Colorado's top spots for New York-style pizza

Zoom in: Audrey Jane's Pizza Garage in Boulder earned a specific NYT shoutout for slinging a "great slice" of the classic street snack.

• Roberta's, a Brooklyn-based pizzeria that recently debuted a Denver outpost in Urban Cowboy Public House, was also highlighted.

Driving the news: Manhattan's influence on the Mile High City keeps growing.

• Take the latest addition to Denver's pie-scape: The PZA in the Art District on Santa Fe, which blends East Coast attitude with Italian elegance.
• The PZA previously operated out of a rented kitchen at the Tight End, but this month it reopened as its own tiny brick-and-mortar focused on takeout and delivery.
• "The way I do the dough is a little more old-world, like Neapolitan — but the execution, the vibe, is definitely East Coast," Jake Rothy, owner, chef and sole employee at the tiny brick-and-mortar, told Westword.

The bottom line: There are plenty of pizzerias across the state to score a bite of the Big Apple, including Redeemer, SliceWorks and Fat Sully's in Denver, Rosalee's in Longmont, Original Pizza in Broomfield and Big Bill's in Centennial.
