Wood-fired pizzas, artisanal appetizers, and an extensive wine list
"Celebrate Hannukah and New Year’s Eve in one fell swoop at this more casual sibling to the famed Frasca Food and Wine next door: Humorously transforming itself for the night into Pizzeria Bubbie’s, it’s serving up a four-course meal of “Jewish favorites with an Italian twist,” including latkes with radicchio salad, pastrami pizza, and honey-glazed dough puffs ($85 per person plus $55 for optional wine pairings)." - Ruth Tobias
"On the eastern stretch of Pearl Street I note Pizzeria Locale as one of Boulder’s top eateries mentioned alongside other neighborhood mainstays." - Josie Sexton
"A fast-casual pizza concept launched in 2011 by the owners of a Boulder fine-dining restaurant, it began with an original location in Boulder, opened its first Denver spot five years ago in collaboration with a national partner, and expanded into the Midwest starting in 2015 following that partner’s expansion formula. The brand announced it will permanently close several Midwest outlets—five locations in Kansas City and Cincinnati—effective June 27 to refocus growth on Denver; it plans to keep its remaining Colorado stores (including two Denver locations and the original Boulder location) and is scouting new Denver-area sites. The pullback coincides with the national partner’s broader strategic changes under a new CEO, including a headquarters move to California and new menu experiments." - Josie Sexton
"A worthy roadside destination on Pearl Street serving pizza Napoletana in a relaxed yet polished setting that blends traditional Italian touches with a bit of American punk attitude. Start with arancini risotto balls and a glass from an extensive, brag-worthy wine list, then try standout pies such as the vongole — topped with manila clams, ’nduja, garlic, lemon, and parsley — or the diavola featuring San Marzano tomato, smoked mozzarella, salame piccante, and chili." - Gigi Sukin
Frasca Hospitality’s lively Southern Italian spot serves lunch daily; Eater Denver lists it among Boulder’s best. Expect crisp, wood-fired pies, fritti, and salads—ideal for a leisurely midday meal steps from the Pearl Street action.
