The Tastiest Pizza in Aurora

Cranelli's Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (2237) • $$

"I finally made it here after hearing about it from several people. Cranelli's is quite busy with people seated outside and inside. The environment can be quite loud making conversations difficult. So keep that in mind. The prices are reasonable and if you check in for Yelp your first time, you get garlic knots for free.The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was delicious. It's creamy and it's just super tasty. If you order it with chicken, it's like the Olive Garden one. The Arancinis are a tasty appetizer and it's just like a giant deep fried cheese ball. The garlic knots are full of flavor. They have specials every now and then. I ordered the strawberry margarita and that was quite delicious. It's also a lot bigger than I assumed."

Osteria Marco

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1870) • $$$

"The space is pretty big in the lower level of the restaurant. There were several tables with patrons. It was still early in the evening when we were seated quickly yet the pizza did take a while to arrive although it was really delicious. Too bad I didn't have enough time to revisit this establishment to try other items on the menu.Heads up they have a few service charges that are not usual in most restaurants."

"My husband and I got takeout from here the other day and shared:- Crispy Pork Sandwich with Pasta Salad- BYO Detroit Style Pizza with Pineapple, Pepperoni, and Caramelized OnionsEverything was phenomenal. I'm always hesitant to order sandwiches for takeout but this one was still so good. The pizza had the crispy cheese crust that was done perfectly. I'd love to dine in because I'm sure it's even better."

Blue Pan Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (899) • $$

"Went here on 7/14/24. Been meaning to come back here sooner but life got in the way. Damn, did I miss this place. Still fantastic like when I had it for the first time. Atmosphere is great. All things Michigan. It was pretty busy on a Sunday night. It's a small dinning area so not a lot of tables. You may have to wait for a table. Pizza is so good! We got the Brooklyn Bridge and it was great. Def want to try other toppings. Great food and drink. Maybe it won't be 8 years between visits. Cheers!"

"Came here to watch the game. Grabbed a beer and got the Brooklyn bridge. Pizza was pretty good. Amazing crust, flavor was pretty good. Crunch was 10/10 inside of pizza was 8.2/10 alil soft for my liking. All and all it was pretty delicious. Service was great. Bar tender was prompt. Ambiance was lovely and rambunctious"

Grammy's Italian Goodies

★★★★★ 4.5 (659) • $$

"Everything here not just tastes good, but is made with love and quality ingredients . This place changed my life. It took us (me & wife) days to finish a single order of garlic knots ($6.95 and worth it). Love the sauce, meat sauce, meatballs, I love it all.But that's not all you get. LOOK at the dessert pictures. BEHOLD the glory of the pastries. Most popular are the cream puffs, of course the cannot, tiramisu and other classics are on point. Grammy does not play, people. Shes playing for keeps... WITH YOUR HEART. You've been warned."

Mellow Mushroom Downtown Denver

★★★★☆ 3.9 (842) • $$

"I would give this place 100 stars if I could. We stopped here for lunch while in Denver. The ambiance is a cross between industrial and minimalist. The vibe is pure 60s and 70s, staring with the psychedelic menu in groovy colors. I liked the ambiance and vibe a lot. The food and service were outstanding. Our server Douglas was super friendly and helpful. When we could not decide on which tap beer to get, he brought some samples so we did not make a wrong decision.I started with a half order of pretzels and they are fresh made. The dough was soft and chewy, with a sprinkle of warm cheese. Excellent. I was full after the pretzels. The wife started with the mushroom soup and it was phenomenal. Maybe the best I have ever had. I would go to this restaurant just for that soup. We were already full by the time the pizzas arrived. The wife had the Thai pizza and loved it. She said it tasted exactly like Satay, and I tried a bite and agreed. It was super tasty and I would get that next time. I had the Shitake mushroom pizza and it was very good. The crust was fresh with real flavor. It had fresh slices of palm cheese on time. It was an outstanding pizza but I did not like the aioli on top because it detracted from the mushrooms.Our beers were excellent, don't remember what they were but I would get them again (figure that one out). Overall, an excellent experience I can say with confidence that every time we are in Denver, we are coming back to this restaurant."

"Absolutely loved my late night pizza experience here. They had many choices, even so late into the night, and the pies were still fresh. The service was fast and friendly, and they actually have a very nice seating area with lots of table space that is separated from the kitchen and gives a cozy feel while you enjoy your food. It was pretty consistent traffic even for the hour. I know this is the best late night pizza. I tried the vodka, cream sauce, pizza, and it was delightful, adding a little extra depth of flavor that the traditional cheese pizza doesn't quite achieve. I will definitely be back."

Bar Dough

★★★★☆ 4 (696) • $$

"$100 for a great meal for two. What we got: Margherita pizza & mushroom ravioli. Pizza was pretty standard, crust was delicious. Ravioli was so so good and well portioned. Drinks are a little on the pricier end, but we're used to Dallas prices. Environment: We grabbed a seat in front of the kitchen right before rush dinner hour. Very clean and beautiful decor. Service: Didn't get his name, but our waiter was such a cool guy; kind, friendly, knowledgeable, checked in on us just the right amount of times. Side note: pizza chef needs a hell of a raise. Idc how much he's making - he's not making enough. That man puts in work."

Parisi

"Really mediocre pizza served with a side of surliness. Pizza crust is floppy and quite unappealing. Best thing was the gelato All flavors were bland.Much prefer Marcos, Blue pan, and homegrown tap and dough"

Brooklyn's Finest Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (544) • $$

"Found this place on yelp and it was really good! It is in a strip mall with a liquor store next door and this place is extremely busy! We went on a Monday night and it was packed. Luckily I ordered ahead and when I arrived, my order was ready. I ordered the God Father pizza, caprese salad, and the spicy sausage calzone. Everything was so good! the calzone was spicy and really tasty. The caprese salad was fresh and really good! Will definitely be back!"

"Was it 5 years since my last visit? Nothing has changed except a nice happy hour!Great '50's music, sidewalk cafe, and good service from Kaili!"

Tony P's Bar & Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.6 (783) • $$

"Loved this old establishment. We had the mushroom appetizer, family Cesar salad and family spaghetti and meatballs. Could have fed 6 people we were only 3 of us. Great waiter everything was clean except one fly flew around us for an hour. Great experience in town for a convention. Hotel manager recommended place. Excellent choice!!! The house cab was very good and a big portion. Special thanks Taylor Hernandez hand model in pictures."

The Sink

★★★★☆ 3.8 (691) • $$

"Visiting CO and my husband found this gem and I couldn't have been happier.We arrived on Friday 8/30/24 and as a college town I was certain we would be waiting however, we added our name to this list and were seated in about 15 mins.Service was great here. Everyone was friendly and attentive. I will say, ceiling is low and the sound can be a bit overwhelming especially if it is peak time. I loved all the art and writing on the walls and some were freakin hilarious!Husband ordered BBQ Bacon burger and I had the famous Buff Mac. We did order a michelada as well.Burger was cooked to perfection and the sweet potatoe fries were his favorite! I had to snag a few and they were the perfect amount of sweet and so crispy!Guy Fieri's pic and review - I knew I had to get the buff Mac and man oh man, this was amazing! Cheesy, full of flavor, plenty of buffalo sauce and blue cheese with every bite!Michelada was okay, nothing to rave about but that's okay. The food def made up for it.A wonderful place and a place we will def return to in the area....in the mean time I will try and make my own buff mac haha!"

Black Shirt Brewing

★★★★★ 4.5 (451) • $$

"We are a beer state Love the uniqueness that each brewery brings. They carriy 12 different beers that they brew in-house. They serve cocktails, wines, seltzer, hard seltzer, spirits and sour beer that I wanna go back for. That's not unique. It makes them a spot to go.! What's unique is their delicious pizza crust is made from their spent grains and the taste is distinct. There's a bit of sweetness to it. Love it! I also learned that Jimmy and Karen the husband and wife owners love what they do. This is not just business as usual to them. One of them is always at the location. BSB opened in 2012 and they took over in Dec. of 2021. Certain nights there's a live music. They've received numerous accolades for their beer making skills. I wanted to try their in-house brewed beer and the way to go is their Beer Flights. Pick four and start there! You won't see a Food Truck parked in the vicinity. They cook everything in their kitchen."

Via Baci

★★★★☆ 3.9 (591) • $$

"Delicious and friendly! They were very gracious in adjusting the lunch special to gluten free for me, everyone was friendly, and the ambiance is relaxed enough for a lunch break also great for catching up with a friend. They are quick enough also I would easily do a business lunch here. Thank you!!!"

The Bluegrass Coffee & Bourbon Lounge

★★★★★ 4.5 (435) • $$

"Mostly rating 5 stars because this place just has the best vibes and the nicest people. The food looks good, but I honestly just got drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere. A fun place to work, chat or sit and people watch while listening to music. They have everything you need. I want to come back here and stay and work all day, but I live in Denver...Extra points because they take Apple Pay!"

White Pie

Pizzeria Lui

★★★★★ 4.7 (392) • $$

"Pizzeria Lui needs to be in the conversation for best pizza in Denver. I don't take this bold claim lightly either. Not only do I dine out a lot, but I'd like to think I know my way around a pizza.To me, it's an interesting cross of NY meet Neapolitan. The end result is an artisan, more gourmet style pizza that has incredible chew, flavor and crispiness. This is my type of pizza, and I'm sure some people will disagree.The Lakewood spot is a hidden gem off the beaten path. Even though they brand themselves as more of a takeout spot, there are a few tables for seating. They have some good drink options too, including some $5 beers while you wait.You want to know how good this pizza was? I was planning to take it to go and once I opened the box I knew my self control wasn't strong enough to take it to my destination. I popped a squat and ate half the pie on the spot.The Original ($20) // Ezzo Pepperoni Cups, Red Sauce, Mozz, Smoked Mozz, Jalapeño, Wild Oregano. Holy smokes. Typically I'd judge a pizza place by their cheese first and foremost. But this sounded too good not to try. The smokiness and meatiness from the pepperoni cups paired with the bite from the jalapeños was a flavor combination built for my taste buds. With the crispy crust and undercarriage, this pizza was 10/10.Service is quick and efficient. Only a few people working, but they have a system in place. I love how they ask if you want basil with your pie, and proceed to hand you a small bag of fresh basil. Unbelievable spot and I'm kicking myself for not visiting sooner!"

Infinitus Pie

"Great service even greater pizza definitely will be coming here again cooked to order I love that you can customize your pizza even the crust and won't break the bank either :)"

Homegrown Tap and Dough Washington Park

★★★★☆ 4 (517) • $$

"On Gaylord street near WashPark - I love love this place for HH Pizza, Chicken Parm Slides and Beer. It's all like $5 each! Also - they have some of the best outdoor patio spaces with heaters. You can even play some old school arcade games in their little nook or ask for a table with their ski lifts.Low key, good food, good vibes."

Parry's Pizzeria & Taphouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (604) • $$

"The pizza was excellent, wonderful crust and the salad was fresh and tasted great. Nice dressing. Tasted homemade. Fresh and different."

Walter's303 Pizzeria & Publik House - Bow Mar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (417) • $$

""Without a doubt, Walter's 303 in Littleton, CO, is a hidden gem! Their pizza is absolutely divine - a perfect blend of flavors and a crispy crust that will leave you wanting more. The meatball sub is a true comfort food delight, with juicy meatballs and flavorful marinara sauce. And let's not forget their lasagna - simply mouthwatering! Each bite is a delicious symphony of cheese, pasta, and savory sauce. A must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic and delicious Italian cuisine!" Also beer selection is top notch here along with the great service"

Coloradough Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (398) • $$

"Very flavorful pizza with tons of creative options. The Aspen was so delicious and the Hawaiian met expectations. The crust was a little chewier (thin not thick) than we typically appreciate. Will order again"

Amir Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (375) • $$

"1.5 years later, I'm finally visiting Amir Grill in-person. WEIRDLY, I kinda like ordering takeout from them more. The menu isn't as comprehensive, though they obviously serve the same things. Everything they serve here tastes fresh. My favorite thing to order is the Lamb Kebab plate. I've never really tried anything else. Their hummus and side of sour cream (or whatever dairy deliciousness) is incredible, accentuating every meal. One of my favorites!"

Pizza Republica

★★★★☆ 3.7 (523) • $$

"The planets must've aligned last Wednesday or we missed a full moon or something. The location in downtown is good but this location in DTC is great! Kevin was our waiter and took care of us from beginning to end. He struck up conversation, made suggestions and was ever so confident with pairing wine with the ladies in our group.The food was on point like the service. Meatball as an appetizer followed by a salad and everyone got pizza for themselves. It worked out and we had a great time catching up. Wish there was more to add but this is as top notch as it gets! Thanks Pizza Republica!"

Sexy Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (611) • $

"We've ordered from here a few times and it is pretty consistent and decent pizza. I think it's a little on the pricey side for pizza but it's pretty tasty. Quality ingredients and a nice crisp crust."

Sazza Pizza + Salads

★★★★★ 4.5 (343) • $$

"Small little place with lots of fresh and delicious salad and pizza options! Came here with a party of 8 and we were able to squeeze into a booth pretty quickly. The restaurant was clean and it was easy to go up and order and then sit at the table and wait for your meal which is brought to you. Employees were friendly and were quick with any additional items you may need. They also serve beer and wine - frosted glasses were a perk. I'd definitely come back again and would love to try the salads. The pizza is very thin, so make sure you order enough!"

Abrusci's Fire & Vine

★★★★☆ 3.7 (500) • $$

"This was our first time at this location. We used to go to the Cherry Creek location many years ago before they closed. We had family in town and they were coming down from the mountains and love Italian food and so we picked Abrusci's to meet at. We didn't have a reservation and they said it would be about a 45 minute wait. We walked to the bar to order a drink while we wait and spotted a table and was told we could sit there since it is considered bar seating. Perfect! We cancelled our name at the front and sat immediately. Our server was awesome. I wish I could remember his name. He was super nice, quick, and great with recommendations. I tried something new and got the Al Fresca pasta dish. It was so light and the sauce was addicting. Great dish, especially for a vegetarian dish. I would totally order that again. Everyone loved everything they got as well and ended the evening with some delicious cannolis. Man were those good! Great cocktails too. Cool vibe, love their garage doors that roll up making your indoor seating outdoor. It made the restaurant brighter and feel more open. Love it!"

Wood Paddle Pizza and Tap

★★★★☆ 4.4 (346) • $$

"Fantastic Pizza, such nice staff, great beers on tap... What more do you need?I tried wood paddle pizza for the first time shortly after they opened, must've been five years ago now. I was quickly hooked! I used to live very close and probably ate there way too many times, long before I ever became a yelper. So I was a little nervous going back for the first time in years because I so desperately needed it would be as delicious as it was back then. But, as we know, all too often quality tends to suffer after so much time goes by. And our tastes can change. Well I am happy to report that neither the quality of their food nor my taste buds have changed one bit! My favorite pizza (Armando) is still fire. If anything was missing some of that fennel pollen flavor that I loved so much, next time maybe I'll just order more. But everything else about it was exactly what I remember... Flavorful sauce, gooey cheese, savory sausage, perfectly chard broccoli! And that crust is SO delicious. I actually ate two slices completely. I usually don't eat the edge of the crust because it's either not good or I don't wanna waste the carbs and calories. But I ate every last bite of each piece! Such a great little hidden gem in Aurora! Arguably the best pizza in Aurora in my opinion!"

Modern Market Eatery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (439) • $$

"I come to this store on a semi-regular basis because it is near my home. I would like to specifically call out Akavia who went out of their way to extend me some additional hospitality on a day where I was "having a day." It was a complete game changer. It's things like this that will bring me back to Mod Market in Cherry Hills on an on-going basis. Thanks, fam!"
