Why Travelers Love Velvet Elvis

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.4 / 5.0(346 reviews)

I’m torn writing this review. Loved the atmosphere. Loved the service. Did NOT love the pizza. Just came home from Velvet Elvis. Looked at the reviews after coming home because I was curious what people said about the pizza. The consensus is “the pizza is not good.” It’s all about the crust. That’s what makes a good pizza. I could be completely wrong, but my theory is they use all purpose flour, instead of bread flour. It makes a world of difference to use a high quality bread flour for pizza dough, and I’m just a regular home cook. If someone from Velvet Elvis sees this, just try a bread flour pizza dough recipe for a couple of days. I bet your pizza reviews will skyrocket. Comment added 9/27/25. Well, guess my theory was wrong, according to the owner. 🍕 What a pleasant surprise! We somehow ended up at the Velvet Elvis in Patagonia — amazing atmosphere and delicious food. The hibiscus margaritas were fantastic! Awesome food. I'm vegan and In my group of 3, we had vegan, vegetarian and omnivore with dairy aversion. We all were very satisfied. I had a calfone that was amazing. They shared a pizza and salad. So fresh and tasty! Everyone that worked here was friendly and helpful.

Bad pizza. Great service. Phenomenal artwork and decor... Seriously it's worth stopping in just to gawk and have a drink. It cannot be forgiven that a place charging $65 for a specialty pizza that requires a two-hour notice can't make a decent slice. Purely a "well if they'll pay it I guess it's worth it" level of grossness. Get real.

Beautiful place. The art on the walls and of course along with The Velvet Elvis gives the place it’s own kind of laid back vibe with a side of class. There is a nice little store inside for shopping also with a very nice person to answer all your questions. The servers were gracious and knowledgeable. There was also a beautiful place to sit outside. Not dog friendly. The food was delicious and filling. I would definitely go back.
