Every year, Pizza Today magazine is on the hunt for the largest independent pizza operations in the country. They achieve their results by sending out surveys to numerous independent pizzerias nationwide and use that data to determine which ones had the most sales for the year. Well, not to toot our own horn, but six Colorado pizzerias made the cut for the Hot 100 Independent Pizzerias of 2017! [caption id="attachment_24736" align="aligncenter" width="860"]

The winners: Woody's Wood-Fired Pizza (Golden), Cosmo's (Broomfield), Marco's Coal Fired Pizza (Denver), Krazy Karl's Pizza (Fort Collins), Fargo Pizza Co. (Colorado Springs), and Angelo's Pizza Parlor And-a More (Pueblo).
Marion's Pizza in Dayton, Ohio, took the top spot of the list with nearly $21 million in annual sales! But that's not surprising since the shop has nine locations. In comparison, Cosmo's and Marco's each have four locations.
Cosmo's Pizza took the top spot for Colorado independent pizzerias at No. 24, with over $7.4 million in sales. Marco's Coal Fired Pizza ranked at No. 30 overall ($6.5 million). Krazy Karl's Pizza in Fort Collins was close behind at No. 43 ($5.1 million). Then Woody's Wood-Fired Pizza brought in $4.7 million and took the No. 48 spot, while Fargo Pizza Co. came in at No. 67 with $3.2 million in sales for 2017.
