    Cute little bar with weekday happy hour. Got there at 4:30 and was seated right away. By 5:30, it was definitely busy. Tables are pretty close together. Love the outdoor patio seating with misters on hot days! The food was pretty good, albeit on the pricey side. The oysters were delicious, and they had some sort of promo going on that the server sold me on that required downloading the Blackbird app. There was some confusion though because then they forgot to take off the oysters that should have been free, and that was kind of annoying considering all the additional effort from downloading and setting up and paying with the app. As a gym girlie, I will say this place is very carb heavy. Few hard hitting protein options.

    Sorta self service. Interesting concept but not enough servers. Good pizzas, quirky environment, good location. A little pricey for what you get. Not sure about a repeater for us.

    Clam pizza, pancetta, garlic and panna. Must have!

    Unbelievably cool artisimal flare in this small pizza joint named Cart Driver on Larimer. I really had to hunt to find this place as it was not on the regular food sites. Cart Driver should be your first choice for incredible pizza in Denver. Located in a small space that looks like a converted storage unit, Cart Driver only seats about 30 people. Our perch was up front looking into the compact but efficient wood fired pizza oven and kitchen. For a Saturday afternoon, the place was hopping. They have appetizers, oysters, boards, salads and pizzas. We started with the chicken mousse, toasted rosemary focaccia, apricot spread and mostarda. The mousse was flavorful, smooth, great taste and incredibly rich. Some of the best focaccia I've ever had. Our pizza selection was the little neck clam with pancetta, roasted garlic, panna and a grilled lemon wedge. The dough was fluffy, light, savory, perfect char and a hint of salt. Both dishes were unbelievable, a bit higher price point but well worth it. Cart Driver on Larimer was a huge impressive surprise. The food combinations were unique, tasty and a definite must return to try other dishes. The vibe here is chill and unassuming. This small "gem" won't stay below the radar for long. Treat yourself for a quality meal and great atmosphere at Cart Driver, you won't regret it. Amazing Meal.

    What a gem! My husband and I stayed at the Ramble and this was right across the street and we are so happy to have stumbled on this spot! The Pizza is absolutely decadent! Perfectly cooked, amazing ingredients, fabulous crust....and I really mean that, I don't eat crust but this crust was worth eating and I did! We ordered the hot chicken pizza which was quite a surprise, just a menagerie of flavors that were epically paired to create a unique combo that I've been thinking of ever since!!!!! Spicy chicken, pickles, some sort of magical sauce...yum city! We also ordered the peppers pizza which is basically their version of pepperoni but with fresh garlic and Calabrian chili...it was also terrific! Lastly we ordered a customized pie with lots of meats and some other extras and it was loaded with flavors and it was also a hit. My husband ordered an N/A beer and I had house water which is served freezing cold which I certainly appreciate. Seating is rather limited, the space is however clean and the staff is very kind. We even got a visit from one of the crew shortly after the food came out to check on how we liked everything. Overall, a wonderful and expedient service and the food was absolutely delicious! If I lived closer I would certainly be a regular!

    Was looking for a quick bite ahead of our Death & Co rez, so stopped in here! Super solid - we had the: *Peachza with added prosciutto - this one is a seasonal one. The texture was perfect and I think that's a tough feat when you have stonefruit on a pizza. You have to consider the liquid it adds and how to cut it so you have the right balance. Anyways, Cart Driver knocked it out the park with this one! *Cart Driver (sausage, kale, mozzarella, chili flake) - seeing that it's their namesake pizza..we kinda had to order it! Pleasantly surprised that the kale was nice and crispy and not soggy (win!) The flavors were really good. The wood-fired Neapolitan-style crust was so so good! Also I keep thinking about the hot sauce! Apparently they switch it up and also bottle and sell it. We sat outside on the patio! There is some indoor seating too. Anyways, a solid stop in RiNo! They also have a location in LoHi.

    Yummy pizzas

    Came here after a drink at Death & Co (across the street) and while Cart-Driver is not near my home, I always wish it was closer. The pizza is simple, good quality ingredients cooked just perfectly. They use the cupping pepperoni and high quality cheeses and toppings. We got a pepperoni and sausage and greens pizza. Both great, and also they do have a good selection of beers and drinks too. You pay a higher price here, especially for a friendly however very casual atmosphere (order at counter, get number for table), but it is definitely worth it.

    This an interesting little place. If you're looking for traditional pizzas then this isn't for you. They have unique pies that all sounded good except for the peach one. Because eff peaches. Gross. They use a sour dough crust which was unique and really good. We got the most traditional pizza they had which was more or less a pepperoni. Unwanted the clam pizza but just wasn't in the cards for us. It's quaint. Okay it's pretty small. They do have a seating area outside that was nice and a little patio out front. Good pizza, less than traditional menu, maybe would come back if I was near there.

    Margarita pizza
    Krista H.

    I e never had pizzas come out so close to being made. So fresh and hot! The ingredients were delicious and high quality. Our favorite was the margarita and will definitely get it again. Loved their outdoor seating on a beautiful spring day!

    Daisy Pizza

    Daisy Pizza (5/5): Very simple margherita pizza. The sauce was good and there was just the right amount of it. It could've used a little more cheese but it was nicely melted. The crust was almost like a fluffy, chewy naan and I really enjoyed it. (This was also half-price for their late night happy hour deal). Cart Driver Pizza (4/5): The sausage and kale were good toppings, but not having any sauce was a bummer. Clam Pizza (4/4): I always like trying a clam pizza because it's a good change of pace. This one had pancetta too which was great except it overpowered the clams a little though. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    Peppers pizza, Genesee beer, and habanero sauce
    veronica r.

    The peppers pizza was phenomenal. The crust was pretty tasty too. I added the house made habanero for extra spice. The service was awesome and welcoming. The ambiance had a good vibe. The garden behind the restaurant was the perfect spot to eat pizza and have a beer on a sunny day.

    Amazing pizza and great seasonal sauces to add on your pizzas. One of the best pizza crusts in Denver and wonderful tomato sauce.

    Peppers
    Sammy T.

    Ordered the Peppers, Daisy, and the Cart Driver pizzas and wow, they came out looking almost too pretty to eat. Three pizzas were the perfect amount to feed our group of four. The pizzas are thin and crispy that makes every bite feel light but satisfying. Service was super friendly--our server had such a happy vibe, which made the meal even better. We sat inside, but the patio looked like a great option too if you want fresh air. Street parking was easy to find on a Monday night. Favorite pick? The Daisy. Simple but so, so good!! I love cheese!

    Clam pizza
    Anthony C.

    I came here on a Friday to eat dinner solo. I ordered the clam pizza, the chopped salad and an na beer. The total for my dinner with tip was sixty bucks. For what it was, I thought this price was high. The wood fired pizza and salad were crafted fantastically and everything tasted wonderful. I just think that 60 bucks for a small 12" 6 slice pie and a salad is just too much in my opinion. Service was fast, efficient and friendly.

They looked at my receipt multiple times, which made it feel like they didn't quite believe me, and I ended up waiting an additional 15 minutes while they sorted it out. I was also told that next time my company should call instead of ordering online, which was confusing since they offer an online preorder option in the first place. That said, the pizza itself was really good. The crust was thick, salty, and a bit oily in that satisfying way, and the ingredients tasted fresh. One thing to note is the portion size, don't underestimate it. Even a small Detroit-style pizza is dense and can easily feed 2-4 people. Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars because the food was great, but the online ordering experience could definitely use some improvement.

Actually, this spot is centrally located, on the edge of Uptown and Five Points, right between City Park and the Central Business District. There's also a nice parking lot. I ordered the Supreme with tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and kalamata olives. I found it very average. I collected it promptly at the time specified, but the crust was very soggy and too droopy to pick up a slice. The toppings were OK, but nothing special. The amount of tomato sauce was a little light for my taste and it was very bland. The same with the cheese. I had heard good things about this place, but there is far superior pizza to be had in Denver these days. I was not impressed. The area is not well-lighted and it's kind of creepy at night. So is the building. The staff was friendly and they did bring me my takeout box promptly.

We ordered the garlic bread and salad to share and I got the Cacio e Pepe full size. I didn't eat the salad but my friends really liked it! The garlic bread was AMAZING! Definitely the talk of the night! It's only three slices and it was a little pricy but seemed worth it. The full-size Cacio e Pepe was creamy and delicious! I didn't finish it all intentionally because I wanted to take the rest for lunch tomorrow. I would definitely suggest this one to anyone! At the bottom of the menu, it does say that a 20% service fee is added onto everyone's bill and that this is not a tip. I think it's important to point this out because some people might misinterpret it so definitely take that as you will. Overall, the food was amazing, it was a little pricey, but worth it for a friend's birthday.

What makes this place so popular? Could it be the Avery Brewing tasting flight? Rumpkin beer. Could it be the slice of the day: Cheeseburger? Could it be the excellent bartender service? Could it be the perfect bar atmosphere? Well, I won't tell. You need to visit for yourself. 05OCT2011 This time, we ate there. Excellent pizza.
