Hand-pressed dough, thin, slightly scorched crusts, garden-fresh, housemade sauce, creamy ricotta and flavorful mozzarella, and a litany of fresh ingredients this is authentic Italian pizza served in brightly colored, artsy surrounds. Its a place where couples share bites of chocolate chip-studded cannolis, families devour seam-busting strombolis, and solo diners sidle up to the counter for plate spanning single slices of cheesy goodness. Virgilios parades 17 specialty pizzas that range from the House Favorite white pizza topped with ricotta, garlic, sausage, sundried tomatoes and spinach; to the Dean Martin with bacon, garlic and fresh basil. Beyond pizza are olive oil-slicked pinwheels stuffed with spinach, ricotta, garlic and mozzarella, doughy garlic knots, gobble-worthy calzones, spaghetti and meatballs and oven-hot heros. The clamorous happy hour, which runs from 3pm-6pm daily, flaunts great deals on wines and beer.

Worth a drive!

No Neapolitan wannabe, this is the real thing! Crisp, thin, delicious crust, divine tomato sauce, and lots of topping choices. Try the bacon and spinach -- to die for! Don't miss sampling the garlic knots - bliss in a bite! The staff is super-friendly -- Virgilio's only problem is going to be how to expand!

The Best In Colorado By Far!
By prostarprs on 03/28/2006
I was hoping this would be my little "find" but the word of mouth has definitely made this little place one of the hottest pizza places around. There is nothing I don't like about it. The pizza is simply the best in Colorado -- and I grew up in pizza-heaven, the NY Metro area. The crust is unbelievable; the sauce is perfect. My favorite is the Margherita. Fresh basil, garlic...fresh mozzarella. Add a Verde salad which has freshly carmelized walnuts on it with great balsamic dressing. A Moretti beer imported from Italy. Top it off with a Canolli... What's better? I'll tell you -- getting it for about 1/2 price. I signed up on their website for their email list and I get coupons every week. Yes, I'm biased -- I want this place to do well so I can continue to finally eat a GREAT pizza in Colorado. I am so tired of the novelty pizzas out here!

Best Pizza In Denver
By pizzaboyusa1 on 05/12/2006
It's a shame that Virgilio's was not on the best pizza in Denver list. This place has the best pie. You must try it!!! www.virgiliospizzeria.com. The garlic knots, stromboli, spinach pinwheels, calzones are all great.
