19 Best Pizza Restaurants in Boulder

“My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Basta, and it was a truly wonderful experience. It's not often you find a restaurant that can impress a diverse group including my wife, my mother, and my mother-in-law, but Basta did so with ease.

We started our meal with a selection of appetizers that set a high bar for the rest of the evening. The burrata was incredibly fresh and creamy, a perfect complement to the rich, smoky flavor of the olives. But the real star was the focaccia bread—warm, airy, and with just the right amount of salt, it was impossible to stop at just one piece.

For our main courses, we chose two pizzas and a vegetable dish. The zucchini was a fantastic addition, with the fresh, crisp vegetable elevated by the vibrant basil romanesco and the satisfying crunch of the breadcrumbs. The clam pizza was a delightful surprise, with the briny clams and a hint of lemon perfectly balanced against the smoky, blistered crust from the wood-fired oven. The Daisy pizza was a testament to the restaurant's philosophy of using high-quality ingredients; simple yet perfect, with a wonderfully flavorful tomato sauce and creamy mozzarella.

To finish our meal, we decided to indulge in all of their desserts, and we were not disappointed. Each one was a perfect ending to our dinner. The Campfire vanilla ice cream had a unique, smoky sweetness that was balanced by the vibrant and refreshing orange and beet sorbet. The sweet corn ice cream was an unexpected and delicious highlight, while the rich chocolate budino with pistachio butter was pure decadence. And of course, the donuts were a warm, fluffy, and perfect final touch.

Basta’s combination of a warm, inviting atmosphere and truly incredible food made for a special and memorable night. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall great experience. We left feeling completely satisfied and already talking about when we could return. I highly recommend Basta for any occasion, whether it's a date night or a special family gathering.

Special thank you to Suzanne and Chef Alex for creating such a special evening.“

“We had a calzone at Pizza Colore in Boulder, and it was SOOO delicious! 🤩🔥 If you're in the area, you need to try it! 🍕❤️“

“always great Pizza at a great price“

“One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had💚💜“

“We went today for the first time and LOVED the meatballs, caesar salad and the lamb pepperoni pizza with a pumpkin beer taster and glass of cab!!! I will be back and soon! Oh… the dessert was so yummy and unique flavors!“

“Grayson was so helpful and patient! I ordered over the phone and bombarded them with questions. The owner Casey was very kind as well. BEST DEEP DISH PIZZA IN BOULDER! The turbo crust is absolutely banging. Delivery is only $5 and they always have promotions going. I would give 10 gold stars if I could. I would have posted a picture of the pizza but I scarfed it down so heres a picture of the box!

P.S. Grayson needs a raise because he’s got impeccable customer service skills⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Got their lunch combo! A slice of my favorite, the Spicy Pig & a Caesar salad w/sparkling Pelegrino in a glass bottle. The slices are huge. The slice I got was a nice thin crust w/lots of spicy sausage & pepperoni. It had the right level of spice, cheese, & oil. The Caesar has a nice dressing. Convenient location. It’s easy to park. The staff is kind! The bathroom is clean. Open kitchen to see them put the pizzas in. I highly recommend them! There are vegetarian options & thicker crust in some styles available.“

“Best pizza! Thanks to you all for still being here for Boulder!“

“The pizza is pretty good, considering options in Denver. The service leaves much to be desired. The pizza arrived room temperature/cold and not even warm. On the phone manager was very apathetic and refused to make it right. He kept talking over me, even in person, and when I called him out on it he told me literally verbatim that I was a liar. Drove over to the store, returned the cold pizza and got a proper hot pizza with a side of attitude. For a $25 pizza, it should be received hot or replaced.“

“This is the real deal New York Style pizza.“

“Proto's makes the best pizza anywhere in the area! The quality, variety, and flavors are amazing! I highly recommend giving Proto's a try!“

“Proto’s is a hidden gem in Gunbarrel that I honestly don’t want to keep secret… but it’s too good not to rave about. The pizza is next level the crust is perfectly crispy, the toppings are always fresh, and the pineapple pesto pizza? Life-changing!

The vibe is laid-back and cozy, and the staff are all super kind. Whether you’re sitting on the patio with a spritz on a summer night or grabbing a quick lunch, it just hits. I love having this spot in the neighborhood it makes Gunbarrel feel like home.“

“We were Visiting from Houston got In kinda late but we walked in 30min before closing but place was still full of guest and we're greeted with all smiles..owners wife was at the door and was extremely pleasant! Food was on point vibe was great we sat outside service was outstanding would definitely come back ....“

“This was one of the best, and most memorable, pizzas I've had in the metro area in quite long time. In particular, I really liked the sauce which is not something I tend to pay much attention to with pizzas. I would definatley come back again!

My only complaint is how the pizza is served, as it is given to customers on the platter it was baked on. I was given a second plater to shield my hands but by the time I was able to get downstairs to find a table (Avanti was packed) it was becoming painful to hold to the point I almost dropped my food. Please find a better way to serve the pizza!“

“The most generously topped pizza slices I've ever had! My wife and I both had Mediterranean slices and it was like a salad on thin crust pizza. Absolutely delicious! Seemed pricey at first but once I saw and tasted it, it was worth it!“

“This place has not only incredibly delicious pizza and food but absolutely amazing vibes and friendly welcoming staff, the owner David is a killer DJ and good person! Do not miss out on:) will be stopping here every visit to Denver hands down!“

“Fantastic everything food vibes atmosphere staff everything 10/10“

“delicious! crunchy crust and cheesy!“
