All I can say is what a treat. This spot came highly recommended by our motel check in host and did not disappoint. From the water tasting a little like the cream soda they make in house (which was just apart of the cool experience) to the recommendation by the bartender to try the Jal-zone, this place was truly superior (and I say this coming from the Tri-state area). Would recommend trying the cream cheese/jalapeno combo in whatever form of pizza you get, completely unmatched. We asked our bartender the best thing to do in Salida and she suggested the hike to S mountain. We took the rec, and loved it! Don’t miss this spot on your journey to Salida even if you’re just passing through!

Best pizza in Colorado? Great homemade crust, great flavor, cooked perfectly. Definitely one of the best pizzas I have had in a long time. Cute place. Nice atmosphere. Very comfortable. Lots of beers to choose from. Specialty mocktails like the Arkansas River root beer float are good and very popular. The GF / DF pizza my wife ordered was flavorful but burned and should have been sent back. I would definitely come back. Try it. You will not be disappointed unless it involves the GF crust.

For starters when you walk up to the restaurant there is such a welcoming look to it. When you walk in you are greeted by the employees. The restaurant is extremely clean. The service was spectacular! The meal portions are a decent size and worth your money. The restrooms were clean. The food came out very quick. I am impressed with this restaurant and definitely want to come back next time I’m in Salida. 10 out of 10 recommend this place!

I do not leave negative reviews lightly. Moonlight has been one of our regular stops in Salida for years, which makes this especially disappointing to write. Over our last several visits there has been a clear and consistent decline in both service and management.
While the food itself is still good, it no longer justifies the frustration that comes with dining here. We have experienced forgotten items that never made it to the table, servers who took our order and then were nowhere to be found, and extremely poor timing of food out of the kitchen with items coming out a significant amount of time apart. On one visit our pizza was delivered while our child’s meal was still missing. After asking for an update, it took another 25 minutes to arrive. To make matters worse, we were then double charged for that late kids meal.
These are not isolated incidents. This has become a pattern, and it reflects larger issues with oversight and consistency. I genuinely want to continue supporting Moonlight, because it has been a staple for us when visiting Salida. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary adjustments. The food is good and the foundation is there. With stronger service and attention to detail, Moonlight could easily return to being a place we are excited to visit again.

So glad we decided to give moonlight a try last week! Our server Julez is an absolute gem! She was very knowledgeable of the drinks and food. She suggested we get bacon on the Mirkwood and also cream cheese and jalapeños on the cosmic Hawaiian and boy was it good! And that Pumkin Ale she suggested was on point ! She made our whole experience awesome. Great food! Great people!

Pizza is good, but nothing special, imo. Staff was nice. The reason for taking one star off was the water cups and pitcher were nasty, and the “clean” plates they gave us were still wet with dishwater. Id say the staff needs to learn how to wash dishes properly. Its not that hard and they weren’t busy, so no excuses. Also another minus star becasue the green chile is bland and weak. Also pretty expensive considering. But thats pretty much all of salida restaurants.

stopped in for dinner and everything we ordered was fantastic! don’t miss out on the specialty drink menu. we had the cheesy bread, garlic parm wings, chicken Cesar salad and a philly. the food was amazing, the wings were beyond good, crispy and lathered in sauce. the homemade dressings are 10/10. highly recommend. also love the atmosphere, attentive service and pop punk playing in the background.
