Friendly service and delicious pizza. One of the best pizzas I've eaten. The building dates back to the mining days and actually leans which adds a rustic charm, and perhaps is the origin of the name I would assume?

I had a chef's salad and an Italian sandwich. Both were very good. Salad was large and full of chopped items you would expect in a chef's salad. The Italian sub was approximately 8 in. It was thick with cheese and pepperoni and other Italian sandwich items. Seems like items listed on the Google menu are correct. I will follow up with a pizza review.

Truly great pizza. As with any eatery in a (very) small town, it'd be easy to do the bare minimum required to justify asking for money. But the Leaning Tower of Pizza offers great service and great pizza at a very fair price. I've eaten pizza all over the world including Italy - and I'd put this pizza up there with the upper end of all of them. Worth the drive if you're in the area.

Absolutely fabulous place to get your pizza cravings satisfied! We recently had friends treat us to the Super Taco pizza and a Hawaiian (Canadian Bacon and Pineapple). Every piece was devoured! They want to get the Chicken Royale or Basin Street Blues when they come back again.

It is one of our favorite pizza places. I haven't tried a pizza yet that I don't like. The people there have always been friendly and provided great service. If you are not already stuffed from the great food I highly recommend the Holdenator (cookie with ice cream).

We are talking legit good home made pizza in an old mining gohst town . The town itself is worth checking out. Located on the Boulder river with amazing history, and beautiful early 1900's buildings. Great access to the forest service, and darn good pizza. The menu is large, if you can dream it I'm sure they can make it. Made from scratch crust... And it's great. Well balanced sauce. Fresh toppings, and she doesn't go light on the cheese !! A multitude of beverages, amazing salads , scratch soup, and heck you can even get a sandwich if you would like. I drove 3 hours one way to try them out. There were a couple of locals in there and everyone one else had driven at least 40 miles for pizza. And we all left towns behind that had pizza joints in them . Take the trip, have a slice, and while you're there go soak in the Sun Shine radon mine... But that's another review.
