Back in Denver for a few days, and Blue Pan was a MUST because of its rare, elite pizza!…read more They rose to the occasion, as this Congress Park location has always been a favorite. Great customer service, Andrew was a terrific server, brief wait mitigated by a solid communication system. Interior loaded with positivity and a family atmosphere. Loved our one-half Brooklyn Bridge and one-half Parma. So very good. Caesar salad also rocked.

Blue Pan Pizza - Congress Park: Not Recommended…read more Unfortunately, Blue Pan Pizza did not live up to the hype for us. We spent nearly $100, but the food was surprisingly bland and under-seasoned. We started with the meatballs, which tasted as though they might have been frozen. We also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, but it was runny and lacked flavor. Even the chips couldn't save it, lol. My partner makes a much better version at home--and hers tastes like it was made with love. There really is a difference. For our main course, we ordered a Supreme Detroit-style pizza. Since I'm from New York, it reminded me more of a Sicilian-style pizza, which I usually enjoy. Unfortunately, the cheese was extremely dry against the bread, and even the ranch couldn't help. Also, why do people eat pizza with a fork and knife? Maybe I was raised like a savage in New York, but you're supposed to pick up a slice, fold it, and eat it. The restaurant was extremely crowded, and the overall experience felt more like a process of getting people in, serving them, and getting them out than creating an enjoyable dining experience. The food didn't seem to be prepared with much care or attention; it felt more like an assembly line. We also felt somewhat out of place in the restaurant. That alone wouldn't have been an issue, but combined with the food, crowd, and overall atmosphere, it simply didn't feel like our kind of place. For nearly $100, I expected significantly better food, flavor, and service. Honestly, I've enjoyed pizza from Papa Murphy's, Cicis, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Sam's Club, Costco, Mondo's, and Marco's more. If you're looking for great pizza, I personally wouldn't recommend Blue Pan Pizza in Congress Park. And if you're going for the ambiance, I wouldn't recommend it for that either. Bottom line: Expensive, under-seasoned, overcrowded, and disappointing. Blue Pan Pizza may be popular, but it definitely wasn't for us. NO garlic power, NO pepper, NO oregano, NO onion powder, NO Italian seasoning, NO NOTHING!!!!!

Three years ago I was in Denver to see a show at Red Rocks when me and my buddy checked out Blue…read morePan. When I returned home after that trip I was sad because I thought I'd never be back and I might never have Blue Pan again or get to see a show in Red Rocks again. Last week I was lucky enough to return to Denver to again see a show at Red Rocks but I swear I was more excited to go back to Blue Pan. It was literally my first stop when I got into town. I said it before in my review of the other Blue Pan across town but it's quite literally the best pizza I've ever had. My daughter was with me this trip and she's not a fan of thicker pizzas. She ended up eating two pieces herself. You need to go try this place it is just too good to pass up. Now I have to come up with another reason to visit Denver because I don't want this to be the last time I've had Blue Pan pizza.

Do you ever come into a place that is most likely awesome but it's just having a bad day?…read more I think that was my experience here, which is a bit of a drag since I'll probably never make it back (I live in California which is a bit of a trek) The bad - slow service, attitude from the waitress when we asked for an update on our food, wrong orders and a ton of flies buzzing around. The good - the pizza was really freaking good. Tried both the Parma Italiana and Diavola and both were outstanding (and I don't typically enjoy Detroit style thick pizza). The place has a cool ambiance, good music and plenty of beverage options. So yeah I'm gonna guess I just came here on the wrong day.

Marco's purports to offer Neapolitan pizza. I have been to Naples. I have eaten pizza in Naples, at…read moreleast once or twice. The crust, IMHO, is the key to a good Neapolitan pizza. And let me tell you something: Marco's is better than the actual Naples pizza I ate. And it's not even close. Oh, and I now eat Gluten (sometimes pronounced Glutron) Free. When the pizza was delivered to our hotel in downtown Denver, I was skeptical. Was the crust truly Gluten (or Glutron) Free? I checked the order confirmation, and saw the handwritten note on the box claiming the pizza was Gluten / Glutron Free. Then I devoured with abandon. I cannot overstate how incredible the Glutron (or Gluten) Free pizza crust was. Even the Gluten Free model was superior to the actual Naples glutened pizza I ate those many years ago. However, the real test of a Gluten Free pizza is the aftermath. Here I am. 24 Hours later feeling great.

WOW! ZeroZero Pizzeria is my latest favorite find!…read more We happened to be in the neighborhood and saw the mass amount of positive reviews and thought, why not? Let's give it a try! We ordered an olive and cream cheese pizza with tiramisu for pick up. Everyone was exceptionally nice and thanked us for giving them a chance. I felt so welcomed here. The pizza is exactly what I had hoped for when ordering! Crunchy crust, a crispy pie, succulent olives, with dollops of cream cheese? Heavennnn. I need this again ASAP. The tiramisu was a beautiful way to end the meal. My only knock? I wanted moreee! It was packed with that delicious coffee flavor! Thanks for having us, ZeroZero! You've got another loyal customer in me.

This is a very odd building in an odd location that has been the death of many restaurants over the…read moreyears. Actually, this spot is centrally located, on the edge of Uptown and Five Points, right between City Park and the Central Business District. There's also a nice parking lot. I ordered the Supreme with tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and kalamata olives. I found it very average. I collected it promptly at the time specified, but the crust was very soggy and too droopy to pick up a slice. The toppings were OK, but nothing special. The amount of tomato sauce was a little light for my taste and it was very bland. The same with the cheese. I had heard good things about this place, but there is far superior pizza to be had in Denver these days. I was not impressed. The area is not well-lighted and it's kind of creepy at night. So is the building. The staff was friendly and they did bring me my takeout box promptly.

Did I select Pizza 3.14 because I am a math teacher and have pi memorized to 100+ decimal places?…read more Yes, yes I did. Parking: Woah! Parking in downtown Denver! Amazing! When we arrived, we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. They spent a lot of time painting the inside of the restaurant! We got a medium pizza split with half Supreme and half The Meats. Both of us stopped after our first bite and said ... Woah! That's tasty! Honestly, I just wanted pizza that was better than Domino's. I did not expect tasty pizza that was noteworthy delicious! Two of us ate the entire pizza! Awesome!

Great food and good service!…read more Street parking so make sure you read the signs. A lot of other restaurants so you might have to go down a few streets. Went here for a friends birthday so we made a reservation. It wasn't that busy when we arrived but it is a small space so never hurts to reserve a table. Our server was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions about portion sizes and what ingredients were in each item. We ordered the garlic bread and salad to share and I got the Cacio e Pepe full size. I didn't eat the salad but my friends really liked it! The garlic bread was AMAZING! Definitely the talk of the night! It's only three slices and it was a little pricy but seemed worth it. The full-size Cacio e Pepe was creamy and delicious! I didn't finish it all intentionally because I wanted to take the rest for lunch tomorrow. I would definitely suggest this one to anyone! At the bottom of the menu, it does say that a 20% service fee is added onto everyone's bill and that this is not a tip. I think it's important to point this out because some people might misinterpret it so definitely take that as you will. Overall, the food was amazing, it was a little pricey, but worth it for a friend's birthday.

Very average. The decor is cool, the place is pretty loud…read morebut lively. We ordered garlic bread, a custom pizza with sausage , ravioli with lamb and pasta with arugula pesto and asparagus all to share. The ravioli came first. It was pretty bland even for my 7 yr old. Lamb was slightly dry and bland. The pizza was average, ok. The other pasta never arrived. We waited over 30 min after we had finished dishes before we just had to cancel the order. They said they only have 10 pans for pasta and they had 41 orders...at that point we just wanted to leave plus the lightest pasta was going to be served last. On top of that, the waiter while I was talking took my drink that was 40% full and I was saving it to go with my meal as I wasn't going to order a second cocktail. That was annoying and felt deliberate to try to get us to order more drinks while we waited.

Everything showed up still warm, and the order was packed carefully so nothing was messy when we opened it. The pizza had a really good crust and enough toppings without feeling overloaded. I also liked that the salad tasted fresh instead of something thrown together last minute. Delivery timing was close to what they quoted online, which I appreciated since a lot of places run late on weekends. Solid experience overall and definitely better than the usual chain pizza spots nearby.

Walked in at 1415 and it was packed. Enjoyed great beers (3rd beer free!) and a 9/10 Reuben. Superb mango gazpacho. Drew and his crew make the best food. Great service as usual. Two kids (along with Mom and Dad) sitting at the bar. I hope they drank some beer. Still only 2 blocks from my house. 27FEB2012 What is with the Yelpers voting Hops & Pie as "not good for kids"? 1. All kids like pizza. 2. Some kids like beer. 3. Some kids like soda. I think Hops & Pie is great for kids and I see lots of them there whenever I visit. 08JAN2012 Why isn't it named "Hops and Mac"? As in Macaroni and Cheese and bacon, ham hocks, peas, IPA. Went on a Sunday afternoon (will I be happy when the Donkeys are no longer on TV) to drink beers and eat. Decided to "step outside the box" and ordered "Mac & Cheese" instead of pizza. This is the best M&C I have ever eaten in a restaurant and it will also make me step up my efforts at home. 18DEC2011 I arrive at 1347 which is 13 minutes before they open on a beautiful warm Sunday afternoon in Denver. There are people (shall we refer to them as "alcoholics"?) who are also waiting. When the door is unlocked (3 minutes early), 14 people rush in. At 1406, it is standing room only. What makes this place so popular? Could it be the Avery Brewing tasting flight? Rumpkin beer. Could it be the slice of the day: Cheeseburger? Could it be the excellent bartender service? Could it be the perfect bar atmosphere? Well, I won't tell. You need to visit for yourself. 05OCT2011 This time, we ate there. Excellent pizza. Very good service. 13SEP2011 making progress Free Wi-Fi. Always good. 31AUG2011 Walked the 2 blocks from my house and picked up an Artisan Pizza. Excellent. Super thin crust.
