Pizza is one of those foods that is loved by everyone, no matter their walk of life, cultural background or lifestyle choices. Though Denver and Colorado may not be known for pizza, but much like most of the culture, it's comprised of a melting pot of options. Because of this, there are numerous pizza shops that represent different styles of the American staple, all of them different and delicious. Here's a look at the best pizza joints in and around Denver.
Benny Blancos
616 E. 13th Ave.
Denver, CO 80203
(303) 831-1346

Bennie Blancos is "A slice of the Bronx," and it means it in every way possible. The tiny location next to the Beauty Bar on 13th Avenue has some of the best New York-style slices available, and it is open late. This is not a pizza shop where you can hang out or even dine in, rather you grab your dripping slice, add some finishers like garlic or Parmesan and out you go. Now, depending on the day, you could get the staff of short, stern New Yorkers or humorous bubbly Coloradoans, but either way, you're going to get a terrific slice of 'za.
Buenos Aires
1319/1307 22nd St.
Denver, CO 80205
(303) 296-6710

For something a little beyond the typical slice, Buenos Aires offers Argentina-style pizza that definitely gets the mouth watering. The homemade feel you get makes sense, it's a family-owned pizzeria, but it's the unique ingredient pairings that really make it a favorite. With numerous choices of sauces and toppings, no two pizzas are alike, and that's what makes a meal at Buenos Aires unforgettable.
The Walnut Room
3131 Walnut St.
Denver, CO 80205
(303) 295-1868

The Walnut Room is a bar and venue but its pizza is what keeps people coming back time and time again. The artisan thin crust is hard to define but along with the mix of typical and original recipes, this little pizza will satiate any appetite. For a truly Colorado experience, order the Mile High which is pepperoni, sausage, smoked ham, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, green olives, black olives, pineapples, jalapeños and fresh garlic. Pair your pie with a cold brew and a live show for a great night.
