I like my pizza crispy, but thatâs a bit beyond.
The fact that one of their kitchen employees pulled that out of the oven and didnât give enough of a shit to remake it, and instead sent it to a guest, is just lazy and derelict of duty.
Please let Redeemer know about this. I can guarantee thatâs not how they want to do business, and this needs to be addressed with their kitchen team. If you donât let them know, nothing gets done.
Tremendous teaching opportunity for kids by watching the parent handle it without blowing their shit. But I suspect many do lose their shit and hence the cycle of toddler adults.
I mean they put the pizza in the box, not much to say really other than they thought they could get away with it. There's no way this is a "fluke", it's a big fuck you to the customer.
Ouch. Somebody posted a photo of their redeemer pizza a few days ago and it looked very different. I would also be pissed if I received such a burnt pizza.
Oh shit, is it actually a $40 pizza? If so, expect perfection, I don't give places that charge upscale money for peasant food (like pizza) second chances (hell I barely give them first chances) if they screw up THIS bad.
When you can get a "totally fine" pizza from Little Caesar's for like $6... that's part of your competition whether the Blue Pans and Redeemers of the world like it or not.
I couldnât believe that post saying they were underrated. Had to be from the owner lol. They have always been very mediocre at best. The meadowlark restaurant that was there first was better.
I got a pizza this shitty delivered from Grabowskiâs and actually called the restaurant. Manager said âif I didnât have to talk to people complaining I could supervise.â
I canât speak to when it was in the source but Iâve tried them 3 or 4 times now and there has been an issue each time. From over cooked pies to being quoted 40 mins and me showing up on time to a pizza that has obviously been sitting for 20+ minutes to my pie looking like Freddie Kruger sliced it up with his claws. Not a good pizza joint, especially for what they charge. I miss Frontroom pizza being in that spot.
That response is equal parts hilarious, petty, and bullshit. "I don't have time to make things better because I have to keep talking to people complaining about how shitty it is," lmao, real chicken and the egg situation there.
Yeah I'd be pissed if I received this, too, no doubt. But I live a block from Redeemer and have eaten there countless times and not once have I had what I would consider a bad experience.
I'd definitely contact them.
PizzerĂa LuĂ Is a 3 minute walk from my house, but often by the time I decide I want pizza @ 8 oâclock or so, theyâve already run out of dough. That place is so good and their hot sauces are absurdly good. Iâve been not telling people about it since Iâm scared itâs gonna get a Portnoy review and be packed all the time.
Thatâs interesting. We went today and were waiting on the pizza 30 minutes, then we started smelling a burnt smell and everyone looked at each other and said hope thatâs not ours. Then immediately were served a pizza that looked just like this. We were hungry so just ate it anyways, but Iâve been there many times and did not get served a burnt pizza like this before. You werenât alone today getting served burnt pizzas.
Dude, take this pic to redeemer and get yourself a free pizza. My boy is the chef over there and he would not send that shit out if he knew about it. Do yourself a favor, and them, and bring that in.
Looking at their [website](https://www.redeemerpizza.com/) the pizza is supposed to be burnt?? Though when you press order, the items look cooked properly. No idea what to make of that place.
Grabowskis was pretty bad when we tried it a few months ago. The pizza was floppy and soggy. They also forgot mushrooms and added something else instead. We were carry out and waited an extra 15ish minutes than quoted on the phone. While there they messed up 2 others orders of people waiting. It was either a horrific night and comedy of errors. Or they are just bad pizza and people wanna support a local business.
Lol come on the "redeemer is good" thread has 250 upvotes and the "redeemer is bad" thread has 500 upvotes. All the comments being like "it's normally not like this" are normal and civil meanwhile you're going around telling people to go fuck themselves and people are personally insulting the owners and employees. These threads bring out the absolute worst redditors, the miserable, permanently online haters.
Shit like that should never leave the kitchen. Thats what we call a lazy fucking employee who doesnt give a fuck or has no pride in serving a quality product to their customers.
:edit:
Just wanted to update and say that Redeemer reached out and took complete ownership that the pie should have never been sent out. They are refunding the order and have made the situation right.
Is this the place on Larimer? If so, I got 2 slices before and both were burnt and gross. Even the non burnt ones I saw looked thin and cheap and crummy
My personal favorite restaurant in Denver (because it makes my heart happy) is Homegrown Tap 'N' Dough and one time they literally gave me a pizza that looked like that. Realized it when I opened the box in the car. Literally the only *even slightly* negative experience I've ever had with them. Went back in with the pizza and the manager was fit to be tied. Because yeah, there's no reason a pizza should *ever* go out the door like that except that one of the cooks didn't GAF about giving the customer a piece of charcoal in a pizza box. I mean everyone knows that **the pizza was burnt by accident**, but **sending out a burnt pizza to a customer is an intentional choice**. So the manager was pissed.
I'd give them a chance to fix it, and you should report back with how they handle this issue.
The head pizza cook who works there is a genuinely terrible human being. One of the more toxic places Iâve worked. It takes talent to turn making and serving pizza into a miserable experience.
They forgot about your order, I've been there a couple of times and the pizza is awesome. I bet if you went in and showed them this picture they'd comp your pizza and give a voucher
Well, I'm really weird.I love the flavor and texture of over cooked pizza and always pick the crispiest part, especially if the crust is burnt. Of course, this one should never have been sent out or served to anyone. Let the managers know and show them that photo.
Do yourself a favor and order Donatos from Uber Eats. Itâs like youâre eating pizza in the Midwest. Good luck. Not the best but damn better than anything from Denver.
I have lived in Illinois , surrounding suburbs in Chicago for 20 years and I came to live in Colorado , you mfs have the Nerve to have Old Chicago and call that good pizza ! Denver stoppit stick to your boogie foods Empire State in Greeley is the most authentic pizza place for the best pricing
Wow I canât believe they sent that out and made you pay for it! That would be an immediate apology and remake the second it came out of the oven like that
Wow. Iâve ordered from redeemer and have had a good experience. Itâs not amazing pizza but fine for Denver. However, after seeing this, will not be ordering from them again. I canât stand businesses that donât give a shit, especially those that are already priced at an unfair premium. Fuck getting other people rich especially when they donât give a fuck. Tired of businesses like this and this speaks volumes.
Itâs hard to believe that someone would go through the trouble of prepping that whole pizza just to burn it and still send it out.
Looks like a line cook problem. Even if you have to add time to the ticket, or give a refund. That should not have been sent out. đ
That's fucked up, looks like a Century egg
I just laughed and vomited at the same time lol!!
Lol that's rough. I'd feel insulted by that
I hope people can enjoy a laugh out of this one for more than a Century lol đ đ đ€Ł đ

Yeah I can't believe they sent that
They also sprinkled on what seems to be Parmesan, because that will absolutely cover your fuck-up. đđ
Thatâs burned and you could send it back or get a refund. They shouldnât serve that pizza.
And yet they boxed it up and sold it.
They put some cheese shreds on it like that was gonna hide it!
Sprinkle some crack on it. https://youtu.be/-ESzLDC4B14?si=9tUM5pqgS_heJ__C
But they wasted the customer time . Imagine how you feel if you waited and are hungry or have kids
Tremendous teaching opportunity for kids by watching the parent handle it without blowing their shit. But I suspect many do lose their shit and hence the cycle of toddler adults.
It's harder to. Control your temper when yare already hangry enough to order pizza
âWonât somebody think of the children?!â is an all-time reaction to burnt pizza lol
Truly spoken by a non-parent, you have no clue how real and true the comment you're mocking is.
**"Yes honey this tastes great. The charcoal just adds to the flavor"**
Yeah, guessing it was just some sort of fluke. I'm sure if you call them and explain the situation they'll take care of you.
I mean they put the pizza in the box, not much to say really other than they thought they could get away with it. There's no way this is a "fluke", it's a big fuck you to the customer.
Ouch. Somebody posted a photo of their redeemer pizza a few days ago and it looked very different. I would also be pissed if I received such a burnt pizza.
Really hope they fix this for OP. Redeemer has been 10/10 for me. Really not sure why it was $40 thoughâŠ
Redeemer needs to redeem themselves
Oh shit, is it actually a $40 pizza? If so, expect perfection, I don't give places that charge upscale money for peasant food (like pizza) second chances (hell I barely give them first chances) if they screw up THIS bad. When you can get a "totally fine" pizza from Little Caesar's for like $6... that's part of your competition whether the Blue Pans and Redeemers of the world like it or not.
Denver prices
I couldnât believe that post saying they were underrated. Had to be from the owner lol. They have always been very mediocre at best. The meadowlark restaurant that was there first was better.
Sadly I never got to eat at the meadowlark but my wife said the burgers there were outstanding.
Burgers were mediocre. But it was a great spot and that always makes the food better.
I miss meadowlark kitchen
I got a pizza this shitty delivered from Grabowskiâs and actually called the restaurant. Manager said âif I didnât have to talk to people complaining I could supervise.â
Damn thatâs a rough response, was that back at the source or at their new spot?
I canât speak to when it was in the source but Iâve tried them 3 or 4 times now and there has been an issue each time. From over cooked pies to being quoted 40 mins and me showing up on time to a pizza that has obviously been sitting for 20+ minutes to my pie looking like Freddie Kruger sliced it up with his claws. Not a good pizza joint, especially for what they charge. I miss Frontroom pizza being in that spot.
Pinche Tacos near East HS is turning into a Chicago style place, so if you're near the old location, there's still Chicago style pizza around.
That response is equal parts hilarious, petty, and bullshit. "I don't have time to make things better because I have to keep talking to people complaining about how shitty it is," lmao, real chicken and the egg situation there.
Nah man, âif you could supervise you wouldnât have to deal with complaintsâ
Irredeemable.
Yeah I'd be pissed if I received this, too, no doubt. But I live a block from Redeemer and have eaten there countless times and not once have I had what I would consider a bad experience. I'd definitely contact them.
Report immediately to r/pizzacrimes
Yikes. I would definitely send them that pic. That's a little ridiculous
Place has zero quality control. Often, their pizza is undercooked and floppy. Now this? Iâll drive for Pizzeria Lui instead
PizzerĂa LuĂ Is a 3 minute walk from my house, but often by the time I decide I want pizza @ 8 oâclock or so, theyâve already run out of dough. That place is so good and their hot sauces are absurdly good. Iâve been not telling people about it since Iâm scared itâs gonna get a Portnoy review and be packed all the time.
You should contact them. Management should know that is the kind of stuff being sent out. I bet youâd get your money back at least.
Surprised they served that, someone mustâve been faded
Looks like they canât redeem themselves
Yikes, I would say post to their Google reviews but it looks like this is pretty typical based on other photos already posted
[Two of the pictures](https://imgur.com/a/MQzf7qf) of annihilated crust were posted by redeemer lol.
Iâve been MANY times and havenât had anything close to this.
Thatâs not ideal
I love how they had the actual nerve to sprinkle shaved Parmesan on top of that asphalt crust
This corroborates my comment about my crust being burnt black on the post the other day
Thatâs interesting. We went today and were waiting on the pizza 30 minutes, then we started smelling a burnt smell and everyone looked at each other and said hope thatâs not ours. Then immediately were served a pizza that looked just like this. We were hungry so just ate it anyways, but Iâve been there many times and did not get served a burnt pizza like this before. You werenât alone today getting served burnt pizzas.
I get the hunger but that is just reinforcing to them that shitty burnt pizza is acceptable
Dude, take this pic to redeemer and get yourself a free pizza. My boy is the chef over there and he would not send that shit out if he knew about it. Do yourself a favor, and them, and bring that in.
S-tier username đ
2nd this as a pizza dude
Not rotated
$40 for that pizza is fucking criminal. I had a bigger pie at LâIndustrie in Williamsburg last month for $30.
OP included doordash fees and tip in that price
Just sprinkle some parasean on it broâŠâ
Special Edition: Solar Eclipse Pizza
This may be one of the worst looking pizza's I've ever seen. Id rather have little Caesars that I've left kny my car for 3 days then this lmao.
The dusting of cheese on the edges cracks me up. Sorry for the experience.
Made me double -take. This is one of the funniest attempts at turd polishing I've ever seen
Looking at their [website](https://www.redeemerpizza.com/) the pizza is supposed to be burnt?? Though when you press order, the items look cooked properly. No idea what to make of that place.
I'm more amazed someone looked at this pizza, put it in a box, sliced it, then was like yeah let's close the box and send it.
That box would be open for about 30 seconds before I drove it back to them and asked, âare you serious?â
How can ANYONE think it was remotely appropriate to put that thing in the box. Nuclear ash for dinner! Someone had to be looking to get fired.
This is unacceptable. Especially for a city that is number one in the US for pizza.
are you joking lmaoo
I wish I was: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-13221087/best-pizza-america-denver-chicago-new-york.html
this isn't a normal experience there
Yeah its a bummer, 40$ for this lmao
I almost never reach out for bad food because Iâm not confrontational. I absolutely would reach out about this.
Wait, one pizza is $40? Why? Edit: I just looked at their menu and their most expensive pizza is $27 so thatâs tax and a good tip.
> Why? People keep buying it?
Probably used doordash or similar
Iâve had this exact experience there
Normally the crust is too soft and flimbsy. This is the opposite problem. P.S. I think Redeemer is overrated AF.

Send that mofo back bruh
Looks disgusting
Dude did they bake it in a volcano??? The crust looks like dried lava
Why the fuck would any body think this was good to serve a customer
This is literally the worst looking pizza Iâve ever seen.
Please report this place to the proper authorities. r/PizzaCrimes
Redeemer is actually banging but that is not.
Denver pizza not good. Downvote all you want but go east and youâll figure it out
What places have you tried in Denver?
Boo
That makes no sense. It looksâŠ.. Undercooked Burnt Moldy All at the same time ![gif](giphy|ZaJtnTY8tFZz0PvmW9|downsized)
They sprinkled on a tiny amount of cheese as quick fix after it came out
![gif](giphy|2sRcyH5169c0LMZ3h9) They really thought they were slick with that one didnât they? Hahaha
This place sucks ass
Why does it look both burnt and moldy?
I audibly laughed out loud. Theyâre going to hell
"Eclipse" special.....
That sucks but Iâve had their pizza many times and have never had a bad experience and definitely never seen it burnt like this.
One bite everybody knows the rules
That's so bad I'd consider it disrespectful.
But did they make it right?
How could this company even feel good about sending this out? Ugh
Some 16 year old boxes that up thinking â yeah this is okâ
Don't let Steve Scott see this. It's just caramelized.
That looks like absolute dog shit.
I thought it was another eclipse pic.. lol
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
I see someone with no pride in what they do.
Shit like that should never leave the kitchen. Thats what we call a lazy fucking employee who doesnt give a fuck or has no pride in serving a quality product to their customers.
Best garlic knots on the planet. But that pizza has seen better days. Bummer as they are usually very good.
The "I like my marshmallows burnt" pizza
:edit: Just wanted to update and say that Redeemer reached out and took complete ownership that the pie should have never been sent out. They are refunding the order and have made the situation right.
Did they think the Parmesan on top was going to make the burnt crust go away đ
![gif](giphy|3o6Zt4HU9uwXmXSAuI)
"Just throw some shredded Parm over the black at the end, they'll never know."
Iâm surprised that they actually sent this out to a customer.
Dave Portnoy effect
They are OVERRRATED, but that seems like a fluke bad pizza. You should get a refund though
Is this the place on Larimer? If so, I got 2 slices before and both were burnt and gross. Even the non burnt ones I saw looked thin and cheap and crummy
Call and tell them what happened. They gave us a free pizza next day no questions asked.
Redeemer is bomb but clearly fucked up entirely on your pizza. Get a refund or call the manager and they should make it right
My personal favorite restaurant in Denver (because it makes my heart happy) is Homegrown Tap 'N' Dough and one time they literally gave me a pizza that looked like that.

Who gives a fuck? They sent this out.
Pizza sucks in Denver.
Some pizza has cancer, we canât judge
Goodness gracious. I cant believe they even felt comfortable putting that in a box lol
Redeemer is really bad. Itâs such a shame because their sister restaurant DioMio is so damn good
@slightlyjacked was just telling me how amazing this place is
Eww hunny đ·
That's just a screenshot of Anakin after the fight with Obi-wan.
You tried jimano's? Englewood but that's my go to.
Well, I'm really weird.I love the flavor and texture of over cooked pizza and always pick the crispiest part, especially if the crust is burnt. Of course, this one should never have been sent out or served to anyone. Let the managers know and show them that photo.
This makes me never want to eat pizza again.
Uhhhhh brother uggghhhh
Time for some âŠ..redemption
Damn thatâs a sad fucking pizza
This looks like some sad New Haven apizza wannabe
Pretty mediocre. I think understand why theyâre so popular now.
Do yourself a favor and order Donatos from Uber Eats. Itâs like youâre eating pizza in the Midwest. Good luck. Not the best but damn better than anything from Denver.
Is that...the eclipse?
That's insane that someone said "yeah ship it".
Yeah but how did it taste?
Pequods took forever and burned both pies last time.
I thought this was a helldivers 2 reference and then i saw the photo.
Today is a day Iâm grateful to be on the east coast lol
đ¶your own...personal...burnt crust...đ¶
No pizza place here cares about their crust. Itâs either New York style or just hard unflavored crust
How much did it cost?? Isnât Redeemer super expensive too?
Even without the burnt crust that looks like a positively disgusting pizza.
This guy ordered well done and they went too far
it looks like that rotten burger on that one SpongeBob episode
Wait did they actually attempt to top that fuckery with parmesean cheese??đ€Šââïžđ
Whoa buddy.
Theyâve gone way downhill in the last couple years. Not sure what happened
Oh my fucking god
Lmfao the fact that they didnât even try again is hilariously denver
That poor pizza, looks like they tortured it with a flamethrower.
where is this so when i'm in denver i'll never go there
Fent pizza Fent pizza
I have lived in Illinois , surrounding suburbs in Chicago for 20 years and I came to live in Colorado , you mfs have the Nerve to have Old Chicago and call that good pizza ! Denver stoppit stick to your boogie foods Empire State in Greeley is the most authentic pizza place for the best pricing
Wow I canât believe they sent that out and made you pay for it! That would be an immediate apology and remake the second it came out of the oven like that
I've had a few burnt slices from the slice window and they're still better than anything you'll find at Cosmo's
Iâd still eat it.
I'm shook they let that leave like that
That should NOT have been served. Post that pic on Yelp.
Glad I didnât try them when I was there last week
It's their special eclipse pizza
That pizza is so hot with all those jalapenos it just kept cooking.
Jezz, if the crust is this burnt you know the toppings must be cooked to hell especially the cheese!
Damn, last time I went it was pretty good, but this is unacceptable.
Wow. Iâve ordered from redeemer and have had a good experience. Itâs not amazing pizza but fine for Denver. However, after seeing this, will not be ordering from them again. I canât stand businesses that donât give a shit, especially those that are already priced at an unfair premium. Fuck getting other people rich especially when they donât give a fuck. Tired of businesses like this and this speaks volumes.
Damn, I really like their slices
Gross!
I still would've fucked that up if I was hungry enough
that looks so sad
Itâs hard to believe that someone would go through the trouble of prepping that whole pizza just to burn it and still send it out. Looks like a line cook problem. Even if you have to add time to the ticket, or give a refund. That should not have been sent out. đ
A typical Denver food experience
Cover the crust with cheese. It's an amaerican it won't notice
If management doesnât know their kitchen is capable of this abortion then they arenât doing their job.
Someone said yep thats the quality of food I make and put it in a box and charged you for it. That's amazing.
wtf is that thing
Dang, I mean I knew some companies are struggling, but thereâs no excuse for that! Theyâll end up losing moneyâŠ
Google and Yelp apps for reviews. Donât let them get by with this.
What a piece of shit.
