The Best Pizza in Denver

"For its Euro-cool vibe as well as its wood-fired pies, this tiny dynamo housed in a RiNo shipping container has mojo to spare. In addition to crowd favorites like the namesake Cart-Driver with mozzarella, sausage, kale, and chili flakes and the clam pie with littlenecks, pancetta, roasted garlic, and cream, it whips up market specials on the regular — take the fall special with pumpkin and yam puree, chèvre, spicy coppa, roasted green peppers, sage, and balsamic glaze. Snappy cocktails and geeky wines add to the allure." - Gigi Sukin, Paul Albani-Burgio, Ruth Tobias

All around a great experience! The oyster mushrooms went great with the humus. The bread and peppers on the pizza were such a high quality. I can’t remember the part time I had pizza so good! Rigatoni was good, but not a must have.

The bread and butter was delicious, and the butter was the perfect temperature. The carbonara was one of the best pastas I’ve had and loved how much pepper was in there. The mariner and white pizzas were both good. The espresso martini was solid, too.

Great vibes with awesome food! We had a double date night with friends and had a wonderful experience we’re definitely coming back. We started off sharing the oysters, mussels and a big salad which were all wonderful. We tried the daisy, peppers, cart driver and mussels pizzas all were good but the last was the best, it was so unique. The Prosecco on tap is delish perfect for washing everything down. Molto bene!

A reservation online was suggested but walk ins welcome. When we arrived Megan was at the host stand and welcomed us with the friendliest greeting. Seated immediately. Maddy was our sweet attentive server who did a great job. We got a couple of their craft cocktails which were strong and delicious and the proceeds of one was a full donation to a local group. Our tabouleh mushroom appetizer was amazing! Along with the bread and butter 🤤 and of course we came for the pizza. The Casual Atmosphere inside was fun and lively. We would recommend this place to all, families, date nights or any group. Outside seating as well. Beautiful restaurant, skilled hard working staff, incredible food.

10/10🔥 my husband and I went there for pizza and we will definitely come back. Food was excellent, high quality ingredients and just perfect authentic taste. I love the vibe of the restaurant- chill and so cool. The waitress was so friendly! (Lucy, I think) I would recommend this spot without a doubt! Ps. I appreciate all the non-alcoholic drink options. ❤️

Housed in the old Z Cuisine Space, cart driver opened up the space and created an open kitchen based on their large wood fired pizza oven. All the dishes we tried were delicious. Chicken liver mousse and mushroom appetizer were highlights. The sausage pizza came out with charred bubbles on the rim and a beautifully crisp Neapolitan crust. Comparable to pizzas I have had in Naples. Will be back.

Came here for a birthday and anniversary celebration and the experience was wonderful! We were greeted with a celebratory glass of prosecco and the food, service and ambience were outstanding. Shared appetizers- bread and butter, olives, oysters, salad and then the white pizza and two peppers pizzas. I highly recommend you visit!

I've visit their RiNo location before and loved the food but their LoHi location has even more options and way more space! They have an outdoor patio that was full when we dined on a Friday for happy hour but the indoor seating was a great option. Their happy hour included drinks, oysters, and the Daisy pizza and more. The happy hour cocktail was super tasty and rotates, which I love. The cheese pizza was just as good as I remember! Our server was great and quick. We have a miscommunication about the happy hour negroni but she was able to fix it without issue. I will certainly be back and can't wait to try their pastas at this location.

Appetizers, Pizza, and drinks are excellent! Great drink menu with a good selection of cocktails and wine. They have a cocktail for a cause and for any month, mine was rose infused gin based cocktail. Beautifully balanced! I also tried the chicken liver mousse with housemade bread and pickles. Delicious starter and oysters were fresh too! Can't go wrong with any of their pizzas. Service was attentive and quick. I find thế better parking with this particular location and the restaurant is roomier.

This place is located in the center of LoHi. We found street parking. Had a reservation and we're seated on time. There is also an outdoor patio which is nice when the weather is appropriate outside. We came here a little bit earlier to get the happy hour cocktail deal. The happy hour menu, features several appetizers and cocktails. It was refreshing. After we got seated for dinner, the server was very friendly and gave us great recommendation. To start, we ordered a charcuterie board and added prosciutto on the side for an extra six dollars. My favorite thing on the board was the chicken liver moves and sausages. Another appetizer that we ordered was the beat and ricotta cheese salad. I highly recommend it because it's got a nice flavor, great for Summer For pizzas, we ordered a lamb and chimichurri as well as the signature cart-Driver pizza with sausage and mozzarella. I like both of them and I like that they are not as heavy as some other sick and heavily sauce. Pizzas you might find elsewhere. Their pizzas achieved a nice balance My favorite part of the dish was actually the Bolognese pasta! It comes in a very small portion, but very well cooked with a beautiful presentation . This is something that I will definitely order again One thing that I really didn't like was that one hour and 45 minutes since we sat down at the table , the server already started rushing us out, saying that the next reservation for this table is coming up soon. Then the server kind of hovered around the table and looked at his watch as a passive aggressive sign. I understand that this is not the servers fault, but a decision made by the restaurant. However, it is very unpleasant to have someone constantly rush you while you are enjoying food and drinks with friends because they set their reservations close to each other and are so eager to flip the table!

I've been here a handful of times and I've had good and sub-par experiences. That being said, this past trip was amazing. Unknowingly popped in during happy hour so we had to oblige in some cocktails. The messed-up-Negroni is fire. The addition of Prosecco in their take on a Negroni makes the cocktail extremely crushable with the same bitter taste of the original. Big fan. We threw back a couple oysters and they thoroughly impressed me. Fresh and no salty fish taste at all, great presentation as well. We started with some bread and butter. Slightly charred focaccia with a rotating compound butter. The butter at the time was a salsa verde flavor which tasted a lot better than you would think. Great way to get warmed up for more carbs. The entrees we ordered were the Zaerano Farfalle and Prosciutto and the Daisy pizza. The farfalle was the star of the show. Full of flavor from the sauce. Almost like a buttery broth. For pasta this is as light as it gets, but the flavor is all there! The daisy was great too, nothing much to report. Above average Neapolitan style pizza. Great size for 17$. If you're hungry you could probably crush it yourself. The restaurant itself is well kept and charming. Upscale feel and decor - type of place to impress your parents with a casual meal. Might sound weird but they have misters for their outside seating and they perfectly offset the 90° weather. Our service was great! Accurate and timely. Friendly and upbeat. Very fun and delicious meal.

A short walk from our hotel in LoHi area. We walked in and was able to get seated but a high top table for 2 by the bar area. We were explained the menu and they had a happy hour menu. Got a few drinks but they were honestly very weak like water for both of our drinks. First off, it's pretty expensive. Like coming from Boston, the prices were on par. Also something I noticed were they are super light on the meat options. Some here and there but the menu is pretty vegetarian friendly so we actually preferred they had more. Ordered pork bolognese and peppers pizza. The pasta was good in its own way I would say. The flavors were good but nothing close to Italian. Comparing it to an Italian dish, no good but not comparing it, it was good in its on way. The pizza was just ok. Just a pepperoni pizza honestly that costed $20 for a small 10 inch. Service though was super quick. Anytime our plates were cleaned, instantly the waitress was ready to pick it up.

Great spot in a cute neighborhood. Can choose from indoor and outdoor. We ordered the Daisy to share. You can also do toppings on half the pie! The pizza took awhile but because it's made fresh! It's pretty large. We were both stuffed eating half of the pie. Service was great!

Cart-Driver is just fantastic. The service is always great. I've been in twice and have usually stuck with the seasonal special. You can't go wrong with a goat cheese, peach and prosciutto pizza. The drinks are fantastic as well. Noise is a little high, but I can get past that or sit on the patio which is on a relatively quiet street.

Finally made it to Cart Driver and it was every bit deserving of the hype! The pizza was amazing, including the crust, toppings and sauce. Unfortunately the peach pizza was just a special, so it's not always on the menu but I wish it was! The salad was the perfect side, with a zesty balance. We sat on the patio and it was very dog friendly with the waitress's bringing our dog water and being so sweet. Everything on the menu sounded delicious so we will definitely be back to try more!

I've been eying Cart Driver ever since I heard about their Prosecco on tap and Clam Pizza - so after pampering ourselves with facials, my sister and I ventured over for a glass of wine and a bite before heading home. We arrived around 5:15PM on a Monday, which allowed us to snag a spot to park on the street and walk less than a block to the entrance. The restaurant was relatively busy for a weekday happy hour yet there was plenty of seating in the cozy interior, so the host graciously lead us to a high-top table near the bar, which was perfect for the two of us. Let's just say the large windows, exposed brick, open kitchen, rich oak bar and jazzy tunes played overhead really create one hell of a vibe, that's totally welcoming. We quickly found ourselves right at home and proceeded to check out the extensive menu. The bartender (who also happened to be our server) approached us within minutes to take our drink order, and although we weren't feeling Prosecco, we simply asked him for his recommendation on wine that would accompany the Clam Pizza. Ultimately, he chose a deliciously crisp white, that was dry and delicious! He was very friendly, informative and made small talk with us, which was nice. He was attentive yet allowed us to enjoy all aspects of the meal without a rush. Now - the FOOD! HOLY MOLY. Everything is made in house - dough, sauces, pasta - you name it, it's made within the walls of the establishment and totally impressive. We opted to start our meal with a round of fresh Oysters - Massachusetts Oysters to be exact - which were lump, plump and oh, so good! The 4 we ordered went fast, so at the request of my sister, we ordered the Sardines. Before we knew it. the canned Sardines arrived with a side of sauces and freshly baked Italian bread. Let's just say - this was one of my favorite parts of the meal! The soft salty fish paired SO WELL with the sauces against the dense bread - creating the perfect bite! YUM! THEN, out came the Clam Pizza! Each pie features a delicious cream sauce topped with littleneck clam, pancetta, panna, roasted garlic cloves (which were so so so good) and herbs. Within the first bite, my sister and I looked at each other and said YUM in unison, because YUM. The pizza was perfectly wood fired, generously topped with goodies and had both salty and sweet elements (I swear I could taste cinnamon!) that balanced out nicely! We were too stuffed for dessert, but possibly next time! Overall, I'd easily return to this little gem in the heart of LoHi - and you should too! ***Pro Tip: Happy hour is offered, despite the misprint on the menu. We were a little stumped when the host brought us a happy hour menu, only to see that happy hour was offered Tuesday - Friday, but I assure you, it's offered each day - both during the week and weekend!

Without question, Cart Driver is one of the top 5 pizza places in Denver, and the LoHi location has great vibes, friendly service, and plenty to love. If you're into Neapolitan style pizza, outside of Marco's Coal Fired, there's pretty much nothing that compares to Cart Driver in Denver. Neapolitan style pizzas is the classic style of pizza, and they mix it with modern recipes and delicious appetizers that make this a great place to bring friends and visitors alike. There's a reason why Cart Driver is on every best pizza in Denver list, and the LoHi location has more comfortable seating that's still super cool and modern when you're looking for pizza in the area.

Amazing spot in LoHi, especially for happy hour! My staple order is The Daisy (Margerita) Pizza. The crust is the perfect balance of crispy & chewy, and the sauce, mozzarella & basil all taste super fresh. It's a generous size for being relatively cheap on the happy hour menu too!

My pizza, substituted her mozz for some ricott. Truly scrumptious, the perfect size to eat on i70 between denver and glenwood. Wouldn't recc the extra sauce though, ended up sipping it down.

Went here for a girls night and it was amazing!!! We had a group of 6, so we were able to try quite a few dishes. We started with the bread/butter + farmers salad. The bread and butter was a bit more hyped up than I think was needed, but that salad was 10/10. We ordered the mushroom, fennel, and white pizza! The fennel was my favorite-- the sausage had the perfect amount of heat.

Definitely the best pizza in Denver - hands down. Each pizza is so flavorful. We tried the daisy and also the white pizza. Both were fantastic. Being a new yorker who has also lived in Chicago - I have a very high bar for pizza and Cart-Driver will not disappoint.

Best pizza in Denver! I am a huge fan of pizza in (almost) all it's forms. However, overall if I were to choose the best pizza I've had since moving to Denver I'd pick cart driver. My boyfriend and I came for happy hour and got the special cocktail and the Daisy and Peppers pizza (basic, I know). The drinks were so good and the pizza was the perfect combination of toasty and chewy! It tasted very authentic and not too overwhelming or rich. Loved the vibe of the place as well, but defiantly get there early since it filled up quick! The outdoor bar at the LoHi location was so cute and great for people watching. Trying the oysters next time

A whole section of the menu dedicated to the classic spritz? Found my new summer patio spot. I got the spritz of the day, which was wonderfully floral and bright. I would definitely get it again! We got the farmers salad which came with a Parmesan dressing. The dressing was a bit much, and I would definitely get it on the side next time. I also thing the Parmesan made it a bit gritty in texture, but hey, it's a popular dish! We got the Daisy pizza which was delicious! Such a chewy crust and fresh marinara! The cheese could have been a bit more fresh, the mozzarella wasn't anything special. Overall though, I enjoyed my pizza and would have gotten another! Bonus points for such a cool atmosphere, misters on the patio, and great service!

Pizza is Staff is sort of hit or miss. Wait staff is good if you are sitting at table, but at the bar, expect to be ignored. Bar tenders will do anything but look at you or have a chat. And there is HUGE underlying pretense here. Skip the basque cheese cake. I love basque cheesecake but this has none of the light airy soufflé texture that makes the basque style superior. It's just a crustless, torched dense and dry version. Hopefully they work on that. Prices are ridiculous. Update: I guess they closed. No wonder!

Finally found my happy place after four years of searching in Denver. What's amazing? +Handmade pasta - hands down the best I've had in Colorado and potentially the best I've had in the US. +Pizzas- tied for my favorite in Colorado w Redeemer Pizza but their pepperoni are better than Redeemer. +fantastic Prosecco ON TAP! +the ambiance-- two bars?!?!? Great playlists. Laid back and airy interior. Comfy dog friendly exterior. What's outstanding? Their service. Every time I go, I'm treated w warmth and care. Ashley and Andrew are truly fantastic people let alone servers.

Great pizza, great bread, slightly disappointing server. We came at 4:00pm on a Saturday. We requested to amend our reservation from 4 people to 6 people. The hostess was so kind and still sat us. The server we got seemed to be in a bad mood and not up for recommending menu items, which is fine but made it a bit uncomfortable any time she came over. We ordered the olives and anchovies to start. Both were great but the star of the show was the bread. PLEASE, ORDER YOURSELF SOME BREAD. All of the pizzas were tasty, but all were a little too... floppy for me. Overall, would come back for the bread and the outdoor seating on a sunny day. Thanks Cart driver!

Amazing wood-fired pizza within walking distance from my house? Doesn't get much better than that. I tried Cart-Driver for the first time after always seeing it on my walks and decided to try. We didn't have a reservation so we put out name in. It was a Friday evening and they told us it would be about 30/40 minutes and it only ended up being 20! We sat down, ordered some bread and butter and a large selection of pizzas. It was quite the bummer but they were already sold out of the market pizza for the day - we were all looking forward to that one most. (looks like we will have to go back soon). After ordering, we got our bread and butter - which was SO delicious. They often change the type of compound butter that they and we loved it. The biggest downfall to our experience was the wait for our pizza - after ordering we waited over an hour and 15 minutes before our first pizza was brought out. I'm not sure if it's always that way or if the kitchen was backed up, but we would have appreciated a heads up when we ordered. The pizza was worth the wait! They were all very tasty, I think my favorites were the white pizza or the cart driver. We peeked at the brunch menu and would like to try that as well. Breakfast pizza has my name all over it.

This location doesn't hit as hard at the rino location. Our pizza was soggy and we could barely hold it to take a bite. We noticed the table next to us was having the same issue and was eating theirs with fork and knife. Now to the positives, the oysters were great, of course. Our waitress was so nice and provided great customer service. However..In the future, I'll stick to the rino location!

This is a must! We sat outside to celebrate our daughter's birthday. The service was so great! The food was delicious. We had a mix of pizza, risotto, pasta and some apps. All of it was soooo good!!!

This place rocks! Located in a funky, cool neighborhood in Denver, this place screams laid back cool. Street parking can be tricky but we were lucky on a Sunday night. This was our last dinner during our Colorado vacation and we went out with a bang. We did dining in. We started with a Farm Green salad and it was honestly one of the best salads I ever had in my life. It was phenomenal and the flavors just melded together. The dressing was excellent. I had the Daisy and it was great. The little one had a pepperoni (which is called Peppers). There was a bit of mix up since I thought they would make a kid size for her but she got the regular adult size and of course proceeded to eat one piece. I helped out a bit and it was THE BEST pepperoni pizza I have ever had. Ever. The wife had the Hawaiian and liked it a lot but there were pickled jalapeños that were very spicy and overpowered the rest of the flavors. The star for all the pies was the crust which was crispy and charred. Delicious! I had a Colorado cola and the kid had a Colorado root beer which I thought was cool. The service was friendly and helpful. I would definitely return here.

The weather is warming up so why not enjoy happy hour on the patio the chicken mousse pâté with the bread I don't know which was better!!! And to finish with a sweet tooth the basque cheesecake with the compote was a hit I couldn't stop eating !! I need to come back and try more of this menu !! The ambience on the patio was a relief from the winter and inviting for all, I loved seeing the beautiful smiling faces.

Cart-Driver has been on my hit list for some time, so I was excited when a friend had a birthday dinner here recently. We were a group of ten and they had the perfect setup for the occasion. Five stars are for the stellar food and awesome service. To eat, we tried the bread and butter, chicken liver mousse, hawaiian pizza, salad, and cheesecake. Chances are you're here for the pizza and it definitely didn't disappoint. The hawaiian was unique and spicy due to the jalapenos they include, with the perfect crust. That being said, they also make some IMO "hot but not too hot" sauces which I found an excuse to put on most things I was eating. As for the other dishes, the salad was especially tasty while the chicken liver mousse was great but definitely make sure you have a few people to share it with because the serving size was really generous. The food came out fast which was impressive since we were such a large group. Our server was really attentive and also on top of drink orders throughout. The cocktails were a big hit, and I was appreciative of the stellar mocktail the bar managed to make. Overall, Cart-Driver lived up to my expectations! I definitely would love to go back for a date night or group dinner.

Such a cool spot. Such good food. First of all, HH is worth it, and offers great value. The Daisy pizza is my go-to, and I suggest not only using the hot sauce of the week that is on your table, but also making sure there aren't different bottles floating around. AND, get the chili oil for the pizza. Magical. Our server was Jeff, and he was fantastic. When he wasn't around, someone else checked on us, and you really felt the team unity in the place. If you sit outside, they have misters and they are fantastic. The chicken liver mousse is on HH and is incredible. You can get cocktails for cheaper, or get a 16 ounce Montucky Cold Snack for $3.50. For drinks, I recommend the Messed Up Negroni, although make sure you ask what the Dealer's Choice cocktail is (also on special). We haven't had the sardines yet, but the word on the street is that they are also amazing. Highly recommend and see you there.

One of my favorite restaurants in Denver that I find myself going to again and again. Whether is be Sunday brunch, a weekday date night, or a quick dinner after a yoga class--Cart Driver caters to all tastes and moods. My favorites include the bread and butter (just trust me, it's worth it) and clam pizza. They also have a great wine selection and knowledgeable somm who loves to talk shop. If you haven't been here yet and you like Neapolitan-style pizza, move it to the top of your list!

We were in NEED of pizza and when another place didn't even quote a wait time and just said you have 12 parties ahead of you, we went in search nearby. So after realizing we were within walking distance of Cart-Driver (and I've been following them on Instagram) decided to call and see how long the wait is. They said 10 minutes and we rushed over. Once we arrived they immediately sat us, no wait at all. We ordered 2 pizza (the peppers and the white), an orange cream soda, a beer, and the celery juice mocktail. Service was wonderful and food was delicious!

We ordered take out for 5 adults on August 18, 2023 during our trip to Denver. We ordered 5 items. The two pizzas, "Peppers" and "Cart-Driver" tasted ok other than the crust getting soggy. The salad was ok. However the Duck and Mushroom Ravioli and the Pork Bolognese portions were so small that we really felt cheated. The portions were not nearly enough for one person. They tasted pretty good, but the meal was ruined by our feeling that we were not given reasonable portions. We will not go back

One of the best pizza spots in Denver! I haven't tried any other dishes than their pizza but I'm sure they're as delicious! We tried the daisy and also the white pizza. The daisy is more traditional but the sauce and fresh basil make it really standout! The white pizza is also so good! It's the perfect blend of cheesy and creamy. These are both more simple pizzas but I think that speaks to their quality that they were still so good! Would definitely recommend these two!

I actually think this place is highly overrated. When I moved to Denver, everyone hyped this place up. The menu is limited and the pizzas are just average, not to mention it's always crowded so the service is very slow. I would definitely recommend going to Blue Pan for pizza over here.

Would like to return sometime and try the pizza. It looked fantastic on other diner's table. I had a pasta dish - pappardelle bolognese dish. That is my favorite type of pasta and it didn't disappoint. The sauce was not all that impressive. Also had a farmer's salad which was good. Good service. Cute spot.

Wood-fired pizza, pasta made in-house, oysters and an amazing cocktail menu, what's not to love?! I've made it a point to try something new every time I've been into Cart-Driver and they make it so easy to want to do so because everything is so delicious. If you're in the Denver area and have the ability to frequent Cart-Driver, then I recommend always making it a point to incorporate their seasonal plates into your dining experience because they're always worth it. I've always sat at or near the bar and the bartenders are happy to give you on menu or off menu drink advice, including some amazing non-alcoholic options too. Some of my favorites from my last visit: Market Oysters - the mignonette is the perfect pairing in my opinion Chicken Liver Mousse - absolute yes if whoever I'm with is a mousse person, although I probably could finish it all to myself Butternut Squash Caramelle Peppers Pizza Brown Butter Brownie as the perfect final touch for us.

I'm a pizza aficionado - owned and created a gourmet pizza place that was very successful for 30 years. This crust is as good as any I've ever had! And anyone who knows what makes pizza great knows it's all about the crust! To top that, they also have delicious topping combinations! The aesthetics of the space is great. One hiccup: the service was atrocious in one regard: I was with a friend and they attempted to bring our sardine/warm bread appetizer and both pizzas all at once! It's shitty that the state of the restaurant industry is to make this practice normal. If all the food is brought at once, some gets cold. And pizza is one of those foods in which the most ideal enjoyment is right out of the oven. So I told them to not bring the second pizza for 20 minutes so we could enjoy it hot. The server claimed I was going to cause the kitchen to need to work past the time they closed. This wasn't true because it was 9:35 when I made this request and they close at 10:00. In addition - WTF?! Since when does a kitchen not accept that sometimes the kitchen will be making food after they stop seating people because late evening diners are going to come in. If you say you are open till 10, that means you are seating people TILL 10! Our server never should've tried to strong arm me into accepting the pizza then and there. His rudeness blew me away. I stuck to my need and got the pizza when I wanted. And we weren't even the last ones to leave the restaurant. Truly shameful behavior!

One of my favorite Denver restaurants is all grown up and moved to the burbs! I was thrilled to hear that Cart Driver was opening a new, and more importantly larger location. As much as I love the RiNo spot, it can get pretty cramped in the winter. The new space in the Highlands is well done and thoughtfully planned out. With not one, but two bars, and lots of varied seating- bar stools, booths, and tables, you can find a spot to watch the action in the kitchen or cozy up for a more intimate night. The menu has been expanded to include a few more pizzas, snacks, and cocktails but has kept some of the fan favorites like the Cart Driver pizza and the chicken liver mousse. We ordered, found a spot in the back, and waited no more than 5 minutes for our apps to show up. The chicken liver mousse is as good as always but I wasn't a fan of the added accouterments- the fennel salad and apple sauce-y spread kinda missed the mark for me. The staff was friendly and attentive and were quick to bus empty plates. As always the pizzas were to die for and we left full and happy. Definitely a different vibe than the RiNo location, but same great food. If you are looking for a more slow paced relaxed night than the madness in RiNo, this is the place.

Really cute place and I wished I would have eaten in rather than taken away. Me and my grandmother decided to do the "date night" package they offer. Perfect for 2 people - an app, a salad, a pizza, bottle of wine, and a dessert - all for $65. Great price, pretty great food. Unfortunately our pizza was super cold and I even picked up before our designated pick up time... wish they had a warming area for take out orders. Friendly staff at pick up and really cool space - definitely want to come back and enjoy the many bar areas with fresh and hot pizza!

One of my favorite pizzas I have ever had. Go back every few months sometimes multiple times a weekend. Solid wine and drinks too. Usually pretty busy but you get seated quick enough
