Let me tell you about my favorite pizza in Denver! I used to live here and coming back to blue pan is a staple in every trip I take. The whipped ricotta topping is literally a love language. We enjoyed the little rose and had to add the whipped ricotta on top, naturally. The Detroit style crust is sooo good. And that hot honey truly is chefs kiss. Thank you for dinner!

Wow. Delicious Detroit style pies, or should I say squares. We ordered the southwest BBQ with the honey heat sauce for dipping. We also ordered the Brooklyn Bridge with the cupping pepperoni, garlic, Italian Sausage, etc and it was very tasty. Be sure to get the Arancini dipped in the sugo as an appetizer! Our servers came by our table often and made sure our drinks were OK and you can have your choice of tables or booths in the dining area. I'll be back!

Took my brother and his family to Blue Pan while they were visiting, and it was a hit. Everyone loved it--especially the kids, who practically inhaled the pizza before I even got a second slice. We went for two Detroit-style pizzas (Brooklyn Bridge and half orders of Parma Italia and Diavola) and one New York-style cheese. I only managed to snag a slice of the cheese, but wow--it was one of the best I've had in Colorado. The crust? Absolute perfection. Not too doughy, thin but still sturdy enough to hold the sauce and cheese without getting floppy. For sides, we got a large Magnolia salad, eggplant fries, and arancini to share. The salad was great, and I loved the candied walnuts--such a nice sweet crunch. My only tiny gripe (purely a preference) is that I wish it had a bit more dressing. The fried apps were solid--crispy, savory, and a crowd-pleaser all around. I wanted to take pics, but everyone grabbed food so fast that it just wasn't happening. The only miss of the lunch was my guava passion fruit seltzer. It was the last pour from the tap and came out funky and cloudy. Luckily, our server was awesome and let me switch it out for a different beer, no problem. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, and we squeezed into a corner booth that barely fit us (and all our winter jackets). Since they don't take reservations, we were lucky to get seated as walk-ins. Definitely a busy spot, but that's expected--it's easily one of the best pizza places around. Heads up on parking: it's street parking only, but not impossible to find a spot. Do not park in the lot next door--I heard it belongs to the pharmacy, and they're strict about towing. Overall, Blue Pan lives up to the hype. If you love pizza, this place needs to be on your list.

This review is long overdue, but even though I haven't visited in a while, I can confidently say that Blue Pan serves the best pizza in Denver by a longshot. The ambiance isn't great--it's a small, often crowded spot--but the pizza more than makes up for it. The crispy, caramelized cheese edges and rich, flavorful toppings make every bite incredible. Grateful to have Blue Pan in this city. A must-try.

Yummy Detroit style pizza, which a deep dish pie. I'm not usually a fan of thick crust, but Blue Pan is the exception. The crust is almost pastry like, it's crunchy, and so flavorful, the sauce is tangy and the Wisconsin brick cheese has a hint of Swiss cheese and the toppings were all delicious. I have chased the food truck at different breweries, but this was our first time eating in this restaurant. We got lucky at lunch. There was no wait. Expect a 90 minute wait for dinner, why I find where the truck is... Great service and cool art on the walls. The pepperoni is wonderful and the cremini mushrooms are fresh and plentiful. The gardinera peppers were plentiful. The sausage is great, but the pepperoni is the star here. The small Greek pizza was filled with fresh ingredients. I'd love if it was more chopped, but it was all delicious. I'm obsessed with Blue Pan Pizza!

Blue Pan is my go to for pizza here in Colorado. The best I've had. My favorite is obviously any of the Detroit style specialty pizzas. Lately I have been favoring the gold hill & sweetie pie.The menu is chock full of delicious apps & so many specialties to choose from. All their pizzas are customizable with different toppings. Half & half options so you can eat your way through all the different sweet salty & savory combinations. They also serve up gluten free options here, as well as tavern or New York style pizza. Servers are all knowledgeable of menu & the space is always super clean. The vibe here majority of the time is crowded. Cozy up get to the know the person next to you. There's always the usual Hustle & bustle of the delivery orders and locals catching up. It's what looks like a Full bar and extensive drink menu. I myself am not a big drinker, but Grab a nice tall one & enjoy a square or two or three. Check em out!

I'm normally a NY style pizza fan and tried Detroit style pizza for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised! The dough was airy, fluffy with a great chew! The service from the team was amazing. There was a little wait on a Sunday night near closing time (we arrived at 7:50, the wait was 30 mins and they close at 9). We decided on what to order while waiting and ordered as soon as we sat down. The dining room was clean and open. Beers tasty and so were the food. The eggplant fries was something to call home about and I'm still dreaming about it. We ordered the Large Brooklyn Bridge and this particular one was a bit too greasy and salty to my taste. Flavor was there for sure. I will have to come back and try some of their other offering... maybe the ones w arugula might cut the oil a bit. Overall an excellent experience and happy I finally got a chance to try them out.

We got to try Blue Pan Pizza for lunch and were quickly seated for lunch with a party of 2. We ordered the eggplant fries and a large Detroit style pizza half and half 313 and Parma Italia. The fries were BOMB, would absolutely get them again, the aioli and marina combo was delicious. We really enjoyed the pizza, I personally preferred the Parma Italia because I like the red sauce on this za. Overall really good and excited to come back and try more! Spot is small and not a ton of large party seating so be prepared to wait if you have a large group!

I'm honestly mad at myself for not coming here sooner because I understand why blue pan pizza is a fan favorite. My brother and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon because we were craving pizza and I knew blue pan is talked about highly. We ordered the: - Louie Louie (New York style) - Eggplant Fries Those eggplant fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and eggplant still had the perfect bite to it. The pizza we chose was perfect! Extra cheesy and flavorful. The crust could have been a littttle crispier in the middle but that's alright it's not the end of the world. This is a smaller location so be aware if you're going at peak times as it will be a longer wait. The staff helping were great and full of recommendations. We will be back!!
