Walter 303 is a comfortable neighbor hood pizzeria. Enthusiastic staff transform the pizzeria into a charming location to slow down, chat and enjoy.
My 3 dining criteria include: architectural aesthetics, background noise, and the food on the plate. The restaurant opens up to shaded sidewalk patio. a great outside gathering place. the architecture fits into the build out of the building, the pizza is good. thin crust, hot to the table and flavors are spot on.
Variety of beers on tap and very good pizza make this a repeat stop. 3 out of 3.

Pizza Friday took us to Cart-Driver in Rhino (Denver – River North ). We were instantly greeted by Alec who warmly explained the layout.
We took the bar seat and had dinner and the show. the wood-fired pizza made quickly and consistently perfect. well organized kitchen. 12″ Daisy – the basil mozzarella, sauce and a bit of char was the order of the evening. It arrived as medium thin crust, bubbly sauce to the table. Hot, quick, perfect. The menu includes white pizza, mushroom, cart driver (sausage, kale,mozzarella and chili flake). A return trip is in order to work through the menu.
My 3 dining criteria include: architectural aesthetics, background noise, and the food on the plate. The restaurant opens up to exterior patio. a great outside gathering place.
Cart-driver rates 3 of 3 on Pizza Friday.
