Nice boxes!
Deborah M.

Wow, this was our first time here and we really enjoyed our meal. Service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was casual and comfy, Now, the food- the 3 of us shared the Cesar salad which was just the right amount and a deal at $6.50! I ordered the gluten free Sicilian with sausage and peppers and the kiddo has a new York style cheese. Everything was flavorful and we thought was affordable as well! Will be back!

Caesar salad.

Pretty humble and unassuming Pizza joint that serve up some pleasant twists to the classic dishes. Everything familiar is trendy here. For example, the salads (we tried both the Mandarin chicken salad and Caesar salad) the salad bowl sizes were perfect and came with tongs for serving, I thought that was neat! The Loaded potatoes pizza is a must try. I don't quite recall anybody else offering such a combination. If you didn't believe starchy roots can taste good on a gluten pie, think again and try it! The Margarita NY style pizza was ordered to accommodate a friend who's vegetarian. I ended up trying a little bite and it was good too. I wouldn't mind stopping over and try everything from the menu. This place stroke a high chord with me!

Triple threat GF Sicilian
Rachel S.

found this place through social media and so glad we did. They have GLUTEN FREE chicken tenders!!! So so yum. Crunchy outside, moist chicken and a balanced honey mustard. Also had the triple threat GF Sicilian pizza crust and the 3 sauces were delicious. The crust is very crunchy on the bottom but still a treat for deep dish. There's another GF deep dish (Detroit style) place in Denver that I would prefer crust-wise... So summary: come for the pizza, STAY for the chicken tendies.

Pizza. GF deep dish.

Amazing GF pizza and fried chicken. Pizza had such a great chew/crunch for GF. The fries were even amazing. Perfectly crunchy and crispy and seasoned well. Service was fast. Nice atmosphere and Coke Zero is always a plus. The GF dessert was very nice as well.

Love dough counter. Awesome NY and Sicilian style za by the slice or whole. Incredible dough. Would definitely put it amongst the top pizza spots in denver. Staff are super nice and the restaurant space is cool. They did a great job with the shop. Bug fan of the hot honey pep and the triple threat. Haven't had the big mac or chicken parm but they are next on the wish list. Highly recommend a stop by for some great pizza in Denver away from the madness of downtown.

6 piece chicken tenders + 10 piece mozz sticks. Burger sauce and mozzarella on the side.

I would genuinely not call this pizza. This was a gluten free focaccia that had tomato and cheese sneezed on the top. A fists worth of mediocre, overcooked bread, covered with a thumb and a pinkies worth of sauce and cheese. Mozzarella sticks were mediocre, at best. I won't knock them points because I did not eat them fresh out of the fryer. Marinara was sweet, but decent. Chicken tenders were ultimately the superior item. Reminiscent of a Cane's tender in all the right ways and the wrong ways. Burger sauce was exquisite. Seriously disappointed in the experience for the cost. Was really rooting for you, Dough Counter, but I'd be better off making a frozen pizza at home. Celiacs and gluten free customers be warned, it's not worth it.

I love this pizza! I'm always searching for great Sicilian style like I grew up on. Now this isn't the pizza from my childhood - it's even better. They not only have Sicilian, they have NY style too, so everyone is happy. Pizza isn't the only thing served here they have - Chicken Strips, Fries, Starters, Salads & even a display case of Desserts. Dough Counter is located in the University Hills Plaza, with plenty of parking. The inside is cute, with a checkerboard floor, booths, tables & pendant lighting. And... stacks & stacks of pizza boxes, that actually add to the ambiance & decor, as well as background music & a big screen TV. There is also outdoor seating & a separate party room. We arrived on a late Sunday afternoon & was surprised to see many of the tables filled as well as the party room. A friendly employee took our order at the counter & gave us a number to place on the table, they bring the food to you. Other than that everything is self service - plates, silverware, fountain drinks/water & seasonings/condiments. The pizzas were wood fired, with deliciously crispy & crunchy crusts. I really enjoyed that there wasn't a ton of sauce too. The NY style came with tomato sauce & mozzarella cheese. This was good but the Sicilian was the star...absolutely wonderful! It's a light pan pizza (5-day rise dough), with spicy cupped pepperoni, nicely balanced with brick cheese & a dollop of ricotta cheese plus a hot honey drizzle on top. Memorable, crave-able & delectable!

Chicken tenders, hot honey pepperoni pizza, triple threat, and green chili cheese bread

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW holy crust! I haven't had Sicilian pizza since my diagnosis, and this did not disappoint. We got the hot honey pepperoni and the triple threat - both very good!! We also had to try the green chili cheese bread and chicken strips, delicious. The sauces were also yummy:) we got the house buttermilk ranch, strippers' special sauce, and tangy BBQ. The restaurant has EXTENSIVE practices put in place to take care of allergies (they have a whole portion of their website online to talk about GF. The staff were very kind and I did not get sick.

This place was amazing! If you are needing gluten free options this is the place for incredible pizza! You will be surprised with their thick, crispy gluten free dough! Literally obsessed with this place!

Marco's really delivers and almost has me feeling like I'm back in Naples - almost. The quality of ingredients is excellent and the pizzas are extremely well made. My personal favorites are: - MARGHERITA BUFALA MOZZARELLA (anytime there's an option for Bufala Mozz DO IT!) - WILLIAMSBURG (the pesto with honey drizzle perfectly offsets the pepperoni - a pie I could eat every day) The Calabrian wings with focaccia are also delicious. Great happy hour and right in the heart of downtown. Service is solid and it's a nice casual, clean atmosphere. Just good food at somewhat reasonable prices.

The wait staff are always so kind, service is always super quick (even when busy), and the authentic Italian vibe is always there. Marco's is known for being the first VPN pizzeria in the state of Colorado. Having eaten pizza all around Italy, I can confirm this makes me feel like I am right back there. The pizza is phenomenal (I highly recommend the bufala margherita pizza), the drinks are delicious, and you can't go wrong with any of the appetizers. Every ingredient tastes super fresh and feels very authentic. This is definitely a spot that I will continue going back to and bringing all my out of town friends to. I cannot recommend it enough.

This is a very odd building in an odd location that has been the death of many restaurants over the…read moreyears. 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.

Would love to try their pizza again in the future. Will definitely be on our list for our next Denver trip.

For food, their garlic bread was a little charred, but flavorful. The Salsiccia pizza was amazing! Most of the pizzas, thin crust, but then there's some fluff on the edges, unfortunately, I don't have a photo to share, but hopefully you get what I mean. I think the crust could've been a little sturdier for the toppings, but it still tasted amazing. My friend got pasta and loved it, so I don't think you can go wrong here! Lastly, the pollo piccata was great, the chicken was so flavorful and it was the best lemony dish! Can't wait to go back.

Very average. The decor is cool, the place is pretty loud…read morebut lively. We ordered garlic bread, a custom pizza with sausage , ravioli with lamb and pasta with arugula pesto and asparagus all to share. The ravioli came first. It was pretty bland even for my 7 yr old. Lamb was slightly dry and bland. The pizza was average, ok. The other pasta never arrived. We waited over 30 min after we had finished dishes before we just had to cancel the order. They said they only have 10 pans for pasta and they had 41 orders...at that point we just wanted to leave plus the lightest pasta was going to be served last. On top of that, the waiter while I was talking took my drink that was 40% full and I was saving it to go with my meal as I wasn't going to order a second cocktail. That was annoying and felt deliberate to try to get us to order more drinks while we waited.

Gluten free? They've got that too. Old parking lot is now an expanded patio so that's chill. A nice area for the kids to run around too. Inside is where it's at either at the bar or in the two section of the restaurant. If you get a window seat you can people watch on Tennyson AND be a part of the taproom action! It's called ambiance sweety. Nifty. Honestly the staff is great. Special shout out for Chase and Lauren. Lots of personality and friendly. Good service and the food is quick. Drinks are always quick but sometimes during really busy times food takes a second. GOOD. Please make my pizza with love and affection. Lot of locals here and people from all around town stopping in who know what's good. A gem of north Denver for sure. Hands down. A little something for everyone. Always suggesting this to visiting friends and a weekly staple for me personally. Now open on Mondays! Daily deals. A slice of the day. Pie of the month. Sandwich of the week.

The inside of the restaurant had a mid-century modern feel that reminded me of my childhood home. After sitting down and reviewing the menu, my friends decided on the frozen rosé, while I stuck with a Coke since I was driving. The soda hit the spot, but my friends found the frozen rosé a bit bitter and weren't fans. For starters, we highly recommend the garlic bread and pepperoni rolls. The sauces served with them tasted fresh and were packed with flavor. After appetizers, we ordered three pizzas and a Caesar salad. The restaurant got busier after we sat down, and our food took a little over 30 minutes to arrive. When the pizzas finally came out, they were absolutely worth the wait. They were visually appealing, and we couldn't wait to dive in. I ordered the veggie pizza, and it was so good. Our friends got the White Tiger pizza and added prosciutto, while my husband ordered the mushroom pizza with added sausage. It took us a few years to finally try Joy, but I can confidently say they make an awesome pizza in a relaxed, chill atmosphere.

We both got a pizzette and a salad and everything was incredible! My friend ordered a gluten free sausage and jalepeno and enjoyed it. I got the side salad with house vinegrette and the prosciutto, burrata, and arugula- it was absolutely amazing. My mouth is watering thinking about how tasty it was. I especially enjoyed the sourdough crust. We will definitely be back for more!
