"I mean, not only is it local to me. 3 blocks.
But even if I was traveling through, I would make it a point to stop and have a world famous pizza let's do it clean, nice staff and friendly atmosphere."

"Sweet dough pizza! I know, sounds weird, but I was amazing! It’s like half way between a deep dish and a regular pizza made with dough that tastes similar to Mexican sweet bread. I normally like thin crust, but this is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. It’s loaded with toppings and I loved every bite."

Do Drop Inn owner Donna MacFarlane’s unusual pizza crust recipe was born of necessity: In 1977, MacFarlane and her then-husband were in the process of purchasing a bar in downtown Pueblo. The space was home to a well-established spot that sold pizza, “but at the last minute, they decided not to sell us their pizza recipes,” MacFarlane says.
