiting some of the local monuments and tourist traps. I fondly remembered DDI as a kid. So I thought why not treat my girls to some of the goodness I once enjoyed. And wouldn’t ya know DDI opened a second (new to me) restaurant 12 years ago out in Pueblo West and it happened to be on the way home from our day of sightseeing. Cool I thought lets go!
As we walk in the aroma was incredible! Oh yea we got a winner.
We sat down and were served drinks pretty quick. Big beers! Yea.
But that’s where things went downhill.
Took 15 min to bring out the cheese bread, and it was Meh but 15 min?
20 min later out came the pie! Finally we were starving!
FOOD TASTE:
Cheese Bread, was a big disappointment, don’t bother with this one!
Pizza … I really liked the green chili topping very unique to Pueblo. I’m a huge green chili fan too, but the pizza crust was a lot doughier than I remembered. Too much dough!

Doh!
I like me a Chicago as well as a NY style pie but this one sucked some where in the middle. Slow service and mediocre pie think I’ll just pass on by next time.
I will not return.
