Just east of Denver, Aurora is known for its diversity, mountain-fresh air, and vibrant food scene—including some seriously good pizza.
Whether you crave wood-fired Neapolitan, family-style Sicilian, or big, foldable New York slices, here’s where Aurora’s pizza truly shines in 2025:
1. Mondo’s Pizza
A hometown legend, Mondo’s delivers big on classic East Coast-style pies—thin, hand-tossed, and cut into huge slices perfect for folding.
Locals rave about the “Godfather” (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions), the “Buffalo Chicken,” and the generous family combo deals.
The friendly team and no-nonsense counter service give it all the divey charm you expect from a real slice shop.
2. Guido’s Pizza Genesee
Authentic Italian hand-me-down recipes set Guido’s apart.
Their menu is varied, but pizza is the main event: chewy, slightly charred crust, San Marzano-style sauce, and stretchy mozzarella.
“The Guido’s Special” (sausage, onion, mushrooms, peppers) is always popular, along with their spinach or BBQ chicken pies.
Try the homemade tiramisu for dessert.
3. Sam’s No. 3 Aurora
Don’t let “diner” in the name fool you—Sam’s serves shockingly good pizzas in addition to the massive breakfast menu.
Their kitchen dishes up thick, cheesy pies with a robust sauce and fluffy, flavorful crust, including gluten-free and veggie specialties.
The “Deluxe” and “Greek” pies are hits.
Sam’s is always buzzing with locals and is perfect for groups or families.
4. Pizzeria Louie
One of Aurora’s best new spots, Pizzeria Louie specializes in wood-fired, Neapolitan-inspired pizzas—soft, charred edges and delightfully creative toppings.
The “Salsiccia” (Italian sausage and herbs), “Funghi” (wild mushrooms), and prosciutto arugula pies have elevated Aurora’s pizza game.
The modern, lively dining room and rotating local beers make it a hit with foodies.
5. Big Bill’s New York Pizza
A true “Tri-State” pie—big, foldable, thin and stretchy.
Loved for their “Big Bill’s Special” and the monster “Empire State Deluxe,” Bill’s draws crowds for sports nights and casual lunches.
The family ownership, community events, and New York–style desserts keep regulars coming back year after year.
