Irresistible, thin-crust, Italian country-style pizza packed with urban attitude and great flavor.
Proto's first opened in 1999, and has been serving true Neapolitan pizza ever since. With four locations throughout Colorado, Boulder, Denver, Lafayette and Longmont, we're sure that there's a Proto's Pizza not far from you! Neapolitan pizza is the original pizza from Naples Italy. Proto's is like eating in the Old Country. The pizza pies are thin, bubbly and slightly charred. The flavors melt on my taste buds like a dream. The martinis are shaken hard and poured into ultra chilled glasses. The wine list is creative and original at Proto's Pizza. I slipped down some fresh oysters on the half shell to start my meal, and then sat back at the end of it all and devoured a cannoli and double espresso. I'll be back on Friday for their clam pizza. The owners, bakers and staff are dedicated to the belief that Proto's Pizza is the best pizza you'll ever eat.

In Short
Burning tiki lamps lead into a warm, rich, red dining room where silver piping runs back and forth beneath the soaring ceiling. Colorful mosaic tiles cover the top of a long bar where single folks enjoy wine, specialty martinis and espressos. Urban crowds often drift in from downtown to relax in the earthy glow. The pizza is real Napoletana-style--thin, slightly blackened crust bubbles up through rich homemade tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella.
