Taos Pizza Out Back

Wes Kirchner

Taos Pizza Outback is a cute little spot for pizza in Taos. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful, and their selection of draft beers is fun. Be warned though, since the dough and pizza is made fresh with each order, expect a 1 to 1.5 hour wait. Can’t wait to go back!

Stopped in for lunch today. 4 slices, 3 salads, 4 drinks, 2 desserts. Our server was wonderful, she really made us feel welcome and taken care of. Food was mostly good, as it has been for the past 30 years that we've been eating here. However, one of our slices was raw and gummy. No big deal. It happens. It had a lot of wet toppings and we assumed it just changed the texture of the crust or something. It was the Shredder, which we get often and it's usually delicious, but this slice was much different than usual. The dough seemed kind of raw or something. Since it wasn't really edible we decided to mention it to the server, who was wonderful and immediately apologized and said she would see what she could do. When we got the check we saw that nothing had been discounted, and asked her about it. She said that the manager wasn't able to do anything for us. Since the slice wasn't edible, it kind of felt strange, so we asked to speak to the manager thinking that maybe she had misunderstood the situation. The server came back a few minutes later and said that the manager had done a 5 percent discount. The bill was just over $100, so we figured we would just let it go at this point. Until we realized that she had discounted....5 percent of the SLICE! .55 cents....At this point it felt very strange and we asked again to speak to the manager, thinking she must've made a mistake. She finally came to our table with the meanest attitude and said that she did indeed mean to discount 5 percent of the inedible slice and said that was all she was authorized to offer from the owner. When we asked if their policy was to not offer to remake the food or refund the food when it is inedible she visibly sneered. It was surreal. We gave the server a 20 percent tip and moved on with our lives, but are writing this in hopes that the owner will read and help her work on customer service, and customer relations. One of us is a local business owner, who sends out of towners to this restaurant, and the other is a local business manager who does the same. We are sisters and have been coming to Pizza Outback since we were young, and now bring the next generation of the family, as well as friends and colleagues in whenever we can. We have never been so insulted and had someone be so unbelievably....condescending? Inappropriate? Mean? in all of our years dining out. So disappointed.

Anytime I get by Taos I stop here, the staff is friendly and the pizza is great. This time we got a Shredder with Italian sausage and that was delicious. (Sorry, the pic doesn't do it justice) Great drinks selection and beautiful patio

This pizza is the best in northern NM including Santa Fe. Really great vegetarian options. The Greek salad was phenomenal! Had a couple beers too. Fresh food and tasty!
