    Restaurant Review: A Hidden Gem for Pizza and Pork Chop Lovers I recently dined with a good friend first timer and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The pizza was truly outstanding—perfectly crispy crust, generous toppings, and a flavorful sauce that made every bite a delight. I also tried the pork chop, and it was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. It paired beautifully with the sides, creating a well-rounded meal that left me wanting more. The counter seating added a cozy touch to the atmosphere, allowing for an intimate dining experience while watching the chefs at work. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. One of the highlights was the owner checking in on us personally. It’s always nice to see that level of care and commitment to customer satisfaction. Overall, if you're looking for delicious pizza, an unforgettable pork chop, and a welcoming atmosphere, [Restaurant Name] is a must-visit! I look foward to my return.

    Our server, Charlie, was friendly, funny and made us feel welcome. Wine and Amari selection are great! Food is delicious. Some favorites were the arancini, wagyu tartare with homemade bread and the lobster and mushroom gnocchi. We will be back soon.

    Benzina is one of the best restaurants in Denver!! Their food is incredible and their service is spectacular. David, at the Bar, is so friendly and knowledgeable about his trade. Highly recommended!! Must try the arancini, steak tar tar, market salad, Brussels sprouts salad and the chicken is unbelievable. Their pizzas are the best in town!!

    I don’t get it. $100 for a calzone, a salad and two house drinks? In a former car garage? What an I missing? Sorry…don’t get the value prop….won’t return.
