The Subway (not that one - this place was named years
ago) has been referred to as a "dive." Maybe it is, but it's a pretty
fair dive. This Subway is a direct link to the past...
Hosting one of the best juke boxes in the Denver area for
years,
the Subway is a Northwest Denver institution. In years past The
Subway was one of North Denver's more popular authentic pizza joints, along with
The Edgewater Inn (near Sloan's
Lake,)
The original Carl's Pizza (on 38th Avenue,)
The original
Gaetano's (on Tejon) and
Carbone's Pizza
- now Lechuga's (on Tejon St.)
[Owner] "Ray Longo says the Subway Tavern was the first
restaurant in North Denver to fire up a pizza oven 50 years ago"
- from the North Denver Tribune
Also on the other side of town
The Bonnie Brae Tavern (on So. University Blvd. - southeast Denver) and
Romano's (on Windermere in Littleton) were serving up the pie that
helped make Naples famous. Most of these restaurants/pizza joints have
been around since the 50s - 60s.
Subway is serving Colorado style pizza, pasta, sandwiches, *Connolles,
salads etc. and your favorite adult beverage.

If you are looking for NY pizza, you might want to go
somewhere else.
Colorado-style pizza is thin with a "crunchy" crust - not bad, just
different than New York pizza...Subway pizza is built on a thin crust, with
tangy, traditional pizza sauce, quality cheeses, and served with your
favorite toppings. |

The Chicken/Veal Parmesan served with spaghetti, salad,
bread and butter is surprisingly tasty and the portion is respectable
($10.65.)
The cozy bar with spinner stools is partially divided from
the restaurant's booths/tables. A back room with large TVs has
banquet-type tables and can accommodate large parties.
The Subway is a serious tavern; it's authentic in all
ways...The owner/family has ties to the band, Earth, Wind and Fire.
