Arch Pizza Co.

I’m from St. Louis and grew up on Imo’s Pizza. It’s a required stop on every trip back. These guys nailed it. Many try and they always get the cheese right but the sauce and toppings are just as important. Arch Pizza does it right. I know where to get my fix now. Great job!

I was warned.
More than once.
But did I listen?
No, I had to try it for myself.
And try it I did.
I actually ate it.
I did.
I spent $ 10 on a little tiny, flat, weird cheese tasting thing called a pizza.
Oh, with salty meat stuff piled on the top.
I did eat it.
I won’t do it again.
Sorry, St Louis pizza fans.
This is Denver and this thing is not pizza.
I would rather buy a frozen DiGiorno and have enough left over for a pint.
2 stars?
Well, the staff was friendly.

This was awful! The crust was thin but soggy, the cheese smelled like dirty feet and tasted even worse. Such a waste of money and time.

Been to this location a few times, always a great experience. I live outside of their typical delivery area and they will deliver to me anyways. Great owners, great food, awesome!

Imos in Denver. This place rocks. True St. Louis originals. Toasted beef ravioli and thin crust pizza with provel cheese. I absolutely love this place and will return again and again.

Nice change of pace and something I’d not had before. It’s never going to be my favorite but they were fast and friendly and I’d go back for sure. Kind of place I’d take friends for a new tasty experience.

Stopped by here because my son was hungry. We live down the street from this place and never tried it. At first i thought it was going to be NY style pizza until I realized Arch was in reference to the St Louis Arch. This was my first time trying St Louis style pizza and it wont be my last. The crust thin and crispy and the cheese is spot on.
My son and I got a 12 inch and it wasnt enough food. Great pizza. We will definitly be back for more.

I didn’t even know St. Louis had a pizza «style». I’d only ever heard about Chicago and New York. We were headed home from Brunswick and were starving so decided to stop and get take out as we had our 1 year old with us. Opted for The Tour of St. Louis since the kid isn’t a pizza fan… yet. This provided us with a large pizza with 2 toppings, toasted ravioli, provel cheese bites, and brownie bites.
The pizza was tasty and I am a huge fan of pizza cut in squares. I like the thin crust, but you definitely need more to fill up! The provel cheese is different and tangy, but provided a lot of flavor. The real winners though were all the sides! The toasted ravioli was delicious and I could have eaten a thousand of them. The cheese bites were so much tastier than your average mozzarella sticks. The brownie bites? To. Die. For. Not what I expected from how they looked. So moist, warm, and gooey inside! All three of us were excited about these and fighting over the last of them.
I’ve already thought about going back for these sides and making them the main meal! Will go back. Welcome to the neighborhood, Arch Pizza!

For a person born in St. Louis,
Who currently lives in Denver.
It really is, as good as it gets!
Toasted Raviolis, missed them :)

St. Louis style is not the most commonly known style of pizza out there, but thanks to Arch Pizza it is now available in Denver and worth trying. The restaurant is very small, but the food is all very traditional from the cracker thin crust, to the tangy provel cheese. The appetizers are the same way with toasted ravioli. The service is quick, food hot, and all very tasty. A must visit for fans of pizza since this is a type most people have not tried.

If you’re not from St Louis and/​or don’t know about St Louis style pizza, DO NOT expect NY pie or any of the crap NY replicas found practically everywhere in Denver. This place is exactly what I’d expect. The ingredients are fresh, the veggies on our pizza actually had some crunch (rather than being wilted), and it came out piping hot cut into those STL squares. The crust is thin and crispy, which means you’re eating ingredients rather than dough with a few things on top.
They have a great selection of Colorado micro brews and the service is spot on. Arch is small (I suspect they do a great take out and delivery business) and we actually met other people from St Louis grateful to have a nostalgic place for pizza.
We had the toasted ravioli, which was discovered in STL, and was yummy. Also had a salad, which was fresh and had great ingredients.
My ONLY complaint, which keeps this from getting 5 stars is that you eat off paper plates, plastic silverware, and salads come in plastic. None of this is good for the environment. Not sure if they recycle any of the recyclables.

Word of advice, guys – this is St. Louis style pizza! This is not the typical pizza experience! St. Louis style (aka Imo’s Pizza) is a thin, crispy crust with provel cheese. Read Shane M.‘s review below.
If you’ve had St. Louis style before and you liked it, then you will like this place. I haven’t had Imo’s in a few years, but it tastes just like I remember. The only difference was that I think I like Imo’s sauce a bit more. But this was everything I would expect in St. Louis style pizza.
If you do decide to try it, order on the large side. The pizza is extremely thin, so you need more to fill up.

The pizza was great! I grew up in St. Louis and I’d say this pizza was just as good if not better than Imo’s. Plus, the staff was very friendly.
For those that haven’t had St. Louis style pizza before, just realize that it doesn’t taste like most other pizza places. The cheese is very different and it seems that people either love it or hate it.

If you don’t know what St. Louis Pizza is, you should learn before you order this. It won’t be like any pizza you’re expecting.
If you do know, this place is everything you’re expecting.
We ordered a cheese and a sausage and it just as good as Imo’s if not better. You made my (homesick for St. Louis) mother-​in-​law very, very happy.

Here is what you have to understand: This is St. Louis Style Pizza. You might not know what that is and you might not think it makes a difference, but it does… a BIG one. (Full disclosure: I grew up there and am genetically predetermined to love it.) Yeah, I know Jimmy Kimmel hates it, but screw him. Jon Hamm loves it. If you are expecting or demand a more standard pizza experience you will be really thrown.
CRUST: This kind of thin crust is closer to a cracker than other folk’s ‘thin’ crust. It’s supposed to be stiff and crunch a bit. That is normal for this style. Yes, it’s a circle cut into squares. It’s been that way for decades. It’s not a gimmick, it just IS. For me the best pieces are the middle squares with the full bleed (in printer’s terms) of cheese and sauce right to the edge. But it was always key as a kid to get one of the four ‘triangle/​edge/​remnant’ pieces as soon as the box opened.
CHEESE: The provel cheese. Ahh yes, this might be the most polarizing thing. And I hate to admit my provincial love of it battles the middle aged foodie I’ve become. It is processed (a blend of swiss, cheddar, and provolone) and it has a distinct taste when compared to mozzarella. But I’ve seen the inside of a major cheese mfr; You have no idea the ‘science’ that goes into most… ahem…“Mozzarella” you eat.
But it really is the consistency of the provel that gets you. Yea, it’s true. It looks and feels like a white Velveeta. It’s not runny, ballpark nacho cheese or anything… but it does seem more like ‘cheeze’ than cheese. If you can’t have an open mind about the cheese, then keep on moving. You won’t be happy.
The Toasted Raviolis are great though ours were a little overdone (chewy around the edges). But if you are from the STL, then this is the closest thing you will get to an Imo’s west. Enjoy.
Regarding staffing, etc. My experience was just fine. They just recently opened, (check the date on this review) and when I went in, it was clear they were still in training and working things out. I imagine the holidays are a tough time to open a place like this, especially with delivery timing, etc. So give that a chance to settle down.
Finally, if you have a family of four teens or adults, go with the XL not a large. Remember, it’s so thin, it doesn’t go nearly as far as another pizza might.
My 2 cents. I hope you enjoy. But if not, that’s cool.

I debated between 2 or 3 stars.
I think the pizza is 2-​stars — «Meh, I’ve experienced better.» It’s not BAD pizza… (is any pizza truly bad? I love pizza.) However, I’m not in a hurry to order Arch’s pizza again. From the descriptions on the website, you’d think the pizza would be packed full of tangy flavor. It wasn’t. It was actually pretty bland. But… the cheese was melted and the crust was crisp. I ate it all and enjoyed the experience of eating pizza. Nothing was truly odious about it. Just bland, weirdly-​cut pizza.
The reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because ordering online was really easy. I’m glad they invested in having that functionality on their website. The person who delivered was also polite and the pizza was warm when it got to me.
I think this would be a good place to order for sporting get togethers– small slices for multiple people.

Terrible pizza! What the heck kind of cheese do they use? It is gelatinous, and flavorless. This place is a waste of money, don’t bother. How can you make BAD pizza? I love pizza! Frozen pizza is much better than this place. (It’s St. Louis style) St. Louis should have stopped with BBQ, and this place is proof.

FIND YOUR PIZZA SOMEWHERE ELSE! We ordered the Tour of St Louis for delivery. Aaron, the person who took our order was rude and unprofessional on the initial call, interrupting me during the order and making me repeat myself several times.
An hour and 15 minutes after ordering, when our pizza had still not arrived, we called only to have Aaron once again rudely tell us that our order was sitting there waiting for delivery driver, and we might receive our pizza in another 15 minutes. Needless to say our pizza was barely warm when it got here, and the quality was very poor. We will never order from The Arch again.

Ordered for the second time tonight. The first time I was a little disappointed. Because there was hardly any sauce on the pizza that time… it didn’t measure up.
Tonight our pizzas were right on the money. Perfect ratio of that great thin crust, spices, sauce and provel cheese. Truly the square beyond compare!

The Tangy Cardinal was quite tasty. The toasted raviolis were okay. Kinda pricey. The online ordering is pretty cool. The restaurant is bright and clean and has limited seating.
