As with any vacation spot, eating out at night can get very expensive. If you’re looking for great food at a great price, Giampietro Pasta & Pizzeria in Breckenridge, Colorado is definitely the place to go. This great Italian restaurant has been voted “Best Pizza in Summit County” for six consecutive years.
To be such a popular restaurant in Breckenridge, the size is very small. With the Italian style red checkered table cloths, and the cozy atmosphere, there are only 8 tables in the entire restaurant which seats about 35 people. It is not unusual to see customers lining up outside waiting for a table. That in itself should tell you how wonderful the food is. Take-out is highly recommended, but most want to sit in the classic Italian atmosphere to enjoy their food fresh and hot.
All the food, including the pizza dough, is prepared daily with only the freshest ingredients. Two of the most popular items on their menu are the pizza and calzones. Customers are crazy about their pizzas and the calzones are large enough to feed two people. Either choice will make delicious leftovers for the next day. Their menu also offers a variety of excellent choices including bruschetta, sandwiches, pasta, and other entrees such as Eggplant or Chicken Parmigiana. Very enticing daily specials will be listed on the chalkboard as you enter.
If you’re ordering pizza but do not need a whole pie, that’s not a problem. They conveniently serve large pieces of pizza by the slice. If you have several mouths to feed, you might want to get the thicker crust Sicilian Deep Dish pizza. It’s very filling and delicious. Eating at this Pizzeria is also easy on the pocketbook. Feeding a family with 2 adults and 2 kids can easily cost as low as $30-50. That’s a great deal, especially for a popular location such as Breckenridge, CO.
Giampietro’s does not accept reservations, but you can walk up and put your name on the waiting list. Give them your cell phone number and they will call you when your table is ready. How’s that for personal service? While you wait, there are many places nearby where you can shop until your cell phone rings. Not a bad idea, since the wait can be as much as 60-90 minutes.
This fun and lively restaurant is great for pizza lovers of all ages. The dress is casual and comfortable. Be sure you visit Giampietro’s early on during your trip, as you will most likely want to stop there again before leaving Breckenridge to head back home.
