Pizza in Denver
Showing 45 - 66 of 122There’s a horseshoe-shaped bar in the middle of the restaurant and bowling trophies all around, but it’s the pizza that has created a cult following for this decades-old neighborhood tavern. The pizza, and the schooners. Perhaps the most festively shaped drinking vessel known to man, schooners are like giant, rounded margarita glasses perfectly suited to […]
The original Ernie’s, which opened in this spot in 1943, served pizza. So does the Ernie’s opened by Larimer Associates in 2009. But this East Coast pie palace also pimps an impressive antipasto board featuring sweet and sour figs, Gorgonzola-stuffed queen olives, cherry peppers stuffed with provolone and prosciutto, and balsamic cippolini onions. And that’s […]
In 2015, the former Chinook Bar & Grill got a snazzy remodel and opened as Esters, a neighborhood pub that serves nearly two dozen craft beers (most of them local) and a diverse selection of cocktails, along with pizza, nachos and other pub fare. Now with outposts in Park Hill and Wheat Ridge, it’s a […]
Joshua Pollack, a New Jersey native, has been on a mission to bring a taste of the East Coast to Denver since opening his first Rosenberg’s Bagels location in 2014. With Famous Original J’s at the 715 Club, he’s given the city a slice window of the highest quality. Yes, you can get whole pies […]
Famous Pizza is a Broadway institution founded by Gus Mavrocefalos in 1974, making the weirdly spotless and gleaming pizza kitchen older than most of its customers. Classic slices with just enough sauce and cheese are churned out at a brisk pace, so they’re nearly always hot and fresh out of the oven. The menu offers […]
The pizzas are the reason to visit this eatery owned by two Denver Italian families since the 1970s. The service is friendly and efficient, and while the red-sauce dishes can be serviceable but not particularly inventive, they satisfy if you’re in the mood for classic Italian-American comfort food. The pizzas, though, benefit from a sweeter […]
GetRight’s got its start as a cottage bakery during the pandemic, gaining a loyal following that owners Matt Dulin and his wife, Lindsey Judd, worked to maintain during the eleven months of delays they encountered trying to make their brick-and-mortar place a reality. In 2023, the spot finally opened, and fans have continued to line […]
Located on a secluded stretch of Quebec Street in Commerce City across the street from Dick’ Sporting Good Park, Halftime Sport Bar brings in a fair share of locals and folks driving by who might be curious or who come for the karaoke. But hey, if you do happen to be in the area, say […]
First of all, why are you breaking up with someone in public? But if you must, a busy place with plenty of noise is far superior to an intimate dining or drinking establishment, and you definitely don’t want it to be one that could be mistaken for a special-occasion destination. Enter the casual Happy Camper, […]
Homegrown Tap & Dough comes from the people behind Park Burger, but don’t expect the same casual experience here. This table-service joint fits snugly into the Wash Park neighborhood with wood-fired pizzas and local taps. Homegrown’s menu is Italian-ish: Garlic bread and pepperoni rolls cuddle up next to mushroom mac and cheese (made with housemade […]
Homegrown Tap & Dough comes from the people behind Park Burger, but don’t expect the same casual experience here. The second installment of this table-service joint (the first opened in Wash Park in 2014) is making inroads into Olde Town Arvada with wood-fired pizzas and local taps. This location’s menu is a touch more Italian […]
Since it debuted in 2010, Hops & Pie has been a go-to for beer lovers, thanks to its long, ever-rotating tap list and lots of special hop-fueled events. In 2023, it debuted a new, expansive patio, which is an ideal place to settle in with a cold one and a slice of sourdough-crust pizza – […]
Located in Golden, not too far from the Coors brewery, In the Zone is first and foremost a sports bar. With eighty flat-screen TVs spread around the huge place (it’s home to a 120-foot bar), chances are that any game that’s on will be showing on one of the screens, whether it’s professional or college […]
Joy Hill opened in the midst of the pandemic, prompting owners Julia Duncan-Roitman and Andy Templar to refocus on sourdough-crust pizza loaded with locally sourced toppings such as bison chorizo. Today the pizza remains the main draw, alongside a cocktail lounge-worthy beverage program. If you’re not in the mood for a full pie, the small […]

It skews mostly traditional […]
