Since 1985, Pantaleone’s has been known for fantastic pizza—using our secret homemade crust—and a friendly, family atmosphere.
We enjoyed a complete makeover by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay in July 2013: the kitchen, dining room and menu. Everything is now house-made fresh daily, including our Italian sausage.
Much has changed for the better. Except for our secret homemade pizza crust. After all, you can’t improve perfection.
Welcome to Pantaleone’s!

This was REALLY good pizza. The owner was very friendly, and we had a long conversation with him. He is really nice, the pizza is really good, and I would love to come here again sometime. This truly is the best pizza in Denver.

If you’re in the search for the best Denver style pizza around, you have to try this pizza. It’s absolutely on top. Denver style is a thing hear ye hear ye! Officially declared right here! Not too many people do it. Most try and copy some other city’s style pizza. Stop that. You’re in Denver now. I feel like All pizza is best straight out of the oven so if you get it to go and have a long way to go, have a slice in the car! No one will notice once they get a slice at the house. What you’ll notice is that it’s gone! Better get another!

I came from Australia to visit the U.S. I had to stop at this place after watching Kitchen Nightmares.

Ordered pizza for our office. On the phone the guy tried to argue with us about what we wanted to order and tried to get us to take pizzas someone else ordered and never picked up. Well, turns out he decided we were getting those abandoned pizzas no matter what. As soon as I looked at the pizzas it was obvious that an already made pepperoni pizza was given to us and all they did was pile our sausage and mushrooms on top. The pizza was also cold so that’s cool. 10/10 do not recommend.

We stopped in last night after I looked up “best pizza near me”… my Daughter recognized Mr. Pete right away and a delightful conversation was had when he told us who he was. We came home and ate our awesome pizza while we watched the Kitchen Nightmares episode again. The pizzas were delicious and just right! Bonus plus for the personal career guidance he gave to my Daughter about colleges and “money making” majors!

That was the best pizza I’ve ever had. I’ve had many different restaurant pizzas and this one so far tops them all
