The Detroit pizza is the best pizza I've ever tasted. It's square with a crunchy cheese aroung the outside. Delicious

The Brown Dog has some of the best pizza I have ever had in a restaurant! Great selection of beer and some interesting looking items if pizza isn't your thing. A great atmosphere and equally good service - this is definitely a place for out of towners with some local folks mixed in too. A friend and I drank water... More

Great, fun atmosphere. TV's everywhere for the sports fans. Must get: The Square pizza. Any toppings you choose and the best caramelized crust.

This is a very popular place for pub style food. It is a busy, loud and hectic place. If you want a quiet place for conversation and a relaxing environment to enjoy your meal this is not the place. Not to say that its bad, on the contrary the food, while typical pub grub, is good and the service is... More

Best pizza! Not to be missed in Telluride! Definetly go for the signature Detroit-style pizza. Gets crowded, be prepared for a little wait. Lots of cool sports memorabilia.

We went to Brown Dog Pizza with a group of about 20 while on a skiing vacation in Telluride. One of our party chose this restaurant because A) everyone likes pizza, and b) the owner is an ex-University of Michigan football player (Jeff Smokevitch) and most of our party went to Michigan. It was crowded but we had a reservation... More

This place is popular for a reason. The pizza is interesting and tasty. And for those that are looking for a gluten free option there is a GF menu and the pizza is fabulous.

I love Pizza... Let it be known.. My wife is from Chicago and we've had it all... BUT, the pizza here has it dialed in, period. The Detroit Square as its called was the beat pizza I've ever had! It's square so you get the nice crust on the edges and its thick.. Must try. Great vibe for sports (It's... More

We were there over spring break and crowds were crazy. This was our second time to go to Brown Dog's so we knew it would be worth it. We waited over an hour and a half! The hostess was kind of grumpy - I would be too if I was dealing with the massive crowd in the tiny pizza joint.... More
