Blue Pan Pizza

Great pizza and very kind and attentive staff! This is the best pizza I've had in Colorado and I'm from New York so you can trust me. They have so many options to choose from. The piece is honestly much cheaper than it should be for this quality. Other places are stingy with their toppings and overcharge but this place really loaded you up. We left with happy full stomachs and a lot of leftovers. We will be back:)

Great atmosphere and even better pizza. They had all the sides of the building open which was awesome on the nice day that we were there. The pizza took longer than I'd have liked to come out but it was worth the wait. The Detroit style is great and the pizzas all tasted so fresh. It's not cheap but you do get a good bit of food at least.

No reservations, first come first serve. Nobody waiting for a table when we got there with a couple open tables. Was told 45 minute wait?? Spaces opened up at bar that seats approximately 6-8. Bartender seemed busy cleaning and organizing. Took awhile to get my second beer and more water, and I don’t ever expect instant service. She didn’t know what was on their wine list? We have been there 3-4 times but have always had to sit at the bar, even with open tables and nobody waiting? Regardless, great pizza, wine, and beer. I feel the service is, possibly, a little better when sitting at a table. I would recommend, could have been one of those nights. I would definitely prefer to be on my side of the bar!

Blue Pan Pizza is an absolute gem in Denver’s food scene! If you’re a pizza lover, this place needs to be at the top of your list. We tried the Detroit Style Brooklyn pizza, and it completely blew us away. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and the crust had that ideal combination of chew and crisp—true pizza perfection. What makes Blue Pan even more special is the range of styles they offer. Whether you’re in the mood for Detroit-style deep-dish, classic New York-style slices, or a crispy tavern-style pie, they’ve mastered each one. It’s rare to find a pizzeria that does multiple styles so well, but Blue Pan pulls it off flawlessly. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and the quality of the ingredients was obvious in every bite. You can tell this place is run by people who are passionate about great pizza. We’ll definitely be back—and next time, we’re bringing friends!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Blue Pan Pizza – A Denver Gem! Blue Pan Pizza on 32nd Ave is hands down one of the best pizza spots in Denver. If you haven’t tried their Detroit-style pizza yet, you’re seriously missing out. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside, airy and soft on the inside, with that irresistible caramelized cheese edge that takes every bite to another level. Their toppings are fresh and well-balanced, and the flavors are just on point. But it’s not just the pizza—Blue Pan’s Caprese salad is the best I’ve had in recent memory. The tomatoes are incredibly fresh, the mozzarella is high-quality and creamy, and the basil and balsamic bring everything together beautifully. It’s simple, but when done right (like they do here), it’s absolutely unforgettable. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is great, and the service is top-notch. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re in Denver and love great pizza (or just great food in general), Blue Pan is a must-visit. Five stars all the way!

After reviewing the thousands of positive reviews I was extremely excited to try out this eclectic Denver dive spot. After dining, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone. Upon entering the restaurant establishment the waitstaff seating us was incredibly rude. After a long wait for a server to attend to us we were greeted with “are you ready to order” no pleasantries of any kind. When we said no we were told we needed to order imminently as the restaurant had closed 20 mins ago, which was then corrected to closing in 30 minutes to an hour to then 40 minutes. So, we promptly went through the extensive menu and ordered a Detroit style pizza and garlic bread both of which were absolutely rancid. Dry, overpriced, and flavorless. As a pizza connoisseur this was an absolutely appalling experience. To charge 30+ dollars for dry bread with minimal lackluster toppings is an insult to all patrons. The wait staff seemed to be discriminatory in nature relating to the race and stylistic choices of patrons and the atmosphere was loud and obnoxious. If you made it this far please think twice before going to this establishment or if you do please be warned of the potential of urgent bathroom use; however, be warned that this locations bathroom is dirty and down a dark and ominous hallway. This is an overpriced and lackluster establishment that does not offer good food, service, or atmosphere.

This is a great pizza experience. Coming from the pizza capital of the world, northwest Ohio, this is one of my favorite places in Denver. The Detroit style is fluffy and flavorful, while not being overly filling. The ricotta is an out of this world add-on. Solid New York style as well, and you gotta love good service for a place that sees a lot of business. Thanks Blue Pan!

Cheyenne did a fantastic job on our lunch. With family in town we wanted to find a quiet spot to visit. We were promptly seated, brought our drink order and appetizer of eggplant fries which were amazing . For pizza orders we had a custom gluten free crust Detroit style... Amazing The Rocky Mountain Detroit style was fantastic as well. We were very well taken care of and our drinks kept topped off. Can't wait to visit again. 🌻👍

Place was great from food to service. There was a bit of a wait On a Friday at 7 pm but we were informed along the way. Nice place

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Good food, but was surprised at the beer pint prices. $11.50 per pint. Really! I expected on the food because i heard pizza was really good but not the bar. Will not go back

Delicious dairy free pizza!! Very kid friendly with a tone of drink options. Great place for families

7/10 but great pizza and nice staff. It was busy, but the weight was right on the time. A large is way too much food for 2 fyi. It's great if you want to bring home 2-3 slices.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Ordered online, delivery, took over 90 minutes. Pizza MUSHY on the inside and COLD along the edges...and over 40 bucks. Ridiculous

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 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.

Great food!!! We loved everything we ordered, our server was kind, the area was nice, and parking was easy

Very good food! The service was amazing! The store was very well put together and welcoming! Nice spot.

I have been dying to come to this place since I moved here since it was so highly recommended by everyone I met, and it did not disappoint! Be warned there will be a wait if you are coming at regular dinner hours and there seems to be a lot of takeout at the same time. We got bar seats right away for 2 people, otherwise, there is generally a 45-minute wait. The staff was so good! Absolutely loved their recommendations and even talked to us about other restaurants they loved, which I am always down for a good recommendation from other foodies. Great beer selections and suuuper refreshing handmade craft cocktails I haven't seen anywhere else that aren't too sweet. Definitely try the Cucumber Honey Hound, yuuuum! There are options for certain pizzas here, so if Detroit isn't your style, there are pies that come in the classic NY style as well. I will definitely be back to try all the pizzas here, had a great time here :)

90 dollars plus tip for three large pizzas. Was not impressed with NY style nor Tavern style. Detroit style was okay. Definitely not worth the price. Stick to Dominoes Papa John's or really any other basic pizza place and save your money.

Wait time was a quarter century and the pizza took a quarter century to come out, but the pizza bangs.

Some friends and I decided to check out blue pan pizza a few weeks ago. It has been a few years since I first had their pizza, but remembered it was a unique staple of Denver. The deep dish crust with crispy cheese along the edges was one of my favorites, and the unique topping and sauce combination set them apart as well. For this location parking was a little tricky and the seating area inside is rather small. Be prepared to wait for a little bit if you come during peak times. For a large pizza that has eight slices the cost is around $30. A little pricey in comparison to your typical pizza place, but well worth the splurge every now and then. When we were there, the music was too loud, but we asked the waitress if it could be turned down and she quickly adjusted the volume level. The service was great for our party of six

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.

This place is the best bank for your buck for pizza in my opinions. Specifically the detroit style. Service was a tad of a wait since the restaurant was small. But not too bad. Highly recommend
