Top of the Town 2011

Ever since David Bravdica rolled out his mobile pizza wagon on the 16th Street Mall beside the D & F Clock Tower last April, we’ve lined up for his wood-fired pies. The chalkboard menu is small—just six pizzas, including one weekly special—but it’s packed with quality and flavor. Ingredients are often local (mushrooms from Hazel Dell Mushrooms in Windsor, cheese from Jumpin’ Good Goat Dairy in Buena Vista, sausage from Il Mondo Vecchio on South Cherokee Street), but ultimately, the charred crusts keep us coming back—smoky, chewy, and addictive. The price is right, too: $6.50 to $7.50 for an individual-size pie. Bonus: Waiting in line is so much better when it comes with a dose of much-needed sunshine. 16th and Arapahoe streets, 303-619-0802, www.bravapizza.com
