Maybe you’re celebrating a promotion, maybe you’re just craving that perfect slice, or maybe you’ve finally convinced your crew to venture beyond the usual spots. Whatever the reason, you’ve found yourself on a quest for Westminster’s finest pizza. Here’s where to start.
MOD Pizza
$ | (720) 417-7300 | WEBSITE
Sometimes you must ask yourself: is the aim of this quick meal situation to politely debate the merits of artisanal toppings, or is it to ensure that everyone gets a hot pizza in under ten minutes? If it’s the latter, MOD Pizza is your spot. This convenient and friendly fast food joint just off the main roads is open until 10pm most nights and there are plenty of clean tables to gather around.
Whether you’re here at noon or 9pm, expect a bright atmosphere, reasonable prices, and plenty of fresh ingredients.
Homegrown Tap & Dough
$$ | (720) 826-6550 | WEBSITE
Homegrown Tap & Dough is your quintessential lively, high-energy neighborhood pizza spot. There’s a chance that, thanks to this Westminster restaurant’s bustling atmosphere, your conversation might briefly get drowned out by the cheerful noise, but there’s also the huge reward of digging into their flavorful pesto or spicy sausage pizzas.
It’s perfect for both casual meals and date nights, and don’t be surprised if the intoxicating aroma of fresh dough and great cocktails has you already planning your next visit before you’ve finished your first slice.
Sarpino’s Pizzeria Westminster
$ | (720) 823-0600 | WEBSITE
We are powerless in the face of a deep dish pizza—any time, anywhere, any chance to feel spiritually connected to melted cheese. Sarpino’s Pizzeria Westminster is home to not one, but two vegan specialty pies, as well as a perfectly cooked crust that you can dutifully ignore if you stop by for delivery before the hunger pangs rise. It’s a little basic, a little greasy, and a little bit predictable—but we mean that in the most loving way possible.
Pizza Hut
$ | (303) 439-9003 | WEBSITE
Come evening Pizza Hut’s glowing sign gives everything a warm orange glow, the space fills up with families and groups, the ovens hum steadily, and the well-worn delivery bags begin to see some action. It’s a reliable night, with orders happening efficiently and customers spilling outside into the parking lot. Pizza Hut sends out comforting pies and other American classics from the kitchen of this Westminster spot, and the vegetarian pasta always satisfies.
Domino’s Pizza
$ | (720) 460-3555 | WEBSITE
While it might seem like every pizza chain in Colorado now promises speedy delivery and customizable pies, Domino’s Pizza has been delivering that consistent quality and convenience for decades. It’s located in a clean, well-lit space in Westminster with ample parking by Lowe’s, and in case your pizza standards aren’t already high, I can confirm that I’ve seen whole families and busy professionals happily grabbing their orders here on a Saturday afternoon.
Stop by around dinner time to pick up a perfectly cooked pepperoni pizza or build your own vegetarian creation, or thank the organized friend in your group with several slices for having the good sense to choose this reliable spot.
Massino’s Pizzeria
$ | (303) 430-9999 | WEBSITE
On weeknights, there’s a cozy neighborhood vibe at Massino’s Pizzeria. The hole-in-the-wall spot in Westminster is a longtime favorite for families craving something hearty and satisfying for a casual dinner and stone-oven cooked pizza. There are a load of delicious calzones and pasta dishes on the menu and while it’s not the most groundbreaking place to dine, it’s a small restaurant that’s tailor-made for even bigger appetites.
Pandora’s Box
$$ | (303) 731-6415 | WEBSITE
Pandora’s Box feels like a proper old-school speakeasy. There are classic movie posters lining the walls, a great beer selection, and specialty cocktails that make it an always-excellent choice for weeknight drinks or a weekend friend reunion that doubles as an excuse to catch the free comedy show. It’s been open with that history of good times, combined with creative mocktails for Dry January, making the Peach Daiquiri highly recommended.
While the seating may not be the most comfortable, the patio provides a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff are excited about offering great drinks. Weekly events like Dungeons and Dragons, Drag Queen Bingo, and Trivia nights keep it lively, and parking at Aspire is free for four hours.
Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom
$ | (303) 431-7707 | WEBSITE
Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom probably isn’t the first spot that comes to mind for a bit of group dining. But the main dining area at this Westminster outpost is spacious, with plenty of seating, and it’s a potential option for those seeking a casual experience with several people, midweek or on the weekend. There’s a range of items on the menu, a lot of beers on tap, a variety of drink options, and if you get peckish, Old Chicago’s pepperoni rolls appetizer is usually crispy and delicious.
However, the pizza can be less than hot and even undercooked, and service has been described as slow and impersonal, suggesting a possible staffing issue. Despite these inconsistencies, there are positive mentions of friendly staff, like Gavin, who provided excellent customer service, and the overall atmosphere remains a potential option for large groups and takeout orders.
BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse
$$ | (303) 389-6444 | WEBSITE
You’ve got to appreciate a Westminster local’s ability to walk into a bustling family-friendly brewhouse and think ‘perfect spot for a pizza that tastes like comfort food’s cheerful sibling’. BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is one of our favorites of the ‘welcoming staff, reliable classics’ genre. It has spacious indoor seating, there’s a solid menu with steaks and mashed potatoes alongside the pies, and in our experience a hot pizza and a side of those creamy potatoes rarely disappoints.
Servers like Britta and Hung make you feel right at home, and even when there’s a wait, their kindness and the tasty food make it worthwhile. The place caters to everyone—kids munching on fruit and goldfish appetizers while adults enjoy a satisfying meal with friendly service from folks like Ayde and Jessica, who always show patience and helpfulness.
Kokopelli Beer Company
$ | (303) 284-0135 | WEBSITE
Kokopelli Beer Company in Westminster is a lively spot with a spacious layout that suits group gatherings that grow as the evening progresses. The brightly lit brewpub has a local Colorado influence that appears in its beers as well as its food. Craft IPAs feature heavily, particularly in their house selections, and their Hawaiian pizza goes down very easily. We’ve also got their tasty garlic knots, if you fancy a pre or post-beer snack.
Blackjack Pizza & Salads
$ | (303) 426-9116 | WEBSITE
You could fit a whole Little League team, or maybe even the entire Westminster High School marching band, in Blackjack Pizza & Salads. It’s compact and despite being such a cozy, bustling neighborhood spot, this pizza joint always has a lively, community hub feel. During lunch, office workers pop in for a quick slice and come evening, hungry and happy pizza-lovers crowd the counter and game nights are celebrated over large pepperoni pies.
Last-minute planners, listen up—you can order online for pickup as smooth as Nick’s friendly service.
