For nearly four decades the Saucy Noodle Restaurante has been a Denver landmark at the same location at 727 South University Boulevard. The little spot, known to locals throughout the Washington Park, Cherry Creek and Bonnie Brae districts was originally known as Jim Sano's when it was purchased by the Badis family in 1964. Sam Badis, a former Big Band Leader and Denver entrepreneur, held court with a gregarious smile and warm welcome and served up what is arguably the best pizza and pasta in town. Traveling the country in the '60's and 70's Sam would frequently buy unique antiques in small towns and haul them back to the Saucy Noodle to adorn the restaurant's, now famous, red velvet walls. When the family adopted a new name for their thriving business; The Saucy Noodle, they added the restaurant's trademark red and white canopy and adopted a slogan that lives on: "If you don't like garlic…go home!"

Saucy Noodle should also be listed in the Best Pizza category, because you have to go to Crozet to find a better pizza.

Maggiano's? What a lack of imagination!

Great, unpretentious spot. Feel equally comfortable going there in hiking boots and shorts, or in dressed up for dancing. Oh, and the food is yummy also!
