Granelli's Pizzeria

Great Chi-town pizza. We need a location in the Colorado Springs area. Any chance making that happen?

Ok we have now found one of our new favorite pizza places in C Rock! We've lived here for 8 years and have never been. Well we have been missing out! This place is delicious! Service was great on a Saturday night and the pizza was absolutely fabulous. We will be back and highly recommend. We got the thin crust with pepperoni, spicy sausage and onion. Definitely give it a try!

We were out and decided to stop into Granelli's Pizza. A super nice little restaurant. They have the open garage doors to circulate air and give you a little view. We ordered some Garlic Cheese Bread and a 14" Pepperoni Pizza. The Garlic Cheese Bread was cooked perfectly, not too much garlic on it. The dipping sauce was nice and smooth. The pepperoni was cooked under the cheese on the pizza, the sauce is made with San Marzano tomatoes which are super flavorful. The crust is paper thin and cooked perfectly. Are server was Amy and she was wonderful. Timely ensuring drinks were filled. Everyone needs to check this place out, you won't be disappointed. Just an FYI, they have been in business since

Update:appreciate you condemning the behavior that came from some people inside your restaurant during the Douglas County Parade in the first several sentences of your reply. You then went on to question the validity of what I wrote and say that I made false accusations on a public forum, which makes your opening sentences feel a bit disingenuous to me. Granelli's support of the PRIDE Prom and employment of members of the LGBTQ community is admirable, but it also does not mean that what happened last Saturday is untrue and was not worthy of being called out. Thank you.------I participated in the Douglas County Parade this past weekend, and I was walking with the Democratic candidates, some of whom were carrying Pride flags to signify our recognition and inclusion to the LGBTQ community. When we passed Granelli's Pizzeria, the people inside loudly booed our group and several shouted out insults like "F*gs aren't welcome here!"Because the parade took place before their regular business hours, I'm not sure if Granelli's was open early or if it was a private gathering of employees, but it clearly reflected on the business and illustrated that anyone in the LGBTQ community was not welcome there. I am an LGBTQ ally, and although I have eaten at Granelli's a handful of times and enjoyed their food, I will not patronize them again and encourage anyone else who agrees that this behavior is despicable and unacceptable in our community to do the same until a formal apology is issued publicly. There were families with children who witnessed this blatant incivility, and Granneli's Pizzeria has an opportunity to do the right thing and publicly condemn this behavior and apologize to the community.

Updated: Thank you for your thoughtful response. I am grateful to learn of your commitments to decency and fairness. Therefore retract my previous review and change it for the better. I appreciate all that you said and thank you for all that you do.

We knew not to trust the 3 star review of this place and we were right! The pizza is so good! This is our new favorite thin crust pizza in the area. Definitely authentic Chicago style.

Everyone in this restaurant is very rude ... and don't seem to care they are rude. This is my 3rd time getting pizza here -- twice now it's been wrong. And when you say anything even the manager / owner (wasn't sure which) is rude. Never eating here again. And I see a lot of people on Nextdoor saying the same thing...so not just me. How do they stay in business? They don't even have the best pizza in Castle Rock - there are so many other wonderful choices. Including Parry's (yummy) which also has a great team/staff! Why does anyone put up with these people? They don't deserve your money.

I was in the very front window seat of Granellis this past weekend during the parade. Granelli's opens at 8am EVERY weekend for breakfast so we got there at 8 to get a good seat and a great breakfast. I have to mention, I was sitting next to my LESBIAN sister in law and across from my bi-sexual daughter. Our waitress, also lesbian was fantastic!!! Granelli's staff is one of the most diverse you will find around!!!Once the parade started, a male customer, not in our party, saw the Democratic portion of the parade and boo'd from the window. I quickly asked him, to please stop. Everyone has a right to believe what the believe and March in any parade! He boo'd a couple more times and then sat back in his seat with his very embarrassed wife! She thanked me for asking him to stop.It was a very unfortunate part of the morning. But in no way is this a reflection of Granelli's beliefs, morals or values. This was ONE immature customer- no employees had anything to do with this.Here are a couple of my pics. Yes I was there and in the window. Unfortunately heard and saw it all.Owner has NO reason to apologize. She was not involved nor were any employees.

Granelli's has fantastic pizza, and a great staff. We love going on a mild summer evening when they have the garage doors open, but it is a great atmosphere regardless. We came for breakfast and both pizzas were fantastic. Our favorite for dinner is the beesting!

Our family recently moved to the area and I was looking for some pizza for delivery. I used Google maps and found Granelli's Pizza. I called to place an order and found out I would have to pick it up because they do not deliver. I was told that I would have to pick up at 12:00 because they had about 18 pizzas ahead of me. No problem, I picked up a large "Meatsa" and a large "Kitchen Sink". While there I checked out the restaurant for dine-in options. It looked like a nice little restaurant however very hot without A/C.It turned out that we all loved the pizza and would compare it somewhat to Mannie and Bo's from Golden.Not less than a week later, on a Sunday ~6:00PM we dined in and had another "Meatsa". The place was very busy and the service was extremely slow. The waitresses seemed to be very frazzled. We also noticed that when you seat yourself, the wait staff does not know who came in and in what order, and we ended up placing our order much later than two other tables that came in AFTER we did. No biggie, I noted to myself that when you come to Granellis, don't be in a hurry. We had a great pizza with slow service. The cheese these guys use is the best and reminded me of my local pizza joint in my hometown, Alfano's Pizza of Oregon, IL that was part of the Pizza Connection.Last night we took my son and his girlfriend to Ganellis and that is when it all changed for us. I made sure me and my guests were there early so we had time to wait for what I explained would be slow service. They seated us this time, which I liked because we got the menus without asking the waitstaff for them. Our party of five ordered a Meatsa and a white pizza with pepperoni. We also had two draft beers for the two of us dudes, and his girlfriend had a spiked lemonade from the menu. It was Saturday night and they were somewhat busy, but not all tables were full. The waitress could not do the math on my son's girlfriends ID, but it seemed like she finally figured it out. When the waitress delivered our drinks, she asked to see my son's GF for her ID again. Maybe she was practicing for a math test? :-)Out meatsa pizza came out first after approximately 40 minutes and the white pizza 5 minutes after. We mentioned to the waitress that it was supposed to have pepperoni. She proceeded to check her note and said "yep, I messed up". She offered two options for us and missed out on the third. Our options were "bring a side of pepperoni" or "have them put pepperoni on the pizza and run it through again". Neither of these was appealing to any of us and were surprised there was no offer to remake the pie correctly. I said, "yeah a side of pepperoni is OK I guess." When she brought out the pepperoni, we ordered another round of drinks. When she came out with the drinks she must have noticed that we were not eating the white pizza and talked us into running it through again and adding pepperoni. We thanked her for the suggestion and she ran it through again.The white pizza finally showed itself again. It was like a zombie pizza, it just wouldn't go away. Now it was brown on the edges and looked like a Tontino's frozen pizza cooked by a child. She mentioned that she spoke with the manager and they were taking 20% off of this bad pizza. I thanked her and then ordered a third beer casue the place was hot (no A/C) and everything was taking some time. When our waitress delivered my beer, it was like 1.25" from full. None of them had really been full, this time it was obvious, so I mentioned it to her. She took it back and filled it. No one was eating the white pizza and we made the decision to order a "Meatsa" to go. We were ready for another 30 minutes of waiting but the dinner rush was clearing out. I asked the waitress if she could do better than 20% off on the pizza because we had eaten less than 10% of the pizza with all the slices (squares) still on our plates and we had no intention of taking it home. She said she would ask the manager. She came back and then told us that the manager was empowered to only deduct 20%. I asked to speak with the manager and that's when the S%^t hit the fan.The tattooed faced manager came out, we showed her the zombie pizza, and highlighted the fact that we had eaten less than 10% but were being charged for 80% of the dumpster-fire pizza. (of course I didn't use those terms) She came in hot to begin with and stated that they had offered to re-make the pie and we laughed that the offer was never made. I parroted the two options given to us. We also mentioned that we had been very patient with the slow (lack of) service and she rebutted that they were very busy and that the place was slammed for a Friday night. I made the mistake of telling here that it was "Saturday, all day", and that must've really pissed her off. She then proceeded to tell us to pay our tab and get the "F" out. I was shocked that I was being talked to like this but then looked
