After work on Friday I had a craving for some pizza.  Kim and I decided to try something new and found Fuhgidabowdit Pizzeria over near the University of Denver.  At first I wasn’t too sure of our decision after walking into a small and dingy restaurant.  I was expecting more than just a few tables and chairs and order from the counter service.  We quickly looked over the menu and decided to start with some garlic knots and also to split the Venetian Pizza with Ricotta, Spinach, Mozzarella, and Marinara sauce.  We were told that there weren’t any knots ready, so it would take time to prepare.  I’m glad we decided to wait for them to be prepared fresh as they were very good and were served with a large cup of marinara.

Our pizza came out shortly after the garlic knots, and was a large 18″ pie that was cooked perfectly.  This is New York style pizza with huge slices and rather thin crust.  Our choice in pizza turned out to be pretty unique and also really delicious.  One of the two employees commented that one of the owners came up with this pizza on his own and that he thought it tasted a lot like lasagna.  He was definitely right about the ricotta and marinara blending together to give a lasagna taste.  The huge pizza was more than enough and we ended up taking half of it home.

Despite my thoughts on the physical restaurant, the food is great, and the service was excellent.  I’m sure it’s much busier when school is in session at DU, but it was a perfect quiet night out for the two of us.
