Avoid Denver’s Pizza Paradox
Google “Denver Pizza” and over 160 results will pull up - and that doesn’t even include the restaurants with pizza on their menu, that is just a list of pure pizza joints. Considering the one or two page results of literally any other genre of food in Denver - that, my friends, is just too much pizza for one small city.
And the gross part is, is that new pizza shops are continuing to pop up all over the city like an infectious rash. See a new restaurant in LoDo “coming soon”? It’s pizza - BET.
So what can you do when you need hot, cheesy relief but the insane variety is making you lose your mind? Please read on for the Five Pies You’ve Got to Try.
Marquis Pizza in LoDo
Nestled on the brink between Lodo and Rino, Marquis Pizza serves up a classic New York style slice in a stylish satanic box that will make your inner punk say “blitzkrieg bop”. Conveniently open until 3 AM half of the week, this Denver staple comes in clutch during the wee hours of the morning when a perfect slice is what you seek. They also deliver - sweet.
Vero Italian in Denver Central Market
Brought to you by Andrea Frizzi, owner of Denver’s newest posh restaurant, Il Posto, Vero Italian specializes in authentic Italian pizza. Each pizza is absolutely exceptional and unique. The menu offers rich ingredients that give each recipe an elevated sense of decadence. Fancy shit right here.
Hops & Pie on Tennyson St
In addition to serving up daily deals on local brews, you can find a diverse variety of pizza pies and toppings at Hops & Pie - house hickory smoked tofu, broccoli and mashed potatoes are all on the menu. Especially filling, these unique pies promise to hit the spot.
Cart Driver in RiNo
Urban meets rustic at this Southern Italian restaurant that serves wood-fired pizzas with a one-of-a-kind crust. Chewy but never soggy, these personal pizzas are all topped with ingredients that are satisfyingly simple. This Angry Vegetarian’s favorite? The accidental vegan marinara, topped with the freshest garlic #keepawaythosevamps
Famous Original J’s Pizza in Five Points
This stylish, humble hole in the wall has quickly proven to be the best New York style slice in Denver. Founded by the same visionary who provides the authentic New York flavor that is Rosenberg's Bagels & Delicatessen, this pizza is made with the same thoughtfulness and care. Famous Original J’s Pizza serves up quality slices; the crust holds up and has a divine crunch, the sauce is beyond rich. (and they offer a heavenly VEGAN CHEESE PIZZA - rejoice)
