*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW holy crust! I haven't had Sicilian pizza since my diagnosis, and this did not disappoint. We got the hot honey pepperoni and the triple threat - both very good!! We also had to try the green chili cheese bread and chicken strips, delicious. The sauces were also yummy:) we got the house buttermilk ranch, strippers' special sauce, and tangy BBQ. The restaurant has EXTENSIVE practices put in place to take care of allergies (they have a whole portion of their website online to talk about GF. The staff were very kind and I did not get sick.
Really enjoyed this pizza spot! Would definitely recommend to anyone with a Gluten allergy. Took a friend who is extremely cautious re: cross contamination and they were extremely knowledgeable and answered all her questions! Her gluten free pizza was delicious, and our regular pizza was the same! Quick counter service with your typical pizza-shop ambiance. Will definitely come back here!
Love dough counter. Awesome NY and Sicilian style za by the slice or whole. Incredible dough. Would definitely put it amongst the top pizza spots in denver. Staff are super nice and the restaurant space is cool. They did a great job with the shop. Bug fan of the hot honey pep and the triple threat. Haven't had the big mac or chicken parm but they are next on the wish list. Highly recommend a stop by for some great pizza in Denver away from the madness of downtown.
This place was amazing! If you are needing gluten free options this is the place for incredible pizza! You will be surprised with their thick, crispy gluten free dough! Literally obsessed with this place!
I love the retro diner vibes! Pizza is really great although I prefer the Detroit. They are HUGE! Thicker than blueplan IMO and tastes very similar without the crazy crowd and slow service. New York is thin large and delicious but same price to the Detroit so you're going to get more food for a better price. Detroit dough is surprisingly light fluffy soft yet has the perfect crunch!!! Love all of their sauces too
I love this pizza! I'm always searching for great Sicilian style like I grew up on. Now this isn't the pizza from my childhood - it's even better. They not only have Sicilian, they have NY style too, so everyone is happy. Pizza isn't the only thing served here they have - Chicken Strips, Fries, Starters, Salads & even a display case of Desserts. Dough Counter is located in the University Hills Plaza, with plenty of parking. The inside is cute, with a checkerboard floor, booths, tables & pendant lighting. And... stacks & stacks of pizza boxes, that actually add to the ambiance & decor, as well as background music & a big screen TV. There is also outdoor seating & a separate party room. We arrived on a late Sunday afternoon & was surprised to see many of the tables filled as well as the party room. A friendly employee took our order at the counter & gave us a number to place on the table, they bring the food to you. Other than that everything is self service - plates, silverware, fountain drinks/water & seasonings/condiments. The pizzas were wood fired, with deliciously crispy & crunchy crusts. I really enjoyed that there wasn't a ton of sauce too. The NY style came with tomato sauce & mozzarella cheese. This was good but the Sicilian was the star...absolutely wonderful! It's a light pan pizza (5-day rise dough), with spicy cupped pepperoni, nicely balanced with brick cheese & a dollop of ricotta cheese plus a hot honey drizzle on top. Memorable, crave-able & delectable!
I got a small triple threat sicilian style pizza to go. I love how generous they were with the sauce and liked the marinara the most. I feel like the vodka sauce got a bit lost in the other flavors but was still very tasty. The bread was super fluffy and light and I definitely think the size is worth the price. My only complaint was that it was super salty so I was only able to eat a bit at a time.
Such a cute and clean store! Was empty around 2 pm on a Saturday. Loved the loaded baked potato pizza we had! So yummy and the crust was still perfect with all the toppings. Wish the fries were crispy but that's my only complaint. We requested bacon on only half of the pizza. They did a great job making sure that the slices were perfect and the half with bacon didn't have any on it! Service was so nice as well! Would definitely return!
Wow - this is the best pizza I've had while living in Denver! I have had multiple cheese pies from here, along with trying many of their specialty flavors, and everything I have had has been incredible. For the plain cheese pizza, this is easily the closest thing to an authentic New York-style slice I have had in Denver. I also love Sicilian pizza, and this is definitely top notch. I am not one to deviate from a plain pie, but the specialty pies here are amazing - especially the Triple Threat and Chicken Parm. They have amazing gluten-free and celiac safe options which is incredible for pizza. I did try some and it is easily the best gluten free pizza I have ever tried. My only gripe would be the location. There is usually a lot of traffic in the area which can make getting the pizza a 30+ minute ordeal which might not be hot be ideal especially if doing take-out. Definitely recommend trying this spot for pizza. Great options and great taste! Will definitely return.
We came her because I saw an gluten free Instagram influencer (CollegeCeliacKC) did a video on their gluten free Sicilian pizza. The pizza was so good! I haven't had much pizza with a crust thicker (or fluffier than) a cracker since I had to become gluten free, so this was a real treat. It reminded me of deep dish pizza but more crust forward instead of sauce and topping heavy. It's an informal atmosphere but they had cute booths and decor. The staff were helpful and attentive.
