Wyman's No 5

This review is mainly for the staff, dive bar ambiance, and the people there. I love hanging out at this bar, having a beer, and just shooting some pool. Good people, good, mostly friendly bartenders, and it's my go-to spot to have a drink around my residence. Free pool mondays (I hesitate to write this bc I don't want anyone going there and taking the tables up haha). $2 slices on Tuesdays. Decent food specials most days of the week. I'd say their pizza is about a 7.3 or so for their Chicago bar pie, and their Chicago deep dish is about a 7.7. I'm not a huge deep dish guys, but it's good. All in all, a good spot to grab some drinks, play some pool, maybe watch some games on TV (it's a Chicago, so Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, etc), but they're also popping during Denver games too, and major sporting events, like playoffs and such.

Wyman's has become my favorite watering hole! It's a Chicago sports bar with lots of TVs, 2 pool tables & a kitchen that serves up delicious thin crust pizza, deep dish, Chicago dogs & hoagies. It kinda has a dive bar feel too, which is my jam! They have daily food specials Mon-Thurs and they have happy hour twice daily.. and they even serve single slices late night! Chelsea the bartender is my favorite, she's sweet & so fun.. and she goes out of her way to make sure everyone is having a good time (even remembered us after our first time there). Mike & Sam are great too!The place is actually pretty spacious enough to be a bar & restaurant. There's 2 sides of the bar with probably 20ish barstools & like 15 tables. The pizza was on point! $22 for a large thin crust supreme pizza & it hit the spot, I loved the fresh jalapenos. I can't wait to try the other items. Wymans is my new go to.. while I love playing pool at Don's, it gets too crowded with 21 year olds & Wymans just has a better vibe & older crowd! Aaaand delicious food!!

We had a good time here and the atmosphere was really good. We only grabbed a few drinks and beers, but the prices were great. There were a bunch of pool tables. I didn't try any food. Everyone we ran into inside and outside was friendly.

I got a pepperoni slice $5.40 with tip and tax. It was alright for bar pizza. But my friends all got a way bigger slice (like double the size) lol

Great Pizza! Deep dish is a dying art, so if you like it... GO!!! Dive bar feel, I didn't eat there, but that's the vibe for sure. Called to verify my order, which I appreciated so can't say enough.

Great little spot with pool tables, great drink deals and the pepperoni rolls! I could probably eat the pepperoni rolls for the rest of my life. Definitely don't miss out on this place!

I reeeeally wanted to like this place. I've been on a search for Chicago-style deep dish pizza since I moved to Denver. So when an ex-Chicago coworker mentioned this place, I was excited to give it a try. I read where some reviewers compared it to Chicago's Lou Malnati's, and others wrote that Wyman's No 5 is from the same pizza-making school as Lou's. Unfortunately, for me hoping to get a Lou Malnati's type pizza, it turned out the highlight of the meal was the sweet woman bartender who greeted, seated, and served us.Now keep in mind I'm comparing it to Chicago deep dish from Lou Malnati's. You may like the way Wyman's No 5 makes their pizzas because it's a deep dish with lots of tasty ingredients. Its sauce has a little tang to it, the green peppers were crispy like I like them and the cheese was good. So I'll tell you why it's not like Lou's for you ex-Chicagoans and why I didn't care for this particular pizza for everyone else reading it.CRUSTThe crust on the Wyman's pizza was thin, crunchy (like a biscuit), and burnt. Every bite gave me the flavors from the top, and the burnt crunchy crust flavors from the bottom. I've read reviews about other pizzas from here being burnt so maybe that's the way they make them. One time I was in Kansas City and I went to an Uno's (Another Chicago chain of deep dish pizza that I like.) The pizza crust and toppings were burnt as if they'd left it in the oven 10 minutes more than they should have. When I called it to the attention of the server, he didn't understand the complaint because that's the way they always served it. So maybe burnt crust is just the way Wyman's serves it. It was my first time there so I don't know. But it wasn't enjoyable.The crust on a Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza is a little more bready, a little thicker, buttery, and not burnt. If you have the room in your stomach, it's tempting to also eat the crust on a Lou's pizza because it's good. I wasn't tempted to eat the Wyman's crust. INGREDIENTSThe sauce on the Wyman's pizza has a slight tang to it. I was fine with that. There was a lot of sauce, and a good mix of tomato, green peppers, and onions. (I told them to leave off the pepperoni.)There should have been more sausage and cheese if it's going to match Lou's. (I don't think the tomato sauce needs to be sweet like Lou's. Tangy was fine.) Normally when you cut out a piece of Lou's pizza, a small amount of cheese and sauce will ooze into the pan. With the Wyman's pizza, because the crust and cheese weren't thick, the sauce easily oozed like soup into the pan when I removed a piece. This place has so much potential. It's in a nice location, the insides are really welcoming, comfortable, and large. The bartender was wonderful. So I guess the 3 stars versus 4 or 5 is because the pizza was burnt, which overshadowed all the other flavors.By the way, my wife got a Chicago hot dog and said it was very good!

I was introduced to Wyman's by a friend who's also a Chicago transplant a few years ago. It's a great neighborhood bar to hang out in person at, and catch a Blackhawks game. Until recently, I didn't realize you could place an order for pickup (directly) or delivery (via Grubhub). Truthfully, it didn't occur to me to check, since it's more of an in-person hang. But with Covid, all bets are off, and I gave Wyman's via delivery a chance as part of an extensive same-day taste-test of Denver Deep Dish pizzas. While the beginning was rocky, the conclusion was tasty. Wyman's was a come-from-behind favorite.----------------Logistics Statistics:-Size: Large (Measured about 14")--this was a GENEROUSLY sized pizza-Price w/toppings & tax: $27.92 (Sausage, Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers)--No pre-set topping packages, but everything was reasonably priced. This was the most economical of the true deep dish pizzas.-Delivery: $1.99, plus order-based $2.81 in Grubhub % fees; arrived within 40 minutes of ordering, at a distance of just under a mile.Taste Test Take-Aways:-Pizza arrived a hot mess--literally. It was ordered uncut via Yelp, but was cut anyways, and on delivery, 2-3 pieces engaged in a massive slide that dislodged cheese and sauce in a way that appeared tragic.-Crust was in reality, too thin--a fact made apparent by the photos. That said, it was a nice blend of cornmeal and flour that made it enjoyable to eat, and despite the pizza being uncut, it held up to the leftover test.-Sauce, while a bit heavy, was intensely flavored and a spicy complement to the toppings.-Toppings could've been more generous, and were a bit crisp from what seemed like a quick cook time. That said...-THE CHEESE! The cheese on this pizza was in abundance, had a glorious stretch, and was enough to make you forget about life.Comparison Conundrum:-Wyman's was best compared with Crush Pizza & Tap, both of which are in the Lou Malnati's school of Chicago deep dish. While the crust could've definitely been thicker and the pizza better presented, it had a ton of flavor, and held up over time for leftovers. If you love cheese and spice, eat this pizza. That's what I'll be doing.

Love the vibe here. Its my go to neighborhood place when I just need a drink and chill.

The crust was undercooked and soft and not Chicago like at all. They also got my order wrong. I asked for no mushrooms. The hot dog I had was fine but had no crisp or snap. The tots were bad. I was really disappointed. 2.5/5
