Beau Jo's Reviews

We had the thin crust and it was great, lots of parking in back.

The pizza here is an awesome Colorado twist on everyone's favorite. I eat here every time I pass through Idaho Springs.

The mountain pie was great, however, the lack of service was extremely disappointing. Our waitress, Trisha, did not even bother coming by to check and see how we were doing and we were left with empty glasses of water and no napkins. This would have been five stars if not for the negative experience.

One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten in a wonderful ambiance with 18 different beets on tap

Delicious mountain pies nestled in the quaint town of Idaho Springs. It's fun to sit at the bar after a long day of pow and turns. It will cost you a pretty penny.

Historic pizza place with decent salad bar and pizza of all kinds sold by the pound! Great for families. Awesome stop on the way to Loveland, Breckenridge, and Keystone.

I really enjoy the occasional trip to Beau Jo's. They have a thick doughy edge, and thin pie style center crust. Along with piled on fresh toppings they sell it by the pound rather than the inch. It works. My kids love the honey used to adorn the doughy edge and make the often disguarded crust the nearly ready to be fought after treat.

The original Beau Jo's. Been going there since the 70's. Always stop after skiing, or whatever we are in the area.

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs.

A bit pricey but fast service and awesome pizza. Nostalgic location where Beau Jos started. Most of the seating was closed off due to COVID but we had plenty of options for outside seating. I would stop again when I am in the area, I recommend eating here.

Honest, fast service, good pizza and the waitress was willing to elaborate on things.

Long wait but truly worth it. Such an interesting location and building. Incredibly good pizza with crust that is famous for its amazing pairing with honey... service is good but very rushed and busy as it is a popular place. Go here for the food and the location and the experience, but not for the personable or cozy service/seating.

Annual stop on the way to ski. Great pizza and ambiance.

I went here yesterday with a large group of nine friends. We wanted to split checks which is a common practice. The server told us they only can split checks four ways. What the hell? I don't understand the logistics of that but in the modern world of electronic payments and less cash being carried, restaurants have to be ready for splitting large groups. Our server gave us an attitude about it but we insisted that was the only way we were going to be able to eat here. She talked to the management and they were able to open up other tables on our tickets to be able to split. Still a huge hassle and a bad start to dinner.

Our server was terrible, perhaps the worst I've ever had. She didn't look like she wanted to be there, we never got asked for refills. We had to wait an hour and 20 minutes for our dinner. That was after waiting 35 minutes to be seated. The server avoid eye contact with our table and it was just awkward and unprofessional.

The food was very good although my order was wrong. That was the mostly redeeming part of dinner. I was especially frustrated and angry after the bad service, long wait, and incorrect pizza order that I spoke to management. Management was very accommodating and understanding and made everything right that they could do. That's why I give it a three stars overall.

My wife and I will consider going back since she loves their Pizza however we will never do a large group at a Beau Jos again. We'd advise others to do the same unless splitting a table 4 ways is enough for your party.

This is our stop locations for any meal lunch or dinner. Amazing food, Great outside seating for pet owners.

Caring, outgoing and very helpful staff! Pizza is best in region! Great atmosphere. Been going for nearly 30 years

Some of the best pizza I've had! Couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate my Birthday. Had the "mountain pie" it was HUGE!!! Had a really thick soft edge of bread like crust that you can drizzle honey on. It was pricey but so worth it and delicious!!!!!

The best way to start your ski vacation in the mountains. It's sort of like the only way to start your ski vacation service is great pizza is absolutely one of a kind you can only get it at Bojo's salad bar awesome staff just sort of gets you in the mood to be in the mountains my kids went up to the salad bar time and time again

Pizza is wonderful! Ate here off recommendation of a friend and it was great!

The place itself can be a bit confusing, but if you follow the staff and get seated you'll be greeted by amazing good and great caterers. It has a southern old mining town feel to it with great vibes. I definitely recommend it.

Fantastic gem! outdoor seating in early autumn is truly fantastic. Get the mountain pie and you wont regret it!

It ok, I personally am not a super big fan of pizza. Pizza is like sandwiches, how many time do we need to reinvent the wheel. If you don t have a product that s just over the top. It s just going to okay. The service wasn t really that good. Our server was kind of ditzy. So that plays into the whole experience as well. Salad bar was good, fresh, and plenty of options.
Overall there wasn t anything bad or good about the food. Now I could say I have been there. Most likely won t be back.

My favorite pizza in Colorado. Placed a pick up order over the phone. Was ready exactly at the time they said. All three pizzas were perfect on toppings and cooked well. A little pricey, but is not a disappointment so I m fine with the price.

Iconic tourist spot but pretty good pizza. You have options between thick crust and thin crust. And then are plenty of other food options as well. This place is more about the experience.

Delicious pizza and the place where we learned about putting honey on the pizza crust after eating the crust with toppings. Very popular place and worth the wait to be seated during a busy summer weekend.

Only thing not positive is the cheese could be better. Go here. Eat a pizza.

Calzone was delicious...even better than their pizza!

I thought the pizza here was pretty good, I was a little disappointed with my chicken tenders being cold. I recommend going to the Phoenix gold mine and then going to Beau Jo's for dinner where they will give you a discount for visiting one of the most fascinating mine tours I've done. They have a good beer selection and all in all I would eat here again anytime soon. I would recommend.

Original Colorado pizza that you put honey on Great place to load on carbs before and after hikes!

Can't go wrong with pizza. Great place to stop in and eat on your way West. Expect a wait during weekends.

The Pizza was overpriced and overrated. I paid 40 dollars for a large pizza which is actually about the size of a small medium. The best part of the pizza was the crust and even that was mediocre at best, plus the wait was long and the atmosphere was obnoxious, would not recommend.

The pizza was really good but kind of pricey. The pizza a buddy and I ordered ended up being $60 after the tip and two iced teas. Props on the honey for the crust.

Everytime we come back to Colorado we hit this amazing mountain man pizza joint! When we lived in CO we hit this place Everytime we went to the mountains!

Nice place. Pizza was just ok, crust was burned a little bit. Very expensive for what you get. Probably won't go back.

Classic Colorado location; perfect for a stop after a mountain adventure.

If you are looking for a delicious piece of pizza to snack on, Beau Jo s is the place!!!

My boyfriend loved his wings and pie but I didn t like my food. The cauliflower was undercooked and same with my crust. A lot of money to be unsatisfied.

Best mountain pizza pie. The water is the key to the dough. Love this place and the bar tenders are awesome.

I am not articulate enough to describe how good this pizza is.

Average pizza at outrageous prices...come to Wisconsin....and have great pizza at affordable prices...

Tasty pizza with lots of local craft brews. Pizzas are so thick sometimes toppings can be not quite so hot.

Pizza was good...Wait was an hour and a half to eat there so we just got ours to go and ate it at a park 50 yards down the street. They game us plates and supplies to enjoy a nice picnic without the long wait time!!!

A Colorado Place! Lots of good beer & plenty of pizza choices.

All that's needed in life is the honey and pizza crust!

Been here six times in two months. Delicious pizza.

A Colorado must visit. Although the Arvada location is better overall, there's something very nice about the historic idaho springs location. Just be prepared for a wait, especially during the COVID seating requirements...

Ordered Veggie pizza, but it has hardly some veggies. Service is not at all welcoming.

Tasty pizza after our exausting trip to Mount Evans! I also had a local orange peel IPA, flavorful, tasty and cold which went perfectly with the pizza. Waiting in line for about 20 minutes. Also, the table we received was facing the place where the personnel was dumping the leftovers. Not very nice and that's the main reason for the rating.

Great pizza. Nice to have something different then what we have back in wisconsin

Hands down best pizza you can get, and the place is pretty cute

Update. Still the Best pizza in Idaho springs. And we used to go there every time we went to the pool. However the new paid parking has left a bad taste in our mouths. This is the last time we are comming here until they get rid of it. Such a shame the town let the greedy city pass such a thing.

We had the Mountain style Margherita pizza a salad.
It was fantastic!
It wad ny first time eating there. I've passed by it many times, on my way to & from Denver....but never got to stop.
My husband FINALLY took me there for dinner.
I WILL be returning some day!
Honey on the pizza crust....so good!

The food was wonderful but our waitress was not alas.

Good food, but I ordered a To Go order to be ready in 25 for pickup. They forgot to make it. The host lied and said it would be out in 5 min. After 20 more minutes it s clear they had to make it because they forgot.

Great pizza in a beautiful town. The building is very cool as well.

Honey cheesey garlic bread is delicious! Pizza was also good. Service was very welcoming! Waterfall out back was beautiful!

The big yeast bubbles in the pizza crust are interesting; loved the puffy edge with honey drizzled. Salad was fresh and delicious. Historic atmosphere is nice.

Love coming here. I was introduced to this place a few years ago and now I come back every time I visit Co. This year was even better as they have changed up thier menu and are offering more gluten free options. My wife actually is allergic to gluten so the expanded menu items put a big smile on her face. Thanks and keep up the great work

As I am a highschool student. I don't know much but what I do know is that is some bomb pizza :)

Good wings and cold beer. Pizza looked great and am.told it is. Next time

The Gluten Free pizza here is amazing!!! Best I have ever had!

Always a great dining experience, you absolutely cannot go wrong eating here. Make sure you ask for honey, so that you can save your pizza crust for dessert!

A truly impressive selection of pizza with several crust options.

This place is a must if you're ever anywhere near it! Amazing food! Seriously the best pizza I have ever had and the crust is so good with the honey (I thought it was weird when I heard about it, but just try it)!!
