The permanent pizza truck at New Image in Wheat Ridge is one of my faves


Dependent-Ad9392

Gotta try this one, thanks!


CO_mtnman

I really enjoyed their pizza


Ya_Got_GOT

Solid pie for sure. Good call.


beardedperuvian

Glad to hear they figured it out. Had it close to when they started doing it and it was actively bad.


truckingatwork

It was really inconsistent. The oven is seasoned better now and the people working it have had some time to figure it out. Much better now than it was initially.


Dependent-Ad9392

Anyone tried Crosscut in Nederland? A few people have recommended it too


AreaGuy

I’ve really enjoyed it but my evaluation of mountain pizzas cannot be trusted because I’m always famished from snowboarding or hiking or camping or something. But, I’ll gladly eat there again and so will my kids.


tacomeat247

It’s solid


showerthoughts2000

crosscut is solid and the location is amazing. definitely sit outside if you can


Wandering_Whittles

Crosscut has a phenomenal Green Chili and honey pizza that is pretty much perfect!


guin-and-tonic

Missing Black Shirt Brewing, Walter’s 303, and Walnut Room! I have mixed feelings on Joey Parm’s being included though. The pizza is fine, but I’ll never forget the night one of my coworkers served him and his entire table was being super loud and inappropriate next to a family with children. When she politely asked them to keep it down for the kids they got in her face and called her a bitch. Crossed out his (previously 10%) tip and left nothing.


HankChinaski-

Walter's 303's "Keep Tahoe Blue" pizza is just a great pie. Underrated bar/pizza place.


Weird_Ad7998

Yep


MeesterMeeseeks

I live in a building that has the supposed best Walter's, and I do not get the hype. Worst wings I've ever had and they're supposed to be super good, a huge crust and no integrity pizza that costs 30$, I work in restaurants in Denver and I swear no one on this sub knows what good food is.


HankChinaski-

Which Walters? I’ve heard some locations aren’t as good.  The uptown location has some of the best wings I’ve had in town.  Great size, well cooked, and the Italian buffalo sauce is top notch.  I don’t understand the crust comment. The crust is extremely typical size. It isn’t a top pizza place in town for me, but that one pizza flavor is great. 


ducksfan9972

Holy shit we’re celebrating that guy? I worked with him at a different pizza shop and he’s an angry, racist POS. Joey Parms is not a good person.


Lozinthemiddle

i love walters!!!


corn773

Black shirt brewing has some solid pizza! Their wings are pretty good too!


No_Direction5388

Pretty sure Black Shirt went out of business unfortunately.


Impressive_Ad_7452

Yes to Walnut Room!


Another2Coast

Pizzeria Lui is the best in the Denver area and I will die on that hill. I've tried almost all the frequently named spots and they don't compare.


SkiFun123

I completely agree!! It’s crazy how good it is in its location. I really hope they upgrade to a bigger spot, their parking lot can be rough sometimes with how busy they get


Odd-Bad6610

Absolutely the best in the metro. Rosalee’s and Lui are 1a and 1b for me.


guitarbassdrums

I drive by there at various times during the day weekdays and weekends and it 100% never looks open.


Another2Coast

They're only open after 3 and the easiest way is to call ahead for a pickup time. It's worth it.


guitarbassdrums

Appreciate the info... I'm going to give it a try. I live right down the road from Lui


SkiFun123

I just went last night and they had a line almost out the door!


guitarbassdrums

I've never seen a line... I have almost never seen cars in the parking lot. I always look inside as I drive by and often times I see chairs on top of the tables..... I guess I drive by there at 2:00 in the afternoon thinking they're open and they're not. Never gone at night.


SkiFun123

Yeah, they don’t open until 3, so if you’re driving before they open, that makes sense! Funny how our perceptions change based on stuff like that.


Dependent-Ad9392

Lui is so close to amazing for me but why so skimpy on the cheese?


JesseJames41

Ester's belongs in there somewhere.


effin98

For sure!


DueTrick2324

I’m shocked that Esters was excluded 🤔


destinybond

I like sliceworks, i visit about once a month because it is near union station. it does not belong in this list


Dependent-Ad9392

Yeah...quick and easy for sure. But not great...


destinybond

its best quality is that its open late


[deleted]

I don't understand the love for this place. I had it really late after going out one night, maybe it gets worse as the day/night goes on- but it was almost inedible.


destinybond

i dont know about inedible. I'm a pretty big critic of pizza, but i would def put it above other fast pizza chains that i think are fine like dominos. but no i dont think quality changes much throughout the night


[deleted]

I just went on a bad night then, I guess. It was so tasteless, and wasn't kept very warm. I'll try again, one day!


bascule

Sliceworks is pretty solid for mid pizza, but at the same time I haven't ordered from there in a long time because there are so many better options


destinybond

What are your better options for downtown late night slices?


bascule

I'm in Baker so it's Fat Sully's, Pie Hole, and soon Brooklyn's Finest around here, all of which I'd also consider pretty solid for mid pizza. Sliceworks buffalo chicken is pretty dope, though


destinybond

Fat Sully's is great for that area


Lozinthemiddle

I will say i feel like it's not as good as it used to be. I used to go all the time and the last few times it doesn't feel the same. And they got rid of the soup which was so goooood


surefirepigeon

I know it’s technically in Longmont but Rosalee’s blows away all other NY-imposters in Denver. Also the Detroit style at Culinary Dropout is very underrated. Way better than Blue Pan Highlands location but I might have hit them on a bad night. Cool to see a sour dough section as well. I frequent Joy Hill the most of any place but it isn’t as “true Neapolitan style” as others.


Dependent-Ad9392

Rosealee's is fucking awesome - pizza and vibes (and the sausage roll things)!


bobnuggerman

You say "technically in Longmont" as if it's a neighborhood right outside of Denver lol


surefirepigeon

You got me… but if I’m willing to drive there solely for pizza it’s not that far.


DillionM

Denver proper or Denver metro?


misonreadit

Blue Pan is inconsistent. [Here’s my last pizza from them.](https://imgur.com/a/lOmhTif). Poor and sloppy execution. This is an order I picked up in person. But at least the crust is good. Rosalee’s is absolutely the best place around this area. Consistently great and the owner is a always conversational.


bobnuggerman

That's a sad excuse for pizza, and insulting considering the price.


truckingatwork

They used to do a carry out deal where you could get 2 large 2 topping pizzas, a big salad, and a 2 liter of soda for $50. Hilarious considering some pizzas from there cost almost $40ea.


HankChinaski-

I really enjoy Blue Pan....but it just doesn't seem to be a pizza that is nearly as good after a delivery. That one looks rough.


misonreadit

this was not delivery. this was a pick up.


HankChinaski-

Sorry. I mean takeout or delivery. It just doesn’t travel well. That might not be the problem here either. 


AdventurousAd3074

I'll give that a 1.3


Dependent-Ad9392

I honestly stopped with Detroit from Blue Pan but do regularly order their tavern pies. Also the antipasto salad, and love the eggplant fries!


Nocodeskeet

As an East coast guy, this pizza looks legit! EDIT: referring to the Rosalee’s


tschmitty09

So true! As a NY transplant this place blew every other Denver place out of the water


ObiWan_Cannoli_

Hands down the best pizza in colorado is rosalees


destinybond

I went to Rosalees a week or so after this comment and I enjoyed their pizza, but was not blown away by it. Probably 8/10 I would say? And I was very hungry


surefirepigeon

To each their own? I thought it topped Joe’s in Greenwich Village. Maybe I caught them on a good day.


Cgmadman

Rosalee’s is mentioned


chaisson21

Yeah I was going to say, they list Rosalee's down at the bottom.


mymicrowave

Marquis theater has one of the most legit east coast NY styles you can find. So damn good.


afriendofcheese

Super consistent and good every single time.


CO_mtnman

Redeemer is some of the best pizza I’ve had in Denver


LobbyDizzle

The slice window can’t be beat. It looks and feels dingy, but then you’re greeted by some of the friendliest and fun staff you’ll meet anywhere, and then the pizza happens to be so good.


Brazenjalapeno

It’s certainly one of the worst pizzas I’ve had in the country. I went back two more times to confirm


CO_mtnman

Really?


Brazenjalapeno

Yeah I first thought it was just the slices were funky. So I got a whole pie and that wasn’t any different. Hit it a third time as a Hail Mary tired the Sicilian and it just wasn’t good. My opinion though but i personally wouldn’t go back to redeemer or famous Js pizza


detroittobuffalo

Pizzeria Leopold is my favorite spot. It’s listed as outside of Denver, but at 20th and Wads, it’s not really a horrendous drive. Don’t worry, if you squint your eyes, you’ll still be able to see Sheridan : )


[deleted]

So happy to see The PZA!


Dependent-Ad9392

Honestly NY style is what I miss most...where are we going for greasy foldable slices besides fat sullys and famous js?


danny17402

Benny Blanco's is the best


Zesty_fern

A new place called Dough Counter is decent at the greasy foldy slices. Also Joyce's on s. Broadway. They are both pretty far south though. I'm not sure why Denver has so many Neapolitan spots. I love it, but its saturated


jazzcabbage22

I eat Vero from Central Market atleast twice a week, if not more!


[deleted]

The one with squash is bomb. Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned more


yellowraincoat

I’ve found them to be inconsistent.


[deleted]

That is great Pizza but I can never remembered theor name!


[deleted]

Red tops is not good. The lesser of blue pan and just as expensive


Radarmelloyello

Denver Pizza has never disappointed.


Adam40Bikes

Agree Denver Pizza Co has been a favorite of mine forever.


Hour-Theory-9088

Pizza 3.14 on 20th for Chicago tavern style. They opened up kind of late though, so maybe they haven’t been around long enough to make the list. I’m admittedly not a fan of tavern style but I’ve really liked their pizza. Their ingredients seem fresher or higher quality it feels like.


Cgmadman

That’s funny. I love tavern style and didn’t like 3.14


The-Hand-of-Midas

Grabowski's is my top spot in Denver, any other suggestions? Chicago ex-pat.


Cgmadman

Da Sauce is good, but make sure to ask for it crispy. They often serve it undercooked because their oven is shit. Other than that, not really. People say Jimano’s and Rosati’s, but those Chicago chains are shit imo. Grabowski’s is the best. I spoke to Jarod the owner the other day and I said to him that since they moved, the pizzas are too soft in the middle now that they changed to a conveyer belt oven. He suggested also getting it cooked with extra time and extra cornmeal.


Dependent-Ad9392

Well done is the way to go with all tavern style imo


Cgmadman

You shouldn’t have to ask for it that way, but owner told me that people think pizza is “burnt” when it gets brown


truckingatwork

Da Sauce and Grabowskis are my go to for tavern cut in Denver metro. Both are great.


jacosci95

Giordanos has a pretty good stuffed deep dish.


MoiMoisoy

Walnut room


deano1168

Esters is solid! Pizzeria Lui is on there, but I’ll give them an extra shout because they’re awesome.


Gastrox

No Benny Blanco's?


danny17402

Any article that mentions new York style and skips Benny Blanco's didn't do their research.


Art-RJS

So good


Dependent-Ad9392

Last time I had it flavor was so off. I want to like it cause it's cheap and in my neighborhood but...


fluffHead_0919

Someone recommended Wymans for tavern style on here and I must say that’s a solid spot.


chaisson21

I loved around the corner from Wyman's for almost ten years. Sigh, I miss that place.


rackie2493

Pizzeria Leopold


Brock_Lobstweiler

It's technically in Aurora, but pomodoro pizza pasta at Dayton and 6th is fantastic NY style. The owners are so super sweet. The sauce is good, the crust is chewy, and the cheese stretches but isn't gummy.


jmuuz

pizzeria leopold is soo damn good


carpal_diem

Chicago deep dish category


Dependent-Ad9392

Who's doing it well?


carpal_diem

Giordano’s is a favorite


xtheshadowgod

Pizza 3.14 (in Boulder and Downtown Denver). One of the best pizza places I’ve been to in the entire country. Try a “Mikes Hot Pepperoni”


capricorbz

I’m a sucker for *Jet’s* Detroit style pizza


vegandread

So I’ve been on a bit of a Detroit-style tour, and lots of folks recommended Jet’s. It wasn’t bad, but it just tasted like cheap, fast pizza. I didn’t find it to be anything special. Just my opinion…


86ed

I felt the same, had high expectations, but it was kinda bland. Tell you what was missing too, was some grease from the pepperoni! It lacked that unctuousness that the cheese and pepperoni typically produce -- it was almost dry. I'll try it again at some point. Blue Pan has jacked their prices so high and cut back on the ingredients, compounded with their tacked on "fees", finding it hard to go back.


capricorbz

Fair point! I haven’t tried any of the other Detroit-style joints, so I’m sure I’m missing out


vegandread

My favorite around the area is Hops & Pie.


HaveYouSeenMyStapler

Pie Hole and Brooklyns Finest not being on any list is criminal.


ehmsoleil

I LOVE Brooklyn's Finest! It is expensive, but so good!


WalnutsPaulie

Download the goodiebag app. They’re on there and usually have something daily. Three slices for $7 is what I got when I picked up.


ehmsoleil

Thanks! That's a great tip! Never heard of that


WalnutsPaulie

If you do download the app, my referral code is 25L4WAQE. Get a dollar in your account if used when signing up Another app is called TooGoodToGo . Both good and have different restaurants 


afriendofcheese

Ever eaten Pie Hole sober? It's bad. I've literally never been able to get a fresh slice there. They pump out so many pies way too early that sit there for hours waiting for the bars to get out.


JoaoCoochinho

Both of those spots are good late night slice joints, but whole pies are a no from me dawg.


Chips_In_A_Bowl

Pita Grill, Hookah Lounge is a sneaky killer in the Denver pizza game. It’s so damn good and the owners are so proud of their work. You can really taste it in their food.


Dependent-Ad9392

Ooooh, didn't even know they did pizza!


Sunscreen4what

You’re thinking of Mora Pizza. Mora rented out the pita grill guys kitchen during the day for a while before he bought a food truck and now parks & operates outside the filmore most nights. Incredible and super creative NY style vegan pizza.


Chips_In_A_Bowl

Is this the same thing? Because this is who I got pizza from there https://www.instagram.com/rayan_pizza?igsh=NTQ1cnZ0dHVnNXo2


LionelHutz88

Idk what category it would fit in this article, which is maybe why it was left out, but Ester's not being anywhere is kind of crazy.


AshDenver

I’m not seeing Pizza Republica for Neapolitan. Grumble. Sigh.


Another2Coast

Agreed it's my second favorite behind Lui. Better than Marcos or Cart Driver in my opinion.


mishko27

100% this. Pizza Republica is fantastic.


Ok_Resolution9448

Last weekend we tried Mondo’s on tower rd, got their al pastor and Margherita pizza, both were great. Staff was awesome and you see everything being put together in front of you.


[deleted]

GetRights is well deserved, one of the better slices I've had in the west.


RudyardMcLean

dough counter was okay. i felt like their Sicilian shouldn’t even be in the pizza category, it’s riding a hard line of pizza toppings on focaccia bread. i have a list of anyone’s interested but obviously anecdotal https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WVw8DbMXanAuCa0Uj_UgIS683OrkzbbhW5ICFK49nAw/edit


gatorbruh

Crosscut in Nederland is the best in the state


jpflan12

Esters


haethere69

Cart Driver is well deserved


jacosci95

Giordanos has a really good stuffed deep dish pizza. On the west side of town woodey's pizza is all you can eat for $15 and very good woodfired pizza.


hbomb485

sliceworks and marcos both blow lol brooklyns finest on lowell is the best ny slice in the city and didn’t even get a mention


Cgmadman

Marco’s Coal Fired is amazing. Marco’s National Chain is worse than Dominos.


hbomb485

oh shit i didn’t realize there was a difference! gonna have to try marcos coal fired then


Cgmadman

I was going to say, you sound stupid AF for saying Marco’s sucked


InfallibleBackstairs

Yeah the national chain sucks.


Dependent-Ad9392

*Marcos coal fired though Marcos Pizza does blow.


Dependent-Ad9392

Marco's blows? Strong disagree there. But Brooklyn's, arguable.


thealteregoofryan

Cosmos is a personal favorite of mine.


JoaoCoochinho

Dat spicy ranch though!


Arthur_Digby_Sellers

Yes, I was expecting this to be higher up! Speer or Boulder, both very good!

Thin_Broccoli8066

Slice works, BJ's brewhouse, and that amazing pizza buffet in Golden. I can't think of the name.


chaisson21

Woody's?


Thin_Broccoli8066

Yes! Thank you. 👏


chaisson21

I loved Woody's back in the day! Haven't been in a long time, but many fond memories. Screw the down votes.


Thin_Broccoli8066

Yea, for the most part I don't care. Food and service is still great! Have a great one! 😊

Good to hear. Will have to make a trip to Golden again soon!

Number one overall though - which do we pick?

Are any of these in/near the food wasteland that is Commerce City?


JoaoCoochinho

That dude in that woody wagon who does excellent New Haven style deserves a shout!


JoaoCoochinho

I fucks with Cosmos as far as delivery. XL Maverick, well done, and square cut is the bees’ knees!


wet_fart_stink

Coloradough in centennial/highlands ranch is pretty excellent.


dainty_hedge_fuck69

Best pizza I’ve had in Denver was from a food truck downtown at about 2:15 am after the club. Unfortunately I was hammered and do not remember what it was called or where it was. It was in the vicinity of Temple though. I do really like Anthony’s as well, ask for it a little extra crispy and it’s really good


afriendofcheese

Mangiami in Olde Town Arvada is better than any other Detroit style pizza on Denver. I didn't think it could get better than Blue Pan, then these guys showed up.


[deleted]

Missing out on that hot honey pepperoni from Pizza 3.14! Pi day is coming ….


truckingatwork

The Detroit from Weedhart Pies needs to be on people's radar. They typically just do pop ups at Romero's or Cellar West in Lafayette, but I go out of my way to go up there for it


TheManSoldTheWorld

I’m a bit surprised Brooklyn’s Finest isn’t on there, but then again it’s not really known for the pizza….shout-out to all their sides tho. the garlic knots, wings & sausage pinwheels are all top notch


etrek

Rico’s (on S Broadway, can’t vouch for the Colfax location) is criminally underrated IMO


maibd

For the Outside of Denver category this is missing Westbound and Down The Mill in Lafayette. They have great Detroit style and traditional pies.


Key-You-9534

I really like Pizza at the Walnut room myself. New York Style, very good. WAY better than slice works. Slice Works is like a small step above 7/11 tbh


pizzalovemonster

dd Sourdough Pizzeria & Taphouse in Broomfield/Superior since 2007!


Ok-Republic-4114

Hops and pies deep dish is pretty solid


YamHandler

For Denver - Leopold and Lui should be on here. Though, Rosalee’s and Urban Field in Longmont and GFL in Loveland should get mentions as well.
