42 - Basil Doc's 🍕

Paul and Megan visit a pizza place inside a boutique Western-themed hotel with Jaime and Chris. The pizza business is called Little Johnny B's, and it's inside Urban Cowboy. 

Megan and Paul visit the spot a lot of people are saying has the best pizza in the state. But is it all hype? It's Rosalee's Pizzeria in Longmont. Got a place we should try next? Email Paul at [email protected]. 

Paul and Megan return to the podcast after a years-long hiatus for a review of Whole Foods. We're discussing the pizza available at the hot bar in the Whole Foods near Union Station. Does this mark the return of regular episodes? Maybe!  Got somewhere we really need to try? Email Paul at [email protected].

Megan and Paul review delivery from Jet's Pizza, a place to get Detroit-style pizza that's NOT Blue Pan. Plus, stick around 'til the end for a sneak peak at City Cast Denver. It's a new daily Denver news podcast, hosted by the inimitable Bree Davies, and if you live in Denver you'll love it! 

Paul and Megan enjoy delivery pies from Colorado's own Blackjack Pizza with JD Lopez and Mallory Vining.  

Paul and Megan order a large pie and a salad from the Denver Pizza Company. The Denver Pizza Podcast is a proud member of the Denver Podcast Network.   

Megan and Paul sample the pizza delights at the Basil Doc's slice counter in Virginia Village. We only learned after recording this episode that Basil Doc's is -- or at least was -- something of a local pioneer in the cutting edge world of ghost kitchens. Luke Runyon has the story for KUNC.

You can hear Paul and Megan's pizza investigation, The Honey Trap, on the Range & Slope podcast.

Paul and Megan finally take on the only iconic Colorado pizza institution, Beau Jo's, with special guests Andy Kenney and Elisa Elkind. We want to hear from you! How do you feel about honey on crust? Is it an authentic Colorado tradition? Beau Jo's has a website: https://www.beaujos.com/ We highly recommend reading the page on their history. It's got a humor-adjacent origin story and some interesting info on the company's dedication to wind power.  The Denver Pizza Podcast is a proud member of the Denver Podcast Network.
