Fast food is a great option for if you're hungry and looking for a bite to eat but you're on the go and unable to sit down for a long meal. Fortunately, there are plenty of noteworthy eateries around Colorado that don't sacrifice on flavor in order to get food out quickly for all who stop by.
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best "fast food restaurant" in all of Colorado is Beau Jo's, a popular favorite that dishes out a unique style of pizza called "mountain pizza" — perfect for hungry diners looking for a quick and delicious slice. Beau Jo's has several locations around the state. Find your nearest one by visiting the restaurant's website.
Here's what the site had to say about this beloved spot serving delicious quick eats:
"Founded in Idaho Springs in 1973, Beau Jo's pioneered what's known today as Colorado-style 'mountain pizza,' a type of pizza pie with a distinctively thick, honey-sweetened crust that creates a barrier to hold in the mountain on toppings. These huge pizzas are sold by the pound, and one could easily feed a family. Piled high with house-made pizza sauce, salami, meatballs, bacon, Italian sausage, and mozzarella, The Motherlode is one of the most popular choices. There are seven Beau Jo's branches around Colorado."
