luckypie = best neapolitan pizza in the front range. luckypie (lp) is exactly what old town louisville needed... what is better than a neopolitan pizza and craft beer joint? luckypie is a perfect place for all sorts of situations: watching sports games, going on a date night, having a group get-together, taking the family out, or just grabbing a beer by yourself at the friendly bar.
luckypie has a modern-esque decor that elicits a fun vibe. during the warmer months, you can sit on the spacious, comfortable patio and enjoy the colorado weather. the inside consists of a fun lounge (which is perfect for large groups getting together or for people just enjoying some drinks and apps), a full bar (that has a complete wine list, a large selection of liqueur, and 21 taps of craft beer -- ill get to that later), and a beautiful dining room with an open kitchen.
now the food... lp likes to change their menu based on the season; furthermore, the ingredients are seasonal, organic and fresh from many local farms in the front range. lp knows how to make a pie. this pizza is made in the most top-of-the-line pizza oven with the help of chef joe troupe. troupe does not mess around when making neapolitan pizza. i recommend the grinder; it is a pie filled with cured meats, san marzano tomato sauce, and chiles to give it that extra spice. however, you cannot go wrong with the basic smoked mozzarella or margarita (depending on the season) or even the pepperoni. don't worry -- if you're not in the mood for pie, there are plenty of other other options... the half roasted chicken won't let you down. this chicken comes from a local farm in haxtun, colorado. also, the salads and appetizers are amazing. there is always a great selection of meats and cheeses at lp, so can't go wrong with a meat and cheese board. the lamb meatballs are one of my favorites... but beware because they are really spicy. three pigs is basically an assortment of different types of bacon -- who doesn't love bacon???
now the beer... i am not a big wine guy; however, i have heard from many people that lp's wine list is amazing. anyways, the beer. the beer selection is epic. who else in louisville has 21 taps of beer? who else in louisville has 21 taps of craft beer? no one. lp offers a variety of craft beers from all over: colorado, california, delaware, belgium, ireland, oregon, washington, the netherlands, etc. you will find every colorado microbrew on tap at some point whether it's oskar blues, odell, new belgium, black fox, trinity, ska, avery, etc. the cool thing is that they manage to tap some rare, hard-to-find brews like deshutes abyss imperial stout or odell's bourbon barrel stout. there are about 10 types of bottled beer as well, which includes some non-beersnob brews like coors (if you just want something light that's not craft beer).
the service is great, too! every server or bartender that has waited on me has been friendly and efficient. the owner, brendan, is always showing his face and making sure that your experience is going well. i really appreciate a restaurant with such high-quality service.
