Over a decade after it debuted, the original Pizzeria Locale has been refreshed and rebranded by the award-winning Frasca Hospitality Group.
The bright and open dining room of the original location of Pizzeria Locale was buzzing with guests on a recent weekday."I stopped by to see what's changed," remarked one man as he chatted with the host.
The new addition garnered comparisons to another Denver-born fast-casual eatery, Chipotle. And the similarities were no coincidence:on the project. Since then, Pizzeria Locale has expanded; it now has five locations in metro Denver. But the Frasca group always maintained full ownership of the original.
The menu is split into several sections, starting with assaggi, or appetizers. Highlights include arancini , crisp balls of yellow, saffron-hued rice filled with melted mozzarella; a spicy version made with 'nduja is also available for $3.
Along with sorbet, gelato and cannoli, another familiar item from Locale makes an appearance on the dessert menu: the butterscotch budino , which is as creamy and satisfying as ever, and especially indulgent when paired with an espresso served in a particularly cute, blue-hued Pizzeria Alberico cup and matching saucer.Speaking of blue, the imported, handmade Italian pizza oven has been painted to match the new branding; it's now Naples blue.
