Excellent Philly cheesesteak sandwich and awesome beer tap list. We visited at lunch and they have pizza slices only in Grandma style. Buddy had one and said it was tasty. Shared tables when busy. Counter service only.

We drove from Evergreen just to eat here. Arrived around 5PM on a Saturday thinking we'd beat the rush, lol nope! There were just two seats left at the bar and we snagged them. Staff were super friendly, great vibes, and the food was perfect. I'm originally from the east coast and was really craving something that resembled the food there. While I don't think anyone here can perfectly replicate the pizza and bread from out east, Little Arthur's did a bang up job anyways! I do wish they still used ribeye and that fancy cheese from Italy, but I get it, if no one is buying or there are other logistical reasons, then I guess ya gotta adjust. Just wish I would have tried his food before that happened, because there are some people that do appreciate the finer things in life. Still, really great pizza and cheesesteak's and will def be back!

Wish I knew about this place sooner! Really great beer selection with choices won't see very often. They now have Little Arthur's serving food which is absolutely incredible. Go here with 4 friends and split the pizza. The pesto fries were an unexpected delight.

I love this place. It’s a great neighborhood joint with a solid beer selection and one of the best food joints - Little Arthur’s - in Denver. Their cheesesteaks and pizza are both phenomenal. Huge salads and fries are fun to share.
