Pino’s

WOW! the restaurant just re-​opened after a major expansion and upgrade. It is beautiful and the new menu is delicious. Finally a neighborhood restaurant that offers fine dining. BRAVO PINO

Chicken Parm is oh so good…
Now open after remodel. One of the best neighborhood restaurants in Denver. Pizza is very good. The owner Is very friendly and greets guests. Very hands on. Chefs table is great.

The best pizza. Great service, stellar owners. It’s the greatest in Cherry Hills/​Englewood/​SE Denver.

Absolutely the worst service ever and can get much better Italian food down the street. Should never talk bad about a customer to other customers, especially right by behind us.

Pino’s used to be one of my favorite places, but I was sadly mistaken once I was mistreated by the owner in front of multiple customers. 2 others and myself were enjoying happy hour and an appetizer. We were planning to order dinner until the owner came to our table and stated «I don’t care about your ‘$ 30 dollar tab’ so give me your credit card and leave» just because we weren’t ordering meals at that time. He then proceeded to talk about us out loud to the customers waiting for a table. Never have I never been so embarrassed and disrespected. I vowed to never spend another penny at Pino’s as there are plenty of family oriented Italian places in Denver with a lot friendlier people.

We were very happy with our experience here at Pino’s. The owner greeted us and was very friendly. The restaurant was very busy. Every table was taken except for one and it was a Tuesday night. We were a party of four so the one table left was perfect for us.
We ordered 2 calzones, the Rustica pizza, and the stuffed shells florentine. Drinks were inexpensive and food was reasonably priced. Overall, we were all very pleased with Pino’s. We’re considering returning for dinner tomorrow.

This place is amazing! We were welcomed by the owner, Pino, and sat at the bar just in time for happy hour. We ordered a $ 4 glass of the house Cab. and the Bruschetta as an appetizer. The bartender recommended the Jumbo Shells Florentine, Lasagna and the Rustica pizza. I went with the Florentine and it was delicious! Everything tasted fresh and authentic and was the perfect portion size, which allowed room for the Tiramisu (also recommended by the bartender). Very yummy!
Service was friendly, helpful and attentive. After our meal, Pino sat and chatted with us for a few minutes. We can’t wait to go back and give the Rustica pizza a try! We will definitely be repeat customers.

I’m so hooked on the Rustica pizza is ridiculous. I asked the server for a recommendation on which pizza to order, and wow!!! I’m also hooked on the chocolate soufflé with ice cream served on top. Quality food, i recommend trying the place

I love Pinos! The pizza is amazing. I always order way too much because everything always sounds so good. I love going to Pinos because not only is it a welcoming environment and the food is delicious, it just feels like going to a friends because Pino himself is so welcoming!

Pino’s is a great authentic pizzeria Italiana. Being italian myself I searched for a long time for great pizza in Denver and I found a piece of home at Pino’s.
The owner, Pino, is always present to ensure the quality of food and service. He really is a great chef and real gentleman.
Always happy and exited to go for a meal at Pino’s.

This place is great, being a New Yorker I would say this is as close as you’ll get to the crust as it is in the city. The pizza is definitely memorable for Denver therefore my hubs and I find ourselves there a handful of times during the year! The wine selection is up to par too. This place won’t disappoint. The Veronese is our favorite!

I’ve had my fair share of yummy pizzas and not-​so-​yummy pizzas, and I can say, this place serves yummy ones!
The Garlic Cheese Strips come out on a round platter and looks like a pizza, but is actually cut up into garlic-​y, cheesy strips. The last time I came here, I ordered a medium Bianca — the ingredients were fresh and the pizza was hot! I had the double-​crusted Gourmet Spinach pizza once before, and it was very … thick and filling! Everyone had one slice and hit a wall; we took the rest home.
On portioning: I usually come here with two additional people and we always have leftovers when ordering garlic strips and an 18″ pizza. But, we love leftover pizza from Pino’s. It’s one of the greatest leftovers anyone can ask for!
Pino’s is a little pricier than your average pizza place (i.e. Dominos, Black Jack), but it’s definitely a lot yummier and not as greasy!
Also, the owner is always there and is really friendly! Stop by and bond with someone over hot, fresh pizza!

First off, I’d give 3.5 stars if I could and my review likely would have been bumped to 4 if I had dined in.
The place itself is quite small but we were treated to prompt and friendly service. Our order was placed by phone and we came away with the same impression from that interaction as well. It comes across as a quaint space, mildly intimate but not overly so.
For our pizza we had half Diavola and half Capricciosa. I like that they split pizzas and I thought the pricing was fair due to the quality of ingredients. However neither of these pizzas ‘rang true’ for me. The Diavola is spicy, as advertised, but most of the spice comes from an overuse of red pepper flakes instead of a balance of natural heat; I was glad I tried this slice second, otherwise I would not have been able to get a full scope of any other flavors. As far as the Capricciosa goes, it had an interesting flavor but nothing that delivered a ‘wow’ factor. The ingredients complemented each other well, the presentation was nice.
Overall I think this comes down to personal taste: I would have preferred a crisper crust but if that’s not what the business is going for then its not really a downside. The large selection of ingredients and available pizzas will lead me to likely try this place again, hopefully leaving me want seconds.

Pino’s is in every way, OUTSTANDING. Michael has been my server since day one, and has gotten my order down to a science. This is impressive, considering that Pino’s is constantly filled with happy customers. It’s comforting to know that no matter what, I know Michael will greet me with my Pino noir, and take care of the rest.
Another aspect that sets Pino’s apart is that Pino himself is actively involved in his restaurant, and his pride and passion is palpable among his staff. Whether, greeting all the regulars, or directing his crew on prep for his cooking classes… SOMETHING I VERY MUCH WANT TO TAKE PART IN… he’s not only a boss, but a leader.
Moreover, the food is crave-​worthy, and reminds me of Rita, my Italian nanny in NY. Not too sappy I hope, but I throughly enjoy Pino’s pizza.

I went to Pino’s for pizza for lunch and thought I would try my regular pizza that I order anywhere I go. Pepperoni with extra cheese. When I got the pizza all of the main ingredients were very good. The dough was thin and cooked perfect. The cheese was flavorful and a good quality cheese. The sauce was sweeter… but not too sweet… just like I like it. The pepperoni was also very good. The service was great and couldn’t have been better. My only complaint… they forgot the extra cheese. I always get extra cheese on my pizza and them forgetting it only served to remind me why I do. Without the extra cheese it was still very good… but not the way I wanted it. Still worthy of 4 stars… but with the extra cheese it probably would have been 5 stars.

I am in town from Phoenix and combed Unilocal to find someplace where I could have a nice glass of wine, some good food, and do some schoolwork — Pino’s had it all! In a tiny strip mall that I would have never stumbled on, this place did not disappoint. Super fresh food — I order the Meditteranea Salad and the Rustica. Both were super fresh and very yummy!
Sean waited on me and was awesome! Everyone was super friendly and you could tell that their patrons were regulars.
Be sure to stop into vino vino next door for a bottle of wine to add to your wine rack to enjoy later.
I will be back Pino’s!

Best pizza in Denver. Service is friendly the owner is always there and very sociable. We try to come every week, always the FRESHEST ingredients and leaves us craving our next visit!!!
Thank you Pinos!!!

I’m sorry, but I was under the impression that this place was an Italian restaurant… Not just some pizzeria. As an Italian, I’m somewhat offended that they claim to serve «authentic» Italians food, however when you walk in the first thing you see are tons of pre-​made boxed pasta stacked up to the ceiling.
I bit into my rigatoni and three of my noodles were completely uncooked and I thought I broke a tooth on that «authentically boxed» joke of an entrée.

Came here around 4:30 on a Thursday to meet a girlfriend for a drink and catch up. It was pretty empty, but it sure did fill up fast! By the time we left (around 6) it was packed! We were sitting at the bar and enjoyed a lovely conversation with good service. Wines are decently priced (though not an enormous selection). We shared a gluten free pizza that was delicious! The pesto pizza, I believe.
From the outside you’d have no idea what’s inside. We’re actually going to meet here again for our next get together in a few weeks, so that says a lot (because I like trying new places).

This really is 3 ½ stars. Don’t want to knock the place but felt the pizza was not that good for homemade, and the prices for booze were pretty steep.
Once you’ve had Home Slice in Austin, TX, its hard to give this place much praise.
GREAT place to take a date, small and cozy, inviting, friendly. Just be prepared to spend more than an average pizza joint and do not expect the pizza to blow your mind.
Would come back for the atmosphere and friendly service.
