Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Wazee Wood Fire Pizza, Charlie Palmer's new piehole emporium, opens Monday, December 12, directly next door to District Meats, Palmer's shrine to off-cuts that he opened November 21 in the former Big Game space at 1631 Wazee Street.
The pizza palace, which resides in Big Game's old bar space, will dish out sandwiches and salads and toss artisan pies -- whole and by the slice -- topped with fresh ingredients. Denver can expect pizzas "made with high-quality ingredients, Caputo '00' flour, fresh herbs, San Marzano tomatoes and housemade mozzarella," Palmer told me back in October. The space, which has shelves bedecked with Italian products, a large oven and rustic wooden tables surrounded by tractor seats, will be open from 11 a.m to close Monday through Saturday.
In the meantime, District Meats, which turns out dinner Monday through Friday, has started lunch service from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
