Rocky Mountain Flatbread
Day & Time of Happy Hour: Daily 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm; 8:00 pm – Close
Rocky Mountain Flatbread is famous for its great thin crust, wood-fired pizzas. The food itself is adorable, but the classic decoration and welcoming, cozy, home-y ambiance are lovely as well.
Even though pizzas aren’t available in the Happy Hour menu, their other dishes are all crazy good and worth trying. Start with some Garlic Prawns, which is well-seasoned and can melt right in your mouth; then move on with Warm Flatbread that is served with house made hummus.
