refer to it as party style pizza and most often it comes in a rectangular shape which is then
subsequently cut into square shapes noticing a trend yet it has a deep and Rich sweet sauce
which can only be accomplished through reduction and lots of tomato paste most people agree that
mozzarella should make up most of the cheese blend adding much needed moisture to the sheet
pan cooking method the edges are left to char in the oven adding a Crispy Crunchy texture to the
furthest edges of the crust cheese is piled high and the toppings are piled even higher before this
mammoth-sized pizza is cooked to Perfection making it the ultimate crowd pleaser while some critics

write off buffalo style pizza Colorado Mountain pie make the pizzas in one of those wood burning
ovens no we're not talking about the dessert here wow this pizza may sound like something you'd get
from a dispensary in Denver It's actually an interesting take on a classic food Beau Jo's
has been offering up Colorado Mountain Pizza since 1973 and locals have been hooked for
nearly 50 years there's no shortage of toppings on this pizza and it's not uncommon to find one
weighing close to four pounds what makes it truly unique however is its style of hand-rolled crust
that puffs up during cooking and creates giant pillowy handles of chewy dough from a traditional
standpoint this may seem like little more than a giant loaf of bread at the end of your slice
but Bo Joe's has had the forethought to offer up plenty of honey for dipping when the cheese
and toppings portions of your pizza have all gone when you consider all of these elements the reason
for its unique name becomes a little clearer while traditional pie lovers might be rolling
their eyes it's clear that Colorado Mountain pie isn't going anywhere soon as a result we humbly
request that you treat yourself next time you're adventuring through the Rocky Mountains who knows
you could find your next favorite slice out in John Denver territory New York style I can't

low moisture mozzarella and Rich tomato sauce that provide a winning combination of chewy malty and
tangy goodness people will claim that true New York style pizza cannot be replicated anywhere
outside of the city due to the mineral content of the water from which it's made it's said that
this gives all the bread produced in the city that signature taste that can't be explained
not only is the method of production unique but so is the method of consumption due to the sheer size
of most of these slices New Yorkers were quick to fold their Pizza in half and enjoy it without the
tip drooping out the reach of their mouth who wants more steps between them and their Pizza
