Hungry Bird Pizza

Josh crafts thin-crust, vegetable-loaded pies at Hungry Bird Pizza, a Paonia spot situated at the south end of Grand Avenue. The restaurant operates on a limited schedule, open Mondays and Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., accepting call-in orders for pickup. Customers praise the fermented dough and homemade sauce as the foundation for a crust that balances thinness with crispiness. Toppings include green peppers, mushrooms, onions, jalapeños, pepperoni, and sausage, all layered over well-seasoned red sauce. The atmosphere encourages patience, with diners often grabbing a beer at the neighboring brewery while waiting for their pie. Josh’s approach emphasizes quality ingredients and generous portions, resulting in what locals consider the best pizza in the area. The business accepts credit cards and offers wheelchair accessibility.
