A Great Colorado Pizzeria Finally Has 2 Locations
Colorado pizza restaurants can come and go, but one has gathered such a following that they're ready for more. It's a testament to giving Coloradans great pizza and having determination.
They were voted the Best Pizza in Colorado by the New York Post, everyone just seems to love them at their original location, and folks are eating it up at their second location that opened in the summer of 2024.
With the second location, even more Coloradans will find them, as it's a little bit easier to get to than the first.
Estes Park Pizzeria Expands
If you love pizza and have visited Estes Park, you have probably stopped in at Antonio's Real New York Pizza. It's been at 1560 Big Thompson Avenue since 2018; before that, they had a smaller place in Estes.
Antonio and his family came from Long Island, New York, in 2006, and were disappointed in the lack of real New York pizza in Colorado, especially in Estes Park. With that, they decided to start a place of their own.
2014 saw Antonio's Real New York Pizza begin; it only took four years to see that their original spot was too small, that's how much Estes and the Rock Mountain National Park area enjoyed their food and service.
Once they had moved into the new place, things really began to take off. They made news by being one of the first in Colorado to introduce a robot to the team. Some liked the robot, some did not; that didn't stop Antonio from continuing to use it to help his pizzeria thrive.
Estes Park Pizzeria Decides Outside of Estes for Second Locale
It was in early 2024, that Antonio announced that they'd be opening a second location, outside of Estes Park. He was cagey about it; he wouldn't reveal what town for a long time. Finally, in the spring of 2024, he announced it would be in Longmont.

At 325 Main in Longmont, it's a great location to expose the pizzeria to many more people It's easy to get to from all over Northern Colorado, and is in a great part of Longmont.
I stopped in shortly after they'd open; it was my first visit to either Antonio's, and I enjoyed it a bunch.
