It was a fantastic birthday for my 26-year-old son and our family! The service was 100% on point, every morsel was absolutely delicious. This is our go to for celebrations. We’ve been to a number of Melting Pots around the country, and this one is our favorite because of the cozy, rustic atmosphere and the wonderful service.

Absolutely delicious. We live in Cincinnati and loved Pizzeria Locale before they went out of business, so we always looked forward to visiting a location in Denver. They've since closed the Denver locations as well, but the pizza here was even better! It's a much more upscale vibe, and we loved everything that we tried.
