I was sad to miss an Elite pizza party here last month. So I was glad to get a chance to try it out for lunch last week. The place is very clean, including the all gender restrooms. (See my photo of the cool art in the restroom I used!) Service was friendly and attentive. Mr H. and I shared 3 tenders, which were brought to us piping hot while the pizza was being prepared. I wasn't a fan of the batter until I saw that it was gluten free. Then I was very impressed with the quality. The chicken was moist & fresh and.the Raspberry Sesame Chili sauce unique. Our NY Dough Counter Supreme (requested without green peppers) was hot and loaded. I honestly haven't seen that much meat on a pizza in years, and the Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, and Ground Beef were high quality. The mushrooms were thick and juicy. I appreciate the time they take to prepare their dough. It is so much healthier, as well as delicious. Mr H. enjoyed it, but he said he had expected to be blown away and wasn't. He did promise we would be returning, though, and I look forward to trying the Sicilian. The one at our neighboring table looked so amazing! read more

It says Sicilian but it's definitely Detroit style pizza- that being said, it's DELICIOUS. I love that you can customize the pizzas, too! Don't be fooled by the "Sicilian" style only having four slices, it's enough to split and still feel like you got enough food. It's also pretty pricey, so splitting is the best option. Definitely want to try the NY style if I'm back in the area! read more

Amazing!! I ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza to take home. It's perfect!! I'm actually excited to try it cold in the morning too! read more

Returned to try the New York Style pizza. I ordered online, and it was ready within 10 minutes. However, the pizza I received seemed like it was a leftover that another customer didn't pick up. It didn't taste fresh at all. The cheese was congealed, and the crust was very hard and dry as if it had been sitting under a warmer for a while. Also, there was almost no sauce on the pizza. Pretty disappointing after the first visit, and I don't think I'll be returning any time soon. read more

Dough Counter - Triple threat Sicilian pizza - Pizza Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I can't recommend this place enough. I've been in a few times, and signing up for rewards is the easiest decision I have ever made. I've interacted with quite a few staff members, and Sky, Nick, Makayla, and Elliott are all fantastic. Professional and friendly at the same time. Food is awesome, and the week day lunch special is a steal too. When I have dined in, everything has been clean, and the restaurant is pleasant overall. read more

Ambience is clean but stark. There is some beer and wine available, but the choices are meager. We did somewhat like the thick pizza, but we found that one piece was enough to fill us up. There is a mountain of dough, but not so much in the way of cheese or toppings. The Caesar salad was just OK. We did order some chicken strips and one of them was gristly and way undercooked while the other two were good. service: you order at the counter and pay at the counter before you get the food. This same location was previously a burger place and a Middle Eastern place, both of which failed eventually. My guess is it is just a matter of time until this place suffers the same fate. read more

This place deserves five stars across the board. The employees are all very friendly and knowledgeable. They made sure we had as much space as we needed (we were at a small table and had quite a bit of plates of food between the two of us) and were constantly cleaning the restaurant (cleaning tables once customers left, cleaning out the bin you put your used plates and silverware in, etc). The restaurant is modern and pristine due to the hardworking staff. The food is amazing. Hands-down the best pizza I've ever had, even since having to eat gluten free. I ordered a gluten free cheese pizza and cheese bread, both of which are huge portions (enough to share with one or two people or to have leftovers for another meal). The gluten free pizza is the thickest, fluffiest yet still crispy on the bottom crust, which is rare to find for gluten free pizza anywhere. The sauce is delicious and the ratio of cheese to sauce and crust is perfect. It was so good that I didn't even need to dip it in ranch, which I usually do with pizza (though the ranch is pretty good as it's definitely homemade and very herby compared to most ranches). Overall, I had an amazing experience here and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good, thick crust pizza, gluten free or otherwise. read more

2 words... Brick Cheese! IYKYK. This east coast girl's heart and stomach are incredibly happy. I was wisked back to a genuine taste of east coast pizza. I have searched far and wide in Colorado for Silician Pizza. Sweet mystery at last I've found you!!! I'm taken back by the crasftman ship of this dough. 5 days it rises, your silcian grandmother would be proud. Light, fluffy and completely amazing. Crisp and not greasy. I still need a moment when I think of my first bite. Their variety is right out of your dreams. A chicken parm? Big Mac..and yes it's got lettuce and it's amazing!!! They even have a gluten free which is certified!! I immediately texted a few friends after finding this out. Salads galore and bountiful chicken strips! Already planning a trip back for the green chili cheese bread. read more

Awesome place for pizza and chicken tenders! We first tried out Dough Counter at a yelp event and we knew then that we had to go and try more. Everything is always comes out super hot and super fresh. The chicken the tenders are crispy and juicy and the sauce selection is great. My favorite is definitely their special sauce is almost like a chick fil a sauce, but better! Pizza is hot and cheesy and the service is always spectacular- like really. The staff is amazing. read more

This place was such a great first stop on our Denver trip. Their gluten free options were amazing and they had so many sauces to pair well with the tenders we had during our lunch! My husband loved his NY style pizza and the cheese is INSANE!!! Look at that pull. He loved it and mentioned it couldn't taste more authentic. The dough on the gluten free pizza was great and airy. Reminds me of a great spot in Fremont back in Vegas. Highly recommend this place and a friendly staff, food came out quick! read more

I got a small triple threat sicilian style pizza to go. I love how generous they were with the sauce and liked the marinara the most. I feel like the vodka sauce got a bit lost in the other flavors but was still very tasty. The bread was super fluffy and light and I definitely think the size is worth the price. My only complaint was that it was super salty so I was only able to eat a bit at a time. read more

New pizza place on Colorado blvd. Was looking for a replacement after garlic knot closed. This spot will do the trick. Pizza is a 4 star. Got the NY style with cheese. Sauce had a hint of garlic. Chicken strips are a 5 star. My son is gluten free and they were a big hit. Ceasar salad is a nice size (grab a second dressing) We ordered delivery, which got fulfilled by door dash. Food was a little cold, but that's on the delivery service. Not them. My only upgrade would be the website - you can't order 1/2 toppings on pizzas. Seems like an easy fix. read more

They do a great job of keeping celiacs safe, and the food is great as well... much appreciated!

Get the triple threat Sicilian, get the triple threat Sicilian, get the triple threat Sicilian. This place opening up was borderline fate. For the last few months, I have been seeing posts on social media about pizza with vodka sauce. Now, if you've never had it, it is a very unique and satisfying pizza flavor. I was almost ready to go to NYC for a food trip just because of it. Little did I know all I would have to do was make the trip to Colorado BLVD. Every time I've gone, the pizza has been ready right on schedule. And the staff has been happy and helpful. Special shout out to Brie and Hannah! The interior is warm and inviting. When I dine in there, I'll make sure to get you pictures. The NY-style pizza is excellent as well. Even the salads are packed with flavor. And, of course, it is great cold and reheated. :-) read more

The unique offerings really look good! The location is very nice and the service is said to be great. Cant wait to try!

I came here for a yelp elite event and left here ready to be a regular. I first want to start off with how friendly the family is and the food they make is clearly from their soul filled with love. I got to sample everything and it was all incredible. My favorite was the brick cheese pizza. The depth of flavor in every crust on every slice of pizza was unique and incredible. The marinara was truly the best marina I have ever had and I wish I could just buy bottles of it. 5/5 would come back. Each pizza was better than the next and I left with a full belly and great memories. I'll be bringing my friends and family by soon to visit again. read more

First time!! They are related to Marco's Coal Fired pizza located in downtown Denver and in the Denver Tech Center. They offer two types of pizza, Silician deep pan and New York style thin crust + salads and chicken strips. They offer both alcoholic and soft drinks. There was also a cooler with cake and cannoli. I was intrigued by their version of deep pan pizza since most versions are dense and very chewy. Their's was fluffy and a bit chewy. I got the small (4 slice) Hot Honey Pepperoni with marinara sauce & brick cheese drizzled with hot honey. I added Italian sausage and fresh jalapeños. It was garnished with Ricotta flowerettes on top. A large amount of food for only $19. I ate 2 slices and took the rest home. But before the pizza, I got a tossed Caesar salad for $6.50; I got a large bowl with lots of croutons and grated cheese. I ate the whole thing! I washed it down with a can of Fat Tire Ale from New Belgium Brewing. I also got a slice (turned out to be 2 pieces) of frosted yellow cake for $5 for takeout. You order at the counter, they handed me a table sign and brought the food out in short order. I sat inside. Plenty of seating + 2 outside areas. The south side is enclosed with see through plastic windows that can pulled up and a separate west side for warmer days. I learned that when Dough Counter opened last September, Marco's decided to discontinue their deep pan pizza elsewhere. So you can only get it at Dough Counter. They have a separate rewards program. The charge a 4% fee for kitchen staff. read more

Great gluten free options! We had GF chicken strips, mozzarella sticks, and pizza-- it was all good!

This place is awesome! I have had celiac disease for 18 years and was very excited to try their chicken strips and mozzarella sticks, all in a dedicated fryer and I was not disappointed. They tasted like "real food" not gluten free food. They were delicious! The staff was so nice, answered any questions I had and seemed genuinely happy when I told him how great everything was. My mom had the regular Sicilian pizza and said it was amazing. I win all around. I highly recommend this place. read more

Dough Counter is SO good. Everything I've had was delicious. I need to go back and try the chicken tenders. The owners/staff make it better. Just try this place out. You won't regret it. read more

Delicious chicken strips (forgot to take a picture) and very flavorful BBQ sauce for dipping! We also tried both styles of pizza and NY style is what I would recommend. The Sicilian had just a little too much bread for me but still tasted good. The workers we interacted with were very friendly and pleasant to talk to. We were the only people there, which I was surprised by! We sat outside since it was a nice day. Overall, pretty good experience! Didn't rate it a 5 just bc it is a little pricey (in my opinion) and bc the Sicilian was just a tad more dough than I prefer. Will definitely go back! read more

Highly impressed by the gluten free dough and how thick it is and high it rises. Although, the toppings taste cheap / poor quality. I hate how runny the ranch is, of good flavor though. read more

This place is amazing! I grew up in New York City so I have always been pretentious and picky about good pizza. The NY pizza here is literally exactly what I loved eating in NYC. Every one here is super nice and the service / ambiance is great. It's definitely a hidden gem in this city! I've lived in Denver for 6 years now, and I've only ever found one other place that had pizza just as good as authentic NYC pizza - and that other place permanently closed as a result of COVID. So I'm grateful I finally found another place!!! Would highly recommend this!!! read more

We used to visit regularly and really enjoyed the pizza here, especially the Sicilian style. The last few times the pizzas had very little sauce and cheese, just a lot of crust and grease. Don't make the mistake, like we did, of ordering the mozzarella sticks. They were overcooked and the seasoning was awful. read more

We heard about this place via Westword's 2024 guide to the best pizza in Denver and were delighted to find they delivered pretty far south to us. Amazing food, great customer service. The Sicilian pie made my Detroit born husband super happy, really nice crusty sides and flavorful dough. Less floppy and better overall than Hops and Pie (maybe I had a bad hops and pie day though). The NY style was great, better than Sully's in my opinion, better topping to cheese ratio. Then the green chile cheese bread was basically its own deep dish pizza, probably my favorite savory item. The green chiles are roasted normal ones, not canned, and the jalapeño sauce over it is a great touch. Finally, salad was worth ordering, nice size and good house made dressing, and the bumpy cake was spectacular. It's a Michigan treat we usually have to have shipped over from Sander's, but now we might just stick to Dough Counter's version. Really nice buttercream and fudge frosting and moist cake. Finally, customer service - we ordered delivery and the driver forgot some items. An employee extremely kindly ran them over in a second trip. I'm so happy they did, because we got to try the bumpy cake and I really appreciate the effort (vs just offering a refund). Highly recommended and thank you to the staff for the great meal! read more

I had such a perfect slice of pizza here!! I got one of the specialty slices - the bread is so fluffy and light, and the sauces (had the triple threat) were really flavorful. Also a great portion for the slice, it took up most of the plate and filled me up with just one. read more

The best gluten free pizza place that I've found! It's on the pricier side but worth it for what you get. Anyone looking for truly good gluten free pizza should check it out. The other food options though were really underwhelming. Chicken strips were very small and not great. It was also a 40+ min wait for the food to come out which was frustrating. It seemed like they were really backed up with a lot of delivery orders but it was also the weekend around dinner time. Not sure what the wait time is during other times during the day/week. Overall would go back for the pizza but be prepared for a wait. read more

We are totally hooked! Best pizza ever! We came before a DU hockey game and the salads and pizza were amazing!!!!!!! The restaurant setting and service style is deceiving, since the food is such great quality. So happy to have found this restaurant and will be back!

This is a 5 star review solely based on reviewing their gluten free pizza. Well worth the drive if you don't live in the area and are looking for gluten free options. If I didn't know any better I don't think I'd know that this was gluten free! The marinara sauce was amazing for dipping, tons of flavor. Cute little spot with a few tables for dine in as well! read more

I give this a solid 4 stars, it's good but not what I'd call great pizza. I also wish you could modify their standard pizzas when ordering through their website. I want the Triple Threat with pepperoni on it, and there was no option to do so. That being said, the TT is a delicious pizza, their pesto is amazing! Their Sicilian crust is a tad bit too thick for my taste. The flavors are great, but I shouldn't need to turn into a snake and unhinge my jaw to eat it. The hot honey pep wasn't spicy enough for my taste, I like a little more heat and the dollops of cheese on top are a bit too much. I'll go back and get just a pepperoni. The "NY" crust is also thick for a NY style pizza, but the flavors are delicious. I'll give them another month to work things out before I go back. It's a solidly delicious pizza place that just needs to make a few tweaks to be perfect. read more

Take out was super delayed. They forgot to make our order. Wanted to make up for it with desert - nah. Pizza was super mediocre - my gripe was with the lack of sauce. Lots of better options around. read more

Placed an order for pickup showed up right on time. Was then told my order wasn't ready and to wait another 20 minutes. I asked again if my order was ready and that's when they pull it out from a warming box. I'm not sure if it had been ready the whole time but by the time I got home (10 mins) my fries were completely cold and soggy and my pizza was luke warm at best and also soggy. I get you are busy but why make customers wait 20 minutes when their order is ready. The pizza was decent once I reheated it in my oven read more
