Awesome Neapolitan-style thin crust pizza! I didn't try the thick crust pie. Very congenial staff on the phone taking my order. Gave them a pick-up time several hours from the phone order. Pizza came out of the oven hot and ready to eat on arrival for pick-up!!! One of the few pizza joints that know the importance of anchovies. Buon manga! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Bad dining service n small portions. We only saw our waitress when she brought our food and check......To go is WAY better with bigger portions and complimentary bread therefore 2 stars

Love this placed. However, recently I got a to go order but they made me the wrong dish. By the time it was time for me to eat I was half hour away and too late to get fixed. The dish I received was bland.

I hadn't been there in years, but went in for dinner last night. It was just as delicious as I remember. I usually get the three mushroom sauce over pasta with shrimp . My taste buds thanked me all night long . Thank you for consistently making delicious food.

Best Pizza I have ever had. Before we left I walked around the restaurant admiring all of the artwork on the walls by Gary Larson. If you go there, make sure to check out the painting on the ceiling and look closely. I won't give it away but it is a MUST see.

Such a romantic, out if the ordinary place. On the outside, it looks like a simple pizzeria, you have to really look through the window and drapes to see inside, from the outside 😀.. once inside, the decor is very authentic looking & its quaint and quiet. The food is filling & delicious.. a must

Awesome place! Stopped in for their lunch and had the salad which had Great toppings and a personal pizza which was amazing! I asked the server about the pizza and everything is made fresh. Even pepperoni is cut fresh, cheese is freshly grated, hand made dough. Staff was very nice as well. Would definitely recommend!

Ordered a pizza for carryout, was given an estimated pickup time of 25-30 minutes, so not too bad. The pizza, however, was so-so. The crust tasted worse than the big pizza chains, it was super bland and so dry that it crumbled. It reminds me of cheap frozen pizza, there are better options in town.

My favorite pizza ever. I’ve been coming to this place since I was a kid and I still love coming here.
The margherita with extra basil is the best.

Waitstaff was friendly, but a bit slow, had to wait quote awhile for desert to go, and the cheesecake wasn't good. There were several menu items that weren't available, like garlic bread, not sure how an Italian restaurant can be out of garlic bread? My calzone was very good. Pretty average place

Waiters were kind of slow, but friendly. I ordered chicken Alfredo with green chilis. It was good, not the best Alfredo I've ever had though. They were out of a lot of menu items so that was a bummer. The cheesecake was actually really bad and chocolate cake average.Overall average experience.

I ordered a takeout lunch at 1.30pm. The pesto spaghetti was quite bland and watery - my kids didn't really want to eat it, and they are obsessed with pesto pasta. The Margherita pizza was also quite basic and bland - I could have sworn the dough was just a frozen pizza base. All round disappointing. If it wasn't Covid I'd probably have given two stars, but I don't wish any small business in this day and age to suffer. I can only hope they will read these reviews and up their game a bit to deliver a bit more flavor.

We ordered pizza, pasta and garlic bread to go tonight. Got the penne mushroom pasta and added chicken, the sauce was SO good I could not get enough of it . Ordered the margarita pizza which had a ton of tomatoes and nice thin crust

Garlic bread was soft and excellent and fresh.

Definitely would get more pasta dishes next time!

I love the Greek pizza here! Very friendly staff, one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Fe! I have tried anything else yet because I love the Greek pizza so much, but all the food coming out of the kitchen looks amazing!

Ordered 2 pizzas to be delivered. Recieved an order confirmation and charge card charged. Order never showed up. Restaurant didn't answer 4 phone calls. Recording says voice mailbox is full so couldn't leave message. I'm out $41. Will pay a visit to restaurant tomorrow for refund. Unbelievable.

Great food but the server is a grumpy grouch very rude sarcastic she must be a family member for letting her hang around I'm guessing She belongs in the back washing dishes away from the public..

Really rude woman took our order, was hoping it was not indicative of the food quality but my hopes were dashed. The salmon portion is smaller than before and made with a new marinade (not good. It dripped oil everywhere and had an unpleasant tang). The dressing too was disgustingly oily and improperly made, the photos were taken after being shaken multiple times.
The quality and service has nosedived to a new low, seek palatable food somewhere else

My husband and I stopped at a small discreet restaurant. Pizzeria Espiritu, Edwin was our host and waiter and he did a great job . Very knowledgeable about the food he's serving , And very polite. The ambience was warm and inviting . The music playing was our absolute favorite ! I ordered the 3 mushroom pasta and my husband got the linguine and salmon . Our appetizer was their garlic bread with fresh marinara sauce . We enjoyed everything we had . My word of advice to you saver every bite because the Chef cooked up 2 amazing dishes . We will definitely be back again!

I have lived in Santa Fe for 10 years and still hadn't tried Esperitu. Beuno's was closed so I used Esperitu's online ordering sytem and got a 12" supreme, a 12" Esperitu, and a Caprisi salad. When I got there they said they made me a Margherita instead of the Esperitu. Would that be okay?
No, it would not.
Don't bother with this place. The crust is dull and lifeless. The sauce is bland. The toppings have no flavor. My Caprisi salad was ok, nothing special.
Domino's is better

We were staying one night and Santa Fe, and came here for take out lunch. The man at the front counter was the epitome of a customer service professional. He was great with recommendations and they turned out to be spot on. I got tortellini in a spicy Italian sausage sauce. I'm not big on spice, but he kindly let me know that it wasn't too spicy. He was right. The food was delicious, but his customer service will leave a lasting impression.

We're new to Santa Fe, and needed our Friday night pizza fix.

In spite of the Blizzard That Ate Santa Fe 2018, we got our order quickly and with fantastic, cheerful service. Our order was taken by phone by a courteous, pleasant young man who assured us that the 16-foot deep snow drifts would not deter their delivery service. He cautioned that, due to the arctic weather, delivery was overwhelmed and would take a while.

Contrary to his dire warnings, the pizza arrived in a reasonable time, toasty warm. The delivery driver was also cheerful and a pleasure to deal with - in spite of braving

Great local gem! Service lacked enthusiasm but we had great company to make up for it.

The espiritu salad (jicama, yum!), pizza espiritu, meat marinara (you get to choose your top of pasta) and garlic bread are all 5-stars. Awesome fresh flavors and right price for the portion size.

If you are craving good Italian, do try this delight.

I'm underwhelmed by Pizzeria Espíritu. We got takeout tonight- 2 pasta dishes- the seafood marinara and the spaghetti marinara with Italian meatball. The total (after tax) was more than $32 for what I would call a very ordinary (not super delicious) couple of plates of pasta. The portions are not huge, just average. At that price point, I would expect a more gourmet experience. I don't think we'll be back anytime soon. I think there are a handful of less expensive (or equally expensive) more delicious options. I'm not saying don't try it (who knows, their pizza could be

Everyone I was with left totally satisfied. The three mushroom sauce and the pesto alfredo were really nice. All the vegetables appeared to be fresh. The staff was friendly and attentive and food came out in a reasonable time. Substitutions are allowed. Interior decor is nice and well put together.

We ordered a pizza to be delivered to our hotel, and it was good. It came in a reasonable amount of time, and it hit the spot. I have family here, and I am always on the search for good pizza
Definitely worth checking out!
