Famous Original J's Pizza

Famous J's Pizza in Denver is a solid spot for a quick bite, especially before catching a show like Adam Conover at Cervantes.I grabbed a pepperoni slice and a margherita slice. The pepperoni was fantastic--great flavor, nice firm crust, and a solid overall bite. The margherita, on the other hand, was a little underwhelming. The crust was still good, but the basil flavor was bland, and the cheese came in an uneven chunk.Still, the vibe of the place is great. We ordered from the window and ate standing up. We could see picnic tables but didn't know how to get to them and didn't investigate, but it worked out fine. Definitely worth a visit for that pepperoni slice!

Located on the corner next to the 715 Club in the historic Five Points neighborhood, Famous Original J's takes you to the streets of NYC where pizza by the slice is commonplace. Look for the to-go window along Welton to place your order. There is an outside area with picnic tables you can sit at while you eat your slice. Or hop into the 715 Club with your pizza and order a drink- also fun! Slices are around $5 or you can get a whole pie for less than $30. Pizza by the slice comes out pretty quickly and orders are taken by friendly folk. I crave this pizza! There are a few Famous J's around the metro area, so I would highly recommend stopping in when you see one. It's worth it!

Famous Original J's Pizza is a great place to walk-up and grab a slice at this window location. Service is friendly and fast. Whole pies can also be ordered, but I appreciate the slice option for a quick fix. So quick, I forgot to take a pic of my of my meat lover's NY style slice with plentiful toppings (pepperoni, sausage, and ham) on a large thin foldable crust. Always hits the spot!

It's really hard to find a "perfect" vegan pizza but this was pretty damn close! Perfect flop, tasty crust, and nice large pizza! Garlic knots were to die for!

Quick and tasty. The pinwheels are very greasy but the pizza was delicious! A great spot for a quick bite

Very good pizza spot in Denver - has become one of my go-to's, and is my favorite in Cap Hill. I usually order a large cheese pizza when I come here. First of all - the pie is huge! The flavor is some of the best in Denver, and a good blend of cheese and sauce. The crust and undercarriage is well done and not burnt, just how I like it. If I were to nit-pick a few things - I wish it was a little thicker / firmer, and that there was not so much crust on the edge of a slice. Overall this is a great spot to get a slice (or pie) of pizza. It can really fill up on summer nights. The pizza is on the pricey side, but I still think it is a good value due to the large size of the slice. I would recommend and continue to return.

I've never met a pizza I didn't like.. until now. Seriously, if you know me, you know I love pizza. Anything from a major chain, to a walk up spot, to a gourmet pie. I love it all. I really don't think you can go wrong with crust and cheese and toppings. Well, sadly I have been mistaken.We were in the area for some drinks and I had not tried this spot yet so we decided to order a few slices. My fiancé got two slices of cheese and I got a slice of margherita. The patio was pretty packed, but there was no one in line at the walk up window, so we walked on up and placed our order. Our slices came out about 2 minutes later. Immediately, I noticed my margherita looked absolutely devastating. If you peep the photo I took, you can see there is zero sauce and the toppings are so dried up and sad looking. I thought maybe I'd still give it chance and hopefully it tasted better than it looked. Well, biting into it tasted like it had been sitting out all day. It was cold and stale. I was so bummed because this spot has been on my list for quite some time. I'm hoping we just went on an off night. I do know that it wasn't just my slice that was off, because I tasted my fiancés cheese pizza and it was bland, cold, and also stale. This may be the first time ever that I didn't finish my pizza. Not sure if I'll be back to give it another chance. But hoping others have better luck than we did.

2.5/5. The slices were bigger than we expected, but overall pretty disappointing. We got a slice each of cheese, pepperoni, grandma, and white. The only one with any amount of flavor was the pepperoni. I don't usually eat pepperoni pizza, but found myself liking that one the best. We had to drench all of the slices in parm & red pepper flakes and frankly still struggled to get through it. The crust was decent, but the sauce and cheese really just did not pull it together. The grandma especially was disappointing, as the corner piece we got had a noticeable lack of cheese.Great patio for people watching and I could see coming back after a night out, but I will not be back next time I am craving a slice.

We just moved out here and it didn't take us long to realize the food scene is abysmal. However, this place did not disappoint. It was reasonably priced and very delicious

How could this place improve? Getting drone striked. Peaked in kindergarten ass employees.
