Finding great gluten free pizza while traveling is not easy, but Marco’s Coal Fired Pizza in Denver was a fantastic surprise. As someone with celiac disease, I am always cautious, and Marco’s really delivered. They offer gluten free pizza that is cooked in a separate oven, which immediately gave me confidence about cross contamination. The staff were excellent, knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to talk through how they prepare everything safely. The pizza itself was delicious, crisp, flavorful, and honestly did not feel like a compromise at all. It tasted like proper coal fired pizza, just without the worry. On top of that, they had a great selection of gluten free beers, which is always a bonus and not something you find everywhere. Great food, great people, and a place that clearly cares about customers with dietary needs. If you are in Denver and want safe, high quality gluten free pizza, Marco’s is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Hands down, the best gluten free pizza crust in Denver! Matlyn, our server, was kind and patient. She helped me with my questions. I started with a salad, but when Matlyn told me that the gluten free dough was made with buckwheat and rice flour, I knew I had to try it. It did not disappoint. The buffalo mozzarella was ah-mazing. Overall, the experience was great. I would highly recommend.

Actually *safe* gluten free pizza?! Couldn't pass up this opportunity, and the pizza was worth it. The crust was amazing despite being a little on the soggy side, but that's probably becausewe ordered a pretty greasy specialty pie. The GF focaccia was good, but very similar to the pizza crust and more like a naan. The cauliflower app was so yummy too, baked cheesy perfection! Waiter knew everything about eating gluten free so I felt very safe eating there. They also have great happy hour specials. I did feel a bit sick after but I blame that on eating my weight in cheese and pepperoni 😅

We stopped in for lunch on our first day of vacation in Denver, and we could not have been happier with the decision. Hearing about this place from a friend was a blessing. The pizzas were so filling and delicious, we can’t recommend this place enough. And Kinley and the kitchen were so considerate of my husband’s alpha-gal allergy, on top of everything. Again, if you’re in the vicinity (and even if you’re not, make the detour), definitely stop by.
