One big slice of cheese pizza...yum!
Richard F.

I had heard a lot of good things about this place. That it could be like NY pizza really had me hooked. I had seen their lunch special of two slices of cheese pizza and a soda for $8 so I decided to stop in and give them a try. Coming from NYC I'm well aware that there are all kinds of pizzas and to each his own. But I'm old enough to remember that pizza shops were everywhere when I was growing up. All I knew was cheese pizza! And I loved it. A light sauce covering a thin crust with cheese over it all. The crust was tasty not burnt or crisp. You enjoyed the whole slice and it was cheap! Nowadays no longer cheap but the lunch special gives you two huge slices plus a can of soda. I ordered takeout and those slices fit into a large pizza box. I did take one photo of one slice in the box. I measured it at some 8 by 11 inches a slice. The taste brought me back to NYC. This is one of the best I've had outside NYC. It's not fancy it's just cheese pizza but it's quite good. No question I'll be back again to try what else they have like eggplant parmigiana sandwich. It's a very small shop as prior photos show it quite nicely. It is cute inside and clean. Well worth a try if you are in the area. When you walk in you'll see the pizzas by the slice. Each pizza on its own pan and they are huge. Not just extra large they are gigantic! Pizza has changed an awful lot in my years on earth but if you want to experience the traditional NY pizza give them a try.

Great pizza spot in Arvada. We got a Medium chicken bacon ranch and Large the works. Both had a crispy, thin crust that still held up all the toppings. The Large is truly large and topped with a generous amount of toppings. Sauce + cheese + toppings were a great balanced ratio. The folks who took my order and the chefs were super friendly and warm. We got the pizza for dinner, but they also offer a good lunch deal: 2 slices + drink for $8, that we'll definitely be back for.

Arvada needed a good NY style pizza place in the area and this place hits the mark! Just down the street from my house I noticed them as new when looking for pizza on Yelp. I went down to take a look as they serve by the slice or a whole pie. The owner was there and was happy to chat with me. He explained their type of pizza and even showed the back room where all the magic happens. Now I don't know my pizza ovens, but he said he brought this one in special. It sure looked special to me! The gentleman running the back wasn't an inexperienced kid, but he appeared to be a seasoned pizza maker. Nice guy! This is their second location and glad they decided on Arvada. I spent $8 dollars for a meat lovers' slice which was HUGE! $8 Lunch Special- Just to clear up confusion it runs from 11am-3pm (I was told) and is only for plain cheese slices. Good enough for me! I will definitely be back for that!

My favorite pizza in Colorado finally available without the trip to Denver. Really nice selection of pizza toppings, salads and grinders. Got the max speciality this visit......a Carnivore's delight. Highly recommend

The pizza dough is awesome again, the pizza is not burnt, and staffing has improved back to the old day feel! Thanks for getting back on track. Thanks to our servers tonight!

Let me start by saying, this is the first time we have been here. Friday night dinner time. Very…read morebusy, but no wait to get in. Olde Town has definitely become a hot spot. The beer selections were awesome, service was friendly and awesome and pizza...! We had the pepperoni and the Pigs & Pears. The pepperoni got great feedback from our party. I personally loved the Pigs & Pears. Everything just went really well together and it was super delicious. From the crust to the cook on it, it is one I would try to replicate at home for sure. This is not the restaurant's fault at all, so the lack of two stars is not for their shortcomings, but for our dining experience. Hear me out. Noise sensitivity is always a consideration for where we go. Bar+Friday Night+Dinner time has potential for being loud anywhere. I get it. But unfortunately, we were surrounded by small loud children that all seemed to compete in the loudest volume competition. I have children and totally understand they do what they do. But for us, a lunch or weeknight dinner may be better because we had to get out. It was so loud that I couldn't have a conversation with the adults at our table. So if you have similar challenges, skip Friday night dinner but definitely go a less busy time! Job well done for the staff and folks behind the line!

I was curious about a specific specialty drink and the barista told her that one is not quite her favorite and steered me towards my go-to, which I massively appreciate. I had a nitro cold brew which helped my headache subside for a brief moment, and enjoyed the interior and the whole space to be honest. This area is nice and I could see working here all the time if I lived around it.

This place is always GREAT!! NAW FANTASTIC Yesterday, I was…read moreexhausted and HUNGRY, but knowing I can only eat a small amount HA!!! Headed up to my FAV - Arvada, Bluegrass Coffee & Bourbon Lounge, There were a plenty of Halloween children walking down the street, dress in their Halloween costumes, and at the Bluegrass, all was decorate and BUSY. Many on their computers/free wifi!!! It rocks. And the food, teas, drinks at the bar or tables or "get to meet others tables", all bustling, with families and Halloween children with their "filling up pumpkins" treats everywhere in Bluegrass, on the streets, businesses offering treats. I sat in the corner with my Aspen Pretty Eyes, with only ONE ITEM MY STOMACH WAS CRAVING, Pesto - Artichoke - scatter GREENS Pizza and English Hot Tea. And get some work done searching information regarding Pre-fab Homes. Learned a great deal, I could save $$$$ And my pizza arrived, I do not know who was more hungry, Aspen or myself. Normally even a small pizza is Huge for me, but we gobbled that Pesto Pizza down so fast, I thought I might wish to order another!! Naw, let it settle and wind our way through the clamor of children petitioning; "Trick or Treat!" I LOVE Bluegrass, and there are two locations. Arvada is special with it's small artful historical feel, with parks and friendly people, pooches and plenty of parking a block n 1/2 away. Writing this, I WANT TO GO BACK AND HAVE MY FAVORITE PESTO PIZZA!!! Do enjoy this place, open 7 days weekly, also it does have a back patio and front patio, GREAT food; place is family, bar, wifi working and friendly banter!! Aspen made it to their headline photos!! Their second restaurant is super Dog friendly!! Enjoy

FRI-YAY FIELD REPORT:…read more Alright you beautiful chaos goblins, it's Friday night and I found myself back at Randi's. You know the place, strip mall chic, nothing fancy, the kind of spot where you show up in whatever you wore to Target and nobody blinks. I've been here before, and honestly the experience has always been a bit of a roulette wheel: sometimes great, sometimes just ....meh. Tonight? Buckle up First, the service. I'm not asking for Broadway jazz hands and a standing ovation when I walk in, but a hint of pleasantness would be nice. My server looked like smiling might actually cause structural damage to her face. Honey, that scowl was so deep it came with its own zip code. Those cause wrinkles, sweetie. Just saying. While I waited (and waited... and waited...) I was treated to a lovely soundtrack of staff conversations about doom, gloom, and existential dread. Babe... I'm just trying to order carbs, not prepare for the apocalypse It was not exactly the light Friday night vibe I was going for while trying to order a drink. BTW It took a solid stretch of time just to get that drink and put in an order. I kept checking my watch like I was waiting for a delayed flight. Eventually, we got the drink and the order placed. The food shows up and let's give the kitchen the applause it deserves because the food crew clearly came to work tonight. Actually good. Not "call the Vatican we've witnessed a miracle" good, but solid. The antipasto salad was fresh and yes they included peppers, which I appreciate because some places act like peppers are a controlled substance. And the calzone? The bread was homemade. And listen... when you bite into bread that clearly came from a real human effort and not a Sysco freezer tomb, you notice. It was warm, chewy, and legitimately good. So now I'm emotionally conflicted. The kitchen is back there doing honest Italian-food work while the front of house is acting like they're being forced to serve pasta at emotional gunpoint. The Breakdown: Calzone bread: Homemade, heroic, deserves a medal Antipasto: Fresh, crunchy, pepper-inclusive (we love representation) Food overall: Solidly good Service: If enthusiasm were calories this would be a diet plate Randi's, my chaotic carb dealer, I will probably return because that bread had my attention. But next time maybe let the staff know it's okay to experience joy.

Mom and pop vibe and pizza was great. We got the cheesy garlic bread which was yummy. I was…read moreskeptical to get more cheese on bread since we were ordering a pizza but the group was ready to devour anything. It definitely did not disappoint. House wine Chianti comes in different sizes. Price is great - but the quality is that next day head ache quality. We didn't end up finishing our wine since the price was so good anyways. Service was mostly fine, but it is younger kids working and they are quick to come by and leave. Catch them when you can and they will deliver! It's located in a strip mall so parking is interesting with the nearby King Soopers. Family friendly in the fact they had high chairs, but no changing tables in the bathroom.
