Three Guys Pies
Location: 1501 E. Colfax Ave. Denver, CO 80218 (Inside Streets of London)
Underrated in the pizza scene, this review of three Guys Pies comes after more than my fair share of contact with their product. Thus my review will not be of one slice, but a plethora of slices from various days of the week and various times of day. For those of you who enjoy New York style pizza, this slice has potential to satisfy you unless you are one of those people who hate everything and would not admit you like pizza from Denver because you are an asshole. I am a transplant, and I will admit that many transplants complain that nothing is as good as the pizza back at home. However, when you get chocolate cake at Kentucky Fried Chicken, why would you complain? KFC never promised to be better than your favorite childhood bakery, they just offer chocolate cake for some reason. Just like Denver never said to move here because they are the epicenter of pizza, but they will offer the product.
At Three Guys Pies, you will not need more than two slices, because consumption of two slices is a commitment to being full for 4+ hours. Unlike a lot of new pizza shops on the scene, Three Guys is a hard working blue collar pie. Sometimes I just wanna take a hot slice of Three Guys pizza and smash it in the face of a crossfitter rolling a tractor wheel down the sidewalk. I want to make a statement that pizza should not be low carb, gluten free, low fat, or derived from mega grains!
The dough is satisfying, thin underneath, and girthy at the end when you need it most. The sauce is present, unlike many of its Denver contemporaries. Never forget pizza train rule #3, if there is not enough sauce, there is not a good reason to call it pizza. The cheese is good, and when hot, it will stretch from table to mouth. The toppings are spread with consistency, making sure each bite has topping involvement. Caution: Canned mushroom alert! For those of you who can't get past canned mushrooms, may I suggest the green pepper? They are freshly chopped and ready to sit next to the pepperoni on your slice. Each slice is served at fighting weight, but in true NYC form, it requires a fold for the first 3 or 4 bites in order to gain control. The price is right at Three Guys Pie! If you eat here as opposed to its Colfax peer, Fat Sully's, the average pizza lover will save about $50 a year... That is assuming the average pizza lover has at least one street slice a week.
