Best pizza on the east side of the mountain. They have beer and wine too. The green chile breadsticks are especially good.

Great views while riding in the tram up to the top. You have to drive around to the Albuquerque side of the mountain to catch the tram, and it's not free. Tip: If you make a reservation for the restaurant at the top (High Finance) the tram ticket is cheaper. The food up there is not great, but the view is spectacular! Take a coat; it's cold up there.
