"Joy Hill may look a bit like an artisanal Pizza Hut, but you aren’t there for the atmosphere. You’re there for the knockout, wood-fired sourdough pies. That’s because if you, like us, are in constant pursuit of exceptional crust, your journey will inevitably lead you to Joy Hill. Naturally leavened and leopard-like with charred bubbles, the tang and texture are so perfect that you could eat the crust plain. But you won’t do that because that’s weird—not to mention the toppings are pretty special, too, like fire-roasted sweet corn, local bison chorizo, pickled jalapeño, and creamy burrata. Sit at the divey bar up front or on the rooftop patio to avoid the whole ’90s pizza chain vibe." - allyson reedy
"Despite the unfortunate timing of its grand opening just before the pandemic, the arrival of this homage to the fern bars of the 1970s on South Broadway’s Antique Row proved auspicious thanks to the kitchen’s earnest craft. The organic dough undergoes a natural two-day fermentation to yield a crust that’s paper-thin yet somehow sturdy on bottom, chewy at the edges, and tangy all over, while the topping combos are as flavorful as they are thoughtful (not to mention veggie-centric). Must-tries include the Hunter with bison chorizo, cheddar, green-chile ranch dressing, pickled jalapeños, and cilantro as well as the That 70’s Pie with three cheeses (including feta), arugula pesto, baby kale, roasted golden beets, and red onion." - Paul Albani-Burgio
"One of Denver’s top pizzerias is also one of its best bets for rooftop relaxation. Come for the sourdough pies and snappy drinks from the smartly curated bar; stay for the glow that suffuses the partially covered patio, strung with lights and dotted with potted plants, as the sun sets over the mountains." - Eater Staff
