Blue Pan Pizza

I will blame my wife that we have lived down the street from this place for years, I love pizza, and we haven't actually set foot in here. Only an occasional delivery ask. And she prefers thin crust pizza. Anyway, there are days when A) we search lunch specials in the area and B) when she is in the mood for pizza. This was one of those days where A & B were successful. We loved our experience here, and we were the sole bar sitters that day. We loved the food, the drink, and the whole lunch experience overall. Kaylin (forgive me if spelling is incorrect) was our bartender/server, and she couldn't have been more on point, both with efficiency and welcoming personality. I had an IPA (Techno Tom) and she had some wine. The lunch special is a flashback from 10 years ago in price, and I thought the $10.99 price tag was easily surpassed by a fountain drink, hearty salad, and big slice of pizza. We both had the special slice of the day, the Little Rose, and it was delicious. They didn't have any house hot sauce, but I thought outside of the box and asked for their chili oil, and it was a magnificent add to my slice. Definitely recommend doing that if you prefer spicy things. The salad was way above what I would expect from a lunch special. Very quaint, cool bar seating with a great atmosphere overall. My only small dig is I wish they had a West Coast IPA on tap, but I get it...Detroit place. I definitely recommend this place, and see you there (and it won't be years this time)...

Don't sleep on Blue Pan Pizza! Anyone who says "Denver doesn't have good pizza", send them here! This was my second time visiting Blue Pan and both times were absolutely phenomenal. The Antipasto Salad was AMMAZING and the Detroit Style Rocky Mountain Pie was life affirming, definitely add Ricotta and a little hot honey drizzle! You will not leave hungry or disappointed!

The Sweetie Pie is the best deep dish pineapple pizza I think I've ever had. Delicious! 🙌 Our waitress was very kind & polite even though I know we came in right before closing. 🥺 Amazing atmosphere, not too quiet not too loud. Overall really liked & will be returning in the near future!!

We had an amazing experience here today 9/27/25. Sam was our waitress. We ate a Greek salad, eggplant appetizer and the Sweetie Pie for our main course with pumpkin pumpkin beer from the bar. Of course, we had to wait a bit for our dinner but worth every minute!! Food was delicious, drinks amazing and my recommendation is COME HERE!!

The Detroit Style pizza we had was cooked expertly. Crunchy edges (not burnt), the bread was fluffy on the inside and had just the right chew on the outside, the toppings were high quality and flavorful and the sauce was just the right amount with a non overpowering flavor. The people a Blue Pan really know how to make a delicious pizza. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Some of the best pizza in town, but you’ll pay for it ($36 for one pizza). Sweety Pie was fantastic, but really anything you get Detroit style with the Ricotta dollops will be amazeballs.

I've heard about this place for awhile and how good their pizza is. Today I found out it's even better than I've been told. We got the Brooklyn with the Detroit crust and it was an incredible mix of fresh flavors and ingredients prepared to perfection. I also had a salad and it was fresh and enough for two. The atmosphere is well done and the service was incredible. This is a must on any pizza lovers list.

Had a fantastic meal sitting at the bar tonight. Peter, the bartender/manager, was a pleasure to chat with and he gave great recommendations. We had the zucchini fries, small supreme pizza (4 generous squares of Detroit style), hot honey, spicy ranch, and a couple of beers. Happy hour deals are great. Service is even better. Been here a few times and can’t say enough good things about the food, staff, and location. Also thanks to bruins hat bartender and scooter tat server for a great time (sorry I didn’t catch your names).

Well, first of all the food is f*cking amazing. Have a big appetite when you come, everything is good. Service, is simply amazing. Fun, down to earth, and good personalities. Casual food, with casual staff that feels high end dining. Go to this place now, don't wait years like myself!

One of the best pizza places I've been to in Denver! Everything we had was delicious! Staff are super nice. It gets busy so would recommend making a reservation. Cozy inside

Excellent Detroit style pizzas! Try the Brooklyn and the mountain style - both were crunchy yet soft and perfect toppings! Loved it. The eggplant fries are also really good - my husband loves eggplant and he really enjoyed these. We also got a couple of beers.

I am a Blue Pan Stan! On a recent visit, the pizza unfortunately wasn't up to Blue Pan standards, but Giles, the store manager, took care of us! Literally great customer service! I would never have turned my back on them, but now have even more respect! Thanks again Giles and Blue Pan! We are lucky to have you in Denver!

The best, great pizza and good beer! Love a Detroit style but enjoy the New York as take out. Can't go wrong with Brooklyn Bridge.

I'm a think crust gal and their Tavern style is the thinnest, which is what I ordered, but it doesn't come in a personal/small size like the Detroit style. Bummer kinda. Mostly if you don't want to deal with leftovers. But otherwise, who doesn't love leftover pizza. The Pepperoni was thin, the kind of thin that curls up but I actually liked that. Thin pepperoni is still ok with me! The ends of the crust on this style are crispy! Yay for crispy! The Tavern is cut in triangles. The New York - is like hand tossed. Puffy, more doughy, soft end crust with thin inside slices, cut in triangles. Detroit is the thickest, breadiest and their signature and cut in squares. It's nice to be able to get that personal size in this option. They're a fancier pizza joint with cloth napkins and they feature a beer tap list including some wine.

One of my dad's favorite pizza place in the neighborhood! Got take out here and it didn't disappoint. Their Detroit pizza was so yummy. I got the little rose and loved the addition of the mikes hot honey. Their menu is pretty large so it was hard to choose which pizza I wanted. I got the greek salad too and loved the freshness of the ingredients. Will definitely come back again!

We had a 45-minute wait because of a holiday street fair, but it went by quickly. I really wanted to try their gluten-free pizza crust since truly good ones are hard to find--and this one delivered. The crust was thick, crispy, held its shape, and was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed every bite and couldn't help but lament that there isn't a Blue Pan in Northern California. This is a must-try for anyone who eats gluten free.

Really good Detroit style pizza. Between three people, we weren't able to finish the 6piece. Good portion side, fresh salad, and nice atmosphere. Service was a bit slow.

After hearing many of our friends rave about Blue Pan, we finally decided to make the trek into Denver and oh boy, we were NOT disappointed it. They had both Detroit and NY style pizza on the menu and quite a menu of various topping combo! It was so hard to decide. I personally went with half n half of Little Rose and Gold Hill. Little Rose has a drizzle of hot honey which brings the pizza to another level especially if you like a slight sweetness to your savory pizza. However, Gold Hill was my favorite! The balsamic vinegar tied the whole pizza together with the prosciutto and fig preserves. Ambiance was fantastic, has at least one TV on with the football games if thats your thing!

Awesome but do not get the Detroit style pizza here. I repeat. Do not get the Detroit style pizza here. Get the NY style. As a NYer I can tell you it's the best you'll find out here. Besides, who ever thought of pizza and said "let's go to Detroit"?????? It's NY people!

Friendly, knowledgeable service. Detroit style pizza is to die for, ambiance is nice, well located within highlands and street parking is readily available. Detroit pizzas are to die for, crust and contrast with cheese and flavor profile are great. This will be my go to place for my fixing. Menu is pretty extensive and has almost too many choices.

Never had Detroit Style Pizza, and personally I am not a big fan of pizza but I came visiting with friends from CA. This was by far the most delicious pizza i've ever had. It was so filling and had a wide variety of pizza choices. Each one was unique to their own taste and our server was the sweetest gal ever! Very downtown core ambience and a cool bathroom. If I come visit Denver again I will for sure eat at Blue Pan again!

Walked in around noon on a Saturday and there was no wait. I like the ambience of the restaurant felt very clean and neat which I always appreciate. We were a party of 5 and seated promptly. We got the eggplant parm, large sweetie pie, and a large prospector with hot honey (both Detroit style). Eggplant parm: very good! The marinara sauce wasn't too tart and was perfect. My dad usually doesn't love marinara sauce but he liked this a lot. This is my first time having an eggplant parm but was very good. Would get again. Prospector with hot honey: my first time getting a Detroit style pizza - the pizza was thick but not dense but fluffy. This was good! Sweetie pie: this was interesting. I've never had any pizza like this. I don't know if I loved the blended cheese cream(?) on top but it was interesting to try. It felt a little heavy for me, personally wouldn't get this again. Also pretty spicy bc of the jalapeños. Ordered 2 large pizzas for 5 people and it was plenty! We even had left overs. I personally could not even have 2 slices. Overall, our server was very friendly and efficient. She went and came to check on us and the service was good! My parents are not pizza fans but the fact that they approve says a lot! Would come here again and I recommend.

We got here around 4:45 PM on a Friday night. It was fairly dead, but not for very long! This place is a hit and everyone knows it. We ordered two Detroit style pizzas and One Tavern style. We also ordered eggplant, fries, eggplant Parmesan, and their antipasto salad. 10/10 for all of the appetizers. I wasn't too fond of the Rocky Mountain Detroit style pizza nor the Louie Louie Tavern style pizza, but the table seemed to really enjoy it so I think that was just a personal preference. Why four stars instead of five? Well the service was amazing upon our arrival, but our server wasn't the most present. Halfway through our meal, we had asked her to box the leftover salad and eggplant Parmesan, and she said she would. However, when it came to paying the check, we asked her about it, and she simply said "I'm so sorry. It's been thrown away". That was very disappointing because we had half a salad left. The salad was huge. I really enjoyed the food so I'll definitely come back, but I'll probably try a different location.

Some of the best pizza I've had here in Denver. Kind of small but quiet at the same time. It was a very nice place with great service. I will 100% be back again and recommend to all of my friends. Highly recommend you give it a try and get the 313 Detroit style.

My partner with the Italian born father said this is the best pizza he's ever had outside of Naples and I just ate my leftovers for breakfast. Great service and ridiculously good pizza!

Came here for the August pizza of the month with Palisade peaches!! Was so hyped for it - my husband and I split two smalls - the peach pizza (*Sliced Peaches* Red Onion* Chopped Garlic* Detroit Cheese Blend* Whipped NY Ricotta and Goat Cheese Mix* Fresh Basil* Candied Walnuts* Balsamic Glaze*) and the Sweetie Pie (I've been wanting to try but we always stick with the classics). This was the first time we left a little bummed after Blue Pan - the pizzas were still good but peach pizza was way too sweet in my opinion (we should've added some salty prosciutto). The sweetie pie was tasty and had a good amount of heat with the candied jalepenos. Still very good experience - servers are great and attentive, and the ambiance is really nice (I love the pictures near the bathroom in the back with old timey photos of Denver). Not the 5/5 like we're used to but hey still a great date night!

Best pizza in Denver!! Dreaming about the Brooklyn bridge. Keep it up!! Love this place

We barely made it by 9:30pm after the holiday parade and they closed at 10. We felt terrible coming so late but had to try their Detroit style! They were more than accommodating and welcomed us with smiles and friendly demeanors. We ordered the arancini and the Brooklyn Bridge!! Everything was AMAZING. The dollops of ricotta on the pizza were the perfect amount, and the crust had the perfect crunch. We would go back in a heart beat if we lived in CO. It's worth checking out!!

Being from Detroit and coming here was pretty cool! They have a bunch of u of m and lions gear all throughout their restaurant. Very cool to see halfway across the country. We started with the good dog garlic bread which was delicious. Its basically a cheese pizza without the sauce. In addition to the marinara that comes with it we got the garlic ranch which was the best ranch Ive probably ever had. The creaminess and the garlic made it perfect to dip the bread in. We also got the half size of the antipasto salad which was fresh and had a decent amount of toppings on it. For the entree we got the Brooklyn bridge small square pizza. The dollops of the ricotta cheese made the pizza one of our favorites. The crust was crispy and the toppings were unlike any other pizza here in Denver. This is some of the best Detroit style pizza we have had! Overall we ordered a little bit of everything in the smaller portions and felt that it was enough for 2 people. Cant go wrong with ordering a little bit of everything here as it was all delicious. This is the second time we've been here when visiting Denver and it never disappoints! This place is as Detroit style as it gets!

We called ahead of time and they said they had 3 tables open. Came here around 5:30pm and we were seated immediately. The menu is huge so it's a little intimidating at first but just go with a pizza with ingredients you like. My favorite pizza was the Detroit Style Brooklyn Bridge Pizza. The little flower plumes of ricotta cheese were my favorite part of the pizza. These squares are so filling. I think I was only able to have two squares and still have room for 1 slice of New York Style Margherita Pizza. The Margherita pizza was just a standard slice. It didn't stand out to me like the Brooklyn Bridge pizza. Just a safe option so you could have felt like you didn't only have one type of pizza. There's some parking on the street. Easy to Lyft to and from here. Leftovers are still good after dinner. Highly recommend this place if you're visiting!

Love supporting this pizza place! Service is efficient and the food tastes great. Ambiance is good for a casual date night or visitors in town.

Food is good, service is good and atmosphere is good! My favorite pizza restaurant in Denver and cannot recommend this place enough. I've never tried Detroit style pizza and I think it is an absolute gem. I really like adding hot honey to my pizza to balance the salty and sweetness. We also ordered the eggplant Parmesan and it was delicious. The sauce and bread complimented well with the eggplant. I would definitely get it again! Overall, cannot recommend blue pan enough!

I'm an outlier here in the reviews but I found blue pan to be way overrated. My wife and I ordered takeout. We ordered a southwest, a custom pizza, and cheesy bread. All were underwhelming. The pizza sauce is lacking flavor, had a strong burn of the crust, and overall disappointed which is sad because Detroit style is my favorite style. For the price you pay I'd expect better quality. 2/10, would order little Caesars deep dish instead of this

Blue Pan pizza houses my dreams, kneads them into fluffy dough, and tops them off in ways that makes my mouth drool. I don't know how they do it, but their flavor combinations always knock my socks off. Highly recommend going for the thicker, fluffy crust in the Detroit style pizza, unless you're punishing yourself and trying to restrict your carb intake. Some of my favorite specialty pizzas are: - Brooklyn Bridge- all time fave. Imagine the flavor of Prince St Pizza (if you're familiar) but jazzed up even more with delicious dollops of ricotta cheese - Louie Louie- delicious flavors paired with pickled peppers that go perfectly with each slice - 3-1-3- the spread of ricotta cheese instead of classic tomato sauce makes each bite very indulgent. Not for the faint hearted but this flavor combination was incredible I love checking out Blue Pan for both in-restaurant dining or take-out. Service is pretty quick and the pizza holds up well on your drive home. Perfect spot for a date night, group dinner, or cozy night in.

The hype is real! Blue Pan has some amazing offerings and the best Detroit Style pizza. We visited the restaurant on a busy Saturday evening (45-60 min waiting list). Once we got seated, we ordered a couple of salads and a large pizza to share. The atmosphere is fun and we didn't mind waiting for the food. The only downside was that the team was busy and we couldn't get the service we needed. Nonetheless, Blue Pan does pizza and does it well! Give it a try.

Super good, tiny building, beer was good and pizza was amazing. Super cheesy and tons of options.

Service was good and I liked that the windows were open so I could enjoy the nice weather outside. I got a Large Brooklyn Bridge and a Caprese. The Brooklyn Bridge was good but I just think Detroit style pizza isn't my favorite. The ricotta was a great touch and gave the pizza an added creaminess with a hint of sweet. The pepperoni and sausage added a good saltiness. It paired together well but It tasted better after I reheated a piece in my air fryer the next day. The caprese was good but in my opinion there wasn't enough cheese all the tomatoes. Overall I would go again and I would try another pizza style but I wouldn't get the caprese.

Omg. Blue Pan. When we want to splurge on pizza or treat visitors- this is where we order from/take them. I haven't had a pizza here that I didn't like. Detroit style is where it's at and you HAVE to add ricotta if it doesn't already come on it. Drooling thinking about it.

Went here on 7/14/24. Been meaning to come back here sooner but life got in the way. Damn, did I miss this place. Still fantastic like when I had it for the first time. Atmosphere is great. All things Michigan. It was pretty busy on a Sunday night. It's a small dinning area so not a lot of tables. You may have to wait for a table. Pizza is so good! We got the Brooklyn Bridge and it was great. Def want to try other toppings. Great food and drink. Maybe it won't be 8 years between visits. Cheers!

This place is incredible for GF eaters! My husband & I both ordered Detroit style pizzas (Mine GF/His was regular). I kept checking my receipt & examining the difference between my pizza & his cause I couldn't believe mine was really gluten free! I checked the receipt & GF was noted & the only difference I could see is that my husband's pizza had more of a toasted crust on the bottom of the pizza. We did take out so we have not experienced dining in to say how the atmosphere is.

Blue pan pizza had good pizza wish I would've tried more different types. The vibe inside was cool. Also, the drinks were amazing. I tried the bird of paradise. Salad was great. Wish they had wings. Service was great, but definitely a full house.

Pizza here was good. We got a pepperoni and sausage. Think there might've been eight tiny little pepperonis on it and maybe eight little crumbs of sausage which was very disappointing. Flavor was OK sauce and cheese. We're good at best. Disappointed they were out of the eggplant fries that seemed to try to be ordered at every table around us. Will definitely go back. Might just been an off night. Others that went with me agreed it's worth a second try as well. They enjoyed it.

Once you see the pictures of these pies you have to go in immediately. They look so good, and live up to the hype. Great spot for pizza and beers. Always have top notch service and an overall great time.

I remembered first falling in love with the pizza here during covid when it was brought home and it's just as tasty after all these years! It's nice to finally experience sitting inside to enjoy the lively atmosphere! We shared the spinach artichoke dip which was super tasty (the garlic was strong if you're into that) and we had enough leftovers to bring home. We also shared the Detroit style specialty pizzas and they were both SO good and flavorful. I love how crispy it is! The service was also very knowledgeable and attentive from beginning to end. Will definitely come back in the future.

I really liked the 313. The peppers were not spicy but had great flavor. And the ricotta as sauce was less acidic.

We stopped in for a bite to eat on our day in Denver. The atmosphere is really chill which is always our favorite. It was a gorgeous day so they had their large windows open which was so nice to get to sit by. The staff were incredibly friendly throughout our time here as well. The food itself was good. We got the Detroit style Brooklyn bridge. Solid pizza. We also got the arancini (delicious) and a magnolia salad. The salad missed the mark for me, but that's a personal preference...not the restaurants fault.

Best Detroit Pizza in CO? One of my must-try in Denver was Blue Pan bc of my liking towards detroit pizza and bc of Dave Pottony's review. We got half little rose w/out salami and mozzarella and sausage on the other. We also got their garlic sticks which were delicious especially with marinara sauce dipped! Wow both sides were amazing and so good! Could skip out on dipping in some ranch but wow! The honey and sausage were amazing! Def check this place out and have it as a must-try!

The reviews on Yelp were absolutely true. From beginning to end service was top-notch food was delicious. We walked in and were greeted with a smiling face. My sons right away got two squishy toys from the woman greeting us upfront super sweet. Then she brought over coloring pages and crayons for them to use great place for children. Our waitress was attentive. We ordered two kids pizzas my kids loved them and my husband and I order 2 small Detroit style pizzas. Honestly, the best pizza I ever had. We both had beer. I highly suggest the mangonAda blond beer tasted like a real mangonada! The restaurant was small, but not tight windows were open and it let in the cool air from outside. I absolutely recommend this place to anypizza or beer, lover.

We are originally from Michigan and haven't had any comparable pizza while living in Colorado. Blue Pan Pizza is now our go-to spot for pizza, it is delicious Our server let us know the cheesy bread would take 30 minutes and the it was worth the wait! Highly recommend, and also good as leftovers the next day. We split a New York style pizza with half Brooklyn and Diavola. We would get both again, they were amazing. We finished the Diavola at the restaurant (too good to take home, had to eat it there haha) and took two pieces of the Brooklyn home. The Brooklyn tasted even better for leftovers the next day! The service was great and the atmosphere was ideal bar style. We would come back for a football game (go lions!). They also have great cocktails and a good selection of beer on tap. Highly recommend checking Blue Pan out!

Stopped by with a friend on a Sunday afternoon for some post-shopping pizza. The restaurant was half empty and seated us right away. I ended up getting their signature Brooklyn Bridge pizza. It was delicious but it's the kind of meal you might need a nap after. The dough is so fluffy, crispy and oily. The sauce is slightly tangy and sweet. The slight dollop of ricotta adds the perfect sweetness. I can see why this place is so popular and will be adding it to my list of go-tos.

I just don't understand the hype... I added Blue Pan Pizza to my plan when visiting Denver because of all the hype it has and I regret it every time thinking back. I have had good Detroit pizzas before so I just don't understand what am I missing... Food: Their award-winning pizza with whipped ricotta did not win me over :( It was too much that it muted all the other flavors and made it hard to swallow. I do love their pepperoni tho. As for the crust, the outside was not as crispy as I expected and the inside, oh man, it was like bread. A lot of bread. Service: It is very crowded with long wait-time so make sure you check with them first. They were behind on our order but were very sweet and kind to let us wait inside the restaurant. It's a cute, bustling restaurant, great for get-togethers if you do enjoy the food.

If you're looking for a crispy crunch to your pizza this is the spot! They're known for the Detroit style but we got the classic cheese; it was thin crust. Got it To-Go and it came out nice and hot. The cheese is great! I wish it had more sauce but overall, great flavor and a really nice crust.

Pizza is pretty good. Got the Detroit style. Never been to Detroit so maybe. It the best judge, but I've had way better "Detroit Style" pizza. This seemed extra fluffy/cake-like and bland. Would say could use a little salt, but it could be that any salt at all would inhibit the super high rise. Let's talk Magnolia Salad. Something is weird with the taste of the apples. They have an off putting flavor like maybe whatever they soak them in to prevent browning. It tasted a little lemongrass, a flavor that I like, but lousy for that. Also, the candied walnuts have too much spice. Chinese five spice, I presume. Altogether with the dressing and Gorgonzola it's not a well thought out flavor profile. That's All. Delivery guy was great. Will try again, just order a little better next time.

Another great pizza. Easy, accurate online ordering system. Hot delicious pizza. Yummy leftovers the next day. Still my favorite pizza in Denver.

Awesome food - cannot believe their pizza is SO DANG GOOD - prosciutto, Parma cheese , smoked mozzarella and burrata--- you have to work hard to ruin such great ingredients

I've tried it again several times that last few years and have really enjoyed it. It is pricey but the slices are very filling.
