Pizza in Estes Park: Your Guide to the Top 6 Shops in Town

Hello and welcome to my article on the best pizza places you can find in Estes Park Colorado. It isn’t always easy to get a ton of menu variety on these lists when I am writing about just one type of restaurant, but I think I got a good amount of menu diversity and variety on the list today. And for each of these pizza places I’ll give you their address so you can find your way to them. 

I’ll also link you to each of the pizza place’s Yelp page and webpage. That way you can check out what other customers have had to say about them, and you can also take a look at their pricing options as well! And in addition to that, I will also let you know when they accept our convenient GiftYa gift cards.

The thing that makes GiftYa so convenient, and different from those antiquated plastic gift cards, is their all digital format. Since everything is done digitally, you can purchase and send a GiftYa wirelessly in seconds. And since they stay on the recipient's phone the entire time, you never have to worry about not having your GiftYa with you when you are hungry. And on top of that, the digital format keeps track of the balance for you all the time, so you never have to worry about forgetting how much is on the card.

But enough about GiftYa’s convenient format, let’s get to those amazing pizza places in Estes Park that you were looking for!

1. Antonio’s Real New York Pizza

Specializes In Both Thin Crust New York Style Pizza and Thick-Crust Sicilian Pizza

1560 Big Thompson Ave | Estes Park | estesparkpizza.com

If you are looking for the absolute best pizza you can find in Estes Park then look no further than Antonio’s Real New York Pizza! They are the first pizza place I’ve seen after writing countless articles that specializes in both thin crust and thick crust pizza. Most pizza places you find will specialize in one or the other. It’s unusual to see a pizza place that boasts they have mastered both styles of pizza. But I think that is the thing that brings them to the number one spot on the list. No matter what kind of pizza you are in the mood for, Antonio’s is going to get it to you in phenomenal fashion. They use homemade fresh mozzarella on every pizza so you expect the highest quality pizza that you can find anywhere in Estes Park. 

They claim you won’t find fresher ingredients or a more authentic New York Pizza experience anywhere else in town. And I tend to believe them since on top of the homemade cheese, they also make all of their dough and crust in house in traditional New York fashion. They use tomatoes specifically from Italy, and they make all their sauce homemade in house as well. 

So that’s the crust, the sauce, and the cheese all being made fresh in house daily. And if that doesn’t sell you on them as the best pizza place in town, then just take a look at one of the countless five star reviews that other customers have left behind!  

“Every once in a while you run across a pizza shop that shows you that making good pizza IS possible outside of New England and in fact it's just that 99% of places don't know how to make good pizza. This is one of those shops. What a gem!” - Yelp Review 

2. New Village Pizza

Great Place for Pizza, Salad, and Chicken Wings

543 Big Thompson Ave | Estes Park | newvillagepizzaco.com

If you are looking for a place that has great pizza, but also has more to offer than just an amazing slice then New Village Pizza is gonna be the pizza spot for you in Estes Park. And that is because they have absolutely fantastic pizza of all sorts. The Meat Lovers definitely seems to be a local favorite. But you can also get more than just pizza here!

You can slo get an excellent variety of salads and chicken wings as well. So if you have a picky eater in your party, or somebody who just isn’t in the mood for pizza at the moment, then New Village Pizza has you covered. I mean just about everybody loves chicken wings since they come in such a wide variety of flavors that there is one for everybody. 

So wings will have a lot of people covered who are looking for something other than pizza. And for those who don’t like chicken wings, or have dietary restrictions that prevent them from eating chicken wings, then there are also all kinds of fresh vegetarian friendly salads on the menu as well. And this well balanced menu that has a little something for every one is why New Village Pizza gets my number two spot for best pizza place in Estes Park.

“Great pizza, family atmosphere, and clean restaurant. Maybe one of the best meals we had during our visit in Estes Park. We ordered cheese bread and 2 pizzas. Everything was hot fresh and tasty. The crust had some corn meal added to it which we really liked. If you visit Estes again we will definitely stop for a pizza.” - Yelp Review 

3. The Bird’s Nest

Pizza Place With Great Views of the Rockies

1221 High Dr | Estes Park | thebirds-nest.com

The Bird’s Nest is really more of a grab & go bakery than it is a stand alone pizza place. And as such they have all sorts of coffees, teas, juices, smoothies, and baked goods up for grabs. Which makes them a great place for a quick breakfast or lunch one day.

However, if you are looking for a great pizza, then they have your back covered. They also have plenty of pizza options for you to choose from when you are craving a slice in a hurry. They have a lot of creative toppings and options when it comes to their pizza. So not only is it going to be a quick and convenient visit, you are also likely to find a kind of pizza you have never tried before. The Fungi and the Fig pizza both seem to be popular but be sure to give all the different styles a taste!

“Great stop right outside of the park. Beautiful building and yummy food. Plus great views! Do wish they had more seating and another option than a pizza box for dine in guests. We had the margarita pizza and took home some croissants, everything was delicious. Great service too. Overall highly recommend and we will be back!” - Yelp Review 

4. Papa John’s

A Popular National Pizza Chain With Delivery Options

228 E 29th St | Loveland | papajohns.com

I imagine a lot of you out there are familiar with Papa John’s pizza, after all they are a large pizza chain with a national presence. They are going to serve up a decent pizza at a good price. And the nice thing is that they offer a wide variety of popular variations on your traditional pepperoni pizza. You can get everything from buffalo chicken pizza to spicy hawaiian pizza. So if you want to try something new, but don’t want to pay independent pizza place prices, this is a great place to experiment with your pizza toppings. 

And on top of that, they also still have their own delivery drivers. I know my personal experience with the food delivery apps is subpar so I always give a few extra points to a place that has its own drivers. You’ll actually get the food you ordered, delivered on the time it was promised by, and that is hard to beat in the modern world unfortunately.

“My experience with this establishment has been good. Last time we bought an extra large pizza at a good price and great taste; crust was not too thin, sauce was good, pizza was not soggy. Better ingredients. Good service, didn't have to wait for pick up. I'll come again, and again...” - Yelp Review

5. Domino’s

Another Pizza Chain With A National Presence In Estes Park

457 E Wonder View Ave | Estes Park | dominos.com

Domino’s is another incredibly popular national pizza chain that you can find in Estes Park. And while Domino’s is not going to be the most absolute authentic and fresh pizza you’ve ever had, you will get great portions at a fair price. And while Domino’s has a wide variety of different styles of pizza that you can choose from, there are also other great options. 

Domino’s also has fantastic breadsticks, pastas, and desserts. Which means you can get a full three course meal without ever having to leave your house. And that is one of the reasons I include these national pizza chains in this list. Sometimes you want a great pizza, but you don’t want to get bundled up, get in the car, drive over there, pick up the pizza, and drive home before you even get to eat it. 

And for anybody who is looking for a filling meal at a fair price that you can have delivered right to your front door, then Domino’s is gonna be a great pizza spot in Estes Park for you!

“Fast delivery, accurate and absolutely delicious. Will definitely order from this Domino's again while in town!” - Yelp Review

6. Poppy’s Pizza & Grill

Great Pizza & Plenty of Other Options As Well

342 E Elkhorn Ave | Estes Park | poppyspizzaandgrill.com

Poppy’s Pizza & Grill makes it onto the list because they do have great pizza options. However, what I really like about them is that they also offer plenty of other classic options like burgers and sandwiches as well. Which I think makes them all around the best pizza spot if you are in a dining party where not everybody is totally on board with pizza. At Poppy’s you have so many classic choices and options that everybody is going to find something they like. No matter how picky of an eater you might have with you, they will have something on the menu that appeals to everybody.

But you can also get a wide variety of interesting pizzas here. Yeah you can get classics like cheese pizza, or pepperoni pizza, but you can also get really creative pies liked Smoked Trout Pizza or Mediterranean Pizza. And I think that the fact they have pizza options I’ve never seen anywhere else is worth mentioning because I know some people out there like to try something new every time they pay to go out for dinner.

“This place is located in a prime location right across a creek and gives a stunning view. We came in for lunch on a Saturday and shared three dishes among  4 people. The table favorite was the wedge salad - highly recommend! The service was quick and pleasant.

Note: you'll have to find street parking and be prepared for a wait during busy season/meal times.” - Yelp Review 

And there you go! That is my list of all the best pizza places you can find in Estes Park Colorado. It’s hard to get a ton of variety in a list of just pizza places, but I tried my best to find places that had unique options. And I think I did pretty well because everything from smoked trout pizza, to fig pizza appeared on the list. 

So I think there should be something for everybody on this list! But if you didn’t find exactly what you were looking for here, and maybe you’ve decided you aren’t in the mood for pizza afterall, then be sure to check out our other great articles on places to eat in Estes Park!
