Aspen is known for its world-class dining scene, and while we live with capacity limits on indoor dining, our local restaurants have established new takeout offerings. Nearly every eatery will package up your favorite dish for pick-up, but we have put together a list of the takeout heroes: Aspen restaurants that make dining in your vacation rental a wonderful experience.
Pizza
A new crop of pizza providers has popped up during the pandemic, and our guests now have many choices for this dine-in staple.
- White House Tavern creates artisanal personal pizzas with a focaccia-like crust.
- Propaganda Pie offers Detroit-style personal pizzas and creative signature topping combinations. Pick up from behind Pepperjack's Café with easy parking..
- Aspen Tap dishes up 12-inch sourdough pies. Add a six-pack of locally brewed beer to round out your perfect night in.
- Limelight Lounge is a locals' favorite with their 10-inch, gourmet pizzas. We love the Prosciutto Crudo with arugula and truffle oil, a quintessential taste of Aspen. Gluten-free crust is available!
Gourmet Homestyle
After a day on the ski slopes, a hearty meal is a must! These eateries offer satisfying meals with a gourmet take on traditional favorites.
- Mawa's Kitchen has something for every taste on its menu, which is easy to order from for parties of two or 20. New this winter, Chef Mawa McQueen offers family-style meals that include an entrée as well as a soup or salad for about $20 per person.
- Meat & Cheese is known for its farm-to-table cuisine, and this winter they are only offering takeout. The signature “boards” are great for family-style dining, and the entrees are unique and satisfying.
Asian
From sushi to dim sum, these Aspen restaurants bring Asian flavors to our alpine setting.
- Jing Aspen brings together many Asian influences, from its sushi menu and raw bar to its dim sum offerings.

Italian
There's nothing quite as satisfying as a steaming plate of freshly made pasta and a cold winter night, and these Aspen restaurants have perfected the art of Italian dining.
- Acquolina is a trattoria & pizzeria, offering simple, perfect Italian cuisine.
