    The Italian. The Italian sausage on this is not to be missed.
    Peg P.

    Believe the hype. This is excellent pizza. Keep in mind that it is a specific kind of pizza, so if you were thinking of a cheese bomb with basic toppings, this ain't it. This is more like a traditional neopolitan pie with a slightly chewy, charred crust and beautifully orchestrated toppings. We got three pies for a Friday night gathering. The Italian is hauntingly good with spicy Italian sausage and Anaheim peppers. Some other stuff too. It was a feeding frenzy. The Margherita came with plenty of basil and flavorful bits of cheese spread out well on the pie. The lawn boy was my personal favorite. The artichokes tasted like they were marinated to work specifically on this pizza. The pesto sauce supported a nice hit of garlic. Topped with arugula, it was a total delight. I also recommend a slice for breakfast the next day. Order more pizza than you think you need. You won't regret it. Also get the hot sauce for the side. The yellow one is the hotter one. I dont know what kind of chili they're using in there, but you will want to be emotionally prepared for the impact. Service was so friendly and fun. You might want to eat there but there is very limited parking, and it really is set up as more of a takeout place. Yes there are tables, but they are not promoting ambiance here. Which is fine. Focusing on the pizza is definitely working for them.

    Pizzeria lui is still the best pizza I've had in 2026. What makes them unique is the crust, freshness of the ingredients and the pairing of the toppings. I wouldn't deviate and go custom. Additionally, there isn't much seating so I would highly recommend take out. Pizzas are on the pricier side $23 for 14 inch but classic example of you get what you pay for.

    Did the dough / crust change?! Grabbed a pie last week and ate it there. The crust was a hard crust and had a crackle to it. For me, it wasn't enjoyable :( I really enjoyed when it was soft / light / fluffy with the bubble char on it -- I first came to Pizzeria Lui in 2019 or 2020 and it was soft / fluffy then. Service was great and the pizzeria itself was cute and clean as usual though! Just a heads up on the crust.

    These are worth buying and taking home!

    We love good quality pizza, especially good crust and fresh toppings People working were super nice, the food did take a little long but they were busy so a good sign!

    Great pizza with a crispy bottom and good flavor. We got the mushroom for $23 with the small pepperoni cups, big dollops of sausage and plump mushrooms. Ingredients seemed fresh and we loved trying all of the hot sauces which had a good range of heat. I especially love the flat iron dry chili peppers and the medium hot sauce. They only have one size pizza and it was perfect for 2 people. We went on a Thursday night around 6:30pm and only 1 table of 5 had customers so we decided to eat our pizza there. By the time we left, all the tables were taken. Service was friendly and they came around to check on us while we were eating. I liked that they have a water dispenser so you can fill up yourself. It's no frills, just a nice quick spot to eat yummy pizza in Lakewood. We will definitely be back and share the good word with others.

    Shroom pizza
    Rick K.

    Really good pizza. Crust is flavorful with a wonderful balance between crunch and chew. Fresh toppings including some fresh Basil leaves they will throw on top after the bake. We had both the Original and the Shroom. The jalapeños on the original were fresh and spicy! I think I liked the Shroom just a little more. Their larger chunks of mushroom was better than the normal pizza place w thin slices. Cup pepperoni and decent sized chunks of sausage were all excellent. We got a $20 bottle of wine (Chianti) which was like a nice house wine in Italy. Pizza is served in a rack elevated over a pan which helped it maintain its crispiness while we ate in. Not sure how it holds up in a to-go box so recommend eating in if possible.

    The Original
    Courtney T.

    Some of the best pizza we've had in a while! Inside is a small space with about 5 tables for eat in customers. Their waits are pretty long and we did have a hiccup with some miscommunication with staff. Still giving it a 5-star rating because the pizza was delicious and the manager/owner (not sure which he was) was extremely apologetic over communication breakdown. The Original was too spicy for me, but my partner loved it; make sure to get a side of hot honey for some extra spice. I ordered the Lawn Boy which was delicious! The homemade pesto had such a good flavor. DO NOT SKIP IN GETTING A SIDE OF RANCH! Overall it was a pricy meal (~$20 a pizza) but it is worth trying given the reputation.

    The Italian!

    This is the place you go so you can mock them immediately after. "Best in Denver" yeah, right (though, admittedly, the bar is set low). Give me my pizza so I can take a bite and tell you to your face, "you've got some nerve." So I roll in for the first time Thursday night - place is hopping, but the hoppers are the staff who are absolutely busting their asses firing off pizza after pizza in such a small space in front to the ovens. As I wait to order, some clown is complaining about the 40 minute wait. Really? I've been given 90-120 minute wait times in other states. I knew going in I wanted "The Italian" with housemade sausage and a slew of other ingredients. Gentleman asks if I'd like complimentary hot sauce. Sure! Why not. 40 minutes? I could swear it took no more than 25. Open the box and my mouth dropped. Wow. This looked awesome. Went outside and took a bite. The verdict? This was one of the best pizzas I've had in my life, and I'm from the NJ/NY/Philadelphia area. "The Italian" is so unique, yet classic. The crust? Fucking perfect. Razor thin with the absolute PERFECT crispness. I had two slices and tried one with the hot sauce - next thing I knew, I was drizzling it on the pizza. After my final bite, I was trying to figure out when I could come back before my trip ends. Best in Denver? Yes - by an avalanche.

Was greeted by the owner, and just the fact she was there told me all I needed to know. Small but cozy space in a strip mall setting, I will probably do a kid free date night here once they get the alcohol going. I rarely find restaurants that exceed expectations on food, service and ambiance. This is one. I ordered the chicken piccata, works pizza, penne bolognese and salad. All were top notch, my kids actually cleaned their plates, and the pizza may be the best in town. When I reheated it, the crust was optimally crispy. I will eat here again, soon

They were pretty busy at around 5:30 on a Saturday evening and we were lucky enough to snag a table since they also take reservations and some were being held. The service was great, she gave us her recommendations and was very very patient while we all decided what plates to share. They give you some small plain bread knots when you sit down and had no problem, giving us a refill, even a side of marinara sauce for dipping when we asked. We started with the Caprese appetizer, which was fresh and delicious lightly, garnished with the balsamic glaze that sets the flavor off, not too overpowering. We shared three different pastas - the penne rustica, the shrimp and artichoke, and the pesto tortellini. The rustica was definitely the best, it had such a depth of flavor, and the sauce was a perfect rosé of creamy tomato, with the vegetables helping set off the textures and flavors even more. The other two pastas were good, but I wouldn't prioritize ordering them again, the pesto tortellini was so rich and creamy, but lacked any pesto flavor, which was surprising since it was vivid and green, and so visually appealing. The shrimp and artichoke was good, but didn't allow me, I felt like the artichoke needed more seasoning or something to bring it out a little in the sauce and pasta mix. The owner Nancy was such a sweetheart. She was so attentive and came over to us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. Next time I'll be trying the Bolognese :)

    What a great spot!…read more The place was banging out pizzas and there were tons of customers doing pick up orders. We grabbed a table and sat in the dining area. You don't have an assigned server but there are tons of staff roaming around making sure everyone has what they need. We got the focaccia and meat balls along with the wings as an appetizer. The bread was great and the red sauce and meatballs were delicious. I'd get that again for sure. The wings were huge! I liked the hot honey but what they called "buffalo" sauce wasn't for me. Nothing like any buffalo sauce I've ever had before, but they said it's new so I'm sure they're experimenting. We also got the sausage ricotta pizza and the sauce and topping were great. The bottom wasn't as crispy as I like, so ask for well done if want to eat it without a knife/fork. Really great spot and will absolutely be back and recommend to friends

    My experience at Pizzeria Leopold was a tale of two stories: great food and disappointing…read moreoperations. Let's start with the food because that's what will likely bring me back. I ordered the Sausage Ricky pizza and the Turkey Pesto sandwich with the focaccia bread upgrade. The focaccia was absolutely the right call. The sandwich was well balanced with quality ingredients, and the bread was easily the star of the meal. The Sausage Ricky was also better than expected. Between the slightly sweet sauce, purple onions, sausage, and ricotta, every ingredient had a purpose and the combination worked really well. At $24 for the pizza and $10 for the sandwich before the bread upgrade, I felt like the quality matched the price. Where things fell short was the pickup experience. I placed my order online at 3:26 PM with an estimated pickup time of 4:45 PM. A turnaround time of over an hour for a pizza and sandwich felt longer than expected. When I arrived around 4:50 PM, another customer was already waiting to pick up his order. He ended up waiting several minutes while staff tried to locate it. Despite several employees working behind the counter and the restaurant being only about half full, neither of us were acknowledged when we walked in. The lack of greeting or communication made the pickup process feel disorganized from the start. Eventually, the employee managing the register helped us, and to his credit, he was friendly and clearly doing his best to juggle multiple responsibilities. There was some confusion with my order at first, and I was initially presented with someone else's order and asked for payment until I showed my confirmation email. Overall, the food was good enough that I'm open to giving them another try. But the operational side of the experience didn't match the quality coming out of the kitchen.

It looked more like a Chinese restaurant than a pizza joint--red tablecloths, wine glasses, neon signs, a random Christmas tree, and tons of weird little decorations. We legit thought we were in the wrong spot. The menu was labeled as pizza and pasta, but there weren't many options for either. The combos were kind of all over the place--lamb, octopus, pork--so we tried to keep an open mind. But once the food came... yeah, it didn't get better. The pizza dough tasted frozen and was super soggy. The pasta dish was mostly meat with barely any pasta, and the meat wasn't even good. It just wasn't it. Wouldn't go back.
