Brighton May Have Colorado’s Best ‘Hidden Gem’ Pizza Spot

Thousands of Coloradans, if not more, enjoy pizza. Finding a great pizza restaurant in Colorado can be easy, but when you're looking for a buffet (with salad bar,) I think you need to get to Brighton.

Brighton, Colorado, Has a Great Little Bar & Grill with Pizza Buffet

Right in the heart of Brighton, near Highway 7 and Highway 85, you're going to find a corner bar: Copper Rail. It's been around since 2010 and one of the best things about the place is their brick-fired pizza.

When I think of great pizza buffets, I flash back to when Pizza Huts had those great buffets, which have faded away. I also think about when Beau Jo's had a great buffet; alas, that also does not happen anymore.

That's why, when you see a place having a regular pizza buffet with a decent-sized salad bar along with it, you have to give them credit. I have been to Copper Rail on more than a few occasions; it's great.

Being very near the Highway 7 and Highway 85 interchange, it's a location that's easy to get to from the Denver area as well as Northern Colorado.

I would definitely call this little area, off of Bridge Street, a place to check out for some great food; there a more than a few restaurants in the area.
