Updated and tasty, makes the “old school” list as the original bar merits it, and it used to be the last biz on that side of the street, with unbeatable rooftop views before the St Julien hotel went up.

I could have marked this as “sightseeing”, but we sometimes find it’s worth the beautiful drive to have their top notch pizza. The sourdough for each pie is on a 3 day cycle so they aren’t fooling around. It made our daughter a pizza snob.

For great Taiwanese fast and casual dishes, this place was started by a restaurant owner to give his Taiwanese mom something to do when she moved to Boulder. She’s still at it and has expanded to Denver as well!
