3. Go for a pie

You’ll get to see Amicas’s wood-fired pizzas baking in the open kitchen’s oven kiln before you even take your first bite. Kick up your slice a few degrees with the chile-infused oil. As Salida’s only micro- brewery, Amicas has hefty seasonal beers (try the chocolaty porter) that add to the glow. $; 136 E. Second St.; 719/539-5219.
