Denver’s 10 best pizza places according to TripAdvisor Travelers

Trying to find the best pizza in Denver is basically a local sport. Everyone has a take, everyone swears their spot is the spot, and someone will absolutely mention New York unprompted. But if you want a list that’s crowdsourced by travelers who took a break from altitude sickness to leave reviews, TripAdvisor has opinions.

Here are the top 10 “best” pizza places in Denver, ranked by TripAdvisor traveler ratings.

1. Marco’s Coal Fired

Coming in hot—literally. This place is all about that coal-fired situation, which means crisp edges, legit char and the kind of crust that doesn’t need a pep talk to hold up toppings.

2. Hops & Pie

Pizza and beer, the classic love story. This neighborhood favorite is known for solid slices and a tap list that makes it dangerously easy to stay “for just one more.”

3. Osteria Marco

If you’re feeling like pizza, but make it a little fancy, this is your move. It’s the kind of spot that can do comfort food without acting like it’s above you.

4. Blue Pan Pizza

Detroit-style fans, you’ve found your people. Expect thick, crispy-edged, cheese-forward pizza that eats like a meal and sits like one, too.

5. Angelo’s Taverna

A Denver staple that does a lot of things well, including pizza. It’s reliable, lively and a solid pick when you want something that works for a group without starting a debate.

6. Pizza Republica

Neapolitan-inspired vibes with a focus on simple, classic flavors done right. If you’re here for airy crust and that blistered, oven-kissed look, you’re in the right place.

7. Mellow Mushroom (Downtown Denver)

Yes, it’s a chain. Yes, it still made the list. Sometimes people want funky pies, a fun atmosphere and zero pressure to be “serious” about pizza. Fair.

8. FlyteCo Tower

Part hangout, part pizza stop, all-around good time. If you like your pizza with a side of “we might be here a while,” this spot earns its ranking.

9. Atomic Cowboy

Late-night legend energy. It’s the kind of place that shows up for you when your evening has evolved into “I need pizza immediately.”

10. Esters Denver

A neighborhood go-to with a strong all-around menu, including pizza that keeps people coming back. It’s casual, dependable and clearly doing something right.
