Papou`s Pizzeria & Italian Eatery in Denver

Lovely, super reasonable and legit Italian food, was so delicious and staff/chefs so warm and friendly :) If you are craving good Italian cuisine, support this business.

THANK YOU!!!!! We moved from Poughkeepsie, NY a year and a half ago, and have tried numerous pizza shops in the Denver area that tried to serve "NY Style" pizza. NONE of them came close to you guys. You have won us over! The crust, the cheese, the right amount of grease. Yes, grease. Nothing worse than a dry pizza. Keep doing what your doing and never go out of business!

Still licking my chops! The wings were amazing, the pizza was on point and the cookies were Deeelicious!

Very nice restaurant and friendly service. Food is over the top. Large portions and very authentic tasting. Good selection including cookies and pastries.

No workers wore mask, no distancing inside, customers eating closer that 6 feet apart. I have seen very few businesses not practicing distancing, and I will not return for this reason. I also got a slice, it was ok, too salty. Doesn't beat my few go-to's.

If you’re looking for authentic Sicilian pizza, food, and desserts, Bella Italia is the place to go! The owners and staff are wonderful and the food is absolutely delicious!! We will forever be their customers!

Yikes, no one was wearing masks! Food was okay, pizza a bit salty

Staff not wearing masks

Fettuccine Alfredo with black olives, Sam made just for me! Delicious!!! So awesome to see Sam and Ben...stop by, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing pizza and just a great place

Fantastic neighborhood spot! (But well worth driving from Golden to get it!!) Amazing food! And the desserts!! Just WOW! I think I could eat here every single night.

SO TASTY!! such a rich menu and everything we ordered was amazing! You can tell this place is family owned because they care about every detail plus a wonderful customer service. I highly recommend!

Really good pizza. Perfect crust. Nice people too.

Good food for the price you pay. Made fresh every time.

Bella Italia's homemade pesto is to die for and the atmosphere is highly informal, like a traditional NY pizza place.Yesterday when I was at Tonto's Salon on Leetsdale I overheard their employees raving about a new pizza place and the garlic knots. So, I stopped in afterwards and had the bruschetta. I haven't had Italian food this good since the time I drove through Italy and stopped in at a deli in one of those small towns with its winding stone roads. Bella Italia's food is the real thing.

Very disappointed.. Pizza had no flavor! I will not be ordering from here again. We already miss the old spot that used to be here. 😔

Consistently absolutely delicious food. The garlic knots are especially incredible. Sammy is the best, she is super sweet and great chef. We love supporting small, locally owned businesses. And are so excited to have found this one! 🍝🍕🍰🥗🇮🇹

I purchased one of my favorite snacks, Garlic knots. They were the BEST!! Also, their deserts are the real deal; wonderfully authentic and tasty. I recommend giving this new restaurant and owners a try! Perfetto!

The food we ordered was pretty good, however, our order was missing an entire entree!! Tried calling but couldn't get a hold of anyone as it was pretty late when we got it delivered. Very disappointed!

Judging by your photos and reviews, looks like a spot I want to try out . I will be in sometime this week. Plan on doing a video for my video blog. Excited to see what Bella Itialia has to offer. Cant wait to share my experience with my followers =]

The guy who answered the telephone was rude, the people in the restaurant were very rude and dismissive. The pizza itself was not great and the meatballs on the pizza were terrible. Don’t ask for crispy wings because they will Miraculously be out of them. If I could give no stars I would.

Everyone here is SO amazing and kind. Their food is always amazing and prices are incredibly fair. The best part is their selection of Gluten Free options! Pizza, cookies, pasta...what more could I ask for?? Highly recommend.

Perfect experience, thanks so much guys!

Best Italian place in Aurora.

Trying to support local restaurants and have it delivered via GrubHub. Order is 90 mins old with a ETA of another 30 mins and of course when anyone calls it’s “please hold”... beep... beep... glad y’all are busy, hope to see dinner sometime soon...

This is my favorite pizza place!! Really wonderful staff, and an amazing experience every time! Thank you guys

I order for a group of 20 people and it's hard to please everyone. But Bella Italia received rave reviews from every single person! Excellent pizza and those garlic knots - fabulous!

Bella Italia, y'all used to have the most delicious Fettuccine Alfredo, absolute magic. Just ordered it again and got a plate of pasta covered in what had to have been Great Value brand Alfredo sauce. What's the deal?

Been looking for a good pizza-wing combination Italian joint out here for a while now. Think I finally found it. Their pizza dough stays risen and doesn’t flatten out like a pancake compared to most pizza out here and the wings are crispy with a good hot buffalo sauce. Figured I’d try the pasta after they passed the pizza-wing test and their spaghetti with clams was tasty! The prices are pretty darn low too when compared to the quality you’re getting.

Omg that Hawaiian calzone was so good. Will be back thank you!

One of the best Italian restaurants west of the Mississippi, the fettuccine alfredo it's superb.

Just moved to the neighborhood and had to get that first night pizza delivery. Man, so good, we had to do it again today.

They have been great to us! We got the wrong order tonight from grub hub. We called them and they sent their own driver out with our actual order! They are awesome to deal with and the food is killer! Order them!

This place has major kudos. My Grubhub driver dropped off the wrong order less than an hour before they close. I called the restaurant to see what they can do and someone who worked there left right away to drop off my order that was left behind! Super cool. Plus the food is amaaaazing 🤤

Bella Italia is delicious. Best eggplant parm in Denver, and everything on the menu is amazing. It’s the perfect Italian comfort food for a Friday night pandemic dinner. Also, everyone working there is is incredibly friendly, and checks up to make sure you enjoyed your order. It’s become our favorite for delivery, and can’t wait to dine in person again.

ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli 10/10 very dank

Tried this spot tonight and was not disappointed. Great customer service, quick delivery, and good pie. We tried the rice balls, which I’d never heard of before and they were different but good! Will be ordering from here again.

i would have had better luck in the frozen section of safeway. wish u could get my money back 40 dollar order delivered not even worth 20 bucks. yuck....

UNBELIEVABLE!!! This is what you get when you let an Italian/Sicilian, cook Italian food. Perfection!!! I LOVE Italian food, and it is one of the few cuisines I am very picky about. This all felt and tasted homemade, and that's because they all were. From the Marinara sauce, to the dough, and even the meatballs and sausage, it is all homemade. The Ravioli Tostati was out of this world. They also had one of the best garlic knots I ever had in my life. The calzone had a very golden brown and crispy outside and was not soggy due to the mushrooms which is hard to do. I am looking forward to going back and trying their pasta and Sicilian style chicken wings. The staff was incredibly friendly. Very warm and welcoming. Made me feel like family. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Everything they make is amazing!

Food isn't bad, but I got takeout tonight and only ONE of the at least six or seven people I saw working behind the counter was wearing a mask, and he didn't even have his on at some points as I waited. Really disrespectful to your customers and community. I'll be getting my pizza fix elsewhere from now on.

Pizza is of poor quality. Little sauce, little cheese, little topping. Low quality chewy crust. "Screaming wings" were soggy, way too much seasoings and almost unedible. Will not be eating here again.
