Proto's Pizza - Longmont

Great wood-fired pizza, but the pricing is a little wild if you ask me. I ordered the Hula pie and my husband got the Margherita DOCG. He's a huge fan of Margherita pizza and this easily landed in his top 3. I think the authenticity made it perfect.As for my pizza, it was pretty good. I didn't have any life changing experiences eating it. It got the job done: fed me without making me shit my pants later.One thing I will add is that it's not very filling. You could nearly eat a whole large by yourself before realizing what you've done. Another thing is they added an "employee benefits" charge to our to-go bill. I wish we noticed that before tipping because I absolutely hate when restaurants try to shirk their responsibility of paying their workers a living wage and instead make their customers pay. Not cool.

We are pizza snobs to start out. It takes a lot to impress us, and the first way to our heart was that Proto offers HALF BAKED PIES!!! So you can finish them on your own stone when you get home or are actually ready to eat. This is the first place we have ever come across that has allowed this. We ordered 3 medium pies so we could try a variety. They are super thin and crispy and just amazing. Honestly, my least fav out of the 3 was the Angel pie just because it was so plain after I tasted the other two. We happened to show up during happy hour 4pm, so we ordered drinks while we waited. It was a $1 off all alcohol drinks. The bartender was super nice.

Has the quality of Proto's pizza gone down hill?When you pay $25 for a large pepperoni mushrooms onion and cheese pizza and the topping are very scarce something has changed?I know that it must be getting harder to keep a restaurant profitable with inflation, but cutting back on quality is not the way to do it. Maybe it is the person making the pie?One can get a Safeway pizza with better quality.Roma pizza is charging a surcharge to cover more costly ingredient costs maintaining quality.Well maybe will give Proto's another chance after a period of time?

Pizza pizza!! This place has a wood fire grill and is mmm mmm good! We came and got the margarita and the ruby pie. Both were absolutely on point!Take out was SUPER easy. Mask required to enter. They had it exactly on time today for us (Monday evening) and the foot traffic was light. They had some signs up saying that no mask was required if you were a dine in guest - but i didn't see anyone seating in the restaurant. Two larges, and one small traditional pizza for the kiddo came out right under $50 and made our evening. Thanks very much Proto's!!

Can you leave a zero star review? Well this place is a sham. They advertise their super sweet oven, but that doesn't mean the dough they use is good. In fact I've made pizzas at home with flour tortillas that were far superior. They successfully destroyed a classic, the Margarita Pizza. Seriously, they slapped some canned stewed tomatoes, some day old basil, and "fresh" mozzarella. I attached the photos for confirmation. Fresh mozzarella doesn't melt like shown in the photo. Second, there was hardly any cheese at all on these pizzas. We got a gf and regular crust. No flavor, and not even worth eating in my opinion. Quite surprised others feel so highly about this place. Stay away!

Here's the thing. I grew up in a big East Coast city where many Italians owned pizza shops. They were the best in the nation. It seems impossible to find the same quality of pizza anywhere in Colorado. I've tried. Some are pretty good and others are terrible. My wife and I went to Protos the other evening and it was the worst ever. The worst. Not even a contest. In fact it didn't resemble a pizza at all. The crust was like a saltine cracker without the salt. There was hardly any cheese on the pizza and there were globs of tomato. WTF?? I normally wouldn't write such a review because I like to give a place a chance. We used to eat at Protos once in a while, maybe twice a year, and this is the first time we've been back in at least a year. It was the worst ever. If you know what real pizza should look like, taste like, smell like, and feel like then this will be the biggest waste of time and money ever. Whole Foods, which has so-so pizza is a million times better than this joke of an excuse for pizza. Just TERRIBLE!! I was reminded of that guy who gives pizza reviews on the internet, Dave Portnoy. He would have taken one look at it and then a courtesy bite and given it a minus 10.

Food was absolutely delicious, service was impeccable, Great Ambiance overall a great pizza place. My favorite employee that was there when I went was a dude named Brady. He was absolutely the best. Would come again just to see that amazing dude again.

The pizza here is awful. There is no way this place is related to the other Porto's. The pizza is bland and tastes like it came out of a box on a grocery shelf almost as good as Chef Boy RD.

Always like Protos for its ambiance, great service,and of course large variety of thin crust pizza. It gets crowded at dinner time and isn't very large so get there early or off hrs.

Great wood fired pizza. We ordered two pizzas, The Goombah and a Hula Pie for take out for lunch. They were ready in 12 minutes for pick up. The toppings were reasonable for the size and type of pizza. The pizza was hot and baked as a wood fired pizza should be. The crust was thin and the edges were crisp. If you are looking for the heavily topped regular or thick breast crust style pizza, this isn't your style of pizza. This is well made, thin crisp crust wood fired pizza.
