Beau Jo's Review

Amazing historic building in a beautiful mountain town, serving original authentic Colorado pie pizza and beer. A must visit!

Beau Jo's is a solid 4-star joint in my book for a number of reasons. Let's start with the great:

Pizza: 5/5 it's great pizza, very original. They also make a gluten-free pizza which is VERY tasty
Ambience: 5/5 Nice family friendly environment, great place to hang out
Drinks: 5/5 If you're thirsty, you'll be happy

The just-okay:
The gluten free pizza only comes in the Medium 10" size, and I think it costs $20 or so with 2-3 toppings. It's high quality, but I could eat probably a pizza and a half by myself.
The soup I had (enchilada) was EXTREMELY disappointing -- I paid $5 for a cup of chicken broth with a single piece of chicken and some bits of stuff at the bottom. Could just be a bad service, weak scoop from the pot. But easily $5 wasted in my book.

We swing by every now and again to pick up a pizza when we're coming back from the mountains, because their gluten-free crust really is good. I'm just wary of getting anything else on the menu now

The food is amazing and Amber was a great waitress. Great place to go if you want great food and a good time.

It was very busy when we ate there. The pizza was pretty good. The service was extremely slow and we had to hunt our waiter down to get drink refills.

Have been here twice now and Food was great wings were great and the service was excellent. Most definitely going back again. Only problem is its an hour away haha

Great pizza and a very cool restaurant. Love the old mining and skiing stuff on the walls.

Idaho Falls is beautiful! This restaurant is set in a quaint Mountain town. Great ambiance! The pizza was DELICIOUS! We had 1 XL and it fed 8 of us (including 2 college aged boys)!!! Highly recommend this if you are in the Denver area!!

Great thin crust pizza but we were seated way in the back where they put the families with little kids. Didn't care for the seating lady's attitude.

Whenever we drive up to the mountains we have to find an excuse to stop at Beau Jo's. We love their Pizza!

OMG build your own pizza is awesome! Thanks for a great meal.

Wow! Best gluten free Garlic Cheese Bread and GF Lil Italy pizza ever! We stopped our server to ask if it was actually GF! Thank you Beau Jo's-you never disappoint! Fernando was an awesome server as well. See you soon!

I Love the friendly service and of course the pizza and the buffalo wing are the best.

We love coming up into the mountains for Beau Jo's. Some of the best pizza.

Great Location. Great pizza. Get it "mountain" style (like Chicago pie style) or "Prarie" style (NY thin crust). Lots of choices on sauces, toppings and also their recommended pizzas.

Patio view is over the I-70 interstate but also of the hills on the southside.

Found paid parking within a block that could accommodate my camper trailer.

Pizza is good and service is usually pretty good. Could use an update and modernization.

Loved it... The food the scenery the ambiance its the place to go...

Best pizza place. All the ingredients are fresh. It is a bit pricey but it's worth it. They have the best thick crust pizza and great honey to go on the crust.

We go to this location after the south east Denver Location closed. Always tasty.

I was skeptical despite all the good reviews. The pizza was a bit pricey but oh so good.

Great pizza, nice people, they really fast with everything

Always tasty Colorado staple! I always hit it up when I'm in the area

Love it here. Service was absolutely wonderful! Drinks were great. Pizza and wings were awesome. The only complaint I have is that they cook the dessert pies in the same place as the pizza so you end up tasting pizza on your desert crust.

Pizza was amazing. Atmosphere was great. I will be back next trip into Colorado. Great place to eat for people visiting Idaho Springs.

This is by far the best restaurant in Idaho Springs. This place has the best pizza anywhere offering from New York style to their legendary Mountain crust. I would highly recommend and if you're not a pizza fan they have a very good salad bar and other amazing italian-style dishes. One of my must do is every time we go to Idaho Springs.

Amazing pizza. Must have if you are in the area. #honeyonthecrust

Amazing food! We were also able to take home our pizza to cook it, that was very convenient! Definitely a Colorado landmark!

Love this place. Usually a long wait but that's only because it's such amazing pizza!

Slammed after a day of rising, such a good after mountain meal though.

The pizza is so worth it. Douse your crust with honey! Also, very reasonably priced.

The food as always was great. I love the way the restaurant is still in it's original state with wooden walls and old building constructions. Our server was great, she was attentive and knowledgeable. Only 4 stars for being a little crowded, and it seemed like everyone was seated in the middle of the floor, with tables around the outside remaining empty. I'd go back again of course. The Beau Jo's in Arvada is still my option for this business however.

The pizza is hands down the best
The place and atmosphere was nice the service is great and the beer was cold and local

Always a wait but the food is awesome, service is great and salad bar is so fresh!

Best Pizza west of Denver for the state of Colorado!

If you are in the mountains on I70 and you want the BEST pizza in the state of Colorado you have no choice better than the pizza here. Hands down the most enjoyable pizza in the Rocky Mountains

Yummy as always! I first visited Beau Jo s with a friend of mine in 2015, my very first days in the US of America and I never tasted the same as BJ s in any other place. I am taking my leftover pizza with me to San Diego all the way!

Unique twist on the pizza. The crust is super thick and they provide honey for you to pour over it. My son loved it. Everything was very tasty and the server was nice. At this location there is only street parking.

Great location if looking for a colorado pizza. Lots of choices to choose from on the pre made menu. Also the make your own pizza, is a wide selection of unlimited choices to give you the ability to have it your way. Great open salad bar, with lots of choices. The service at this location is great. Plan on waiting a bit as this is a well known location. I have never had a bad experience here. And cant wait to go back again.

Grew up in idaho springs, still the best pizza in Colorado!

This is a favorite spot every time I am in Idaho Springs! I love drizzling honey on the crust!

This pizza was pretty darn good but I don't know if it's so good it's worth a trip out of the way.

The mountain style pizza and the salad bar were delicious with fresh ingredients.

Great Pizza with yummy homemade crust and honey to dip it in. Also great selection of salads, salad bar, calzones, sandwiches. Place is big so plenty of seating and rarely a wait unless peak skier traffic. Just don't expect fast service esp when busy... It's still the mountains and we do things sloooow..

If you are in the area, you HAVE TO eat here. Atmosphere, food, and service are just right!!!

A Colorado tradition. A trip to the mountains means a trip to Beau Jo's! Incredible food with an amazing gluten free options!

Great food and great atmosphere in a historic building

Excellent little place to grab a bite. Pizza was delicious, service was good and the atmosphere was awesome.

Exceptional customer service and delicious dishes had the beaughetti and it was amazing our waiter gailen was polite an attentive. Would definitely recommend if in the area

Good food longer wait than expected on a Tuesday night

Visited with a large family group, and the staff knew exactly how to handle us. Most of the group devoured the pizza, but even the salad was a treat.

Great place for your pizza fix when in the area or driving through

always great food can be very busy but everyone nice good food normally quick service and love the area it's in as well

Enjoying our meal and an employee, who I believe was the manager decided to spray some type of insect chemical. Mind you this was table away from where we were seated. The chemicals were floating through the air from the door that remained open. The chemical completely ruined the smell/taste of our food. Mind you after spraying these chemicals all the doors remained open where the flies were entering the establishment. They should invest in some type of fan that goes above the doors that would prevent bugs from flying inside. That way this could be avoided while patrons dined inside. I told our waitress and she alerted the manager, but she failed to come by and apologize.

Got our order wrong. Not very polite when I showed them their mistakes. Mediocre pizza, terrible service.

The original makes the best pizza and best eating environment of the Beau Jo's around.

Always a must stop when we are in Colorado. The original in Idaho Springs is still our favorite, but all locations have the same awesome quality food!!

Omg best pizza ever and historic backdrop to boot!!! Great customer service in clean family friendly atmosphere... love it!!!

Very good food and friendly atmosphere! What brought us here to try it out was the free EV charging, what will bring us back is the good quality food and friendly bartenders! Ann and Michelle were great bartenders and servers.

The place is unique! Old, designed as a mine, it has its own spirit. In terms of food, the variety is not that wide. However, it can be caused by COVID. Also, the salad bar was not available.

Awesome pizzas. Their Mountain pie pizzas and Prarie pie pizzas are so delicious. They have a good collection of local beers and cocktails too. The place is quite popular in the Idaho springs and so there will be some wait time.

Best pizza I've had, and likely the best I will have. We stop every chance we get when driving through the mountains. The franchises have nothing on the original!

I always try to stop here if I'm headed through Idaho Springs. One of my favorite restaurants in Colorado.

Love Colorado style pizza, but pizza was over 1/2 crust. Salad bar was good.
