edpaffjr.comAnother great meal my family had while in Estes Park this past weekend was courtesy of Poppy’s Pizza and Grill. I had actually been to this restaurant with my wife once or twice before. During the summer the wait for a table can easily be a couple if hours, but during this offseason we were seated right away.
The first thing I recalled on this return visit was their surprisingly great selection of beers. I started with Brewery Ommegang’s Three Philosophers after my first choice was out of stock. Others in the group had Pliny the Elder, Estes Park Brewery’s Longs Peak Raspberry Wheat, and a nice variety of Belgians. I also added a Big Bear Black Stout from Bear Republic for desert. Delicious!
As far as the food goes, we all decided to split two different pizzas. Poppy’s Special came with Italian sausage, sautéed onion & green pepper, and fresh mushrooms. The Thai Pizza had a spicy peanut sauce (though not too spicy), red onion, chicken, broccoli, and water chestnuts. The Thai Pizza was our personal favorite but both were pretty good. If you can avoid the long waits, this restaurant is an easy choice for vacationers in Estes Park.
