Patxi's "deep dished"
Location: 185 Steele St. Denver, CO 80206
Hey Chicago natives, let's set one ting straight, I am not an "expert" on "getting deep dished"! I also do not need certification to talk about a style of pizza that originates in the land of Lincoln, but I will offer you a slice of my deep dish background. My first deep dish encounter was at a Pizzeria Uno connected to a mall outside of Cleveland, Ohio. However, as I grew to be a man I had traveled to Chicago many times and tried some of your deep dish heavyweights like Giordano's, Lou Malnati's, and Gino's East... therefore I understand what to expect from a Chicago-style deep dish. With that said, I don't see deep dish getting much better in Denver than Patxi's. It had a crisp yet flaky crust, and a heavy base of quality cheese lying underneath a solid chunky tomato sauce. I think the crust could have more butter or seasoning, but at the same time it does not need to steal the show from the hefty innards that define a Chicago style deep dish pizza. Please don't complain about the time it takes to bake, that is what makes it deep dish. (These pies are not sent down a conveyer belt every 8 minutes) The staff at Patxi's is not hiding anything from you, after ordering a deep dish pizza they will soundly inform you to expect a 40-45 minute bake time... so try to hold an engaging conversation or ignore the person you are dining with and send someone else a 40 minute stream of meaningless text messages.
* Patxi's allows dine in guests the opportunity to call in their order to decrease the wait time
* Patxi's offers a vegan deep dish with vegan cheese
