Kaos Pizzeria

Kaos Pizzeria
92.00
Score
1439 S Pearl St, Denver, CO 80210, USA

The converted house offers a relaxed setting, with the kitchen occupying a detached garage. Outside seating consists of metal chairs, a choice that proves uncomfortable in cooler temperatures.

The pizzas arrived cold, a recurring issue for multiple orders. Crusts exhibited a lack of rise and seasoning, though the tomato sauce and toppings were deemed acceptable. A recent experience with a pickup order involved extended wait times and the eventual delivery of pizzas that had sat for an hour.

Despite the food's shortcomings, some patrons found the service attentive. One server, Lorenzo, received specific praise for accommodating a canine companion. The establishment also offers a range of craft beers and soft drinks, and a gluten-free option was noted for its oven-roasted quality.

Score
2501 W Colorado Ave #108, Colorado Springs, CO 80904, USA

Slice 420 offers a distinct take on pizza. The Detroit-style option, when available, stands out with its substantial portioning. The establishment's location in the historic district provides a convenient backdrop for its offerings.

The pizza itself departs from common preparations, presenting a unique flavor profile. Ordering options for pickup or delivery are straightforward. The staff readily guides patrons through the available beer selections.

On one occasion, the ovens were shut down well before the stated closing time, impacting patrons awaiting seating and forcing some to dine outdoors. This coincided with efforts to finalize cleaning. Despite this operational hiccup, the pizza’s quality remained noteworthy.

700 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80203, USA

SliceWorks offers a distinctive menu, with the Big Mac slice standing out among its offerings. Upstairs seating provides full table service and a view of Colfax Avenue, a feature noted as entertaining. The establishment also provides accessible parking.

Condiments, including honey and various seasonings, are available for diners to customize their pizza. Those opting for table service upstairs will find it a pleasant experience, especially during favorable weather. Ice water is readily available for patrons.

The pizza itself receives praise, with specific recommendations for the Hawaiian and the Works. An option exists for those who regret not ordering the stuffed meat pizza after seeing it.

Tony P's Bar & Pizzeria LoHi

Tony P's Bar & Pizzeria LoHi
88.00
Score
3000 Zuni St, Denver, CO 80211, USA

Tony P's Bar & Pizzeria LoHi occupies a space in Denver's LoHi neighborhood that draws a consistent local crowd. Owner Tony P. is often visible, engaging with diners. The atmosphere is characterized by a buzzing, Italian cafe feel, though the bartender's prompt removal of a nearly finished martini was noted.

The wood-fired Neapolitan pizza presents a dough that lacks expected airiness, with topping distribution sometimes uneven, leaving some slices devoid of cheese. While the ingredients on the pizza appear high quality, the quantity for the price point may fall short for some patrons. The $2 meatball slider, though flavorful with its sauce, arrived in a comically small portion and on dry bread, taking a significant amount of time to reach the table.

A small pear walnut salad proved to be a standout, and the desserts, particularly the cheesecake with fruit, garnered positive remarks. The restaurant's proximity to the Kirk of Highland venue makes it a convenient stop, especially for those with reservations, as it often finds itself packed.

The establishment hosts a weeknight happy hour with discounts on draft cocktails, wine, wings, and fries. Husky fries are mentioned as a specific offering.
