Beau Jo’s Owner Chip Bair on the Real Story of ‘Colorado Style Pizza’

Beau Jo’s is a bona fide Colorado institution, but the full origin story of “Colorado Style Pizza” has not been told until today. Producer Paul Karolyi has been obsessed with Beau Jo’s since moving here in 2015 and seeing Denverites put honey on their pizza crust. Finally, he completed a multi-year investigation of the honey-crust phenomenon and the true meaning of “Colorado Style Pizza” for the James Beard Award-winning podcast The Sporkful, culminating in an interview with Beau Jo’s owner Chip Bair. Today on the podcast, we are presenting that interview in its entirety.

Check out that episode of The Sporkful!
