Papa's Italian Restaurant

Excellent experience! Amazing pizzas and calzones - had combo and pepperoni. pizzas, white rabbit calzone with chicken. Service was exceptional. 4 star atmosphere because it was really warm inside in summer.

First time we have eaten at Papas. The pizza was excellent. Love the stone baked crust. Service was friendly and quick. We will definitely be going back.

Tasty. Not sure why people would complain about the pizza being burnt. Garlic knots were good. Chefs came and checked to see how the food was. That was nice.

We stopped for the night in Cañon city and asked a good place to grab some pizza and dessert, PAPA's was recommended and definitely didn't disappoint. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the fresh baked brownies were delicious, the kiddos spent the whole car ride back to the hotel talking about how far the cheese stretched since that's how you measure a great pizza. Thanks for the great meal 😊

Great Red Sauce!
Great dough!
I had the carnivore calzone. Delicious!Very very much like going to a neighborhood Italian Restaurant back in New York.

We still love it here after all these years! Pizza is delicious, and the friendliness of the staff as well as the owner Tom continues to make us want to frequent this place! The Friday special is a good deal for our family! They tried something new with their garlic knots and they are top notch 👌 So very good!!

Lovely family owned pizzeria!! We enjoyed the garlic knots and a pepperoni ,green chili pizza. Yummy!!! The personal service was the shining 🌟 our waiter was awesome!! The chef came to check on us too!!♡ they said , come back and see us !!

This is a quaint little pizza place. The owner is extremely friendly. I watched him open the door for other customers multiple times. He was not afraid to chat with us. The food was amazing. We ordered pretzel bites. Best cheese sauce ever. We ordered calzones. Those were amazing. If you're checking out this town you should check this place out.

Great food and great karaoke for the whole family. The calzones and boom sticks are top notch. The owners are so welcoming and gracious. Can't wait to go back!

Wow, I can not say enough good things about Pappas pizza restaurant. The pizza is excellent, the service and atmosphere is great! Upstairs there is group seating and a high dollar super high tech virtual reality stage and system for a totally excellent time.

Wow, I will be back soon and often!

Thank you for having such an excellent quality restaurant and very hig tech entertainment "diamond in the rough" in the small town of Florence.

We order a couple of Calzones and the garlic knots. The calzones were great. The garlic knots were awesome and a great Mariana.

I’ve visited Papa’s twice now and been impressed both times! The calzones are really good, and huge. The service is fast and the employees are friendly and enjoyable to talk to

Papa's Restaurant is absolutely wonderful. They accommodated for my mother's surprise birthday. High quality customer service, delicious food (I loved the white rabbit pizza), and an amazing atmosphere made this place perfect for anyone.

The virtual reality gaming upstairs, is the only one of its kind in Colorado. Our party took turns playing upstairs and I couldn't believe the capability and immersion of it. Our group of 16 to 50 years old all really enjoyed it.

I recommend this place!

A Culinary Delight Worth Savoring!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Papa’s restaurant, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and impeccable hospitality. Papa’s restaurant truly lives up to its reputation as a culinary gem, and I can confidently say that it deserves every one of its five stars.
The service at Papa’s restaurant was nothing short of exemplary. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring that every guest had a remarkable dining experience. They went above and beyond to cater to my dietary needs and made me feel like a valued guest throughout my visit. Mr. Papa was present throughout our entire dining experience and was a shear delight!
When in Florence go visit Papa’s Restaurant you will not be disappointed!!
Solo family!

Thoroughly impressed! Had the spaghetti and meatballs, absolutely delicious! Salad, was spot on Italian! Definitely going to come back and enjoy some more! Job well done!

We visited Papa's this evening and we were blown away by the food and the service. We are Italian and my Dad is native to the area (I am from Chicago where we have excellent pizza). We have high expectations when it comes to Italian food. Everything we ate, from the bread sticks, the generous shareable salad, the pizza to the cannoli was delicious. House made salad dressing was incredible. Of course, you expect food to be good at any restaurant, but sometimes, that great food can be ruined by a bad service experience. Our servers were so above and beyond friendly and engaging. We really enjoyed hearing where everyone was from (all over the country) and had great conversation.

We will absolutely be back to try the pasta next time! Such a gem of a place you have here in Florence.

Thank you so much for making it a memorable meal for me and my Dad.

My husband and I ordered the White Wedding and it was FANTASTIC (white sauce pizza)!!!! The large (16 in) was huge. Left overs for lunch!! Our picky eater of a daughter ordered a small cheese pizza (10 inch)and she ate the entire thing. We will be coming back.

Pleasant atmosphere with friendly waitstaff. Food was good - mainly pizza with a smattering of sandwiches, two pasta dishes, and a few salads. Nice setting, a bit homey. Local kind of place.

I really liked the Southwest sausage. The dice was not overwhelming and the flavors blended. The crust was then and folded well. The staff we had was friendly and helpful with suggestions.

We made a special trip here for Italian food, and it wasn't a disappointment! Food was delicious. The garlic knots are unusual with garlic cloves wrapped inside. Good service and friendly chef.
