Usually a big fan of this place but I have to say...as much as I didn't want to be...I was pretty disappointed this time around A couple notes: The pizza rolls still had raw dough in the middle, I took it apart to make sure it wasn't cheese and it was definitely raw dough The white sauce pizza wasn't great in flavor and was pretty floppy but the flavor may just be personal opinion The chili Pep pizza was amazing as usual The tiramisu was great Something that really threw me off though was that they charged us extra for a side of pickled jalapeños and extra for a side of ranch...which is totally fine IF it's mentioned and IF it's consistent. (Last time we did not get charged for asking for extra ranch and marinara). Also with the root beer float...we wish they mentioned that it was with root beer ice cream instead of vanilla because we wouldn't have ordered it. Overall we would still probably come back because of the other times that the food was great but it's definitely not holding the #1 pizza spot for me anymore. read more

Really good pizza definitely will be back again. The white pizza w/ pepperoni was delicious as was the elote pizza which was a really different take on a pizza that worked out really well. Only down side is $22 for a "12 is pretty expensive for pizza! read more

The food and ambiance are amazing. What really is making me write this review is our server who was a woman with short brown hair that made the night so special. She was everywhere and so helpful the entire time. A birthday party of 13 is always a bear to deal with, but she MADE the night and it couldn't have been better without her. read more

I love firebrick pizza!! I ordered the Chili N Pep pizza and that was fantasticcc! It was pretty spicy with all of the jalapeños and the hot honey. I'd def recommend trying. I also had the peach dessert and it was honestly super disappointing. I could have gone without but that's ok! read more

This is a nice spot to sit up on their roof on a nice day. A group of us went on Friday at 4 and I didn't have any issue finding parking. The happy hour drinks were good and I loved my corn pizza. They add a 20% gratuity (at least for our group) plus a 3% living wage fee which seems excessive. They wouldn't separate the checks for us though read more

The food is amazing! My favorites are the: garlic cheese bread (comes out like a pizza), the pepperoni rolls (I don't know why, but they are often burned on the bottom), and the barrata with roasted carrots and the best pesto I've ever had (and I don't typically love pesto). The pizzas are great, and the salads are, too. Parking is awful. Some on broadway, some behind the restaurant, but overall plan ahead to find a spot and then you will most likely be walking. Service is good. Prices are high, but again the food is great. Do NOT DoorDash from JoyHill. I've tried twice and both times at least one item has been missing. Never again. I will drive to pick up if I'm craving it. read more

Been to joy hill a few times now, love their happy hour, I like to get two margherita pizzas and margarita to drink and finish with tiramisu! Out of all the Neapolitan style pizzas they are the best and better then cart drivers margherita pizzas. Also their tiramisu hits the spot it's not rich and it's not dry it's perfect, take notes guard and grace. The staff are great and friendly too and the vibe there is nice and relaxed a place you'd want to keep going back to read more

I visited Joy Hill for an early Saturday lunch and we were the first table. The service was wonderful! We enjoyed the flatbread special that was extremely flavorful. For pizza, we ordered the Chili's n Pep with no pepperoni on half. The honey was delicious but I wish there was more! The vibes were great even with a mostly empty restaurant. I'd love to come back for a dinner or a patio meal! read more

I'd say my real review would be more of a 4.5 but only full stars on Yelp. We were craving some pizza the other night and found this on a list of best pizza places in the area. The downstairs decor is very cute and chic - loved the couch areas and light fixtures. We were seated upstairs near the kitchen area. We started with the house salad and went with the vegan caesar dressing - the salad itself was very good, though the dressing was pretty bland. Wish we had gone with another one. But all the ingredients tasted fresh and were a really nice blend. We then ordered a margherita pizza as that's one of our favorite styles. The pizza was very good - cooked well, tomato sauce and cheese flavors were great, along with the texture of the crust. We wished the pizzas came in different sizes though - they're all 12" and we would have really preferred a 16". That being said, we ended up ordering a 2nd pizza - just a regular cheese pizza. This one wasn't quite as good - not bad, but just wasn't quite as good as the margherita. Took half of that one home (again, one 16" pie would have done the trick). Our server was very friendly and came to check on us several times. Shout out to the guy at the table next to us watching a football game on his phone the entire time he was eating, while his wife pretty much took care of the kids. Dude, just stay home! :| read more

All I want on a sunny Sunday is to sit on a patio & this one did not disappoint. Such vibes, a Mountain View, and delicious Za

Was such a fun place for happy hour!! I went with two friends and we got some drinks and some apps to share! We sat outside and it had such a good vibe. The service was great too- we got there right before happy hour ended and our server made sure to get our happy hour order in before it stopped. We got bison meatballs which were so juicy and delicious, the zaatar and feta flatbread, and the burrata, and all of them were so good!! The focaccia bread was warm and fresh. Will definitely go back and get pizzas next time too because they looked and smelled amazing!! read more

We usually sit at the bar--the bartenders are always friendly and attentive. The pizzas are great, almost on par with Cart-Driver, which says a lot. The apps and salads are solid, too. I'd love to see more variety in the rotating specials. The vibe is cool but so is the temp, they like to open the doors to "cool down the oven". Unfortunately the man in black last night turned our vibe way down just after we commented on how nice and comfortable it was. I made a friendly remark, but they weren't having any of it. We left early. read more

The pizza was amazing ! We had the Elote and the Chilis N Pep. They also have homemade sodas, which were also good. We had the ginger and the passion fruit. Inside is really nicely decorated. We sat outside and had an amazing view of the mountains. Customer service was good. It was busy, but the staff was attentive and friendly. read more

If you haven't been to Joy Hill on Broadway in Denver, let me be the first to tell you: you're missing out. This place is an absolute vibe--from the cozy wood-fired ambiance to the rooftop views that are perfect year-round. But let's talk about the real stars: the food. Their pizza? Life-changing. Crispy, chewy crust. Perfectly blistered edges. Toppings that taste like they were handpicked just for you. And don't sleep on the hummus--it's somehow both rustic and elevated, creamy with the right amount of tang, and served with the fluffiest bread imaginable. Every time I bring someone here, they fall in love--and yes, I've sent many people their way (I'm basically a Joy Hill ambassador at this point). Run, don't walk. Then thank me later. read more

Great service, elevated patio on their west side with a mountain view. Our party of four split three appetizers, and three different pizzas. Plenty of food for us with two take-away cartons for home consumption. We will return. read more

Awesome spot on south broadway, they don't really have parking but it's easy to find something on the street. We had mushroom pizza and the hummus and veggies. Hummus was super creamy and came with some really fresh bread. Pizza had some unique mushrooms and a garlic sauce. The dough is thin and crispy! So good! Also have an awesome patio in back and it is decorated like your hip grandmas house read more

Overpriced cold pizza is not my thing. Party of 6 on a gorgeous day in Denver at noon. This place is not what i wanted for a celebration. Not so great service with an attitude and an empty restaurant. The old BJ's carousel down the street was more fun. Gonna pass on this place. read more

Food is delicious! Our drinks were good. We will be back for sure! Pizza is fresh and unique

Can't sing their praises enough. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with great hospitality. The food? Incredible! I love Colorado pizza. Maybe it's the water, the altitude, who knows. This pizza was the one of the best I've had here. The bison meatball sandwich did not last at the table. Servers and chefs were engaging with the customers and the vibe was just welcoming. Big shoutout from Dallas. We hope to be back here soon! read more

Incredible place for an event. Joy Hill knows what they're doing when it comes to hosting. We could not have been happier with our wedding reception here. read more

Joy Hill is one of our favorite places in Denver! We've been fans of the food and rooftop for a few years now but it wasn't until we hosted our wedding reception at Joy Hill that we realized just how special the restaurant truly is. Julia, the owner, and her team went above and beyond to make our night special. They understood our vision, were incredibly helpful, and made the night better than we could have ever imagined. We had guests raving over the food and service. Staff not only managed the bar but brought drinks to the tables and dance floor throughout the night, something many of our guests commented on and hadn't seen before. Seriously the best service especially for serving a wedding reception that was 6 hours - which I'm sure makes for a long day of work! We'd rate Joy Hill 100/10 if we could, you won't regret hosting an event here! We wish we could relive the night over again. Huge thank you to the Joy Hill team - we love you guys! read more

Great pizza ! Amazing atmosphere with kind staff and they have gluten free options as well!

Quick service, decent food and happy hour! Lots of families with young children. Got the margarita pizza and garlic bread, bison meatballs were dense and a bit dry but ambiance was cozy and comfy! read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We were lucky enough to get a spot on the patio which I highly recommend- great atmosphere, even better views. Our server greeted us and he was super friendly and attentive. We started off with a pitch of the kombucha sangria which was delicious and so refreshing. We had a table of 5 and ordered garlic bread and the beet salad to start, and then two pizzas for the main course. The garlic bread was cheesy and delicious. The beet salad was so refreshing and we were fans of the golden beets and chickpeas in the salad. For pizzas, we went with the prosciutto and burrata and the Mushroom Sally. The burrata was so so good and the arugula on that pizza was a nice addition to add some green to the pizza. The mushroom sally was phenomenal. I love white pizza and the mushrooms were so flavorful and added a wonderful depth of flavor. I would highly recommend Joy Hill (especially a spot on their patio) to anyone. I can't wait to come back to enjoy some of the other pizzas on their menu! read more

The pizza was so good! We came in during happy hour and got the $10 Margherita pizza, as well as a white pizza. Overall the ingredient's tasted fresh, and I love the sourdough with their tomato sauce. My only issue was the pricing for the portion size to be honest. Service was decent considering how busy it got. read more

This is a very cozy and high-quality pizza spot. And the staff is always top level. The arugula Caesar salad is vegan, but you wouldn't know it. It's fantastic and so good that I get it every time. They use heirloom wheat for the crust; you can tell a difference. They have staple pizzas like Margherita and regular cheese. As well as more elaborate ones like prosciutto and burrata. They also have specials--things like pepperoni with broccolini and a vodka sauce. Great place all the way around. read more

We really enjoyed our happy hour here! Grabbed a prickly pear mule and spicy margarita- both were delicious and refreshing on a warm summer afternoon. We got the happy hour Margherita pizza and The Hunter. The sauce on the margh was so incredibly fresh, we still have not stopped talking about it. I did get an extra side of the green Chile ranch to dip crust in for the hunter and would highly recommend. So happy with our choices! Friendly and attentive staff. The outdoor patio out back was super nice, however we were situated as such that as the sun began to set, the sun was right in our eyes but hard to anticipate. Don't get me wrong, happy to have taken in the last bit of warm summer sun and being able to enjoy a patio! Cheers! read more

I went to a private party there fir my first visit and was super happy: Cameron provided great service to a "packed all at once" room; the pizzas were very good; and, that carrots and burrata was really yummy.

Cue Andy Grammer's "Joy" Track... because once you go dine on Joy Hill's patio you will be singing... "Got me like Yeah Yeah Yeah, Oh Oh Ooh, I found JOY in my life!" (accompanied by a snazzy saxophone and funky beat) Okay, now I know that was an elaborate opener. Let's break it down... Appetizer: BURRATA & ROASTED CARROTS I'd order this appetizer again. It's just the right size for 2 - 4 people! Salads: BEET & FETA SALAD and ARUGULA CAESAR I only tried the Arugula Caesar. It was not your typical caesar, but I enjoyed it. My husband who tried both enjoyed the Beet & Feta Salad more. He said the house vinaigrette was brighter than the almond caesar dressing. Pizzas: CHILIS N PEP and MUSHROOM SALLY I'd say the tables favorite was the Chilis n Pep! They were each magically delicious, though. The most impressive part of these pizzas were the crust. It may have been the best tasting sourdough crust in town! Service: SUPER SOLID The service worked together like a well-balanced quartet to make sure every table was enjoying their night. We were helped by Jen for the majority of the time, but other staff members would drop off drinks and food items. Everyone was very friendly, professional and attentive while also being laid back and inviting. It was a very comfortable night of service. Ambiance: VERY COOL I think Joy Hill's back patio is one of the coolest dining places in Denver. On clear days, it has a phenomenal view of the mountain range that will make out of towners understand why you live in the mile high city. Go experience some JOY on the patio with a slice or two! read more

This was such a great find on a hot day when we needed an impromptu lunch in an unfamiliar area after some thrift shopping. We found this place on Yelp (of course) and got a table right away on a Saturday around 1:30 PM. We ordered a pitcher of sangria and a pepperoni pizza to share. The service and staff were fantastic, and both the sangria and pizza were noteworthy. As a self-professed pizza snob and aficionado, I can confidently say this was excellent pizza. The crust was just right--not too thick, not too thin. The sauce was flavorful, the cheese was high-quality, and the pepperoni was perfect. We're already looking forward to going back! The interior had a slight throwback pub feel, which we loved. That might sound unusual for a pizza joint in the city, but it created a charming and cozy setting. They also have outdoor seating, which was being used for a private party, but it looked like a fun spot too. read more
