My expectations for Little Arthur’s were sky-high — and it still managed to surpass them.
We ordered a pepperoni pizza and a cooper sharp cheesesteak. The cheesesteak was, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had. Not just in Denver, but anywhere. The freshly made sesame seed roll was fantastic and the ratio of meat to cheese was perfect. The chef came to our table and let us know the pizza was going to come out about 10 minutes late because they overcooked the first one, which was no big deal to us. He came back around a few minutes later with a complimentary pepperoncini wedge salad, which was a very nice gesture. The salad was bomb by the way, very garlicky and creamy, and the addition of bread crumbs made from the leftover sesame seed rolls added a great textural component. Lastly, the pizza came out and I could tell just by looking at it that it was going to be great. The quality of ingredients really stuck out here—the tomato sauce tasted simple and fresh, the mozzarella was delicious, and the crust was on point. It had almost no flop, despite the slices being huge. It was crunchy with just the right amount of char and chew. Unquestionably a top-5 pizza in Denver.
I’ve seen quite a few people complain about the prices here, but we found those concerns to be overblown. At face value, it seems expensive, but the portions are huge. The cheesesteak is big enough to share, unless you’re very hungry. The pizza is massive and would comfortably feed four. We spent $68 with tip, but it is going to end up being two meals for my wife and I. For this quality of food, that’s absolutely worth the price tag.
Absolutely fantastic, we’ll be back soon to show some friends. I’m also dying to try the whiz wit now that I’ve had the cooper sharp.
