Beau Jo's Reviews

Amazing pizza, as always!! Well worth the 2.5 hour drive!!

Colorado style pizza! you gotta try it if you're visiting

It's just good. Food is great, Service is great, Atmosphere is great. I dont see why anybody would not like this!

Delicious pizza, great service, and a great salad bar!

They now offer cauliflower crust and it was very tasty!!

Fun restaurant! The pizza is pretty great. Service is slow and definitely plan ahead because there is always a wait on weekends.

Set a new standard for pizza w their mountain pies...absolutely delicious!

Bought a Motherlode Take and Bake Mountain pie. The ingredients are fresh and of good quality however this pie looked rushed and messy and was missing the meatballs. Not what you would expect for a 35.00 pizza that only feeds two.

I've been coming to Beau Jo's in Idaho Springs for almost 14 years now. In the past 4 years I've been noticing a decline of service or food quality. And I'll address each with pros and cons.

Service:
- They are very friendly
- They tend to forget about you and leave you sitting there waiting for your bill or to take your order.
- It feels extremely rushed, therefore, it creates an atmosphere of "yeah, yeah, eat your food and get out of here."
- Drink refills were lacking extremely. I had one refill and one of the two ladies I was with had one as well. It wasn't because our drinks weren't empty, it was simply because they were forgotten or ignored.
- I made an odd request/question about the menu and I was shut down without an explanation with simple open and shut response, "my manage says that we are absolutely not allowed to do that. Those toppings are exclusively for the (special pizza)." A side note on this one, I have compared restaurants on this topic and it is fascinating to note that the proper response and the improper response. the proper response would be, "let me check to see if that is possible." This will acknowledge the customers odd request. I've been to Patxi's pizza in Englewood and the manager said, "I've never heard of that, but let me walk across the road and get that ingredient so that you can have it on your pizza." I was blown away by the accommodation that we ate there once a week for the next couple of months, even though we have had bad experiences there as well, the managers always were absolutely amazing.

The food
- Back in the day when we first started going to Beau Jo's their pizzas were hands down the best. Now... meh. The toppings have a hard time staying on the pizza, I went to pull a slice off the platter and when it got to my plate it was only the crust... I've never had a pizza where the toppings slide off the pizza so easily.

In summary, I felt like I don't have a say in the food I'm going to eat. Yes, they have a customize-able pizza, but they can't think outside of the box or willing to entertain out of the box customers. In my humble opinion, part of the fun of pizza is that you get to customize it according to how you want it.

I give the place 3 stars because it is still good to eat at, but it simply has some areas where they could improve on.

If you're in the area you have to go. Great service, great atmosphere and great food!

Ryan is a great server! Awesome food, great vibes and great location.

I used to eat there daily and also worked there back in early 2000's. Its one of those pizza places that always stick in your head. Lots of options.

Best Colorado-style pizza ever! Perfect post hike meal

Somehow me and my buddy racked up $75 for a pizza and two beers is that normal here?

Idaho springs and you're hungry bojos is the place to be

Delicious Fresh dough and ingredients..love the salad bar. I Highly recommend

Another place worth the drive. It's about an hour out from Aurora. We've been to this location multiple times. Food is always amazing. We always do the all you can eat Salad bar, and their Mountain Pie with pepperoni. The crust on the pizza is the best part. Drizzle honey on the crust and OMG YUUUUUM!! They are known for eating the pizza crust this way. I've been to the other Beau Jo's locations but for some reason they are just not as good as the original location in Idaho Springs.

The building is very historical so the atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff are super friendly and always smiling. Most visit at least once.

Good price and nice service here. The room is clean and neat, but the noise isolation is bad.. I heard the room guest next door was coughing in the night and felt like someone was sleeping next to me.. which was kinda scary. I was used to it in the next coming days though.

The food was OK. I bit overpriced for what it is. A Colorado institution.

Pizza was delicious. The wait was long but definitely worth it!

The pizza here is delicious.The only place I've ever been that sells pizza by the pound.

Always a great place to get a true Colorado style mountain pie. Unique, delicious, historical, this is one of our favorite places to stop and eat.

For some reason, their pizza tastes better here than in the front range.

Delicious pizza and really nice atmosphere! I also enjoyed the salad bar!

Somehow, this place always exceeds my expectations.

Highway Robbery. It's extremely rare for me to leave a 1-star review, but my girlfriend and I paid $60 for a large and a medium pizza. Ok we were expecting quality, I said no fresh tomoatoes and they completely put no sauce on my pizza. Also both pizza's were extremely dry. I don't mind paying $60 for pizzas, if there's QUALITY. This location completely lacks that, I feel like I was robbed.

What a cool spot in a tucked away town. Felt tourists and locals enjoy this spot

The pizza is amazing...make sure and try the mountain crust

Yumiii! One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. The mountain pie was delicious and the leftover crust with honey was a great desert. I would always go back.

Great pizza. Had to eat there twice in the two days I was in town.

Great place, pretty busy but you'll know why if you eat here.

Great place to visit for some very unique and flavourful pizza. Will go down even better with their quirky honey drizzled crust!

Awesome. A must place to visit for food.
The pizza was great, service was great. Just an sll around great experience.
Thank you.

They have my favorite gluten free crust. Fun atmosphere. A bit pricey but I enjoy it.

Perfectly delicious, filling, and there where leftovers.

Their crust on deep dish is tasty, especially drizzled in honey! A great stop for dinner on your way into the mountains.

After 15 years same flavor
i love it
Dont visit any other Beau Jo's
this is the Original

AMAZING pizza! This is probably my new favorite place to grab some deep dish pizza. Honey for dipping the thick crusts is a fantastic idea. LOVE this place!

Obviously, I'm a Colorado Native. I will give this place five stars any day!

The pizza s toppings were very tasty, but beware there is more crust (bread) than topping ingredients. Management has it going on. IF you only want a delicious, bountiful salad it s going to set you back $10.00. Bottom line lunch that consisted of salad and a small pizza for two working women was $40.00
I feel that is excessive

Unique Rocky mountain style pizza, best eaten with a generous serving of honey spread on the crust. Service was good, specialty pizzas available for those who don't like to choose their toppings one by one.

The only shortfalls that I encountered today was a bitter and metallic aftertaste to the Pepsi I was served. The silverware is also very malleable, causing inconvenience when cutting through the thick crust of the pizza.

Delicious pizza, friendly staff, beer!, Comfortable setting

Iconic pizzeria in the mountains. Beenn numerous times and always a great experience. Love that the owner believes in preserving the mining history of the town and building.

This place is amazing!!! Love the food especially the pizza with honey on the crust!!!

I LOVE the salad bar but anything else no thank you. Over priced and I don't need honey on or in everything. All crust has honey in it. I'm not a fan of sweet and savory when the sweet is way too much.

This place will not disappoint! Get the mountain pie and devour the crust with honey. My favorite is the cajun, but this time had a simple sausage and mushroom pizza with green peppers and red onions. My mouth still waters at the awesomeness!

Great pizza. Amazing. Tasty and hearty toppings and luxurious crust which is very tasty with some honey they provide.

Great pizza! Thirty-three dollars for a large Mother Load seems about thirteen dollars too high. Maybe look for deals from Groupon or locals.

Great setting, I'm just not convinced a tasty XL pizza with 2 Toppings is worth $40.

A must visit if you're in the mountains skiing! We loved to hit this place on the way home from the slopes! Get a mountain pie and finish it off with some honey on the crust! So great!! Just go. You won't be sorry!!

I'm from New York, so my pizza standards are different, nonetheless, Beau Jo's was pretty good. They offer two types of crusts: thin or their special thicker crust option (get this one) plus pre-determined topping combos or choose-your-own. Popular among locals and visitors alike.

The pizza was awesome and much needed after whitewater rafting. Nothing fancy. It s close by to the area rapids and on the way back to Denver. Beer menu is good and best of all, they give you honey to eat your dessert with - the crust. It is a little congested in town so beware about that and walking a little after parking.

I'm a fan of really good traditional NY style pizza and I realize that Beau Jo's is not that but the crust is ridiculously thick. The pizza is basically half crust. The center of the pizza was however, pretty good. It's also overpriced. $30 for a large pepperoni. The service was poor. The hostesses were making fun of another customer right in front of us. The waitress never checked on us after delivering the pizza until she eventually brought the check.

Always great! Outstanding service, great food. Can't be beat!

The crust is special, and I love how you can eat it independently from the actual pizza itself. The honey is awesome as well.

Great pizza, friendly staff. Good stuff all around

Good experience. The customer service at the beginning was a little rough they would not seat us until our entire group was there. But about 10 minutes later we were seated and the food was as good as described. They have solar panels on the roof and a staff that will lighten up you day.

Great place, food and puzza as well as service. Really loved the salad bar.

$42.00 $ for a large 2 topping thin crust and 1 order of mushrooms. Definitely NOT worth the money. I do not recommended this place. I will go somewhere else next time

One of the best gluten free pizzas! They also have a gluten free garlic bread that s amazing as well! I always have to come here after a hike.

Stumbled upon this place driving from Denver airport to Vail / Beaver Creek ski resort. The neighborhood is cool as it s an old mining town and lots of cute shops around it. The pizza is epic and a different type as they use honey on the crust and is so good. They have other styles of pizza too if honey is it for you. Place is always busy and it s really good and an awesome casual and fun ambience too. Usually a wait since they are popular so call head

Food is great! The service would receive a couple less stars but the food makes up for it!
