We asked you to crown the top slice in town—and after 73 votes, the results are piping hot. Whether you’re team thin crust, wood-fired, or deep dish (we see you, Chicago expats), Boulder locals came through with strong opinions and even stronger cravings.
🥇 1st Place: Audrey Jane’s Pizza Garage (30%)
Local legend status: confirmed. Audrey Jane’s snagged the top spot by a big margin, and fans swear by the NY-style crust, creative toppings, and that neighborhood charm. It’s the kind of place you bring out-of-towners to prove Boulder does know how to do pizza right.
🥈 2nd Place (Three-Way Tie at 11%):
• Proto’s Pizza – Classic, coal-fired, and consistent. A LoHi-to-Boulder fave.
• Pizzeria Alberico – Modern, Italian-inspired, and family-owned—this spot is rising fast.
• Barchetta – Buzzy, beautiful, and built for Boulder: Barchetta’s elevated pies and patio scene are winning hearts (and votes).
🍕 Honorable Mention:
• Pizza Colore (10%) – A longtime Pearl Street go-to for fast, satisfying slices and a no-fuss vibe.
• Fringe: A Well-Tapped Eatery (8%) – This east Boulder hangout delivers on unique crusts and a huge tap list.

Backcountry Pizza & Tap House – 2319 Arapahoe Ave
Brooklyn’s Pizza – A hidden gem for a classic slice fix
Abo’s Pizza – 2761 Iris Ave (and still repping that old-school Boulder style)
