The first pizza place we had in Denver was Blackjack Pizza, which I thought was pretty good. Over the weekend we had dinner from a second pizza place called Beniamino’s. This pizza was much different from Blackjack’s, this is Chicago style deep dish. I chose the restaurant after reading good reviews from a local paper called Westword, and seeing that it won best thick crust in 2005 and 2006.
I would have to agree with them and say that this is some quality pizza. I was an immediate fan, and although it took Kim a little longer to enjoy it, I still think she came around. I don’t know if we’ll order all of the time because it is more expensive than some standard pizzas, but I think I’ll definitely order again. Are there any other pizza places in Denver that I need to try?
“Are there any other pizza places in Denver that I need to try?” You better believe it. Coming from the east coast, when I first moved out here I thought the pizza sucked, but I have since found some good places.

Non of them are Chicago style, so if that is your thing, you may want to steer clear.
Thanks for the suggestions Jay, I’ll be sure to check them out. I enjoy all types of pizza, and definitely appreciate New York style. Do any of them deliver?
