Attivo Pizzeria & Bar, Denver

Attivo Pizzeria & Bar‘s chefs take their DIY work ethic seriously. It starts not when they make dough, cheese, and sauce from scratch (which they do), but when they brew up their own yeast. The kitchen team crowns the resulting pies with toppings ranging from the familiar pepperoni, pesto, and spinach to inventive garnishes, such as creamy mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, or lasagna. Servers can pour wine or ice-cold beer to complement plates of spaghetti and meatballs or vodka-sauce ravioli, and enormous 16-inch subs deliver tasty payloads of baked cheesesteak, roast beef in jalapeño sauce, and capicola. Catered meals and take-and-bake packages deliver Attivo's freshly made Italian food to remote locations, supplying parties with ample supplies of calzones, veggie sub box lunches, and garlic bread.
