Colorado may not be as known for its pizza as places like Chicago and New York, so out-of-towners are often surprised to learn that the Centennial State is home to some mouthwatering pizzerias of its own! That being said, the next time you are craving a pie, skip the generic chains and opt for REAL pizza from someplace like Amici’s in Colorado.

Located in Wheat Ridge, Amici's Pizzeria & Italian (or Fanelli's Amici's) is a family-owned-and-operated restaurant that has been delighting Denver's tastebuds since the 1970s.

While the atmosphere is reason enough to visit Amici's, the food may just steal the show, beginning with rich options like authentic sandwiches and calzones, gigantic plates of homemade pasta, and desserts as good as nonna used to make.
