An OK pizza, but definitely not as great as the reviews here would have you believe. Rude, unfriendly staff. As a previous reviewer mentioned, this place is notoriously rumored for having employees show up on the web and write reviews praising themselves. There are much better pizza joints to be had in Denver.

Pros

+ Garlic knots

Cons

- Service, fake reviews

I can't say enough about their garlic knots. If you can't eat them there you need to take them home with you. Oh So Good! Their spinach pinwells are the appetizer to go with although I love their stromboli as well. You can't go wrong with any of their pizzas. The sauce and crust is amazing. Then of course there is the lasagne. I highly recommend either version.

This place is straight-up gourmet. You can taste the oregano in the sauce, the mozzarella is the brine-soaked kind rather than the pre-shredded, and every ingredient seems to have some extra flavor. The toppings even seemed arranged with an artful eye.

This little pizza place does a great job of making thin style pizza, delicious sauce and even better garlic knots. Lunch specials are good too when they are available.

Pros

+ Garlic Knots & sauce

Cons

- No lunch on weekends or holidays

I live in Westminster, so I had never been to Virgilio's until yesterday. I found out about the italian festival on kidspages when we were looking for something fun to do on Saturday. We decided to go an check it out, and it was a wonderful experience! I couldn't believe how much food they were giving away, all to benefit the Childrens Hospital. Virgilio is truly a wonderful person to give... more

I found Virgilio's from the 9news report about his Italian Festival that was a fund raiser for Children's Hospital. If you do not know these details you should visit there web site www.virgiliospizzeria. com/festival.htm.

Not only was this event a great thing to do for the kids, there pizza and garlic knots are fantastic. I will be a customer for many years to come. I applaud Virgilio... more

Virgilio makes the best pizza in town, hands down. You can try to exclude him from the Italian festival, but the truth will always get out. The money he raised for Children's Hospital was a truly classy move. No one can touch Virgilio's.

I ordered a pie sometime to go. It was ok; however, IÂ've had betterÂ. I wonder one thing. The last review was written from an IPhone, while at the restaurant. Who does that?... I looked at some of the other reviews. ItÂ's clear to me they might be planted to boost the overall rating. DonÂ't beLIEve the hype. I mean the food was ok. I enjoyed the atmosphere, but really 115 + reviews! ThatÂ's a... more

Great slice of pizza

The slice was great. The sauce was perfect and the garlic knots were wonderful. I wish there was not a minimum purchase to use my credit card. However, I would recommend this place if you enjoy pizza.

I went there on a recommendation. After seeing members of the Police and Fire Department ordering I knew this was going to be good. I was not disappointed. The sausage slice and garlic knots were perfect. Thanks.

As a budget "Food Snob", I am more delighted every time another one of these wonderful spots crop up. "Back in the day" the Mom N' Pops ruled and this is a perfect example of GREAT Specialty Foods in small, out of the way places, making a dramatic come back ! My last visit, three of us tried three completly different pizzas and salads. All were wonderful. The place is spotless, friendly and... more
