“DiRito’s is our go-to Italian spot in Cañon City—whether we dine in, pick up, or Door Dash. The half-order Chicken Alfredo stretches into two full meals without sacrificing creaminess or flavor. The Chicken Calzone, blanketed in house green chile and bubbling cheese, nails that Colorado comfort-food crossover. Any pizza we’ve tried rates a solid five stars: crispy crust, balanced toppings, and quality produce you can taste.

Extras matter here, too: insane garlic with bread, a side salad lifted by a bright, herb-forward Italian dressing, and a cloud-soft tiramisu that leaves just enough espresso on the finish. Portions lean generous (even larger at dinner), and every dish arrives hot and undeniably fresh.

We treat ourselves to DiRito’s about once a month and have never had a miss. If you’re looking for authentic flavor, consistency, and real value, this is the place—count us in for many return visits.“

“Had dinner here the night before my daughter ran an Ultramarathon in Canon City. Pizza is her pre-race dinner. We shared a large Spicy Hawaiian. Wow! From the toppings to the crust it was really very good. And the server was so friendly and efficient. And did I mention that we had LOTS of leftovers as the portions are very generous.“
