Seems like someone from Denver moved to Paducah, Kentucky, and brought the honey bears with them.

Beau Jo's: A Rocky Mountain Original
@ Daniel Zemans - Yep, been there a few times. It's pretty tasty, they use organic ingredients, and they have a good selection of beer. Nice atmosphere, too, kind of funky and rustic, totally different from the interstate off-ramp chain restaurants that Paducah is full of.
I prefer a nice thin crust myself, though...

Oh, one more thing: If you're ever in Boulder, make sure you go to The Sink, on the Hill. You'll love the murals of Robert Redford as a janitor there (true story), you can write on the super-low ceilings, and dip their awesome pizza crust and seasoned fries in honey. YUM!

Just went ahead and registered myself just so I could talk about Rocky Mountain style pizza. Just at Beau Jo's? No way! I live way up in the mountains now, in the ski town of Breckenridge and nearly every pizza joint around here serves this particular version of very chewy, slightly sweet crust (usually whole wheat - we like it "healthy" in CO) and offers honey to dip it in.
Anyone know why we have this peculiar, heavy crust (and bagels that have the consistency of hockey pucks?)??? Altitude, baby! Anyone out there ever tried to bake at altitude? Even Denver, at a mile high, has issues, but Idaho Springs is somewhere above 8,000 feet, and I live at 10,600! Bread just doesn't like to rise up here (and it's really hard to figure out baking times when water boils at 97 degrees).
But Beau Jo's pizza? Flippin' delicious. And before all you "serious" pizza eaters comment back, know this: I'm a born and raised Jersey girl, so I know my pizza. You can't fold it in half and there's none of that day-glo orange grease dripping off, but this is some darn good pizza.

On my way back from skiing I'll just grab some coffee from Starbucks in Idaho Springs, then keep rolling down the hill until I'm parked in front of Marco's Coal-Fired Pizzeria in the LoDo section of Denver. It's the real deal:

@bialy: I will definitely try to get to Buenos Aires Pizzeria on my next visit to Denver, which will probably be in about 6-8 months. The San Isidro sounds good, but the one that really caught my eye is the Buenos Aires, which comes with Mozzarella, Ham, Hearts of Palm, Hard-boiled egg, Roasted red peppers, Salsa Golf.
@katiebee: Good catch. Have you been there? Any good?

I'm in the Beau Jo's is decent-but-not-great camp. It's fun to eat at every once in a while, but there are better pizzerias out there. You mentined The Oven -- I eat there once every couple of weeks, including this past Tuesday. The toppings (especially the house-made mozzarella and house-made sausage) are fantastic, as are all of the appetizers and salads. But the crust seems to have gone downhilll over the last six months -- what used to be crispy and chewy is now thin and crackery. Unfortunate, as the toppings are so good. But I still go for the overall experience.
I've been meaning to try Buenos Aires pizzeria, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

If I visit this is one place I will steer clear of. That stuff is not pizza. A lot of cheap filler there

Adam forgot the most famous pizza place in Lawrence KS that makes the Colorado Mountain style - Pyramid Pizza. Although Pyramid has gone down in the last few years since the former owners sold it.
