    Great food. The pizza was amazing. Got to the restaurant 30 mins before close and the food was still made to perfection.

    Great working lunch, the staff was amazing and very helpful and kind. I sat at the bar working most of the time. The lunch special with salad and pizza was amazing. Great stop in place.

    Food was good, but beware of the hidden charges. Just add this to the prices so you are transparent with your customers. If you want to cover these expenses without digging into your margins, I get it…just be honest about it BEFORE someone orders.

    Outstanding service and great food! It's very close to Confluence Park-- the junction of a network of nice bike paths. We had just ridden 15 miles and it was a little hot. Cool and comfortable (large) space inside. Our server brought a carafe of ice water immediately -- we didn't have to ask. Had a large Tuscan salad and a small Atomic pizza. Both were quite good. My wife's only complaint was that the only fruit in her Sangria was a slice of lemon. Prices are very reasonable for the area. There's a small outdoor seating area -- shaded more in the later afternoon. Dog-friendly. They also didn't mind that we locked our bikes to their patio railing. All-around, just a nice, welcoming experience.

    Very good! Some of the best pizza I've had. Got a medium and it was big enough for a few slices of leftovers. Was with two other people and they got a medium as well. Shared mine and we all got 4 slices or something with no leftovers.

    Definition of a neighborhood spot. I always bring friends from out of town here for reasonably price, good tasting pizza & beer. But what sticks out is the vibes. They hire good people who are fun to chat up. If you want to show someone a slice of life in Denver, take them here.

    Good food but didn’t know I’d be paying for employee benefits right on the bill! Couldn’t you just increase the price of each pizza??? Strange charge

  • 5/5 Stephen 1 year ago on Google
    Holy cow... how have I not known about this place! The pizza was epic! So good! Great wine and for a good cause so we had a bottle of course (its for the kids) The staff was so fun and really cool. Helpful and attentive. Great little atmosphere! The pizza chef crushed it... the pizzas 🍕 were amazing! Totally recommend and I cannot wait to return!

  • 4/5 Nora G. 3 months ago on Google New
    The crust is a little thinner and crackery than what I prefer but omg, the cannolis. I didn’t know they could be so good. Jonathan the owner is also so nice! Sit at the bar and chat!

  • 5/5 Krystal 7 months ago on Google
    The most attentive place we have been to eat since arriving to Denver. It was an easy walk over from our hotel. Great pizza and atmosphere! We had the panini, the traditional, and the ultimate. If you are hankering for a margaritas on the rocks, try their Protos Marg. The Hazy beer was tasty, too! We had the mini cannolis for dessert, and they were delicious! This will become a regular spot for us when we are in Denver!

  • 5/5 Nolan H. 9 months ago on Google
    Great little spot for pizza, wine, beer, and more! Excellent variety of thin crust pizzas with tons of toppings and everything we had was absolutely delicious. The service is the real shining star here though—Nikki and Mahayla couldn’t have been more friendly.

  • 5/5 Brett H. 6 months ago on Google
    Came in from Orlando, we had a craving for some good ‘Za, Proto’s delivered above and beyond. Great location. Great food. Great service. Couldn’t ask for more, our server Michael was awesome, couldn’t recommend more.

  • 5/5 Anushka J. [She, h. 7 months ago on Google
    Service was great, and the food and dessert were yum, 10/10 recommend. Gonna need to come back here.

  • 2/5 davis z. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good but the portions omg they make the whole pizza with maybe at the most one slice of ham, with one bite I take all the meet and cheese and I was left with a plain slice I have to use all the meet and cheese of 2 slices to make one slice. The service and the flavor was good.

  • 5/5 Philip L. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pizza on Platte Street (could be best pizza in Denver). Get the "Traffic Jam" to share or personally devour. I spend too much money here. 🍕 ❤️

  • 5/5 Bob S. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped by for a quick slice and a beer. Wow!!! Outstanding service (way to go, Zach!), great atmosphere, local beers were great, and the pizza was simply outstanding. Great place to stop for a quick bite or a longer visit.

  • 3/5 Jeremy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Pizza was absolutely amazing. Next to Mod pizza probably my new favorite pizza. The only thing keeping my review from 5 stars was my waitress seemed absent minded or she had something more important than seeing if her customers were doing ok. Edit: after examining receipt we noticed a surcharge for 3.23 for "employees benefits" with a note that says the fee is to support the company to provide PTO to its staff... So I have to pay extra to support something that is already required by law for you to provide...

    Cool setting in a trendy area. Service was really good and the options for pizza were plentiful. Given that I’m from Chicago, was expecting good pizza and this place didn’t disappoint. We ate outside in the front patio. Pet friendly.

  • 5/5 Andrea M. 2 years ago on Google
    Yum! The pizza was amazing. We had a medium Pontiff & it was just right for two for lunch. The crust was perfect & the flavors were exceptional! Cold beer & friendly staff! Highly recommend!
