Colorado Springs has pizza and Italian restaurants that differ in more than location. The city offers New York-style pies, a vast Victorian dining room, classic sauces, cocktail-led dinners and even Caribbean-Italian fusion.
Pizza with a recognizable style
Fargo’s Pizza Co. serves handmade pizza beside a self-service salad bar in a Victorian-inspired space with seating for 500. The scale and decor separate it from a standard neighborhood pizzeria.
Leon Gessi New York Pizza specializes in New York-style pies. Subs and calzones broaden the menu, while the dining room has a warm, relaxed feel.
Slice 420 combines pizza with subs, salads and desserts. A patio adds an outdoor option for the meal.
Bambino’s Urban Pizzeria covers pizza, pasta, salads and familiar Italian dishes in a casual format. The broad menu gives mixed groups more latitude than a pie-only shop.
Italian cooking beyond pizza
Paravicini’s Italian Bistro focuses on traditional Italian dishes and house-made sauces. Its rustic trattoria setting has a lively dinner atmosphere.
Red Gravy pairs Italian classics with craft cocktails. Brick and wood shape the dining room, and the restaurant also has a full bar and small patio.
Rasta Pasta combines Caribbean and Italian influences. Jamaican beer, rum and a reggae-themed atmosphere accompany the fusion menu.
Mollica’s Italian Market and Deli centers on Italian subs and pizza in a family-owned eatery. A small takeaway market and deli extend the business beyond seated dining.
