    Margherita pizza
    K J.

    In town for vacation and we were exploring downtown and found this little gem. What a fantastic place!! Food was fantastic! Service was fast and friendly. The inside is very cute and there is a ton of outdoor seating. Would come back here all the time if I lived here.

    Popped in on a weekday just about when Happy Hour was about to start. Was going to get it to go, and have a marg at the bar while waiting but then was drawn in by their fun Valentine's Day decor and then further back to where there was a sprawling back patio! It's been unusually warm in Denver, so I decided to take advantage and hang on the back patio, hit a spicy margarita, FaceTime with a friend and have a happy hour Mushroom Sally pizza with bison meatballs (as we do in Denver). The food was all very pretty - oh I did get a side salad with Green Goddess dressing. Very light and delicious with fresh light lettuces. The pizza was a perfect 8" size with slices of the meatballs layered onto the mushroom white pizza. So delicious on an errands day while out and about! The service was friendly and it was such a beautiful day. I was glad to check out one of the cool restaurants in the SoBo district!

    A friend who lived locally brought us here and it was a great recommendation. The view from the outside patio was great and the pizza was even better. We started with the beet salad which was full of flavor and ended with the elote pizza and prosciutto & burrata pizza. Both were fantastic but the elote was the real stand out winner. I've never had a pizza like it and it was SO good. This was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Service was great as well. Parking on the street was fairly easy to find.

    Got a 12" chilis and pep pizza ($23) and the stuffed peppadews ($5). Pick up. A little over $31 after tax and their 3% "kitchen surcharge." The order was ready on time and delicious. I appreciated that I wasn't handed a receipt to sign and tip on for pick up (esp at those prices for a small pizza). Assuming that doesn't change I'll keep coming back.

    Went to dinner here on a Thursday night with a reservation- it was not crowded upon arrival. They offered the option of outside but unfortunately it was too cold. However, when it warms up will make sure to come back! The food was very delicious, we got the burrata carrots and the chili & pep pizza and elote pizza. All were very delicious and unique! The pizza size is in the smaller size but we were 4 and the amount was perfect (we each got 2 peaces) we did not get to try out their drinks but the service was quick and great! Will be coming back to try other pizzas and apps!

    Amazing food and vibes. Pizza is a bit pricy but super good. But they do have a great happy hour which includes on the weekends.

    Mini Cannoli

    I love Joy Hill's chill vibe and friendly service. Their Arugula Caesar was tasty, and lighter than a typical Caesar given the vegan dressing, which I preferred. The Zaatar flatbread with Calabrian hummus was yummy too. My favorite was their woodfired sourdough Margherita pizza with a perfectly crusty and chewy crust, tasty pizza sauce, and real mozzarella. We finished off the meal with mini cannolis in each of their flavors that day (birthday cake, chocolate, and cardamom chai); my favorite being the birthday cake given it was the closest taste to a standard cannoli. They have a really cute outdoor seating area that would be perfect to enjoy in warmer weather. I may have found my favorite pizzeria in Denver!

    Love this lace already!

    Always excellent! I absolutely love the ambiance in here. The service is excellent, and the food quality continues to be outstanding.

    cashew ricotta
    Kathi B.

    We decided to go and try Joy Hill after reading in Westword Magazine that they were their top pick for sourdough pizza in the Denver area. We ordered the cashew ricotta & hummus plate which consisted of their house made cashew ricotta, spicy Calabrian chile hummus, assorted pickled & fresh vegetables with sourdough focaccia. This is a really great way to start a meal. The stand out was the spicy hummus for sure. The mix of fresh and pickled veggies was perfect and the focaccia delicious. We also got two pizzas, one was the chili's & pep (tomato sauce, mozz, caciocavallo, grana padano, pepperoni, pickled jalapenos, honey and oregano) and the other was the prosciutto and burrata (tomato sauce, garlic, mozz, prosciutto, arugula, burrata and grana padano). Both were really good. We did find ourselves wishing each pizza would have just had one or two more components to them...for example perhaps the prosciutto and burrata would have had a balsamic glaze and olive oil drizzle on top...that would have made it even better. Everything was fresh and tasty, we just wished for just a little more somethin somethin to set both over the top. We finshed with a chocolate cannoli that was so delicious! Our waiter was exceptionally friendly and helpful. It was our first time here and so we were asking for recommendations on appetizers as we were undecided on what to get. He really took his time to explain not only the most commonly ordered apps, but also his personal favorites. I don't think we would've gone with the appetizer we did if it wasn't for him, and boy would be missing out! He really made our lunch a great experience!

    They have great beer options, pizza topping combos that I've never seen before (lots of vegetarian). Everything I've had here has tasted great. They have a lot of seating and street parking at no cost. Cool spot!!

    Amelia S.

    Such a great upscale-casual spot for a weeknight date or a girls night. We opted for the bison meatballs and mushroom pizza which was a great combo. Drinks are reasonable and pizzas run ~$25, but overall, pricing isn't too expensive here. The outdoor patio is definitely worth the wait because the amazing view of the front range.

    Ask the Community - Joy Hill

    Are the stairs to the patio outside or do they require indoor access?

    Hi Robert, to access the patio you would enter from the inside. Thank you!

    Do they have gluten free crust available?

    Yes!

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    I don't think so, only because you have to go inside to access the patio.

    Do they have happy hour?

    They do! They have specials on drinks and food

    Is there easy access to free parking?

    There is free 2 hour parking all along South Broadway as well as the side streets, but street parking isn't always "easy" depending on the day and time you are visiting. From the rooftop, you can see a parking lot in the back, but I'm not sure if… Read more

If I could separately rate the food, I would give it a 0. It is objectively atrocious and had our server (Will) not been so sweet, I would have sent the food back. The food came out within 3 minutes of our order, so we knew it was microwaved. The garlic noodles were bitter and had an offer flavor and we barely ate them. The chicken plate was the smallest piece of dry, overcooked chicken breast, wayyyy too much rice, 2 sad and dry rings of pineapple (honestly, out of the can would have been way better), and an undressed slaw. it was $23 and even at $15, it would still have been overpriced. The spam musubi was decent but honestly, I can't imagine how you could mess it up. We may come back for the drinks but we absolutely will not order any food.

It was nicely decorated for Christmas. We were greeted immediately & shown to our table. Service was fantastic, we were checked on frequently. We ordered the Lights Out Burger which was a double smash burger with American Cheese, yummy homemade pickles, diced onion & burger sauce on a garlic butter toasted brioche bun with Waffle Fries. The burger was delicious, very flavorful & cheesy, dripping with sauce - you almost need a knife & fork. And the crispy Waffle Fries were absolutely the best. The burger & fries were reasonably priced at $16. I'm so happy I discovered Fat Sully's & look forward to my next visit!

My friends all shared a huge pizza and I got my own slice of white sauce with chicken and bacon. The overall taste of flavor was great! I thought the pizza was cooked well and flavorful. Nothing else really stood out. It was just a normal pizza to me. The size was huge though, so that can go in the pro column. I think I would definitely go back because it was great that they were able to accommodate such a large group last minute. We had about 10 people altogether.
