Stop 035: Lucky Pie (LoDo)



Lucky Pie

Location:  1610 16th Street, Denver CO




Lucky Pie is not afraid to offer an excellent selection of Colorado, California, and Oregon beers.  The atmosphere is comfortable and pleasant, the kind of place you would expect  to see a fat man in a pink polo shirt.   Actually,  when  I arrived  a fat man in a pink polo shirt got up and left, and 10 minutes later another fat man in a pink polo shirt rolled in with his crew in and replaced him.   I would like to believe this happens around the clock at Lucky Pie…
Now that you are comfortable, let me break down the pizza.  Lucky pie’s crust has a vibrant flavor which leans towards the garlic side of things.  Overall the crust was so flimsy it made me feel the way Pacman must feel when eating a ghost.  (By the way auto correct suggests Panama instead of Pacman)  The super model thin crust lacks the support needed to prevent droopiness, but when you get to the outer edge it is puffy and filling, almost as if it was powered by Viagra.  The sauce had a red-orange hue and a legitimate flavor I enjoyed.  I opted for the fresh mozzarella and basil pie and it was certainly fresh.   I saved a few slices for later and they really did not hold up cold.  Hence, I suggest you eat it while it’s hot.  If the crust was thick enough to hold its own, we would be looking at a 5 here, but due to its near transparency and its lack of ability to taste good when cold we will go with a solid 4.
