Cosmo's Pizza, 1325 Broadway, has longed served college students on the Hill in Boulder, proffering massive slices of thin-crust pies perfect for a mid-day lunch or a late-night post-drinking binge, available both at the parlor and by delivery.

Last year, the restaurant upped its presence on the Hill, too, by opening an attached speakeasy. That bar, called, simply, the Speakeasy, is accessed by an unmarked door to the right of the Cosmo's entrance, and it sees a (usually) mellow crowd inhabiting the wooden booths, enjoying nightly live music and drinks in addition to slices.

Now, the pizzeria is expanding further--and bringing the act to Denver.

The second outpost of Cosmo's Pizza is slated to open at 550 Grant Street this Friday, September 3. That restaurant will feature the same menu as the original Cosmo's, as well as the same hours: 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 a.m.

When the joint opens its doors, you'll be able to get delivery by calling 303-777-FAST (3278).
