    I've had better pizza, we ordered takeout but the flavors were just alright. The Detroit style pizza is super heavy, you really only need one slice. We didn't dine in so can't say much about the service or atmosphere.

    Pizza lover!! Oh she was thick'ems lol. We just got a large Detroit style pepp and sausage. Must try if you haven't already. we enjoyed this and my daughter said it was really good. Only down fall was the wait time. We waited for about 1 hour and 45 mins. Very small joint. And it was busy so understandable and we didn't have anything else and mind and killed time across the street at the ice cream shop.

    Okay, first off I have to say that this place came highly recommended to my husband and I from several people and I have no idea why we waited so long to go. It definitely lived up to the hype. To the full extent. We arrived and knew there would be a wait. We didn't have a reservation and it was a busy Friday night. No problem. We put in our name and went across to the street for a drink while we waited for the table to open up. We were in no rush so this worked out well. Once out table was available I got a text and we showed up within 5 minutes. Seated immediately by the nice hostess. Also immediately our server, Alex, arrived at our table, handed up menus and said he would be with us in just a moment. We glanced over the menus and kind of had an idea what we wanted but weren't dead set on it. Alex came back over and asked if we had been in before, which we hadn't. So then he was psyched to give us the rundown on the menu, the pizzas, his suggestions, what is popular, etc. I loved it. I felt so confident in him that I left him to pick my beer choice based on what we ordered to eat. He did a great job. We ended up ordering the eggplant fries. They come served with a garlic aioli and their house marinara. That marinara was AMAZING. Then we got the Little Rose Detroit style pizza but we added green chiles to give it a little kick. It was great. Nice heat between the green chiles and Mike's hot honey. It was delicious!!!! I never eat the crust of pizza but this one, wasn't really crust. It was cheese. And ohhh so delicious cheese it was. At the end he suggested some cannolis, even to go in case we couldn't eat them then but the thought of more food sounded overwhelming. I was so full. Overall, fantastic meal. Great service! Really cool vibe to the place. Can't wait to come back.

    The food is good here but we've had better and for $75 after tip, it's worth 3 stars. We got a small Greek salad which was ok, def had better. Wouldn't get that again. We got Brooklyn bridge pizza, which was good but have had better. Our favorite item was the eggplant fries. We've never had those anywhere and they were really good with the red sauce. The service was also ok. I was annoyed that mid way through our meal all the other servers were doing a spiel of how the menu is and you can order half and half. Our blonde server who has wifi issues at her apartment didn't tell us a damn thing. We would've ordered half and half. So no, we dont feel the prices are worth it to eat here.

    4.5! This was our favorite place we ate at during a recent trip to Denver. I love that they can do half-and-half for their pizzas. A small (8 pieces) is definitely enough for 2 people! I also appreciated that their menu had explanations of the different types and their top sellers. Mmm that crust! I did want to sub pepperoni and prosciutto for chicken since my partner doesn't eat pork, and was surprised that it wasn't a free substitution since it's both meat.

    Love Detroit style pizza. It's just funny how I love it everywhere outside of Detroit. I had an awesome experience in Nashville. And now, Denver. Yes, you read that right. the mile high city in Colorado. As usual, starting it off with parking. Easy enough. There's street parking and a lot - pulled right in. This was on a weeknight - don't know what it's like on the weekends. The service was excellent. Attentive. Friendly. Efficient. Helpful - just a sunny disposition. Don't remember her name as this was last month - but she and her team, took care of business. Then there was the food. See pics. Started with a salad that was more than enough for two people. Fresh ingredients and enough dressing so that there was enough from top to bottom. The pizza was awesome. The dough prepared well - not over or underdone. Loved how airy it was - pillow like. Yet a little crispy bite. Toppings and sauce evenly spread out so there was something in every bite. Everyone has a different palate and there's a bunch of different combinations to choose from - and I'm pretty sure you can just make your own. Guess you just have to like the dough - which I loved. Enough that I'd definitely go back and try other pies.

    Blue pan pizza food truck came to my apartment complex and I just tried the regular cheese bread with marinara sauce. I was a little bit skeptical, but it was beyond amazing. The food took around 30 minutes to make however it was so worth it because that cheesy bread was delicious. I would happily order it again.

    When Blue Pan first opened, the hype was too much for me. We waited a few months and braved a long queue. It was tasty and of good quality, but didn't really ring my bell. Fast forward to 2025. It'd been years. Our group of four hit up Blue Pan before a show. You can split a large Detroit-style pie into two half-specialty pizzas and that was the way. Between Brooklyn Bridge, Johnny Primo, Mountain Top, and Parma Italia, everyone was as full as happy when we waddled out with our leftovers. We decided to hit up Blue Pan last Sunday, early afternoon. No line. Yes. We were asked to sit at the airy table abutting the door/host stand, and asked if we could wait for one of the the two dirty ones on the back wall to be cleaned. No rush. That didn't go over well, but everyone else was super nice. Once again, I chided myself for not coming here more often. Our basic Detroit style featured delicious sauce, crispy cheesy edges, and a crust that beats a lot of the Detroit style in town. I'd heard that Blue Pan's tavern style pizzas were among the best around Denver, as well. Like Grabowski's at the Source (RIP) good. Gotta say, while it was good, it wasn't memorable. I regretted my choice a little in comparison to our other pizza. The crust wasn't too crispy but a little thick. Same great sauce and the cupping pepperoni was on point. Blue Pan has always offered a stellar beer list with choices that stand out beyond the generic macro-micro. I enjoyed a Trillium Congress Street IPA, some of Massachusetts's and the country's finest. Its Bizarro world New England counterpart, Narragansett Lager, is also available on draft. Buzzkill: I appreciate the kitchen staff, but it's not my job to pay them. Boo added fee. Four stars.

    **June 2025: Wednesday Evening Visit** When I was initially researching restaurants for my 8 state road trip I knew that I had to kick it off strong. Blue Pan Pizza was highly regarded in my research as it's won many awards locally and internationally so I made it a point to include it on my list. My friend and I had just landed an hour earlier so we were famished. Thankfully when we arrived we were able to find a parking spot pretty easily and were seated within 5 minutes (despite the restaurant being very busy for a Wednesday night). The space is very homey and I can see it being a frequented local spot. The menu was kind of overwhelming as they have four different styles of pizza. Nevertheless, we decided to share a Small Square (4 pieces) of the Brooklyn Bridge and I think a large Magnolia Salad (with goat cheese substitution for feta), which was more than enough to fill both of us. Wow! This was one of my favorite meals on my recent summer roadtrips! The riccota cheese was fluffy and creamy, the pie itself was doughy, but pillowy and crispy at the same time. All the ingredients worked wel together and the salad was a great way to include some veggies in this meal. Overall, I had a fantastic time and I definitely want to come back to Denver to try other pies here. It's a winner in my book!

    Blue pan pizza was my favorite meal during a recent trip to Colorado! The food is fantastic, despite how it looks like crust is really airy with a nice crunch. We had the Brooklyn bridge which was nice and meaty topped with a creamy ricotta. The service is amazing and they're very willing to walk you through the menu and their popular items. The overall decor feels really homey, like you're sitting down to eat at a family members home. This is a must visit if you're ever in Denver!

    Ah, Blue Pan took my Detroit style virginity with their GLUTEN FREE crust. This was such a treat! Gluten free dough/bread/pizza is so tricky and this crust was to die for. Thick enough to hold all the toppings, yet not dense, with crunchy edges! Slightly disappointed because they no longer have the GF breadsticks (but can make the "good dog" GF). Props for labeling as GF too! Server was kind and the place was hopping (busy!!!).

    Jennifer P.

    Tried Blue Pan Pizza for the first time and wow, Detroit-style pizza is amazing! The crust is thick but still super light and fluffy. I ordered the Brooklyn Bridge because it's one of their most recommended pies, and it did not disappoint. Absolutely a must-try if you're in Denver. I'll definitely be back!

    Sweetie Pie
    Daniel M.

    This review will affect Italians, Italian Americans. I love pineapple on pizza! The Sweetie Pie is heaven in a pizza box. Detroit style is also so underrated, I love how each slice is so heavy and packed with flavor. If you like sweet and spicy, this is your pie. Been going here since before the pandemic and they never disappoint! Mouth is watering as I write this. Love this local spot, they've been a staple for Congress Park.

    Detroit, half and half. Delicious!

    Ask the Community - Blue Pan Pizza

    Is there a parking lot?

    Not that I noticed; just street parking

    How can I make a reservation/ can I make one?

    I don't think they do. But you could call and ask. If it's a special occasion, they may be willing to work with you. Otherwise, go early or be prepared to wait.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    No. Just waiting outside for the table.

    Do they deliver? If so Doordash? Grubhub?
