Don’t Think Beau Jo’s is the Best Pizza in Fort Collins? Here is Why You Are Wrong:
Do you think that Beau Jo’s is inferior overall to any pizza joint in Fort Collins? Do you disagree that Beau Jo’s contains the best overall mix of deals, quality of food, and in-store atmosphere compared to other pizza joints in Fort Collins? Are you a bandwagon Krazy Karls fan? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I will now tell you why you are wrong and need to reconsider your life.
Many people usually rule out Beau Jo’s when thinking of their go-to pizza in Fort Collins. Sometimes because they think it will be too expensive, or take too long. Sometimes it just doesn’t have the same hype as Krazy Karls.
Sometimes you just need to look at the details.
Since Beau Jo’s is really good, and a sit down restaurant, it must be expensive right?
Wrong.
Beau Jo’s actually has some very reasonable prices when you consider what you are getting.
According to their menu, you can order a five-pound loaded specialty pizza, which they recommend for feeding seven people, for $39.99. If you split that monster between seven friends, it becomes under six dollars per person.
While it is true that you could go to Pizza Casbah on Monday or Tuesday between 2–5pm and purchase six slices of cheese pizza for the same price, the Beau Jo’s deal is all day every day, loaded up with delicious toppings, and still able to satisfy your hunger. Despite a popular thought among Fort Collins residents, Beau Jo’s makes their pizza very affordable.
The quality of Beau Jo’s is not hardly disputed, yet it is definitely one of the largest factors that makes it the best pizza in Fort Collins.
Beau Jo’s has trademarked their pizza as the “Colorado Mountain Pie,” due to the ‘mountain’ of fresh toppings that they throw on top. Beau Jo’s hand rolls their crust to be very thick and delicious, and provides honey to complement the leftovers.
The company provides many healthy pizza options such as wheat crust, numerous veggie pizzas, gluten free crust, and naturally sweetened pizza sauce to eliminate additional sugar.
All of this information can be found on their menu.
Although you can find the upmost satisfaction of quality with a drunken experience at Krazy Karls, Beau Jo’s has countless options for healthy, filling, and detectable quality that is unique to the company and unmatched in Fort Collins on any occasion.
But what if I sit down and get bored while I wait for a pizza? If you are asking yourself this question, you need to do three things: grow a pair, consider the following information, and go to Beau Jo’s.
You have many options here. Beau Jo’s has a great in store atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy your wait.
First of all, if you really don’t want to wait in the store, you could always order take-out.
However, at the Fort Collins location, there is a bar that you can order from while you wait. They offer three-dollar Fireball shots every day, daily drink specials, and happy hour from 3–6pm.
Another option is on Monday nights when it is free to play trivia from 7–9pm, which could be a fun way to pass the time.
Beau Jo’s is average when it comes to speed. It takes about 20–30 minutes to make a pizza depending on the size. While that may not be as fast as Cosmo’s, who makes their pizza in advance and then heats it up when ordered, Krazy Karls can sometimes take two hours when they are slammed on a Friday night.
As far as in-store atmosphere goes, Beau Jo’s makes a solid effort to get your pizza to you quickly and give you a great time while you wait.
While it may seem like I hate Krazy Karls, I actually think it is a tremendous pizza joint. There are many stores in Fort Collins such as KK’s that gives Beau Jo’s a run for its money in certain areas that contribute to great pizza. However, it is my belief that Beau Jo’s is the most consistent in not only deals, but also quality and in-store atmosphere. Its ability to give the customer a great experience in all three areas is why I believe that Beau Jo’s in the best pizza in Fort Collins.
