Best Pizza in Arvada

Best Pizza ArvadaCity Pizza & Pasta makes the best Pizza in Arvada: Hands Down. Now, if you like a gooey pie dough like Beau Jo’s or a corn-meal crust like Little Caesar’s or Pan Pie crust like Pizza Hut, City Pizza is not for you. But, if you like a real, New York style, Italian Pizza crust then, you’ll agree with me that the best Pizza in Arvda is City Pizza & Pasta on 80th and Kipling. City Pizza & Pasta is what Anthony’s Pizza wishes it could be. Anthony’s Pizza is okay if you like a decent crust and a lot of grease. City Pizza has an authentic version of Italian style crust which is slightly better for holding the quantity of ingredients. It is slightly thicker, more robust on the bottom and airy and light on the inside just the way a New York style pizza should be – but a little thicker and with less grease. The toppings and sauce are better and more plentiful and there is just the right amount of quality, mozzarella cheese. I’ll admit that I haven’t tried every little pizza joint in Arvada, but City Pizza is the most substantial Pizza I’ve had just about anywhere in the Denver metro area. The pizza reminds me a little bit of the old Manders Pizzeria on 72nd and Federal in Westminster which was a family favorite of ours when I was a kid. That was back in the pre-Dominoes day before a whole slew of pizza chains opened up and sort of made people forget what a good pizza crust looked and tasted like.


 

City Pizza Menu in Arvada

There are more things than just Pizza at City Pizza and they are all pretty good. We, however, were in the mood for good Pizza last night. We ordered one large Pepperoni and one medium Sausage with green chili strips. No good pizza place should make you specify “Italian” sausage. At City Pizza, it just comes that way – and the combination of green chili and sausage is outstanding. The Pepperoni is equally good and is the picture-perfect, classic Pepperoni Pizza. I’m not a big eater of bread these days and I normally stop after 2 or 3 slices of pizza, but City Pizza is special. I had 4 slices last night. The crust is so good, that you don’t believe you’re eating just bread. If you don’t like a lot of carbs in your diet, City Pizza is the one time you’ll want to splurge. Speaking of carbs, in addition to pizza, City Pizza serves buckets of pasta, liguini, and Raviolis. You can also get wings, Italian Sausage, Meatballs, Salads, garlic bread, cheese sticks, toasted raviolis and garlic pizza strips. I haven’t tried all of the side dishes and appetizers, but I do remember the wings being pretty good and the meatballs being quite good. The pizza, however, is the best in town and even worth making a special trip to Arvada for, if you live in another Denver suburb.
