Subway Tavern & Pizzeria Longo

For the past fifty years, Subway has been serving pizzas and meatball sandwiches to loyal fans. While the food coming from the kitchen isn’t exactly cutting-edge — the half-thin New York style red-and-whites hit with dry oregano and the Dago Dog (Italian sausage with cheese and chiles deep-fried inside a pastry jacket) are the best […]

Tonti’s Italian Restaurant

Tonti’s does not do a standard New York thin-crust pizza. The crust here has been allowed to rise slightly, the bone swelling to at least a blistered inch high. The sauce is sweet, East Coast-style, and the mozzarella cheese a delicious jacket melted thick and unevenly across the slightly chewy crust. Topped with a shake […]

Vero

According to proprietor Andrea Frizzi, Vero was born when Central Market developer Ken Wolf asked the Italian chef if he knew anyone who could do pizza. “I said, ‘Dude. The fuck?’” recalls Frizzi. And he signed the lease for a market stall the next day. Vero offers Milanese-style pizza, which is thinner and crispier than […]

The Walnut Room Pizzeria

You can slum it with a slice and a drink for $5 at just about every pizza joint in town, but when you want to slum it in style, either location of the Walnut Room feels your vibe. At lunchtime, a fresh-faced server, usually of the hipster sort, will trot out an eight-inch, thin-crusted pizza […]

Walter’s 303 Pizzeria & Publik House

Mike Kienast opened this casual neighborhood pizza joint in late 2010 to cater to the Uptown area with pizzas, calzones, baked sandwiches, salads and homemade desserts. In 2016, Kienast took on new partners – old friends John and Stacy Turk, who are longtime fixtures in Denver’s craft-beer scene; John used to helm a Denver craft-beer […]

White Pie

At White Pie, brothers Kris and Jason Wallenta dish up wood-fired pizzas inspired by their childhood in New Haven, Connecticut. But even though their pizzas were inspired by an East Coast classic, they aren’t chained to tradition – just as their tacos at Dos Santos, the Mexican restaurant they run around the corner, aren’t bound […]

Wyman’s No. 5

A self-proclaimed “Chicago” bar, Wyman’s No. 5 has all the trimmings of a Windy City spot: The Bears, Blackhawks and Cubs all get television priority on game days, and an extensive menu overflows with Chicago-style dogs and both deep-dish and tavern-style pizza options. But the neighborhood hangout is all Colorado in its attitude, with bartenders […]

Yard House

Steele Platt knows what Denver likes. Although the restaurateur, who had several places in the Tivoli in the ’80s, left Colorado decades ago, the Yard House chain that he founded in California in 1996 is also ideally suited for Colorado. For starters, beers are big at the Yard House – the restaurant has over a […]
