Nonno’s Family Pizza Tavern

Amp up your dopamine levels with pure nineties pizza parlor nostalgia at Nonno’s Family Pizza Tavern in Montrose. From the folks behind Nobie’s and Toasted Coconut, Nonno’s is part pizza restaurant, part heal-your-inner-child paradise. Although the restaurant’s decor is aggressively colorful, the muted earth and the faint chimes emanating from Nonno’s mini-arcade will keep you in a state of pure bliss. As will hand-breaded mozzarella sticks with smoked tomato marinara, Midwest tavern thin crust pizzas topped with pineapple or giardiniera, and chunky slices of cheesecake. So swig back a $1 shot of Malort and feel like a kid again (sort of).
