Tony P's Pizza

Tony P's is owned and operated by Tony Pasquini and his mother Judy.  Originally know as Pasquini's....the name has changed due to some family legal issues. Tony P's has 2 locations in Denver.....one at 777 East 17th Ave, and the second located in the Highland area at 2400 West 32nd Ave.  On this occasion, we went to the one downtown on 17th.

Our menu book

Great place.....with a lot of character.  On the tables....for the drink and appetizer menus, they place these in different books on every table.....some are novels...some are children's books...and some are scientific books/journals.

Downstairs was a restaurant and a separate bar for drinks and high top tables.  Upstairs was a bar/banquet room with live music on Friday and Saturday nights.  The decor is an eclectic combination of old doors, scooters and artwork.

For pizza offerings, they have several versions and styles to choose from:

• Vegan cheese
• Gluten free
• Whole wheat crust
• New York style - Thick edge, thin in the middle
• Bianca Style - White pizza with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, mozzarella and basil
• Napolitana - One size, artisan style thin crust

For our pizza, we ordered a Napolitana artisan pepperoni.  The crust was hand stretched, and the pizza baked in a wood fired oven.

You can build your own pizza by selecting toppings from a menu of regular toppings, (olives, green peppers, jalapenos, mushrooms etc) or a menu of premium items (artichoke hearts, roasted chicken, portobello mushrooms, sausage links, sun dried tomatoes....). 

Being on 17th avenue in downtown Denver, this place has a night life vibe.  There are a lot of bars and other restaurants all long this section of 17th, and the crowds seem to be local who live in the area.

When we were there, the band for Friday night was just setting up their equipment for that nights show.

Along with great pizza, Tony P's offers a full menu of great Italian dishes, including calzones and dozens of pasta and specialty meals. Several type of ravioli and gluten free pasta dishes are also available.

Try Tony P's for great food and live music....you will not be disappointed.
