Beau Jo's Reviews

This is one of my all time favorite places in Colorado. Whenever we go up into the mountains we stop here for a meal.
Appreciated the friendly service and quick resolution.

One of the nicest family experiences in the mountains, and pizzas to match the scenery! With a huge variety of menu items, they can satisfy almost any customers desire. They have a fantastic healthy options selection for any restaurant, let alone a pizza joint.

There is better quality and better priced pizza in town. The crust makes up to much of the pizza and the flavour is absent.

It's just okay. 9/10 your service will be garbage. Also expect a massive wait. If you don't mind eating like a dog, you can camp on the patio side for some dog friendly seating, but it's not shaded and the service is even worse. The pizza is overall good. They can be a little crazy, but the flavors are good and the honey is nice to eat with the crust.

Edit: The response below is a fantastic example of the poor service you'd likely receive; no acknowledgement of a problem and lacking any self awareness.

NY has their pizza, Chicago has their pizza well its little known Colorado has theirs. Beau Jo's original place is in Idaho Springs and famous for their mountain pies. Fist size crust on the outside allows you to enjoy a wonderful pizza and have a wonderful dessert by saving the crust and using the bottle of honey on your table to drizzle on the crust for dessert. In a rustic old building downtown there is a fantastic staff and a fun place to visit. There are a limited few other locations around the area as well. Highly recommended.

The best pizza I have ever had. I have eaten at Beau Jo's for over 40 years and the quality is still there. Beware the size you order though, these are mountain pies with enough toppings to feed a mountain man! The honey wheat crust is delicious and is fantastic dessert when topped with the provided honey.

Omg! Go get a pizza with the big crust! I can't remember the name of that type, but wow, definitely a place worth visiting!

Food is amazing and the waiter Gailen is very knowledgeable about the food he sells and customers is awesome! The veteran discount is the best I've ever seen! 30% Holy cow! This location is by far the best one!

Always fantastic! Excellent pizza, service, and variety!!

Real cool mountain Pizza joint etc ... Calzones are fantastic & Huge !!! good value for serving size !!

Love the salad bar option. Pizza was good although the sauce could be more flavorful. Overpriced pizza ..+1 star for the salad bar.

In college, stopping by Beau Jo's after a ski weekend was such a great tradition. It's still amazing six years later. Mountain pies are delicious, the service is great, and the vibe is part of why I love the Colorado Rocky Mountains so much.

Stopped in for Lunch with a few co workers. Our server was visibly upset that we started off ordering only 2 drinks and several waters before we placed an order for our meal. "Is that all?" Brought my coffee, no creamer, had to ask another server. Gluten free sandwich was ok, not sure regular bread would have made much of a difference. Service def not up to par with the positive reviews this place receives.

Been going to Beau Jo's for a couple decades now and I still really enjoy it! I have to say though that I think their pizzas have gotten smaller and their prices higher. It was $31 for a large cheese pizza, two drinks and a 20% tip so you'll have to judge for yourself. Excellent pizza none the less and worth trying at least once.

You'll need to be patient for their hand made pizza pies. Outdoor patio with separate dog-friendly area

We came in at 830p, and was given an extremely doughy pizza :(
They wanted to close right at 9p...didn't care about out satisfaction just that they could close.

Fun atmosphere and the restaurant is huge. There are a lot of different pizza selections and combinations.

Lots of shops to visit. Atmosphere at restaurant good and decorations are worth seeing.

Great place to go when you want to get away from the city and relax and have fun!

Love this place. We drove an hour to take our relatives that were visiting, cause the pizza is some of the best, and they love historic building, and the rustic nature of Idaho Spring.

Service was great. Food was good. Ordered veggie calzone. Very delicious and filling.

The pizza was amazing the environment was great and our server was awesome

Best pizza in Colorado hands down. Great for waiting out the ski traffic on your way back into town on 70. Amazing deep deep dish pizza, where honey is absolutely necessary with your crust.

We come here most every time we come down from the mountains. We love the mountain pies, so delicious, and drizzling the honey on the larger than life crust is delish. We notice steep increases in price over the last few years, a large 16" pie is gonna run $35+ and a small single topping (pepperoni) will set you back $15. So pizza is getting expensive. We got 1 large and 1 small mountain pizza, salad for 2 and 1 cocktail, the bill set is back almost $90. (the small comes with 6 small slices and the large had 10)

One of my most favorite places..Beau Jo's Pizza Parlor!!! Yummy

Beau Joe's is our favorite pizza spot, the only real "Colorado Style Pizza". There are lots of locations but this one is by far the best one, worth the drive and the extra dough.

This is my favorite stop after a day in the mountains. The pizza is so good fresh and the place has so much character.

On a local recommendation we had to stop for a Mountain Pie on our way back to Denver Airport after a few hard days of skiing. Good beer, good pizza, casual and lots of seating. Of you like crust, this pizza is for you! Be sure to try drizzling with honey for dessert. Definitely worth a stop.

Good food and great environment but the service was a little slow.

The best Pizza Ever! Dipping the crust in honey or basil pesto was so unique...

Overpriced GF options, but the pizzas are delicious.

The pizza is good but it's not worth the price and it's definitely not worth waiting an hour. There are other good restaurants in town you should consider.

Pizza was good. Service was good. 5 sodas, one XL pizza 3 toppings... 60$ plus tip... Ouch! Likely not to return

Love their pizza,mountain pies. Honey is served to dunk your crust, dinner and dessert all on one.

They are famous for their colorado style pizza, which essentially is thicker crust pizza, which is then eaten with honey. Adorably rustic decor and pretty friendly staff.

Always had a good pie here, the baked stuffed mushrooms are great

First time visit, it was very good! Best pizza I've had in a long time!

Ordered the artichoke dip 2 mountian style pizzas one was the lil Italy and the other was a ham and pineapple the dip was just ok not worth $11 the pizzas had no flavor at all just really bland was disappointed after all the great reviews pizza local is amazing compared to this place and I can buy there 3 pizzas same size and full order of bread sticks for about $35 here I spent $50 before tip

It's been awhile since I've been to a Beau Jo's and this is the first time I've been to the one in Idaho Springs. The pizza was good and my wife made several trips to the salad bar. The mountain pie is what they call their pizza with the big crest and it's fun and different. You put honey on it and eat like it's a dessert. The only issue we had was the waitress messed up our kids food and my oldest son had to wait even longer to get his food. The waitress give a small discount on the bill but it really didn't make up for the inconvenience of my son watching his siblings eat.

Great old time atmosphere and great food. Especially the honey bread!!

I LOVE IT! Make sure to order the chicken cordon blue pizza

Hands down best pizza ever. Don't forget to add some honey to your crust!

Service was great, food was great! I always love the salad bar! Kids loved the meatball subs. The calzone was excellent! Beaughetti and Mac and cheese were ok.

Very pricey large pizza three toppings 40 bucks. Pizza was good I have to hand them that

Love the unique pizza and how they bring honey for the crust. Great salad bar

Phenomenal pizza. Best I've ever had. You can order an individual or (small) for yourself. Or split a giant monster. They also have a fair salad bar. 8 options 6 dressings usually mixed greens of spinach and iceberg I think. The pizza is what they are known for though. The crust is so delicious it doubles as a dessert with a lil honey.

Stopped here for lunch.
Yummy food and great service.

This place is always worth the stop in Idaho Springs. Even if there is a long wait, their buzzer things have a range of at least one block and you can shop around the area while you are waiting. Another pro tip, if you have a dog on a leash, there are about 5 tables that are on the back patio near the parking lot which are open seating. So if you come around the back of the restaurant (obviously only when the weather is nice) and you have a dog, or don't mind sitting with dogs, you can usually find a spot to sit right away.

Beau Jo's is and always has been a Colorado classic. Even though this restaurant shows its age, it still provide excellent service and Superior Pizza. The small is just enough for 2 and very filling at that. Really wish they would clean up the place. But I guess it has a bit of character. local tip, do not use the restrooms if you are a germaphobe. Absolutely disgusting. Still gave it 5 stars as it is not a chain store like Papa John's and the like.

Try the mountain pie and dip your crust in honey. It's an experience that you shouldn't skip!

That pizza crust is what keeps me coming back! The pizza here is great and we always grab some sodas for the road.

Wow!! This is the best pizza. You have to experience this!!

Hipster pizza and salad were really good! This is a must-go type of place if you're near Idaho Springs!

Delicious pizza and sanwishes. Different kind of pizza. Definitely recommend this place.

I get it that Beau Jo's is a Colorado legend and I wanted to be "wowed", but I just think it was ok, not great. We had the Hamburger- Sausage pizza, and for $22, I would expect more pizza and less crust. The place is busy, and the service is very efficient, but the pizza is subpar for what you pay.

Worth the price point. 1 lb mountain pie (6 slices) can definitely feed one with even room for leftovers. The prices are a little high but the location and feel make it worth visiting. The stuffed mushrooms are the booooomb too.

Iconic pizza place in Idaho Springs. Been going for years. Always excellent mountain pies and service is always good. Can get busy as expected but definitely worth the wait. Will be back as often as we are in town.

Love Beau Jo s. If you haven t been, just go. You won t be disappointed. We plan our trips around hitting Beau Jos while they are open.

We ordered 5 pizzas and every pizza was incorrect. When asking how many people one salad feeds, she say 1!! We ordered 4 salads and 1 salad easily fed 2-3 people. What a complete waste of money not to mention they are overpriced to begin with!! So completely disappointed. When picking up our order they had messed up several other orders that were being picked up at the same time!

So good! Make sure to order it mountain-style so you can put the honey on the crust

By far our favorite Beau Jo's location! If we make a trip up into the mountains it is a requirement to stop at Beau Jo's Idaho Springs. Whenever family comes to town we always make a trip up here as well. Mountain air and the cold springs water make for some really great pizza!
