Jet's Pizza was born from a simple dream: to bring the authentic taste of Detroit-style deep dish pizza to the vibrant community of Aurora, Colorado. Founded in 2009 by the Martinez family, what started as a small corner shop quickly became a neighborhood institution.
We fell in love with the Detroit-style approach — that irresistible crispy, caramelized cheese crust, the airy rectangular dough, and bold toppings piled high. We perfected the recipe over months of testing, blending Michigan tradition with Colorado creativity.
Today, Jet's Pizza serves thousands of loyal customers from our Aurora location. Every pie is still crafted by hand with premium ingredients, fresh dough made daily, and the same passion that started it all. We're not just a pizza place — we're your neighborhood's slice of joy.
To craft exceptional Detroit-style pizza using the finest ingredients, served with genuine warmth and hospitality — making every bite a reason to come back. We believe great pizza has the power to bring people together, spark joy, and create lasting memories.
These principles guide every pizza we make, every customer we serve, and every decision we take.
We source the freshest produce, premium meats, and real cheese — never processed shortcuts — because quality starts at the source.
Aurora is our home. We invest in local partnerships, sponsor neighborhood events, and give back to the community that built us.
Every pizza is handcrafted with time-honored Detroit-style techniques. We respect the craft and never cut corners on flavor.
We believe food should make you smile. We pour genuine happiness into every recipe, every interaction, every box we close.
From a single oven to a community staple — here's how Jet's Pizza grew slice by slice.
The Martinez family opens Jet's Pizza in a modest 800 sq ft space on E Alameda Ave. With just two employees and one oven, they serve their first Detroit-style deep dish to a curious Aurora neighborhood. The line wrapped around the block on opening day.
Jet's Pizza is named "Best New Restaurant" by the Aurora Gazette. The signature Jet's Classic deep dish — loaded with Wisconsin brick cheese, pepperoni, and herb-infused tomato sauce — becomes a local legend almost overnight.
Growing demand prompts a full renovation and expansion to our current 2,400 sq ft location at Unit F-1. We triple our kitchen capacity, add a modern dining area, and launch online ordering — bringing Jet's Pizza to more Colorado homes than ever before.
We partner with three Colorado farms to source seasonal vegetables and herbs locally. Our menu expands with gourmet vegetarian and vegan options, earning praise from food critics and health-conscious customers alike.
During the pandemic, Jet's Pizza pivots swiftly to contactless delivery and curbside pickup. We donate over 2,000 pizzas to healthcare workers and first responders across Aurora — proving that great food and great character go hand in hand.
With a brand new website, streamlined online ordering, and an expanded catering program, Jet's Pizza enters an exciting new chapter. We continue to honor our Detroit roots while embracing modern flavors — and the best is yet to come.
Passionate, skilled, and dedicated — our team puts heart and craft into everything that comes out of our kitchen.
