About Us / Brown Dog Pizza History:

In 2001, Dan Lynch started VZF Pizza, LLC in Telluride, Colorado with a partner who stayed with the business until the fall of 2002. Under the auspices of this company Pacific Street Pizza was born. The following year, Jeff Smokevitch and Joe Carena became VZF Pizza, LLC partners.\n\nBoone of Brown Dog PizzaThe three then co-founded Brown Dog Pizza in May 2004. It's named after their brown dogs, Boone and Phlounder. Both Brown Dog Pizza and Pacific Street Pizza offer east-coast style, thin-crust pizza and an array of hot & cold subs, salads and pastas, along with various daily specials. After a short hiatus in late 2004, Brown Dog Pizza reopened in the spring of 2005 in the historic building that once housed Sofios. While Pacific Street Pizza offers a ski town pizza shop atmosphere with limited seating off of the beaten path, Brown Dog Pizza offers a sports bar atmosphere, live music, and a full bar right in the center of town.\n\nWe proudly prepare our dough and sauce from scratch. In addition, we use "grande" cheese and only the freshest pizza toppings. Stop by Brown Dog Pizza while you're in Telluride. It will be an experience you won't forget!
