    So many pizzas so little time!
    Sasha B.

    A special occasion brought my colleagues and I to this spot for lunch (a going away/birthday). I called the day before and made a reservation for seven. It's located in the up and coming area of Gunbarrel, just north of the King Soopers complex. While I typically find it challenging to find parking, lunchtime awarded us with our choice of nearby spots. Upon arrival Callie greeted us warmly and brought us to just the right sized and shaped table. She made great recommendations about how many pies and salads to order. We ordered quite a bit of food and were super impressed that she not only memorized our entire order but that she was so helpful and friendly (she for serious refilled my diet coke 3+ times during the lunch). We started with the salads. A Caesar (with the anchovies on the side) as well as a Capri salad (sliced ham, hearts of palm, and corn). Both salads were fresh, crunchy, and delicious. The Caesar dressing was especially creamy and flavorful (I couldn't help but enjoy some on my pizza crust). The pizzas came out fast and hot. The pizza stands were especially helpful in ensuring we had enough room for all of our plates and drinks. We went for the special (feta, mozzarella, pesto, tomatoes, and basil - crowd favorite), a pepperoni and pesto, the last pizza being an Atomica pie (Italian sausage, black olives, garlic, oregano, etc.). This was my best Proto's experience so far (I've been to one other location). I'll definitely be back to check out their happy hour ($3 large panini, $10 beer & pizza, $5 cocktail of the day, and more).

    Pretty disappointing for an almost 20$ pizza :/ Barely any sauce and was supposed to have garlic, oregano, and red peppers which you can't even tell are there. Unfortunately will not be returning.

    House salad

    Had takeout dinner here tonight. Service was quick and friendly. Ordered a house salad with the traffic jam pizza which included all kinds of veggies with sausage. The pizza was excellent. Crust was delicious with good dough and you can tell all the toppings were fresh. I've had plenty of pizza in New York and this on par with the neopolitan style pizza I've had out there. This is a must if you're looking for pizza in Gunbarrel. On a side note the bar looks like a fun place to hang out for a drink.

    Their pizza is just like the pizza I ate in Rome. Very good and authentic. It's a thin crispy crust that I love.

    Same solid service and product as the one in North Boulder. If you're in the (still sleepy) area, a worthy choice.

    Such a fun place with terrific food and service. I really like all of Avanti but you can count on…read morethe food , the view and the all around good time on the top floor to be a great experience. We have a favorite pizza order, a salad and dessert we almost always face. It's gotten to almost be joke status when I walk in. They know my order , it's so perfect I dare not change. There are so many toppings I cannot have, I always go with the basic B and a Caesar salad. The basic B is for basil, an herb I adore. So this is really a simple but tasty Margherita with classic char on the crust. If there is no char, it's not NY pizza. The salad balances it perfectly. My husband always gets the Telluride Redfish amber ale. Not easy to find in Boulder. Tonight I had the Stem Cider Off Dry because they did not have the Hibiscus or the Chile Guava in stock. But Stem is local and my favorite brand and Off Dry the most common at bars. After such a nice meal on almost a holiday. We topped it off with a house made cannoli. Prepped fresh at service time so it won't get soggy. We can come here every few weeks , no matter the weather and enjoy it every time. The view is great and there are always people out on the deck getting pictures with the Flatirons backdrop. So glad they built to maximize the view.

    Cool spot with rooftop! Wonderful pizza! Service was great and they guys were really cool.read more

We went with the Lottie's Salsiccia, which had sausage, vodka sauce, and sweet and sour peppers. It had an interesting mix of sweet and savory flavors. Our waitress also recommended us the Trapanese, which was super creamy as it had pesto sauce and burrata cheese chunks on top. We added anchovies to half of the pizza and that definitely added some saltiness to it. For drinks we had the aperol spritz and frose, which were refreshing. They have indoor and outdoor seats, though outdoor is limited so you may have to wait. The flavors of the pizza really came through well, but the crust was a bit too thick for my liking. Service was fast though and super friendly! It's right on Pearl Street too so you can check it out as you're shopping!

One with more attention to detail, fluffy crust, more 'Italian' style, more homey. This is the place if you're craving that more authentic Italian style experience! They've got actual margarita pizza (that's not just a cheese pizza with tomato slices thrown on it like other places..) and really unique style pizzas if you're feeling adventurous. We had one unique pizza that had sausage, honey, and pistachios. I usually dislike sweet and salty and my partner hates nuts, but they did this pizza so well it was one of the best pizzas we tried there. I believe they mix up their menus cause when I tried looking it up online for the exact name of the pizza I couldn't find the pizza. But I'll post a picture of the pizza. They also have a great appetizers and the slice their prosciutto to order. What I love about this place is you can sit at the pizza bar and watch pizzas being made and meat being sliced and arranged beautifully. I loved their limoncello drinks which is perfect for spring/summer day out on their patio. The servers are kind and hard working. This definitely is one of my favorite places to hang, date night, girls night, business dinner, etc.

After leaving an event nearby, it was time for me to get acquainted with Pizza Colore! Slice shops are a dime a dozen nowadays. This place has a long counter with pizzas by the slice for your eyes to wonder upon. Very few seats near the front window and outside, but I believe there was more seating towards the back of the restaurant. I ordered an "East Coast" slice (their version of a supreme) and a cheese slice. After a few minutes, my order was ready. I loaded them up with grated cheese, red pepper flakes, and oregano. These were served piping hot, as any respectable slice shop should do. These slices were good! Practically no flop other than the first bite, crust was crispy and bready, and I felt like the toppings/cheese and sauce were balanced well. My main qualm was that it was missing salt in the dough and sauce. If it was seasoned throughout this would've been a great slice! However, the spicy ranch for dipping was clutch! Service was quick and friendly. Many people were popping in for a quick bite. I loved standing outside in the moderately cold weather scarfing down my hot slices, while watching the Saturday night crowd cruise by on Pearl Street. As close to an east coast experience as you can get in Colorado! I came in with little to low expectations, and left full and satisfied. Glad I finally gave them a shot. Prices were right and the product was respectable!

It's clean and efficient inside.

With most 8 square pizzas starting around $15-20, and each additional topping starting at $2.99 (for this size), we were a bit shocked at the prices. They did have some coupons, but we still were a bit disappointed in how high the prices were. We would definitely consider coming back again if in the area!
