Best pizzas in Denver
1. Blue Pan
Blue Pan has two locations in the city, cooking up traditional Detroit-style pizza (a deeper pizza which a chewy and delicious crust and ample toppings.)
Their pizzas are baked in blue steel pans imported from Detroit and the crust is achieved by using a unique blend of brick, white cheddar, and whole milk mozzarella cheeses.
You may not have had this style of pizza before but as soon as you taste it you will be hooked.
2. Marco’s Coal Fired
Their pizzas are wonderfully Italian in style and stay true to all the classic techniques and flavours. They do this by importing the finest ingredients like Antico Molino Caputo ‘00’ flour, tomatoes from the San Marzano region of Italy, cheeses from the Italian countryside and fresh produce from Colorado.
The end result? A taste sensation and a pizza so good you might as well be sitting in Naples eating it.
3. CRUSH Pizza + Tap
The CRUSH Pizza brand has expanded over the years and they now focus on three of the greatest things ever: “wings, pizza and beer”.
The name refers to the crush they have on pizza. Don’t we all? Their style is a deep dish pizza with a thick crust that is packed full of flavour. Come for the pizza but stay to wash it down with some of their quality beers on tap.
4. Brava! Pizzeria
Their pizzas are Neapolitan in style and baked in a wooden oven, using only the freshest of ingredients.
Their pizzas are wonderfully inventive. Take for example “Il Pomodoro” below. It has tomatoes three ways: Fresh sliced heirloom tomatoes, pickled cherry tomatoes, California San Marzano tomato sauce, with fresh Di Bufala mozzarella, and fresh basil.
