Best Bites: City O' City's La Chagall Pizza
The funky-cool City O' City on Capitol Hill has a loyal following of fans drawn to the restaurant's extensive vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free menu. On my last visit, however, an evening on which I donned my long wool coat for the first time this fall, I deviated from these selections and went straight for a warm and filling pizza. My choice? The 12-inch, six-slice La Chagall, a sweet and savory pie layered with thick and gooey Brie, sweet apricot preserves, briny green olives, and roasted garlic.
The dense, cheesy sweetness of the pizza was nicely balanced by the light, chewy crust and salty olives. When it arrived, I swore I'd take half home. By the end of dinner, there was nothing left—but I was warm and ready to step outside again.
Bonus: Save room for a chocolate cupcake—all of City O' City's desserts are made by WaterCourse vegan bakery.

Holy jeeze

That sounds SO good. I like how City O' City loves their apricots. They serve a delicious salad with the dried variety too. Mmmmm, City O' Heck Yeah.
Yum!
I love City O'City. Not only is their pizza fab, but the Udon Soup is outta control and perfect for winter nights. The Savory Waffle is EASILY one of the best things I've tasted since moving to Denver - it is AMAZING.
Oh My
That just sounds so delicious. What a combo!!
Pizza
Always up for trying a new slice. The wine would make a great Christmas gift, can you make this happen for me?
Wine
I want it!
Yes'r
wow
look yummy. sweet & savory!
Oh my!
I normally don't do olives, but I can see how it would enhance the other flavors. I may make an exception and keep the olives on there! Delish!
a slice of heaven!
Brie, green olives, apricot preserves and garlic! Sounds just like a slice of heaven to me! I cant wait to try it!
Ooooo Eeeee, I'm Not Crazy About Brie
I don't know why there's so much hullaballo regarding brie. In my humble opinion, it doesn't belong on a pizza or anywhere else for that matter. If the funky looking rind isn't enough to turn you off (and the fact that it's actually dangerous for pregnant women to consume), jeesh, tossing apricot preserves, garlic and green olives into the mix surely should raise the red flag wayyyyy high. Blechhhh.
Wine
it does the body GOOD!
Cupcake Please
The cupcake sounds great but I would have to pass on the pizza. Green olives are not my thing.
Amazing Pizza
This is one of my favorite things on their menu!
Greatest combination EVER!?!?
Pizza and wine. period.
Daaaaamn
sweet apricot preserves, briny green olives- wow.
Looks Fantastic
Can't wait to try this place out!
Yum!
Not a good idea to read BEFORE I've eaten lunch!
I know what I'm having for dinner tonight
I think this (with the chocolate cupcake) is in my future!
City o' city
NICE!
Pizza looks good!
My kind of pizza!
Everything about that pizza sounds delicious!
