I love the atmosphere here. The food was very delicious and the staff was very nice and accommodating to my group.

We have been in a few times with mixed results. I have had great stromboli here in the past, but recent visits have been less impressive. My latest trip was right after my wife went for a murder mystery dinner, which went pretty poorly. She had organized the event for a group, so she felt terrible when things fell short. They served pizza that night, and a few people commented that it tasted like Chuck E. Cheese pizza. That is definitely not what you want to hear when you host a group for a special night out. Even after that experience, my wife and I decided to head back and try their pasta menu. The place itself is cute and well decorated with a strong Brooklyn Italian theme. It really feels like an Italian grandma's kitchen. The room was hot, though. The cooling system just cannot keep up with Colorado summer heat, and the flies were wild during our visit. I ordered the Pasta Arrabbiata and added breaded chicken, while my wife chose the Chicken Marsala. To drink, she asked for a glass of The Federalist 1776 Cabernet Sauvignon, and I ordered a draft Vintage IPA from Collision Brewing Company. I noticed on their Facebook page that they were highlighting a smoked Old Fashioned seasonal cocktail, but we stuck to our usual choices. When the drinks arrived, I knew right away there was an issue with my draft beer because it had zero head on the pour. One sip confirmed that the draft lines had not been cleaned in a long time. My wife was equally disappointed with her Cabernet. It is not a bottle I was familiar with, but the quality was just not there for an Italian spot. The food was another miss for the table. Visually, my wife's Chicken Marsala looked bad from the start. The sauce had completely broken, leaving behind a greasy bowl of oily noodles and tough, overcooked chicken. My Pasta Arrabbiata tasted pretty good as far as the base flavors went, but it was way too spicy. I know how that sounds coming from someone who ordered a spicy pasta dish. Truth be told, I am the guy who always asks for extra hot green chili and eats roasted jalapeños with steak. I love heat, but this dish was over the top. It was 5-alarm hot rather than a balanced kick, and it would completely ruin the meal for an average diner. On top of that, my breaded chicken was overcooked and dry. I am sure we will give them another try eventually, but I am not rushing back anytime soon. I really want to love this spot, but it feels a bit tired right now. We need good local spots in our smaller towns, but they still need to keep quality high for the community. read more

The food was pretty yummy. We went for lunch. I had the Arbiatta pasta. My husband and the ten inch pepperoni pizza and my daughter had the kids cheese pizza. We had two waters and one pint of beer. The service was pretty good. The cost was kind of insane. Almost $100 after tip for pasta and pizza. read more

My husband chose Wholly Stromboli for a date night. The drive was long and I was hoping the food would be worth it. First of all, this place is so fun. The decor is not your normal restaurant; it is fun and interesting. The staff is kind and attentive. I had a lemon drop martini to start, and it was delicious. We had the Italian Chips and Queso to start. I really liked the first bite, but it just wasn't for me. I had the chicken Parmesan as a main course, and it was delicious. It was way too much food, and it was great the next day. For dessert, we ordered cannolis. They were so good! The bottles of wine were affordable for a restaurant; we are talking bottles starting at $29. It is worth the drive to Ft. Lupton to check this place out. read more

Found this restaurant on yelp and tried it tonite. I got the chicken Marsala which was very delicious and great portions. My husband got the chicken parm and that was just as good! The sauce was perfect. We also got the garlic knots and it was perfectly done. The service was great and the restaurant had a great ambiance. Highly recommend! read more

The food and drink at Wholly Stromboli is always fabulous. Our recent visit was to attend the Halloween Murder Mystery Dinner at the Speakeasy and boy, what a wicked good time we had! A majority of the audience played a part into the "whodunnit" event that was a little chaotic at times. The quirky plot and high energy cast (duo) kept everyone engaged and entertained. There were quite a few random moments and some off the wall characters (a world champion beaver wrestler?) but it truly made for a fun and memorable night. Really excited for future events and stoked about the restaurant's expansion (planning for a Spring '26 debut). By the way, Erik is fantastic at his craft....the Death by Chocolate Gelato was truly to die for. Amazingly deee-lish! read more

Fantastic!!! The garlic knots and homemade sauce is delicious! The service is friendly and helpful. Shout out to Savanna our waitress who made our lunch stop such a pleasure. The ambiance was light and the NY themed restaurant was welcoming being from Connecticut and a visitor to Colorado. Ohhh did you know they are a world winner for pizza?? A must stop. read more

The food was nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was beautifully presented, but more importantly, each bite delivered layers of flavor that felt both creative and perfectly balanced. You could tell the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully selected. The chef clearly knows how to elevate classic ideas while still keeping them comforting and satisfying. The atmosphere was amazing and I felt like I traveled to New York. read more

It had been a long time since coming here. $24 for a 10" pizza, it was ok. cucumber basil martini was not good, vodka marinara tasted like regular spaghetti sauce. Won't be returning anytime soon. read more

First time visiting this location. Upon being seated our waiter asked what we would like to drink. When we asked what they offered he pointed to drink menu on the table and advised for us to look at the menu and walked away. Not the best start to a new location. We decided to order 2 dishes and share. We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with a side of fries and a 10' pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and pineapple. We were going to order a 20' pizza however, the waiter advised it was quite large and since we were sharing a 10' would be best. We did appreciate his advice since the pizza was ok. The cheesesteak was good and definitely shareable. Overall it was good however, not sure we will be visiting again soon. read more

Wholly Stromboli - Second attempt to not overcook it - Pizza Near Me - Fort Lupton, Colorado

I have a gem of a spot for you to check out in Fort Lupton. It's about 40 minutes drive from Denver. Go when you wanna relax. So many things to highlight, so I've broken them into a story or stories. @wholly_stromboli will surprise you! They serve delicious Italian food! They also have this gorgeous Speakeasy in the basement! It's a must do! Make it a date night! Everything about Wholly Stromboli is unique. Husband & Wife Melissa and Eric Rickman owns it. I've met and spoken to Melissa and enjoyed chatting with her. Gorgeous lady and a very gracious hostess. She suggested some dishes. Everything that she mentioned were in my list of must try! So the dishes below are all her fave and we love them! Can't pick just one! Melissa's Favorites:( now mine too) Garlic Knots Italian Nachos Baltic Circle Pizza (winning pie) The Hulapeño Stromboli Chicken Parmigiana Mom's Bread Pudding. You just have to get this. Tips and whispers: They're absolutely busy. No reservation. First come first served ONLY. They will only sit a completed party. They're 10 years old in a historic building that was originally built in 1889, burnt down and rebuilt. There's whispers that a couple of spirits do linger around the building. They have probably the most aesthetically pleasing a beaSpeakeasy in the basement! A must-do! read more

Updating my review. We came today for 3 strombolis and a kids meal. We were sat close to the kitchen and watched our food sit at the kitchen window for 10 minutes. I know this for sure because I texted my husband about it and it was time stamped. Our food was lukewarm. They also raised their prices considerably since the last time we went. I would expect hot food and good service for the prices. Not lukewarm old food. read more

I was shocked by the excellence of Wholly Stromboli in Ft. Lupton Colorado!! Between the four of us, we ordered a huge variety of menu items from appetizers to main courses. Each and every serving was perfection. They were deserving of the highest five-star ratings. Our server was beyond reproach in every way! Please give them a chance. Fine Dining in blue Jean attire. read more

We did carry out and had a hulapno stromboli, it was good, the jalapeno seems to overwhelm the rest of the flavors though. We also got a side Cesar salad, wonderful dressing but the salad at almost $8 is a bit overpriced, not even any parmesan on top. The service was fairly quick and friendly, the inside is very cute and homey. I'll have to go back and try some other things , but overall a decent place read more

Wholly Stromboli is a cute little restaurant in a small town. It serves homemade Italian food from pasta to pizza. My daughter got the pasta and really enjoyed it. We also ordered 2 personal pizzas where the crust was paper thin and the toppings were sparse. The prices are a little steep for what you get. With that being said we always like supporting a local business..However when we got our bill and saw a $5.00 charge for 2 small sides of ranch, I about fell over! How ridiculous!! I can't support a local business when they are price gouging customers. When you spend $21 on a personal pizza and still leave hungry..you could at-least include one side of ranch for free. Sadly we won't be back or be recommending. read more

Wholly Stromboli - Philly Stromboli - Pizza Near Me - Fort Lupton, Colorado

It's a cute idea for a restaurant. The food was fine. We ordered the Boli bites, Big Bambino pizza, side Caesar's, and kids cheese pizzas. I would say the food is appropriately priced. The kids menu wax strings are a nice touch and kept our kids entertained. The restaurant could improve with a cleaner facility. Dirty floors, seats, libations tablet... The newspaper style menus are cute but they are pretty dirty since they are recycled and not tossed after use... my husband ordered a beer he didn't like and the waitress said I can take it back but still have to charge you, which felt weird as a former server myself but I understand. I would recommend it, just think it's a 3/5 experience. read more

I really really wanted to like this place but unfortunately we had a very bad experience. To start, the waitress we had was very rude and seemed to be bothered to be working. We ordered the garlic knots because I thought they'd be delicious since they make them in house "fresh". The knots were not garlicking. They were bland, some were overcooked and some were undercooked. When the food arrived the waitress knocked over some signage that was in the table and just left it like that. The food was either too bland or too salty. They chicken they use tasted like it was burned and had that refrigerator taste. To top it off I noticed a lot of the workers were just gathered chatting instead of helping the customers. I wish I could've been here when the service and food were good. Seems like this business is going down hill if they keep this up. read more

I haven't eaten in the restaurant but I have gotten take out, and it was delicious! I can't stop thinking about their bread pudding either, I wish they delivered to my house. read more

We originally went with friends at their recommendation, and ended up sitting in the speakeasy downstairs and had a magnificent time. The restaurant is currently undergoing some remodeling, but that did not stop anybody from dining in the main upstairs, and the bar has always been packed when we have gone on repeat visits. We generally will eat downstairs where it is a little more quieter and only adults are allowed downstairs and NOT noisy, as some other reviews have mentioned. They have a great bar selection and the food is fresh, homemade and remarkable. This is a quiet gem for Fort Lupton. I highly recommend getting the Boli bites for an appetizer or even a meal with a side salad. The Original Stromboli is stuffed with goodness and if you're hungry get the 30". Prices are very reasonable for the food that you do get and it is homemade so I don't have a problem paying a little bit extra for truly homemade hot meals, as well as supporting our local small businesses. For me, I would much rather spend my time at this restaurant, then at a large chain restaurant. read more

Food is really good, but the dining room is way to loud to truly enjoy the experience there. Service was ok, but extremely slow. However, would not return since the price for their food is just insane. A calzone with five ingredients should not cost you nearly $25!!! That is ridiculous and not at all worth the price. I have never witnessed such price gouging in my life from a restaurant. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more

Sadly, I wanted to like this place. I met the owners and they were just too rude and pompous for my taste. Guess they forgot that customer relations is a big thing. I'll have to skip this one! read more

The Stromboli was delicious. My husband and I shared their 10". It is big enough for 1 person but we were not that hungry so the 10" was a good size. The Stromboli was and a nice crust but not dry the inside was perfectly cooked. Plus for 1st timers they give you free garlic knots. Those knots were soft, buttery and garlicky (which we LOVED). This place is in a cute older town. In a red brick building. It was really neat inside. They had a place below that was a Speak Easy adults only Friday and Saturday. If we come back to Colorado we would DEFINITELY come back here!! read more

Pick up orders , panko chicken burnt to a crisp, pizza and garlic knots cooked perfect, they need a person to view to go food as they would if I was in house dining, not the first time I have dealt with this, with higher prices comes an expectation, lower your prices and it will lower my expectations read more

Wholly Stromboli - Sausage mushroom and meatball, wholly cow does that look good !! - Pizza Near Me - Fort Lupton, Colorado

In shock, mood ruined, Currently here now during the dueling pianos, people at the table were clapping, the table moves with vibrations from clapping. My brand new drink spills over and onto my friend and the floor. I ask for a replacement and the waitress goes to the manager, comes back and tells me I'll have to pay for a new drink even though it was realistically due to the table stability and environment. So I went to the owner and they said they would take care of it. The manager then came over and interrogated me on what happened and then asked if I was driving, I replied later (I've had a single shot drink by this time). He then came back and gave me the replacement and told me to be safe tonight!! Wow, very embarrassing, as if I'm drinking fast and just trying to get a free drink or that I'm drunk and spilling drinks. I always come with 6+ people and all the special events in the speak easy. Sorry but this equals horrible customer service, if you want to know what I've had to drink ask the waitress not insult your customer. Very disappointed, this was one of our go to places for special events. Might have to rethink that!! read more

The Platteville Public Library board decided to hold our Christmas party at Wholly Stromboli. We were not allowed to make a reservation. We were told the whole party had to be there to be seated. One of our board members were late. The rest of us stood at the door waiting. Our director's food was burned. Thej waitress didn't charge for her meal. Some of our party decided to never go there again. read more

It's a fun place and it's quite busy. The food is good. Just don't dare ask for mushrooms on your fettuccine. It's like it is a cardinal sin. If you do that Anthony, The manager, will tell you NO, but if you come when he's not here all the other cooks will do it for you. I asked him if the owner Melissa was going to give him a spanking if he allowed mushrooms to be added to the fettuccine and he said no. Not sure what the problem is there. I've been coming here for about eight years and staff is absolutely amazing. If you get a chance to go to the bar try the old fashion it's really good. OK, I'm going to give you a solution to this problem. Order the chicken Marcella and tell them to hold the chicken. Besides that, sit at the bar and have a great time. I believe you will love the place. read more

Nikki H was fantastic. Gave me the best recommendations. Everything was fantastic. Worth the drive, worth every penny!

2nd visit. Food is good and reasonably priced. Service at the bar was atrocious. I waited 5 minutes for a drink during which the older of the 2 bartenders was washing glasses. When I was finally asked what I'd like, it seemed more important to key the 1 beer order into a handheld device than giving the beer to the customer. This happened 2 more times when I asked for another beer -- I had to flag the guy down. Poor training or leadership not sure which. read more
