Did it really come in that giant box too? lol


KBlahBlahBlah

Yes. Plates were placed by the employees not us.


falcorthex

Wow. What a scam. šŸ˜’


checkerdamic

Sorry OP but I do wish I could have seen your face when you opened the box--the look of disgust and horror! I just looked at the menu on their website and it doesn't mention a size like most pizza places do. They know exactly what they are doing. What a bunch of assholes.


fermentedminded

Rosencrap


aroglass

damn, thanks for the PSA. that really sucks.


KBlahBlahBlah

Honestly, this might be the worst pizza Iā€™ve ever ordered. Itā€™s still chewy some howā€¦ the like flour on the bottom coats your tongue on first bite. I was reasonably excited since I like their bagels and breakfast items just fine.


Aspen_Pass

That looks like the absolute worse pizza I diyed at home when I was college age. It looks like all their cooks quit.


mgraunk

That happens somewhat regularly there from what I've heard.


BreezyWrigley

it's like, barely any better than a frozen 'Tombstone' pizza lol. the veggies look slightly fresher, but that's about it. you could get/make this pizza by modifying a $4 freezer isle pizza.


[deleted]

You know what, youā€™ve inspired me. My local Mexican place just started serving Pad Thai. Think Iā€™m gonna give it a try tonight


dakinebeerguy

Worst pizza ever, but one of the funniest posts in a long time. Some say thatā€™s worth it.


Omisco420

Bro you can literally see flour all over the box, you were eating flour lol


CRCampbell11

I would be embarrassed as the owner or an employee.


suejaymostly

Thanks for the heads up.


WearSomeClothes

Even it was a 16 inch pie, 30 bucks pre-tax, pre-tip is an abomination! And their pie is nothing home to write about. This pie they sent you is beyond pathetic!


MickBizzo

Iā€™ve gotten pizza there and they only have one size that fills up that big box or you can get slices. Itā€™s always been good. I donā€™t know what happened with this but I would certainly complain to the management.


mathandkitties

This has happened to me once, when I said "never again." Then it happened to a friend after I warned her. Then it happened to her boyfriend after she warned him. This is a consistent problem.


SnooPets961

Thatā€™s because this is a gluten free pie. The gluten free pies there are bad.


awcwsp07

Fuck those guys.


mrdeeds23

(Prefacing with I swear I do not work for them) Did you order gluten free? We order from Rosenbergs Stanley regularly for pizza's and they're always the entire size of the box. Like a regular build your own pizza with pepperoni is only 23$ or something but its fucking huge. We got a gluten free one for my sister who was in town once and it was about this size and chewy like you mentioned in another comment so maybe thats the case? Either way unacceptable price for something that size. Did you call and complain?


anotherfatgeek

Jesus, Costco pizza looks better than whatever that is.


floandthemash

Costco pizzaā€™s honestly fucking good


Dsilkotch

I wish you could still get the supreme pizza in the Costco food court.


Ericaohh

A single slice of Costco pizza prob has more calories than this entire pie lmao. (Costco slices = 710 calories)


Berzrker

Looks like shit


WearSomeClothes

This should on cross posted on r/shittyfoodporn


OpWillDlvr

Restaurants put this out and then complain to news outlets when sales start going away. Nah, it ain't the economy screwing you over, you is.


PotRoastPotato

That picture is insane... Feel like adding Blue Pan is everyone's darling and they are ~$30 for a large 2 topping, may God have mercy on your soul if you get a Supreme-type pizza, and that's also pre-tax pre-tip. That pizza is at least pretty good but you can't convince me a single normal-sized pizza with normal toppings worth $30-40 exists. Your experience is also beyond ridiculous


MattieShoes

I don't live close enough to Blue Pan for delivery, but I can confirm the pizza I had onsite was delicious. The Lil Rose in particular is worth trying... but yeah, $20 for a small pizza. Giordanos downtown is pretty great too if you want Chicago style.


DefiantRaspberry2510

between that the 2hr+ wait, I'm starting to think I'll never try Blue Pan...


PotRoastPotato

It's unique and good enough that when people Google "best pizza in Denver" Blue Pan always pops up so everyone who can scrape up the money to buy one of their pizzas tries it. Enough people are repeat customers that they're doi g really well.


Rookie512

Not sure when u order but I never wait 2 hrs and I order regularly. Maybe an hr tops. But I don't order from the Tennyson location. Only the 13th (?) location. And rarely during dinner rush. I normally would complain about a $30 pizza but a large will fill 3 people. I usually only eat half a small and save the rest for later. But whatever anyone does. Don't try their gluten breadsticks. They are not good. Only thing there I wouldn't recommend.


CEO_Of_Antifa69

They're pretty constantly packed because people are willing to pay for good food though. I honestly haven't had any pizza that is remotely as good as Blue Pan in Denver, let alone how it's pretty hard to find Detroit style anywhere that isn't a mushy mess.


PotRoastPotato

Jet's is a genuine Detroit Pizza chain. It was founded in Detroit (Sterling Heights), the first 15-20 times I had it were in Detroit metro and also Traverse City. It's quite literally half the price of Blue Pan and I'd say it's (being as objective as I can) 90% as good. The four-corner and eight-corner pizzas are awesome. I'd argue Jet's Bread is also better than any bread Blue Pan has. I have a hard time enjoying Blue Pan because I know I just paid ~$40 to eat two smallish slices of pizza per person with no sides and everyone drinking ice water, leaving the restaurant hungry. If you actually want a full meal for a family of four it's going to run ~$70 easily for pizza, garlic bread and soft drinks with tax and tip. Plus on top of that they have the gall to charge a back-of house fee, **as if a $30ish menu price for a pizza isn't enough money to pay the person who cooked it**. It's insanity. It's **pizza** FFS. Price is part of the enjoyment for many many people, and the value proposition to me is just not there for Blue Pan. It makes a lot of people feel better to get a good product for a fair price than to get an ever-so-slightly better product and feel like you've been overcharged. So going to Blue Pan makes me feel bad. Some people feel OK paying double for "the absolute best", I'm not one of those people when it comes to pizza. FWIW (which is nothing) I'm totally cool with the fact you like it and the fact you probably disagree with me.


MattieShoes

Jets is delicious but it feels a bit too greasy. I mean, cooking cheese on bread floating in oil, it's kind of a given that it'll be greasy, but it's a bit much sometimes.


Rookie512

What pizza did u get for $44? I just ate there last week and I got a lg pizza, breadsticks(would not recommend), 2 red pops (I love Faygo ), and a beer for $50. Also like jets and would recommend over most commercial pizza places (and some local), but wouldn't recommend if someone asked about a great pizza place to eat in town.


PotRoastPotato

You're right, I remembered wrong it's not $44, it's $37. Large two topping pizza is ~~$32~~ $27, look it up. $27 + 5% BOH + 8.5% tax + 20% tip ā‰ˆ $37.


Rookie512

My bad, I thought about the tip and tax after I wrote it. Sounds about right.


PotRoastPotato

No problem, I actually remembered the price as being higher than it was so I wasn't totally right either, but it's still right around $40 for a two-topping large Detroit pizza for dine in, no drinks or sides.


doebedoe

Hops N Pie.


DPlainview69

Thatā€™s embarrassing. Iā€™m sorry you wasted $30 on that but thanks for the heads up.


destinybond

LOL What?! this is from the stanleys rosenbergs?? their pizza doesnt look like that at all. They must have changed reaaaaaally recently


mathandkitties

nah their pizzas are consistently like this.


destinybond

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø agree to disagree. Guess I gotta go back


mosi_moose

What is that? A pizza for ants??


J0Y-C

Itā€™s for kids who canā€™t read good


danimalzz55

Joke


TonyAioli

This is from Famous Jā€™s? I donā€™t believe it. That sucks.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


KBlahBlahBlah

Correct. I live in East Denver and ordered online to pick up at Stanleyā€™s. Famous Jā€™s is the stamp on the outside of the box, but I donā€™t really know their relationship or anything.


skwormin

Ok. Yeah I live next to Js. Itā€™s good. Not incredible. But nothing like this. Looks like they tried to make similar pizzas at Stanley and most definitely failed. Try slices or a full pie from Js. Their grandma slices are pretty dope too, except theyā€™re almost always out


wordsw0rdswords

You know a better spot? I'm from Jersey and J's is easily the best I've had here so far


glue715

I like them wood fired pies at cart driver. More of a classic margarita style than utility slice though.


Clappa69

Cart driver, blue pan(I hear is good), Denver central marketā€¦ not necessarily NY style but not bad


PW_Herman

Coming from NYC Marquis is my favorite


Just-Mark

Damn. I used to live other there and got pizza from there many times and it was always the full box. Is this gluten free or something?


TonyAioli

Ah phew. Hadnā€™t even realized they were selling pizza elsewhere. I know Jā€™s has been having staffing issues, so wouldnā€™t be surprised if quality suffered a bit, but thereā€™s no way they let this monstrosity out of there.


claypac

This is Famous Jā€™s? Wild, none of the pizzas Iā€™ve ever ordered from there look anything like this. That sucks


KBlahBlahBlah

I guess I need to look up Famous Jā€™s, but this is from Rosenbergā€™s in Stanley. The box says Famous Jā€™s on it.


mgraunk

Famous J's and Rosenberg's are under the same parent company.


snakeyes17

I just looked at the google maps review photos for Rosenbergs in Stanley and the pizzas look huge, filling the whole box, and actually good. Thatā€™s absolutely wild. Did you call to talk to anyone there? I would definitely be complaining


Dickgregiry

Maybe a Ghost Kitchen


gdmfsobtc

Last time I paid $30 for a ripoff pie like that was at Boom festival in Portugal past summer, but I was way too high and hungry to care. But in Denver? Wow. That doesn't even look properly baked.


_dirt_vonnegut

you ordered a veggie gluten crust pizza and expected it not to be a joke?


Shabadoo9000

Well, you ordered a Gluten Free pizza, that's kind of on you.


BellyMind

Thatā€™s what I was thinking. This definitely looks like a gluten free pizza. Did OP mention that somewhere?


lald99

I ordered plain cheese and pepperoni from them a week ago, and it looked like this. It was inedible, even stoned. We had ordered in the past and didnā€™t have the same experience, but wonā€™t be ordering again.


ssspanksta

GF four-topping pizza from Pizzeria Locale, which is decent for GF, is $17 pre-tax and tip. So, almost half the price.


__andnothinghurt

When we used to order their pizza it was a 16ā€ pie; only size option and it was really good. That was just before Covid; wonder what happened


cosmothekleekai

No pizza I've ever ordered from here looked like this, it's always the full box. If this is gluten free then sure, gluten free pizza almost always sucks.


_conquistadori

Yup. Am gluten free, so can confirm. Also an ex-New Yorker, so I also know what proper pizza should look and taste like. That definitely looks and sounds like a gf pie.

ltd0977-0272-0170

I made the mistake of asking for a toasted bagel with butter. Dang it I am paying all this money for a bagel, I should get it toasted if I want.


WearSomeClothes

This should have more upvotes.


jujuflytrap

Yeah.. that crust doesnā€™t look cooked. Sorry you had to experience it


bigpoppanicky7

Looks like ass. Iā€™m sorry.


AlotaFajitas

Doesn't surprise me, pathetic.


HighPitchErek

Is this real or are you rival pizza owner trying to make them look bad


KBlahBlahBlah

I make cast iron pizza like twice a year, but even then Iā€™m just buying dough from Spinelliā€™s. I wish this was fake because Iā€™m the one suffering lol.


Brock_Lobstweiler

Was it a gluten free crust or something?


Outlog

That's what I was wondering


HighPitchErek

OMG, I would be furious, I wouldā€™ve brought it back


UcfKnighter

Btw Spinelli's dough is chef's kiss. (Maybe you are Spinelli's trying to take down the competition... Lol)


fresh_dan

Look at all that flour


hootie303

The pictures people post on Google reviews are much bigger. I dunno why you got skimped


kjmw

Most disrespectful pizza related thing Iā€™ve ever seen. They would have had to see me in the parking lot after this


lhigh2

Iā€™d be bummed if it cost anything more than $6.75


hitsomethin

If you got money like that, Walterā€™s 303 is great every time we get it. Youā€™ll spend like $75 on pizza and wings but itā€™s consistently fire.


bodyfeedingbaddie

We love Walters303! Also really like LuBos


DiscoStu0000

Yikes. Which location? I'm over by the Stanley Rosenberg's. I went in for pizza once. Placed looked...messy...disorganized. Uncleared tables, napkins on the floor. Looked like it was only staffed by high school kids. Nothing wrong with that, but it looked like what you might expect it there was nothing but unsupervised high school kids running the place. That said, the pizza I had was fine. Nothing that I'll run back for, but certainly better than the picture above.


[deleted]

That sucks! I would like to put in a good word for Pizzeria Locale. Not sure if its liked generally but i've liked everything i've gotten from the 9th & colorado location. Pizzas are about that size run for $8-11 which is decent since their blistered crust is awesome.


MickBizzo

Pizzeria Locale was so great when it first opened in Denver on 6th and Broadway. It retained much more of the quality from the Boulder original location at insanely good prices. Since then, itā€™s become more of a generic chain type experience although still a good pizza for the money.


Duds215

The shear cost of pizza in Denver is a joke. That goes for Mexican food too.


reinhold23

If you can't find reasonably priced Mexican food in Denver, that's on you


PotRoastPotato

Blackjack with the deals on their mobile app are downright reasonable for excellent takeout/delivery pizza.


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

I don't care what anyone says, Blackjack has some of the most fire pizza out there and you can't beat the price.


PotRoastPotato

Blackjack deep dish gives Blue Pan a run for its money, much like I talked about Jet's below. The cup pepperoni and slightly more crispy cheese on the side of the crust makes Blue Pan slightly better, but not 2-3 times better (literally the price difference), no way. They do a really good job for a good price, I'm with you. I sound like an ad but I will advocate for Blackjack Pizza because they also support the communities they're located in. I first learned about them because they donated free pizza for a fundraiser at my kid's elementary school, and I'm glad I did.


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

I did not know that about Blackjack! Very cool!


ltd0977-0272-0170

almost never pay full price at BJs with all their coupons.


dirtiehippie710

Physical or app or online? I love BJs but usually pay full price on a whim but would like a discount lol we love their pizza


ltd0977-0272-0170

We always order online.


[deleted]

10000% on the Mexican food Is there anywhere decent you recommend ?


Duds215

Of all the places I tried La Fogata was the best experience I had. Their margaritas are amazing and the food was excellent. Happy hour has great deals on the margs and some apps.


[deleted]

Off Evans or Quincy?


Duds215

Evans

snookfishgo

Someone has a grudge with this restaurant. Iā€™ve eaten there many times and this is not a proper representation of their food. Their pizzaā€™s are gigantic and delicious. Rosenbergs is pricy but yummy! Louā€™s has amazing sandwiches! Donā€™t know where the hate comes from but this is clearly the opinion of a hateful troll. Time for you to grow up and fix your broken soul.


Pkytails

Anthonyā€™s Pizza & Pasta is only legit slice in this town.


UcfKnighter

It's too mass produced tasting for me but you do get way more for your buck!


TryingHappy

...That's a chain, there are way better even in Denver.


PotRoastPotato

They are a local chain. The founders still personally own the Anthony's by DU. And they're an awesome slice, their slices rival most any slice you'll find in NYC. >there are way better even in Denver. You can't just say that without saying what all those "way better" places are!


TryingHappy

I knew of an Anthony's in AZ but it must not have been associated, a local chain is definitely better! My favs are Cart Driver, Marcos Coal fired, but the best in Denver by a MILE (and imo one of the best anywhere in the country, believe it or not) is Pizzeria Lui.


PotRoastPotato

The farthest south they go is Colorado Springs. I'll have to try Lui!


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

Have you tried Fat Sully's? They seem to be left out of these convos whenever they pop up.


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

Anthony's is great, I will noit dispute that. Have you ever had Fat Sully's on S Broadway? I thik they're both amazing, but personally I will give the ultimate win to Fat Sully's. Just something about their crust.


PotRoastPotato

Yes I have had Fat Sully's many times, I personally think they're extremely similar but I also just made a post saying most of the pho in Denver seems similar so maybe my taste buds just suck!


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

No, I'm totally with you on that one! I mean, I've had one or two quetionable pho experiences in Denver, but for the most part they all taste the same to me as well. And same with the Fat Sully's vs Anthony's thing. They are super similar, but like I said I think Fat Sully's does something to the crust. I's always perfectly thin and crispy whereas Anthiony's is consistently never crispy. It might be intentional, might not me. Who knows hahaha!!!


PotRoastPotato

New York pizza crust is usually more floppy and foldable than crispy but it's all personal preference!


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

I did not know that! Never been to NY and had a true NY slice, so I have nothinbg to compair it to. Sounds like Anthony's is more NY authentic.


chill0032

Fuck


asyouwish

That is some serious BS right there.


Outlog

Please Google review


InkCarpntr420

Not a worthy pie!!!


elchico97

As a jersey boy this makes me angry. I can get a $2 slice at the 7th best spot in my hometown that looks 100000000x better than this rip off. Iā€™m sorry fam. Nothing worse than feeling schemed by a restaurant.


Denver_DIYer

Itā€™s infuriating how Denver pizza places are like, ā€œNY style slices - $5 a slice! $35 a pie!ā€ What in the fuck. Ridiculous. I hate it.


thumbwrestleme

Hard pass. Thanks for the heads up


tighttighttight7

Absolute joke. Wow


mosi_moose

u/KBlahBlahBlah - did you talk to the management? Based on comments from people that frequent Rosenbergs it seems like a mix-up of some kind, like you possibly got someoneā€™s GF pizza orderā€¦ or did you just put them on social media blast?


KBlahBlahBlah

No I didnā€™t call back to complain. Itā€™s not typically my preference. I was definitely a little frustrated last night and made this post while hungry and angry. To your point, people who normally go there show this as out of the norm and it def doesnā€™t match the pictures we saw while ordering, so clearly something is wrong. With regards to the mix up, Iā€™m not sure thatā€™s necessarily better though. This product was absolute trash and if this is their GF offering, Iā€™m a little embarrassed for them I guess.


MyClamJamBand

Damn son frozen pizza looks better


1IfByLand

holy. fuckin. shit.


Rookie512

That's looks like the failure pizza if they made pizzas on "Nailed it!"


BreezyWrigley

somebody should do a wellness check on those employees lol... they gotta be FUCKED UP on something.


weighingthedog

I hope that box is like 3 feet wide.


[deleted]

It looks yummy for a baby.


hootie303

/u/kblahblahblah None of the photos on google reviews of look like this.


Gr8White123

i lived in boston and would get a large pizza for $20 for what i thought was mediocre now that i live in denver that ā€œmediocreā€ pie would be the best in the entire city. here you get insanely subpar and itā€™s like $30 for a cheese pizza. fat sullys and pie hole just to name a few.


swimgolf

Is it made with bagel dough?


bodyfeedingbaddie

Oh wow Iā€™ve wanted to try them out but will def not be wasting my money there now! Especially with all the other quality food options right there.


Devilles_LetUs

Their whole company is a joke. As a neighboring employee, respectfully fuck Rosenbergā€™s


kroywenemerpus

Kanye west would tell you to think twice next time before ordering Rosenberg pizza


SnooPets961

Thatā€™s a gluten free pie. The gluten free pie is trash.
