Brutal Pie — Local services in Grand Junction

My wife and I came from the front range to spend the weekend doing the tourist thing of riding bikes from winery to winery. We had a great time but found that A. none of the wineries have any kind of food and B. it's hard to find a place to eat in Palisade on a Monday. Fortunately, the owner of Spoke and Vine motel had given us a heads up that Brutal Pie would be at the motel on Monday evening for Locals' Night. We wrapped up our day by rolling into the motel parking lot and ordered a Sicilian classic with pepperoni. While we waited for our pie to be ready, we watched a few local folks excitedly getting pizza to bring home (a great sign!).

The crust was tasty and started out perfectly chewy (although perhaps the rainy weather impacted their dough a bit, not really complaining). Can't wait to try some of the other menu offerings; these (intelligent) folks obviously understand how to build a pizza.

The bus is brilliant...and really worth hunting down using...

My husband and I got a round pie (thinner crust vs the square pie)- half Feast of Fungus and half Bomb Dot Com because we couldn’t decide. Super friendly staff!! They were posted up at Ramblebine Brewing, so we sat outside and enjoyed some tasty beers while we waited. This pizza is AMAZING. Perfectly crisp, and not too floppy. Easily the best pizza I’ve had in a very long time, and my husband agreed! Make sure to check out their website to find out where the bus is parked! We will definitely be returning to...
