Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta

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 […]

Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta

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 […]

Armando’s Ristorante Italiano

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 […]

Atomic Cowboy/Denver Biscuit Co./Fat Sully’s

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 […]

Audrey Jane’s Pizza Garage

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, […]

Babettes Pizza & Pane

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,” […]

Bar Nun

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 […]

Big Bill’s New York Pizza

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 […]

Black Sky Brewery

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 […]

Blue Pan Pizza

Denver embraced Detroit-style pizza when Blue Pan Pizza debuted in 2015 in West Highland. 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 […]
