A block off the main drag in Leadville, CO, is the best pizza around. At 10,154 feet, Leadville is a funky little oasis and the highest incorporated town in the country.

Popular with the locals, they’re not kidding when they say the “line is out the door.” That’s where they put their menu.

It’s not a large space; there are just a couple of tables inside. The staff is awesome. They work well together and are always checking on us.

We ended up with a couple of medium Carnivores—a bit much for four people. One large would do the trick. But the leftovers later that night were great. This pepperoni, ham, bacon, and sausage pie was cooked perfectly. Watching the kitchen, everything coming out—wings, salads, and submarine sandwiches—looked great. The chef told me all the ingredients are fresh, and the dough is made in-house.

If you are anywhere near Leadville and looking for fast casual dinning you want to make sure you drop by High Mountain Pies. You won’t be disappointed.
