Great pizza (also very tasty gluten free pizza) although my wife brought the pizza home and the toppings were wrong but… its Halloween so guessing they were busy and missed a few things.

Food was good, not great. Clam pizza wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for. Dessert tiramisu and cannoli were delicious! Would go again for sure, but don't need to make it a priority.
Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoyed it and it's family friendly, but not a ton of seating so not great for very large family groups.

I’m sad to have to post a negative review about one of our local businesses but I couldn’t NOT say anything either! My husband and I encountered the most unprofessional staff member tonight. Her name was ‘Ashley’ and she was just downright rude and obnoxious! It was 8:50, they closed at 9:30 and she was just very obviously pissed. Zero eye contact, ignored us for at least 5 minutes while she was scurrying around wiping down the bar right in front of us. Whispering to the other employees. Mind you there was still a table eating in the restaurant AND we had called b4 we walked over to make sure they were still open. They wouldn't serve us a tap beer- “taps are off” and were irritated by everything else we ordered. It was 8:50 on a Friday night!! I get it, I used to hate when people walked in last minute when I was a server/bartender but you still smile and deal With it! This wasn’t even last minute!! It’s called customer service. Or Work the day shift Ashley! WOW ? Unfortunately, we won’t be back!!

Service was good—friendly and attentive. Possibly the worst gluten-free pizza I have ever had, and that’s saying a lot because I’ve had some pretty bad ones.

Called in (because I was driving) asking if they have a veggie pizza, was told to check their website ourselves. Proto’s been our go-to restaurant for years, doesn’t look like they need our business anymore.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had in Boulder County. Our server, Sydney, was incredibly unknowledgeable about the menu and made multiple errors, including most egregiously misstating the "$5 bartender choice" drinks. At the table, we were told it was the "vodka soda and limoncello margarita, in case that changes our minds." My sister decided to order the drink, but when I received the bill, I noticed the drink was $15! When I asked our server about the mistake, rather than acknowledge that she had misspoke, she proceeded to gaslight my table about what she had said us. The other staff members immediately jumped to Sydney's defense at the register and started berating me for questioning the price. Instead of making a scene at the restaurant, I paid the bill, but I do intend to follow up tomorrow with Proto's management. I'll update this review depending on the response I received. Also, the food wasn't great for the price.

Protos' Pizza is not bad. It's fair to middling food. What will stop us from returning is their 3% fee for "employee PTO". As anyone familiar with my reviews knows, I can't tolerate the practice of tacking on unpublished fees so a company can virtue signal. If you want to provide your employees with a "living wage", or PTO, then pay them more. If you can't do it at your current prices, raise your prices. Let the market determine if your product is worth it. Don't trick your customers into making you feel like you're good people.
So, Protos is dead to me. There are untold number of restaurants who don't lie to me.
Remember, whatever price you see on the menu, the real price is 3% more.

Delizioso! Ottimo!!! Perfect caesar salad and true Italian pizza! The best Caesar salad in Colorado! salad dressed lightly with real fresh homemade caesar dressing and topped with a white anchovy and shaved parm! Topped with fresh rosemary garlic toast. The atomic pizza was fantastic, just like Italian pizza! super thin crunchy crust, hint of peppers in tomato sauce, lovely italian sausage…All the flavors in the pizza were perfectly balanced and delicious! You could taste every single ingredient in the pizza, perfecto!
This is a cute little bistro style restaurant where everything is delicious and fresh homemade. You can enjoy dining inside or on the quaint patio hidden by little trees.

Could this be the worst pizza I've ever had? Got two small pizzas for takeout after a day of skiing a few months ago. Imagine taking a flour tortilla, adding sauce, and then a layer bagged pre-shredded cheese and you'd be looking at the equivalent (both visually and in taste) to what I spent $28 on. Inconceivable!
The food was ok, nothing great. They were busy and the restaurant is small and they were trying to hold a table for 11 people who were showing up later. That's half the place! Everything seemed rushed. There is always take out.
