Dig Into $10 Specials During Denver Pizza Week, Through October 27

In April, when a study named Denver the best pizza city in the country, people had a lot of opinions about that declaration. But no matter where you think the Mile High ranks, it's undeniable that the metro area's pizza options — and the area's pizza styles — are plentiful these days.

Through Sunday, October 27, we're celebrating the glorious combination of dough, sauce and cheese with Denver Pizza Week — the ideal excuse to get out and try some new pies and maybe win some prizes, too.

Over a dozen restaurants are participating by offering a $10 pie (while supplies last). Using the Denver Westword Pizza Week app, diners can check in to earn points for every pie they try. If you hit up four spots, you'll be entered to win the grand prize, a $500 Visa gift card.

You can view the full list of participating pizzerias and what they're serving at pizzaweekdenver.com.
