    Beau Jo's Pizza

    1517 Miner St., Idaho Springs Mountains

    303-567-4376

    , ,
    Beau Jo's Pizza started as a single ski hangout and pie spot in Idaho Springs in 1973 and now boasts six Colorado locations. This homegrown pizza chain is environmentally friendly, utilizing wind and solar power, green building practices, xeriscaping and biodegradable to-go boxes at every location. Beau Jo's also caters to vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free palates, with dairy-free cheese, gluten-free pizza crusts and plenty of veggie pizza toppers, including Hatch green chiles. Between the pies and the social consciousness, the local chain feeds bellies and reduces carbon footprints at the same time.

    D Note

    7519 Grandview Ave., Arvada Northwest Denver Suburbs

    303-463-6683

    , , , ,
    The D Note celebrated its tenth anniversary and a change of ownership in 2012, but this live-music venue and full-service restaurant and bar in Olde Town Arvada is still a favorite local hangout and a tourist attraction for out-of-town visitors. Originally envisioned as a performance space/art gallery, it was expanded to include hot eats and became a hub for local musicians and music enthusiasts. The menu items have some famous names, like the Sinatra salad, the Zappa sandwich and the Penny Lane pasta, and since live-music patrons get hungry too, D Note’s signature pizzas are another edible tribute, with names like Me & Bobby McGee, The Pizza Formerly Known as Prince, and Particle Man. The Hall and Oats dessert plate would make a nice ending to any meal, accompanied by some fine tunes in the D Note's laid-back atmosphere.

    The Oven Pizza E Vino

    7167 W. Alaska Dr., Lakewood West Denver Suburbs

    303-934-7600

    , , , ,
    Mark Tarbell, owner of the Oven, is one of those great chefs who understands that he's cooking dinner for friends every night. And when you're cooking for friends, you want to take care of them. At the Oven, this translates to handmade pizza dough, organic ingredients and locally sourced stock, artisan sauces, housemade mozzarella that spreads like the soft cheese it actually is, and ricotta smoked over custom-made ovens that Tarbell helped design. All Tarbell's care combines to create a friendly, fabulous artisan pizza joint.

    Pizzeria Alberico

    1730 Pearl St. Boulder

    303-442-3003

    , , ,
    There have been some big changes since Frasca Hospitality Group debuted the first Pizzeria Locale in January 2011 in Boulder, next door to its award-winning fine-dining eatery, Frasca Food and Wine. The most recent, in February 2023, was an interior refresh and name change to Pizzeria Alberico. The change-up also includes upgrades to some familiar pies (pancetta instead of ham on the Mais pie, for example) as well as an expanded beverage program with cocktails, mocktails and amari flights. Each detail in the new space, from the wall decor to the service to the branded matchbooks, feels fully intentional and well thought out — but we'd expect nothing less, considering the caliber of the group behind this rebrand.

    Proto's Pizzeria Napoletana

    2401 15th St., Denver LoDo/Ballpark/Commons Park

    720-855-9400

    , , ,
    This pizzeria opened its first restaurant in Longmont over ten years ago, with the stated mission of bringing true Neopolitan-style pizza to the Front Range. Now it's turned into a mini-chain, with several outposts in Colorado and Idaho. But the Platte Street location is the only one in Denver, and it's a beauty. Located in the strip of restaurants and shops that have turned Platte Street into a trendy neighborhood, the long, narrow spot has wooden floors, exposed beams, a swanky bar inlaid with intricate mosaic work and wine-bar lighting. Neighbors pack tables indoors and on the tiny patio, waiting for thin-crust pies that come from a brick oven imported from Rome and are perfect paired with offerings from the small but interesting wine list.

    The Walnut Room

    3131 Walnut St., Denver Five Points/RiNo

    303-295-1868

    , , , , , ,
    You can slum it with a cheap slice and a drink at just about every pizza joint in town, but when you want to slum it in style, the Walnut Room feels your vibe. At lunchtime, a fresh-faced server, usually of the hipster sort, will trot out an eight-inch thin-crust pizza topped with whatever single ingredient tickles your fancy, a cup of soup or a house salad scattered with mozzarella, and a beverage. This Five Points joint, which opened in 2005, is not only a great place for grub, but it's also a 250-person music venue that brings in a steady stream of local and national acts and boasts one of the best-sounding rooms in the city.

  • Anthony's Pizza & Pasta

    10890 E. Dartmouth Ave., Denver Aurora

    303-306-9755

    , , ,
    Anthony's got its start in 1984, when Henry Mann opened his first slice shop on the 16th Street Mall. As at any stereotypical pizza shop, the service has always been gruff, though not unfriendly. Know what you want when you get to the counter, order it, and you'll have no problems. In addition to quality pizzas, there's a scattershot offering of other pizza-shop delights: pastas, meatball heroes, salads and appetizers. Though the quality can vary widely from location to location, a simple New York-style red-and-white is always a safe bet.

    Anthony's Pizza & Pasta

    1550 California St. Downtown Denver

    303-573-6236

    , , ,
    Anthony's is a homegrown pizza empire, and it got its start in this space on California Street that was previously home to another New York-style slice purveyor. Perhaps for that reason, it has more of a vintage feel than most of the other locations that have come since. Inside the small storefront, you might actually feel like you're in the Big Apple, ordering at Ray's. And that's just what Anthony's intended. The chain has pretty much trademarked "New York-style" pizza in Colorado, pumping out big slices and pies covered with fire-engine-red sauce and gooey cheese. (It also pumps out advertisements and billboards galore condemning the major delivery chains.) But Anthony's serves up more than just slices: It also offers heroes, pasta and salads -- and many locations (though not this one) will let you have a beer or a glass of wine with your meal. You certainly can't do that at Domino's.

    Armando's Ristorante Italiano

    5428 S Parker Rd. Aurora

    303-690-6660

    , ,
    While some pizza joints strive to present an authentic version of the Italian pizzeria experience, Armando's is a museum-quality reproduction of the classic (and, some would say, nonexistent) fantasy neighborhood Italian joint, serving amazing red-sauce spaghetti and meatballs. The dining room always seems to have the buzz of a big holiday meal -- the floor overcrowded, everyone smiling and talking and eating with no self-consciousness at all.

    , , , , , , ,
    From its early days as an East Colfax hipster bar to its current configuration of breakfast joint, pizzeria and retro-swank watering hole, Atomic Cowboy/Denver Biscuit Co./Fat Sully’s Pizza has evolved into one of Denver’s most gleefully indulgent stops for wallowing in comfort food and whiling away hours with friends. Not content to cater just to Colfax carousers, the chain has expanded into Baker, Berkeley, Centennial and Aurora, so that carb cravers are never far from the Franklin (a hot mess of fried chicken, bacon, cheddar and sausage gravy on a cat-head biscuit) or a floppy slab of New York-style pizza.

    ,
    Since October 2015, Audrey Sherman has been slinging gigantic slices (seriously, they're huge) and whole pies from a small spot tucked away on the back side of a shopping center. Those in the know wouldn't dare make a trek through Boulder without a pit stop at the Garage, where slices come out hot and fast, and whole pies are offered in a trio of options: New York style, Sicilian, and Patty style (a sesame-crusted grandma pie inspired by the ones that Sherman's mom made for her when she was a child). It was that sesame pie that sparked Sherman's longtime love of pizza, which led to a mentorship under thirteen-time World Pizza Champion Tony Gemignani before she opened her own place.

    Steve Scott had worked at numerous restaurants, bakeries and even as a pastry chef at the University of Colorado before he decided to open his own place, Babettes, in the Source in 2013. “The bakery is all mine, I make all the decisions, I’m not making anyone else’s formulas, and there’s no compromise in quality,” he says. “Our breads are 100 percent artisan, handmade products made by me, and I’m baking breads that I truly want to make.” And that's what bread lovers truly want to eat, judging from how popular Babettes quickly became. In 2019, Babettes moved to Longmont and added a wood-fired pizza oven.

    The former Capitol Hill Tavern was resurrected in 2020 when Bar Nun opened in that space, with irreverent decor (think a painting of Jesus with Juggalo face paint and plenty of nun imagery) and a staff that will make you feel like a regular immediately. Whether you’re pounding pickle shots on the enclosed patio or pairing a cold beer with hot wings and pizza at the bar, this spot is a casually cool neighborhood joint.

    Brad Anderson has made quite an impact on the Denver dining scene over the past few decades, running the Rocky Mountain Diner, Rick's Cafe, Chopper's Sports Grill, the Castle Cafe and the Next Door Bar with partners Tom Walls and Jerry Good. A project three years in the making finally came to fruition in 2021 when he opened the Italian restaurant Benzina in a former Phillips 66 gas station on East Colfax. Since then, it’s become a neighborhood go-to for wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, thoughtful small plates and spritzes, and games of bocce ball and live music on the patio.

    , ,
    Fugeddaboutit! Big Bill's is the kind of place that sparks instant nostalgia, whether you've been going there for years or you're making your first visit. "Big" Bill Ficke grew up in New York but moved to Denver in the ’70s. He once did a stint as an assistant coach for the Nuggets, and also owned a Fleet Feet shoe store for two decades before opening up his south suburban pizza place — its interior decorated with sports memorabilia and odes to NYC — in 1995. Start your meal with an ice-cold bottle of Yoo-hoo, antipasti for two (a huge salad loaded with thick slices of provolone and salami) and a basket of garlic knots with zippy marinara for dipping before turning your attention to the New York-style pizza. It's available whole or by the slice, with whatever toppings strike your fancy (the all-beef meatballs are a fan favorite). Pro tip: Get sides of the super-thick blue cheese and ranch dressings, which are made in-house.

    , , ,
    In September 2013, Harry Smith, a longtime brewer at Breckenridge Brewery, opened Black Sky Brewery, just a block from his old employer and with Breckenridge's full support. Black Sky, which dishes up Connecticut-style pizza along with its beer, was a long time in the making. As noted on its website, the brewery's 23 taps feature both "in-house and guest brews." There's also a heavy-metal theme to the decor and the beer names. The brewery itself has a seven-barrel brewing system that contains old pieces of equipment from Breckenridge; outside, you'll find a patio, a parking lot and a mural.

Chef Jeff “Smoke” Smokevitch and partner Giles Flanagin now run three Blue Pan locations, serving rectangular pies built on an airy, crackly crust with Wisconsin brick cheese and a thick, tangy sauce. And while the pizza competition — Detroit-style and otherwise — continues to grow in the Mile High, Blue Pan remains a slice above the rest.
