One of the beste Restaurant-Experiences we had in the U.S.
First of all real cuttlery, plates and glasses and a super friendly Service and even the Food hat a great quality.
We would completely recommend it.

The pizza sauce is really fantastic. This is one of my favorite pizza places in Denver. Can’t comment on service as I have it delivered. I also enjoyed the panini and chocolate dipped canoli.

For this place to say things like they aim to make the best pizza ever tasted, etc, those are some pretty big claims to fall short of even decent pizza. Too greasy, the dough is honestly what makes or breaks a pizza, and their dough is hard and flat. Maybe other people like their pizza like this but I don't. Not mad about it, they just talk a big talk for it to be a huge let down.

An amazing little local bar and pizzeria. Incredible range of authentic “Brooklyn” style Italian pizzas. Service is impeccable, friendly, fun and fabulous ! So glad I found this spot. I’ll be back John 🫠

Such a good time and the clam pizza was great!

David Cramer

Prices online don’t reflect in store prices. Paid almost double what I was expecting once picking up the order.

the yeast is dead and/or they don't proof their dough balls, and they don't rotate the pizza well against the gas flame, but it'll do if you need food and want pizza

One of the best pizza spots in the city. The Atomica was amazing and the cannoli is a great way to end a meal.

John, the owner, has an amazing welcoming personality and gives you the neighborhood feel you’re likely looking for.

Highly recommend!

One of the best in Denver, if you like a thin and crisp Neapolitan this will not disappoint. In my top 5 favorite pizzas in the state. But if you told me this was your favorite I wouldn't judge you.

Top Notch!

I first stumbled into Proto’s Pizza back in 2011 on a trip in Denver —just a random stop that left a lasting impression. Ever since, I’ve been chasing the memory of that perfect pie, but somehow never managed to find it again… until now. It was even better than I remembered. After 14 years of searching, Proto’s didn’t just live up to the memory—it surpassed it! Jon, the owner was also great and awesome to see him interact and converse with everyone who walked in the door.

If you’re a pizza lover, don’t sleep on this place .

Great dog friendly patio, great service with recommendations and backed up quality of food and drinks. Super relaxed atmosphere. Great to catch up with friends. Affordable too!
Thanks Proto's for a great time!

I’ve been coming to Proto’s Pizza in Denver for over 20 years, and it’s still my go-to spot for the best pizza around. Everyone has their favorite style of pizza, so it’s impossible to please everyone—but Proto’s nails it for me every time. The quality has never wavered—always consistent, never greasy, and the thin crust is absolute perfection. They offer a fantastic variety of fresh toppings and creative blends that keep things interesting, while still mastering the classics.

It’s rare to find a place that delivers such great flavor and consistency year after year. Proto’s is a true gem!
