Woody's Wood-Fired Pizza, Pizzeria near Washington Avenue, Golden, US
Woody's Wood-Fired Pizza is a pizzeria on Washington Avenue in Golden, Colorado, where pizzas are baked in a traditional wood-fired oven. The menu covers a range of toppings and styles, and both indoor and outdoor seating is available.
The restaurant opened in the early 1990s and has stayed at the same spot on Washington Avenue ever since. Few places in Golden have kept the same cooking method and location for as long.
The restaurant sits near the Coors Brewery, and many visitors stop in before or after a brewery tour, making it a natural part of a day out in Golden. The open wood-fired oven is visible from the dining area, and watching the pizzas cook is part of the experience.
The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, so it works for a midday stop or an evening meal. Arriving early is a good idea during busy periods, as it draws crowds from nearby attractions.
The wood-fired oven reaches temperatures far above what a home oven can produce, which gives the crust a slight char and a texture that is hard to replicate elsewhere. This is why many regulars order the same pizza every time they visit.
