Denver: Great food, great atmosphere
Denver, Colorado, is home to a multitude of great people, great atmospheres, and fantastic food for any palate. With an emphasis on sustainable living, many local restaurants use local, organic ingredients, and they have plenty of options for those with gluten allergies. With unique experiences that range from authentic Neapolitan pizza to cliff diving inside a Mexican restaurant, Denver has it all.
Pizza
Pizza is a perennial favorite of many. There are pizza places in every city, and Denver is no exception. Proto's Pizza has gotten national acclaim from "Bon Appetit" magazine as well as multiple local acclamations. Beau Jo's Pizza is a local gem that has a gluten-free menu, a contest for those with very hearty appetites, and in the spirit of Denver's green scene uses sustainable energy from sources such as wind.
