Fired Up Pizzeria

Pizza discussions can be polarizing, and you’re not trying to break up with your friend group while you’re here. Avoid the risk by finding a spot that everyone can agree on. For Durango, this is Fired Up: a wood-fired pizza restaurant right in the heart of Downtown. 

Fired Up’s pizzas stand out from the other options around town with their Neapolitan-style pies, high-quality ingredients, and dough that’s made from scratch. The menu includes a nice selection of regular and specialty pies—the crowd-pleasing pepperoni is a strong option, and their bacon green chile pie with smoked mozzarella is also a winner. You can also build your own with any of their available ingredients. 

The interior is large and they also offer outdoor seating, including a rooftop patio when it’s warm out. Lunch is the perfect time to eat here—you’ll see fewer crowds and can get back to exploring the downtown area on a full belly afterward.
