In Short – Rustic wood paneling and Old West-themed decor recall Colorado's gold-rush days. Hungry families crowd the restaurant munching on Beau Jo's famed thick Mountain Pizzas and thin Praire Pizzas. Customers choose from about 20 specialty pies or create their own using one or more of the seven sauces, nine cheeses and a long list oftoppings. There's also a catalog of sandwiches, calzones and desserts.

only thing consistent is their incosistency

by naaative

Finally gave up going there...service usually poor...got an uncooked pizza once, their excuse was their ovens went out??...so did they not think i'd notice???.

i'm really surprised they are still around...i'm over them but there must be a lot of newbees willing to try them to keep them in biz...

  • Pros: pizza can be awesome
  • Cons: slow service, inconsistent quality

If I wanted pizza, I would opt for a good frozen brand

by raymond2greeley

I can't remember having a worst pizza.

the crust has the taste of a flavorless pretzel, unsalted

what tomato sauce is there (very little) has less taste than

something out of a jar.

The meat they call sausage is ground hamburger of

poor quality.

The cheese, i couldn't find or taste any

The pepperoni was paper thin and tasted like

pressed bacon chips

I think the mushrooms where of a frozen type, possibly

not thawed before making.

In fact i think the entire pizza was premade frozen with slight

alterations to fit the customers order

If the pizza was just cheap, I might be able to find a time when

it might be suitable for consumption. To add insult to the experience

the pizza is high priced and tables did feel greasy as mentioned in

a review I had read.

Thanks, and what do you want on your tombstone,. It will taste better.

Could I Get Some Pizza with My Pizza, Please?

by volitionx

I was born in Colorado and have eaten at Beau Jo's in Idaho Springs many times after skiing. The pizzas are WAY overpriced for what you get, the service is SLOW and the pizzas have a HUGE rim of crust that ends up being a huge ripoff.

I went there with a friend once, and we weren't very hungry, so we shared a small pizza. Well, after waiting about 1,000 years, they brought out this tiny pizza that was LITERALLY 2/3 CRUST with a small ring of cheese and mushrooms in the middle. I SWEAR the cheese center was about 5" in diameter, and the crust rim was about 3.5" wide, rendering you one 12" wide pizza with VIRTUALLY NO PIZZA IN THE PIZZA, all for about $12 before tax and tip.

I WAS SOOOOOOO ANGRY, because I hate being ripped off.

Bread is cheap and topings are expensive, which is why they scam you with pizzas that are mostly crust.

Much has been made of the honey-on-the-crust issue on this forum. Well sure, it tastes good, but for th price of a Beau Jo's pizza you can get about 4 loaves of good bread and a big jar of honey at the supermarket and eat that to your heart's content.

Beau Jo's is ALL HYPE, period. Old Chicago makes WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY BETTER PIZZA.

  • Pros: Idaho Springs location is quaint. So what?
  • Cons: Pizza is a rip-off, waitstaff is slow (probably all stoned).
