There are thousands of pizza restaurants across America, but finding the best of the best can be tricky. That's why GAYOT picked out the most amazing restaurants serving up delicious slices in the U.S.
A Denver restaurant was featured on the website's 2022 list: Cart-Driver! Originally opening in 2014, the restaurant operates out of a shipping container in the city's RiNo area. Cart-Driver is known for its Southern Italian wood-fired pizzas, fresh oysters, cocktails, and much more.
GAYOT also has a glowing review about the intimate restaurant:
"It's one of the smallest restaurants in Denver --- just 640 square feet and 25 seats --- but the menu is a successful repertoire of wood-fired pizzas, fresh oysters, charcuterie plates and more. The thin-crusted, Neapolitan-style, flame-stoked pizzas, beautifully charred and blistered, range from a New Haven white clam pie topped with fresh littlenecks and pancetta to a pizza bubbling with slivers of pear, ham, potatoes, Brussels sprouts and burrata. The oyster roster changes daily and it's worth the splurge; pair them with a flute of kegged Prosecco or a glass of La Liana Pinot Grigio. For dessert, there's but one choice: organic soft-serve gelato. It, like everything else here, is first-rate. And while this is a casual concept bereft of pomp and circumstance, the staff runs Cart-Driver with the same professionalism that you'd expect from a full-service restaurant."
The restaurant also runs the Cocktail For A Cause program, where they promote a unique cocktail every month and all the proceeds go to a local non-profit or charity.
If you're interested in joining the family, Cart-Driver has two locations in Denver: LoHi (2239 West 30th Ave) and RiNo (2500 Larimer St).
