Popular Northern Colorado Pizzeria Expanding Into Loveland with 3rd Tasty Location

Having started out as a coffee shop in Estes Park in 2012, it's quite a Colorado success story. Turning a coffee shop into a pizza stand, then a restaurant; then multiple locations in Northern Colorado, with the third spot being Loveland.

What Pizzeria is Opening a Location in Loveland?

Antonio's Real NY Pizza, based out of Estes Park, is coming to east Loveland. This third location of Antonio's will actually see him almost "getting back to his roots" of when he first started out in Estes Park.

Antonio and his wife's first business in Estes Park was small coffee shop, the coffee shop didn't work out, but it did spawn Antonio into creating pizzas, instead. That first coffee shop, small pizzeria, was inside an almost kiosk location.

After the 2013 floods (that ravaged the roads in and out of Estes) Antonio eventually ended up at a great location on Highway 34 in Estes, at 1560 Big Thompson Avenue. That location became very popular, and Antonio's pizza became award-winning.

In the summer of 2024, we let you know that an Antonio's Real NY Pizza had opened in Downtown Longmont, after long-teasing a second location. With two Northern Colorado locations and dreams of expanding further, even to Hawaii, he set his sites on a small kiosk-like coffee shop, like back in the day.

This kiosk, near the Larimer County Building in Loveland at Denver Avenue and 1st Street, was at one time, home to Maui Wowi, which served Hawaiian coffee and smoothies; they closed in the summer of 2024.
