Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Good pizza, good knots. Decently greasy all around, but I suppose that comes with the territory. I'd rather give them 4.5 stars, but can't, so rounding down as I've had a couple less-than-stellar pies from here. But for the neighborhood, probably the best option.

Staff seems nice but so far I have been waiting for my pickup for over 20 minutes now. Pretty sure they forgot it or something happened. Update: Food and pizza was decent at best. Didn't like the flavor o's mozz cheese on pizza, can tell it's of lower quality. Dough was decent too but the pizza was cooked perfectly however. Shrimp scampi was anything you can make at home. For the price I was expecting a lot more. A nice place to bring with small chikdren but If you can skip this place I would and go to Digorgios not much farther away.
(2)Ernie S.
Terrific. Fresh, tasty, best crust in town, full menu, ice cream, salad. The crust and sauce makes this pizza the best. Friendly service and delivery
(5)Emilee D.
This is a great place if you have kids. If you're looking for a quiet meal, then not so much as it's usually full of kids and gets pretty loud. The food is just okay. It tasted like something you would easily slap together at home. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce tasted like Ragu. My side salad was just iceberg lettuce with cheap, store bought ranch dressing. The garlic knots weren't very garlicky and were a bit dry. I did enjoy the garlic bread though.
(2)Susan B.
Great thin crust pizza, nice toppings convenient neighborhood location. We will definitely be regulars!
(4)Matthew V.
I do not give places a 5 very easily- but WOW Staff was extremely nice- could tell it was our first time here and after ordering we realized we didn't order garlic knots- they gave us some on the house!!!!!!! They were busy and we were insanely pleased with how diligent the staff checked in with us letting us know the progress. When the delicious kids ravioli arrived, they cautioned us it was seriously hot- even advised us the wait was due to having to remake the ravioli because the first ones came out wrong!!!! Are you kidding me!!!--- an HONEST and HOME MADE eatery!!!!! The pizza was amazing as well, perfect ratio of sauce, and the sauce was seriously delicious- I could have eaten a bowl of the sauce alone and been happy. Hands doen- one of the best pizza joints I have ever eaten at- and LOVE the crew!!!!!!!!
(5)J N.
This review is only for their pizza. Maybe they do other dishes better. I have ordered for both delivery and take and bake and have tried three pizzas (in desperation due to lack of time). Once I ordered a pizza and it was actually pretty decent. I got extra cheese and that is probably why--who doesn't love cheese? In fact, i think of pizza as a vehicle for cheese...Sadly, although I gave it an honest try, the next three ordered pretty much sucked. The people are super nice, but the pizza is pretty bad. Once, I ordered a medium and it came small (and they claimed it was 12 inch pizza--what a JOKE). It was shrunken, and looked more like a soup bowl than a pizza! That is, way too much "handle" and way too few ingredients. Another time I ordered the pizza it arrived cold. So, I decided to do take n bake. The take n bake is a MUCH better value than delivery, but it's rather like the old joke; "the food is bad and the portions are too small." NOW the pizza... DO NOT order anything with meat--in particular sausage. The sausage is a weird red color and clearly is extruded meat. Very cheap, very bland , very dry and very gross! They skimp on the cheese and have done so on all the three pizzas I have had --except that one.... The crust is good, but the sauce is thin and bland. In short, don't order the pizza.
(2)Matt O.
Good pizza. Great place for kids. Service is quick just wish they delivered further to the tech center. We go here frequently because it's relatively close.
(4)Subramanian V.
Terrific italian eatery. We ordered pizza and it was amazing. I would highly recommend this place.
(4)Sam T.
We are done with this place!! Something happened like a key cook left. Last 9 times we have been here we've said "no good - never again." And after last Thursday we are done. Food quality has dropped significantly. Salads are rotten, chicken wings are raw and fatty and pizza is super greasy and Calazones are stuffed with pepperoni that are 10 stuck together and ricotta cheese overkill. They don't care about their product anymore!
(1)Edward G.
Everything is always great, The Chelsea is the best pizza I have had in Denver. I grew up in NY and this place reminds me of home!
(5)Robin M.
I really like the neighborhood feel of this red sauce restaurant. Clean and neat, not fancy, good food, good prices, and nice servers. I love the lasagna, Greek salad, and pizzas. My son's favorite is still the chef's special penne pasta. Can't forget the pinwheels, meat or veggie for just $4 and a meal in itself. Having beer and wine available is great, and the house red wine is very pleasant. There's also ice cream if you ever have any room left! The other night we had one of the best pizzas ever. The Five Boroughs gives you your choice of any five toppings. We thought hard and chose pepperoni, breakfast bacon, artichokes, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes. The pizza came out heaped with toppings! It was so delicious. We got the 18 inch extra-large pizza and took half home. A bargain at $22.25.
(5)Chris H.
I went here with a large group. Someone in our group had eaten here before and they had been very pleased with it. We order a wide variety food and I was really looking forward to trying their pizza. After Chicago pizza, NY style pizza is my favorite and I anticipated good greasy thin crust pizza. Well...the pizza was good...but not up to my expectations of NY style pizza. The pizza was probably 4 star...but we also ordered some lasagna and the lasagna was cold in the middle! The garlic knots that the restaurant is named after were also just OK. So...very good pizza, OK everything else. Oh...and good service.
(3)EJ S.
Great little family restaurant. We have two small children, and the staff are always so wonderful and accommodating, in spite of the mess we sometimes leave behind.
(5)Lindsay A.
It was a chilly night and it was decided that delivery was to be ordered. The Garlic Knot has been in my bookmarks for months now and upon looking at the menu, everything looked amazing! We ordered the Mott Street and garlic knots to share. The food took about an hour to get here. I was warned when placing the order that it could be awhile but still went through with it. When the driver arrived, she was very sweet and apologetic about how long it took and apparently everyone had the same idea for dinner that we did. The food was still hot upon arrival and was delicious! The garlic knots were perfectly cooked and came with a side of their yummy marinara. The pizza had a really good crust that had the perfect amount of doughy-ness but was crispy at the same time. There were plenty of toppings and cheese as well. Very friendly on the phone and delivery service.
(4)Krista E.
Maybe the best garlic knots I've ever had! The pizza was good, service was good and staff were super friendly. Would definitely recommend this place!
(5)Johan Z.
Excellent waitress! My fiance and I couldn't help but give a 14$ tip tonight, excellent food, great and quick service, even handled our complicated pizza order! In my top 5 for Denver! We received a free order of Garlic Knots, which were absolutely amazing dipped in the marinara sauce, and we got a half and half pizza. My half was Olive oil base, chicken and pineapple. My fiances was regular with pineapple and garlic.
(5)G S.
Came back and again, slow service, burnt first pizza.....when we got the new pizza it was very good. But from a service perspective....I detect a trend.
(2)Wayne A.
This is great pizza place! Get a whole pie or grab a slice to go.... It's always clean and the staff is great!
(5)Eric N.
Excellent food, great service, nice atmosphere and being able to get seated quickly when arriving at or after 6pm on a Friday...can't go wrong with that!!
(4)Lauren P.
The service here was excellent. But in general the food here was a definite-- meh. If you are looking for cheap, quick, okay quality Italian food, with great service, go here! If you are looking for something delicious- this is not your place.
(3)Kelly B.
Absolutely awesome for kids!!! They have a little ice cream bar area. You can do birthday parties in the kitchen too! The staff is never bothered by kids which is nice. And they have booze for the parents which a major bonus!! It's a pizza joint. Order pizza and you won't be disappointed.
(5)Olivia P.
Delicious. I live right down the street and this is our go-to pizza delivery. It has never let us down!
(5)Amy F.
I am a total fan! ordered delivery a while back. Great Pizza! Very fresh tasting, the sauce had great flavor, and the slices are huge! The cheese garlic knots are a carb lovers dream... ooohy goooey, cheesy, and chewy! YUM!
(4)Laura E.
This place was rather disappointing. My boyfriend ordered the manicotti, which was admittedly tasty, and we shared some crazy delicious garlic bread, so it gets points for that... but that doesn't do enough to make up for the sad excuse for shrimp scampi I just consumed. There was absolutely no sauce to be found. The noodles were dry, and there was less than a quarter of an inch of water, what I maybe should assume was the sauce? It was more likely just shrimp juice that tasted slightly lemony. Sort of. It was actually pretty gross. If you had thawed frozen shrimp, then boiled the spaghetti and threw some butter and garlic powder, it would have been easily 5 times better than what I order. Plus , it was a lunch quantity? If I'm paying over $10 for a piece of meal, I expect it to taste better than the Italian equivalent to a dollar menu burger. So basically what I'm saying here is stay the hell away from the shrimp scampi.
(3)Erin A.
Usually the guys here are super fast. Like top five minutes to bring the food out. It's great. Today. 20 mins. Late going back to work. Not everyone has an hour for lunch. Not cool.
(1)Daphne T.
I have to say this place is quite good. I really enjoyed my beer (happy hour $1 off draft from 2-6)with the Chef's Special Penne and garlic knots. It's a pink cream sauce with chicken, broccoli, mushrooms Romano cheese, and jalapeños (optional). The jalapeños add a good kick to the pasta, never had spicy in pasta before but it sure is delicious. Garlic knots have a nice crispy outer and soft inside. I think it could use a little more garlic though. Overall, enjoyed the food here.
(4)Liz S.
Our server Colleen was amazing and the food was great too. We will definitely be back!
(5)Amy C.
Good garlic knots, terrible pizza, it was so greasy I couldn't even eat it. Yuck. The kind of pizza that is better cold the next day.
(2)Kristy K.
I am a fan of The Garlic Knot. I have ordered take out a couple times since moving to the area. I am always left satisfied. I love their garlic knots. They are the perfect consistency, nice and soft, with just a wee bit of crisp. I love them. Their pizza is also solid. It is my new go-to pizza in the area. I have also ordered their calzone with pepperoni and basil and it is awesome. I highly recommend The Garlic Knot if you are looking for a go-to pizza place in the neighborhood.
(4)Alex L.
Our waitress was more concerned with gossiping with her coworkers around the fountain drinks than making sure our drinks were filled. She had a stale personality that said "hurry up and eat your food so I can go home." She forgot a lot of stuff (i.e. silverware, sweetener, and our drinks) and was quick to dash between our table and her coworker. While our waitress' service was sloppy, the food was not. I enjoyed the pizza and garlic knots. When we left, she saw us leave and wasn't even thanked for business or any wave. Apparently, attending to her daily gossip was more important than the patrons.
(2)Tif D.
I'm updating because delivery has improved :) Started ordering the "Grandma" pie, it's a Sicilian style and it blows the NY outta the watta! I don't know if they use a different sauce, but it's rich and thick-not too sweet. It really has that homemade feel and flavor and it has been perfectly cooked to doneness as well.
(4)Deejay S.
I love this place. Staff is very friendly and the food is always tasty. I like the lunch specials . you must try the Garlic knots they are amazing. Pizza is also very delicious.
(5)Kirk S.
I had take out from them. Some pizza, garlic knots, a salad. Everything was just so-so. Not good enough to warrant a second order.
(3)Robin H.
The garlic knots are to die for!! I had the chicken Parmesan sandwich - didn't knock my socks off but it was tasty. I want to come back to try the pizza - have heard a lot of positive comments. I ordered to go so I can't comment on the restaurant itself.
(4)Tiffany N.
I wasn't too impressed with this place but I would be willing to give it another go, mostly because the service was lackluster along with the flavorless pizza. We went here last nigh thanks to them sending me a free pizza and garlic knots coupon. There were two other tables seated when we walked in the smell of the place alone is enticing and had my belly grumbling. I have no idea what our servers name was because she was just there and had the personality of a wet mop. She brought our drinks, forgot the sweetener for the tea (the tea? Absolutely disgusting, pass) and was just meh. There was one other server working and she was talking the ear off someone about how she grew up in NY, all about living there, blah blah blah, it was distracting and annoying. Everything came out really quick which was appreciated but that was the best part about the experience. The house salad is enough to fill up two people so split that if you want a salad. The garlic knot basket is huge and I made the rookie mistake of filling up on those but they weren't garlicy at all so that was a let down. Our pizza came our right after the knots and it seemed small for a medium sized pizza (6 slices total). We got the sausage and pineapple and I love that the sausage was more shredded/sliced than traditional crumbled sausage. The pineapple was canned and too sweet and the pizza as a whole was unmemorable thanks to a bland sauce and tasteless dough. I'm not a complete fool though, I took it to go and it was a little better the day after. Our server was quick to give us the bill and we were on our way and yeaaaah, just a lousy experience as a whole. I couldn't waste my money on this place when there are tons of other pizza places out there that are more reasonably prices and actually have some taste to their food.
(2)James W.
Pizza was a little better than most chain establishments. I was looking for a place close by that I could order from regularly. Ended up a little disappointed. Pizza took easily over an hour to be delivered and I'm less than a mile away. When my delivery did show up, the caesar salad I ordered didn't make it on the trip. The driver did however give me back what was owed for the missed item. The garlic knots could use some more...how should I say it, GARLIC! They weren't bad, but when this is what your establishment is named after I expect them them to be outstanding. Only hints of garlic and they we're chewy like they had been thawed from a frozen box. I'm always up for second chances, it just might not be for a while.
(3)Nick L.
Pizza and lunch is usually a wining combination for me, throw in some garlic knots and I'm golden. That has been my experience with the Garlic Knot, the pizza is slightly above average and the garlic knots are well amazing. Granted if your namesake showcases a menu item it better be amazing. That being said, I frequent the GK for lunch. The slice of pizza, knots and soda is my go to. When something works, why change it right? The service is always prompt and the restaurant is clean and run well. Nice little pizza joint with amazing garlic knots!
(3)Judi D.
Hands down, some of the best lasagna and garlic knots to be found in Denver. This isn't a pretentious Italian place but a perfect joint for great food for around ten bucks. The quality of the food could easily cost more, but the casual atmosphere makes it great for families. Beer and wine, easy parking and quick service. We go here at least once a month, just wish it was closer to home!
(5)Dylan L.
I decided to try The Garlic Knot on a night when I wanted pizza, but none of the chain crap-I wanted to find something new. That's when I remembered I had a coupon for a free pizza and garlic knots from them, as a "welcome to the neighborhood" promotion. I ordered for carry out-I got my free pizza and garlic knots, plus ordered another medium pizza so I wouldn't just be taking some free stuff from them. The staff here is awesome-very nice, and fast. As mentioned, I went for carry out but noticed that their dine in area looked really nice. They have beers on tap and to my knowledge, a happy hour too. The pizza was good-not amazing, but really good. Good ingredients all around. The garlic knots were also super tasty. Overall, the Garlic Knot is all about good pizza and great service. I'll definitely be back.
(4)Zach S.
Excellent family place. Great service, food, and a tasty ice cream sundae bar. An ideal choice for a family meal. The service is near perfect. Everything we have ordered has been very good. We pass by 10 pizza/Italian places on our way to Garlic Knot and it is completely worth it.
(5)Eric M.
Nice cozy spot that smells great when you enter. The waitress was slow even though the place was nearly empty and the mozzarella sticks were forgettable, tasted and looked like frozen store bought stuff. But the pizza was really good and the prices were right. I will likely visit again.
(4)Alfred L.
Found my local Italian place. Ordered eggplant parmesan with knots take out and was very satisfied. Highly recommended.
(5)Terry L.
Fist off - bad parking and kinda hard to find. However I had an inexpensive lunch special- served mere minutes from order time by their friendly staff. Okay quality and quantity for the Calzone Lunch Combo Is it the best pizza in Denver?? Hardly Knot (haha) --however it does the trick for this area in a pinch.
(3)Emily G.
Went here on a whim with some friends and was pleasantly surprised. I just moved here from Chicago so I was looking for a good pizza place; The Garlic Knot did not disappoint. We split a large, half "Chelsea" (pepperoni, meatball and sausage) and half "Ebbet's Field" (spinach, ricotta, tomato and garlic). I didn't expect it to be so good. Slices are not super-thin and greasy like most New York style but have some substance. Not too much cheese and a perfect amount of meat without being overwhelming. In my opinion, perfect pizza sauce. (Garlic knots were great too!) Service was very fast and friendly; server remembered our names and drinks. Not bad at all - would be a fun place to go for college students looking for cheap delicious food.
(5)Paul W.
On my eternal quest to find good pizza in Denver, I tried out Garlic Knot - that and the fact that it's close to home .. and, I am sad to say, my gym. Yes, I've been known to pop in after a long workout. It makes no sense, i know ... but, i digress ... Overall, it's a good pie. Nothing spectacular to me, but it hits the pizza craving when you need it. I've enjoyed the Rockefeller ...
(3)Angela A.
We have been wanting to try out the Garlic Knot since it opened down on the Blvd but just never made it. Finally we had a hankering for pizza the other night and had company, so we ordered. We blindly ordered though because the website sucks! You can't even see the menu online, it's either microscopic or gigantic. But hey, it's pizza, so just go with it. So, we ordered a large pie with generic toppings. I asked about their appetizers, I could hardly understand the chic on the other end because it was really loud. I figured we'd try the garlic knots, since it is their namesake and all-they can't be too bad. The pizza was delivered quickly. It was piping hot and they delivery guy was very nice, we weren't ready for him, he came too fast! The pie was good. I personally thought it was a bit on the small size for a large. One thing that stood out to me was they went light on the sauce, which is plus for me. The crust was good, it was on the thin side, but no NY pizza thin. We all very much enjoyed the pizza. The garlic knots weren't bad either, although my husband and I would have preferred more garlic. We requested a menu and hope to try again. The price is right, the food is good and delivered really fast. Perfect for a lazy night at home.
(3)Elizabeth E.
The service was fantastic and the food was hot, fresh and just as fantastic. The garlic knots with melted mozzarella are a must. I had a calzone that was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of cheese and ingredients. My boyfriend had the penne blanco that was also delicious. And everything was reasonably priced. Great spot for lunch or dinner.
(5)Melissa W.
This is our favorite neighborhood pizza place! The quality of cheese and meat are amazing. Our favorites are the combo zone and pepperoni pizza. The delivery staff is always so friendly.
(5)Jason J.
Came in here after a movie at the IMAX the other day. Recently saw them on a ROTD and since I love garlic knots it seemed like the perfect choice. We started off with the garlic knots, which were pretty good - if a little overcooked. Maybe I'm pampered because I've been to Big Bill's, but they didn't wow me like Bill's does. The wife and I both ordered a calzone with pepperoni and sausage. The server made a point of telling us we could have up to 4 toppings and that that's what we were paying for, but we both ordered what we wanted so that's what we stuck with. The calzones were good, but again they seemed a little overcooked. Now the bad... He never once came by to see if we wanted refills. I fianlly got up and ran over to the fountain machine myself and topped us off. Not getting refills is one of my biggest pet peeves. My other peeve happened at the end of the meal. So the second we were done eating and just sitting there talking he came by with the check and said, "I don't want to rush you, no rush." But he was going to anyway. "My shift is over soon". And then he hovered. So finally I handed over the CC and he went and ran it and came back. And then hovered some more. Finally we left. The service makes this a 2 star, but the food make it 4, so I'm going to split the difference.
(3)T J.
This place is the best pizza place around. I have never had such amazing service. Our waiter always came to check on us at the perfect times. He kept up on our refills even with it being a dinner rush. The pizza was delicious and the cal zones are amazing as well. There is minimal grease on the pizza and everything tastes so fresh. I will be back a million times. I highly recommend this place!
(5)Brady K.
Went Garlic Knot based on recommendations from Yelpers and because its within my area of normal travels. We had the garlic knots with mozzarella because we figured, hey if they are going to name there restaurant after an appetizer, the appetizer must be their signature dish. It was alright, but nothing spectacular. We were not in the mood for pizza so we asked for recommendations and ordered the Chef's special which was a creamy penne with chicken and broccoli and the shrimp scampi. It was on the heavy side for lunch, but tasted okay. I don't think broccoli is appropriate for a pasta. Maybe cherry tomatoes, maybe even spinach, but not sure they pulled it off. The shrimp scampi was average as well. Service was great and it seemed like a neat little local joint. All in all, its a decent restaurant, but nothing special in my book.
(3)Erica K.
I love this place!! I don't care how you get it Dine-In, carry out, or delivery it's always delicious. I ordered their Greenwich Village pizza for the first time today, YUMMmmmm is all I can say. I ordered over the lunch hour and thought it would take 45min. to an hour for it to show up (and I was willing to wait), and they were here in 30 min. If you haven't eaten here, give them a try. Their food is great!
(5)Sofia D.
Wow great service! Fast delivery, and a very good value the pizza was good, I was surprised by the chopped sausage but you know different is good it was nice to get everything I ordered I'm pretty sure we have just established a new relationship. I am completely satisfied with service, product and price!
(5)Jessica J.
Garlic is right! I needed a mint after this lunch! The garlic knots are chewy buttery goodness (an order of 10 only $3.25) and the calzones are huge. Packed full of fillings and 3 cheeses. Lots of big booths and a nice staff to help you around the menu if you are new. I liked it well enough I would head back.
(4)Christopher S.
Somewhere between a sit down, red sauce old world Italian place and a pizza parlor, the Garlic Knot has been consistent over the times I've visited. The lasagna is exactly what one would expect - thick layers of ricotta, meats, and mozzarella topped with more cheese and a red sauce, baked to simmering and bubbling over. The salads are simple but effective. Dressings on the side, nothing fancy but mixed greens, black olives, carrots, and some shredded mozzarella. They seem to do a brisk take-out and delivery business so the front reception area is split between that service and seating walk in traffic. High backed booths in green leatherette, tables covered with checkered tablecloths, hanging overhead lamps, the décor matches expectations. My only complaint is the service is at times inexperienced and lacking in the more subtle points of restaurant service. That minor quibble aside, generally I'd recommend this restaurant for a family outing or for delivery. And, yes, they do have actual garlic knots that are small tasty morsels of garlicy, buttery, baked goodness.
(3)Jane S.
I just drove over 1000 miles. Ok, well, I drove over 600 miles today. 400 yesterday. Yes....I just moved to Denver. My car is still packed with stuff. My dog is still disoriented and keeps standing in the corner like some re-enactment of The Blair Witch Project because she is scared. I can't seem to find any pajamas, and my air conditioning is not working. But you know what? I just had some awesome pizza. Delivered in about 25 minutes (despite the quoted wait time of 45-60), with some of the best garlic knots I've ever tasted. Getting only a 1/2 order was a mistake I won't make next time. This place is on my speed dial. So....howdy Denver. I'm Jane. How YOU doin'?
(4)Rob B.
The Chef's special pasta is incredible. Make sure to order the jalapenos in the pasta. The kids pizzas are great and the sundae bar is perfect for the kids too. The staff is awesome. Their regular pizzas are very good too.
(5)Kari N.
Their sicilian pizza is AWESOME! The first time we went here we ordered a regular old pizza and it was just OK - a little more "doughy" and not as much sauce and cheese as I'm used to (I'm from New Jersey...). However, the second time we ordered from them - we ordered a 1/2 sicilian - YUM! Delicious homeade sauce, just the right amount of crispiness and delicious toppings! We will definitely be going back!
(4)Jenna A.
This place is a hidden gem inside a strip mall. My coworkers are sort of obsessed with this place, they can go 1-3 times a week and they don't really do this with any other restaurant. For one, it's super cheap. You can get lunch for $4.99/person. It includes a drink, either two slices or one slice and garlic knots, etc. Two, the cinnamon knots are to die for. My coworker ordered them for our table and they went really quick. They use the cinnabon frosting to dip in. It's amazing. Three, it's fast! You're in, you're out. You order, you sit, you wait for a minute and your food is served to you. This is soo NOT for the person on a diet or looking to eat less carbs/calories, even if you try the salad. The caesar salad looks almost worse than a slice of pizza. This place isn't in my hood and is sort of out of the way from everything in my life besides work. But I'll be back for lunch again. Those garlic knots are delish.

I try to keep my grain eating to a minimum but when I am going to indulge (hangover) this place really hits the spot. I wouldn't say there is anything really special about this place but the za ain't bad. The beer pitchers seem pretty large so that is a plus, the lunch deals are purdy cheap though I haven't sampled them.

Just finished eating so this reviews "fresh". I ordered a white pizza expecting a traditional NY style white. Man was I disappointed. The crust was mediocre at best. They spread the ricotta across the pie under the mozzerella (which is totally foreign to me), and the flavor was pretty bland. I wont be ordering from here again.

Joe and Lynn are great hosts. This was our first time there and we were treated like regulars. The prices are fair and the service was perfect. The knots are recommended and the pie was delicious. (Yes, we are New Yorkers and that is why we call it a pie.) Skip the chains, visit a good local spot. Uno!

I purchased a 12 or 14 inch pizza at Mayhem. It cost me $9 and was cold... Not exaggerating. The pizza box itself was squashed as well. Needless to say the cold $9 pizza did not satisfy my stomach or wallet. What these guys are doing is thievery and taking advantage of the situation. Because you know I don't want to stand in line for another 15 minutes to tell them I have a cold pizza. Makes me wonder how long it's been sitting there and if it would even meet health code standards.

sigh... just when i think i've found a hidden gem. i'm docking them a star because after a few visits, i'm not sure they are working out the kinks. i have to ask for a plate after they've brought my pizza, i have to ask for napkins, i have to ask for my water refilled... you get the picture. they need to hire some people who will bust tail and show the newbies how it's done. clean the tables, sweep the floor, bring silverware, plates, napkins just before my pizza comes, etc.

Cannot say enough good things about the staff here. I walked in with my brother as we were to meet my parents here before a movie at the Chez Artiste. I thought we only had half an hour to eat and make the movie, so I gave the hostess a heads up about the time crunch. She sent a waitress right over and we ordered within a minute or two. Food was at the table within 10 minutes and she graciously brought us garlic knots and a house salad lickity split when we asked. The food came out fast and tasted great. The garlic knots were nice and chewy. The pizza was good, but nothing particularly of note. Knowing we were in a rush, our waitress brought our check right away and a box in case we had leftovers. You know this place is good when my mom, who doesn't like pizza, picks it as the restaurant for the night.

recommended by a friend so we tried it . It was quaint on a Friday night not busy the service was better than I've had in a very long . friendly service very attentive. great value for your money. you must try the garlic Knots with mozzarella. the calzones are huge and the meatballs are juicy and tasty.

Tasty NY style pizza, even though they are NOT using traditional NY type pizza ovens. Try the Grandma Sadie with pepperoni!!

Friendly service. The food was pretty good. Lots of family's go here so if you want quite then this is not the place to go. Lots of parking available. I would go back to eat here again.

Amore. That's what I feel for their pizza. The dough is great, the toppings are good quality and just enough, and they're sauce and amount of cheese is just perfect. I don't like going downtown, which keeps me away from Buenos Aires Pizzaria, so this is the very best next thing. I heart thee GK...

Friendly staff. Helpful. Was humorous when they said my pizza name.. as Green wich. Being from CT it's pronounced Grennich with no W but oh well. It was supposed to have meatballs on it but I never did find any. Maybe they were pulverized. The sauce, cheese and dough were fair to poor. Not sure how this place gets such rave reviews other than most people out here in Denver have no clue what real Pizza is. It was a real let down. Restaurants here use the name New York as a ploy to make you think you are going to get something really special when every time you get sht. Fugghetaboutit!!

Really nice owners who talk to their guests. Food is very good too but is noisy if there is a party going on. We have had pizza and calzones and never a bad meal in over 5 visits. The garlic knots are warm and tasty too so get a small order. Overall a nice place and we will go back.

Great neighborhood pizza place. I've been to a few highly reviewed pizza places in the Denver area and would put this place against any of them. Crust is always perfect and the ingredients are fresh. Pasta dishes are solid as well. Hard to beat a $2.50 Sunshine Wheat at happy hour as well.

Oh The Garlic Knot, how I am in love with you !! Ordered from here last night for take out and it was great! I always order cheese ravioli and this was one of the better ones. My bf ordered a calzone, which was good but a little greasy. We have leftovers for lunch today which was nice since the bill was only $20 plus an order of their garlic knots(which we will be ordering the full instead of the half order) bc they are amazing.

I love this place. It's a new favorite. The garlic knots are awesome, chewy and crunchy at the same time. The service was top notch. The owner was the one who actually took care of us, and it's clear that he takes a lot of pride in his business. He was really solicitous of our every need, and made sure we enjoyed every part of the meal. We DID! The pizza was thin and gooey in just the right way, while somehow, like magic, the crust was still the right amount crispy. My husband's cream penne pasta with mushrooms and broccoli was an instant favorite. He can't wait to go back, and he is pretty picky about his pasta!

i hate pizza. so why am i reviewing? because the garlic knots are simply amazing. droool. i wanna try the cinnamon ones, but i might just die. my brother & my dad are obsessed with the pizza, and they know good pizza so i'm guessing it's pretty damn good. my mom however, who is also a fan of the pizza, got a pasta dish there once and said it was so horrible she would never go back to there if she didn't know the pizza was good. hmm. the owner is super friendly, but it's freezing inside.

I love this place. The best NY pizza I have found in Denver. and very reasonably priced. The garlic knots are awesome. I love the neighborhood ambiance and the fact that I can bring my kid there without feeling like one of 'those' people (it's loud and definitely kid-friendly; they have a make-your-own-sundae bar). I do agree with another reviewer who mentioned the kinks in service. We have never personally had a problem other than waiting a while for food/drinks, but I have overheard other people complaining. This has only happened when they are packed, which seems to be most of the time. I'm just glad they are busy as it suggests they will stick around!

We LOVe Love love this place! We eat in, get delivery or carry out several times a month and its ALWAYS good! It's not fancy but its reliable and dependable and the service is great, delivery is great too. We like the Madison Square thin crust pizza, the spaghetti with either meatballs or sausage, the calazones, the salads, the garlic knots, the wings, the sausage roll, and all of the other many things we've tried. The only exception for me was the lasagna....not sure what was up with that, but there were really large pieces of meat (meatballs maybe? Or big uncut pieces of sausage? Although, two of my fav things here ARE the meatballs --Yum! And I m crazy for the crumbly sausage they use in the sausage roll and on the pizza....SO, like I said, not exactly sure WHAT meat product was in the lasagna, and that's probably a part of the problem) and the noodles were a bit tough. My boyfriend thought it was good though. Even the cheesecake is good and I think for the quality and the amount of food you get (plus you're dealing with nice and polite people) the price is good too. We will continue to be regulars!!

We have eaten here several times. We have seen this place get steadily more popular. Tasty pizza, good crust. It isn't a large place, but a small neighborhood restaurant. Very clean. The food is good, prices reasonable. It is in a little plaza behind the US Bank on Colorado Blvd. Service is generally pretty good, though sometimes a little slow with the pizza. My wife likes the salads. Warning-they seem to get some large groups with lots of kids and the noise level can be pretty bad sometimes. Overall this is a good place, with good service, a great little neighborhood restaurant. They have a little ice cream freezer too with various flavors. We like this place and will go there again. Great Garlic knots too! They do a lot of takeout too.

The delivery guy dropped a cup of ranch all over my doorstep.... not fun to clean up. and they got my order wrong. and it took 3 times longer than they said it would. and it was cold.

i called today to place an order. i kindly informed the guy that someone else from my office was giong to call with a group order. he told me, i should call back and order with them because it's easier on his drivers. i did so, my coworker called, garlic knots told her i had already put in my order earlier. ultimately, my order was never taken. an hour later, i have no food. i called back, was left on hold for 5 minutes, the manager said not to listen to the front counter guy next time. i still dont have food or acknowledgement of the inconvenience and starvation i incurred with their company.....all to make the delivery driver's job easier. this is my first experience with garlic knots and my last. even if food MIGHT be goodn (i'll never know), the service i experienced is horrendous. i'm glad i have my facebook and twitter accounts to share this news with hundreds of people. next.

With other NY Pizza places in town, I was either disappointed or felt that the pizza was mediocre at best. Garlic Knot pizza is outstanding. Just had the family in from back east and Garlic Knot passed the test with flying colors. They were surprised to get pizza this good outside of New York. People can argue about pizza types (NY Style, Deep Dish etc) but as far as NY Style Pizza goes, Garlic Knot is the best in class in Denver.
