Classic New York-Style ‘Late Night’ Pizza Joint in Colorado Closing

By the fall of 2024, there's going to be not only one less pizza place in Colorado, but a place that has been a "go to" joint for those needing a bite, late.

This place has been around over 20 years, and is getting set to close up, leaving big fans behind; it's another reminder to all of us, to frequent the places we enjoy, more often.

Not all is lost, though for fans of this "Jesus" joint, though.

Just about everybody loves pizza; it's easy to eat, relatively inexpensive, and brings people together. People of all ages enjoy grabbing a slice, whether it be at your weekly place, or a special "joint," while you're traveling.

..well-worn favorites like Benny Blanco's cannot be duplicated.
