History of Pasquiniâs Pizzeria
Pasquiniâs Pizzeria was started in 1986 by Tony Pasquini with the help of his mother Judy Pasquini.
In 1986 Tony was a senior in college when Judy inherited a run down, out of business pizza place with white walls and a fluorescent lit dining room of 8 Formica topped tables. Tony had worked in pizza places since he was ten years old and was anxious to use his newly acquired business school training.
Tony applied for a loan from the bank down the street and was surreptitiously turned down, after all it was 1986, the height of a bad oil economy in Denver, and in the midst of a Savings and Loan crisis; banks were not loaning money to anyone.
Undaunted Tony opened Pasquiniâs Pizzeria with a loan of $300 (for food supplies) from his uncle and 1000 business cards that said, âPresent this card and receive One Free Slice of Pizza at Pasquiniâs Pizzeriaâ. Tony worked at the Pizzeria from open until close doing everything. In the beginning there were more calls from bill collectors than from customers. Tony tried every type of marketing there was from newspaper advertising to signs on shopping carts at the local supermarket. Every penny he made he spent on more advertising or fixing up the restaurant.
Many of the elements of todayâs Pasquiniâs were born out of financial necessity (there simply was not enough money)âmismatched plates were purchased at the thrift store down the block for 40 cents each, mosaic tables were made from tiles traded at the building materials company that ordered lunch everyday, and wood chairs bought at garage sales for $5 were painted to add color.
Tony always concentrated on the food.
Every year he added new items to the menu in order to distinguish Pasquiniâs from the pizza place down the street. Tony wanted more than just a pizzeria, he wanted a unique restaurant.
Customer Service was always a high priority. Just because a customer only paid $3-$4 for a meal at Pasquiniâs didn't mean he received any less of a level of service than at a four-star restaurant.
And Pasquiniâs is and was always a place that is real, somewhere where people come to enjoy themselves in a friendly atmosphere, without hype or pretense.
In 1990, Pasquiniâs started to receive accolades in the Denver press and the place was packed from front to back door. The customers that came because of the good press came back again and again.
In 1992, Pasquiniâs expanded to the second floor, adding a small bar and another 15 tables. The second floor was an immediate success and gave no relief to the crowds that waited up to two hours for a table.
Tony licensed Pasquiniâs Pizzeria to Chase Kintz and Darren Carbary in 1998 to open Pasquiniâs Uptown at 17th and Humboldt in Denver. Pasquiniâs Uptown follows in the same vein as Pasquiniâs on Broadway (the original) with painted chairs, mosaic tables, and the same great menu.
Uptown has been an instant success, matching the original Pasquiniâs sales in the first few months.
In the Spring of 2000, Melinda, Tony's sister, opened a Pasquini's in Olde Town Louisville, breathing new life into the old Colacci's location that resided on Main Street for over forty years. The Louisville location features a huge vintage neon sign that adds life to the whole downtown. A whole new group of people now get to sample the unique Pasquini's experience.
At Pasquiniâs we feel we have a special placeâ
a place where customers and employees alike come and are treated with respect and friendliness.

How much money will I need to move into an apartment? And what will I need?
Sleepy
So I want to move into my own apartment hopefully around May-July of 2009. I live in Aurora CO but I want to move to Denver so I can be closer to school and my jobs
I'll be starting a new job in mid January and I'll be making 1200 a month being a nanny.
I just started a new job as a food runner and I make 6.50 an hour plus tips, my coworkers say tips are usually around 40-70 a night. I'll be working there 3-4 nights a week and the shifts are about 4-5 hours long.
I'm guessing I'll get a 1bedroom that's around 500 a month or less :)
How much money will I need to move in?
What kinds of things will I need?
My mom said I can take anything from my room but just my room. My room is in the basement so I have a bed, 2 couches, a tv, 2 tables, a desk, a bookshelf.

Wow, who knew rent was so cheap in Denver. I checked out some prices on craiglist and it does look like you can get a nice studio or small 1 bdr for $500. I would save at least $2000 before I moved in. $1000 for 1st months rent & security deposit, $500 for second months rent in case you don't can't find a job right away, and $500 to get cable/phone turned on, other utilities, and just in case money. It sounds like you have a good amount of furniture for a small apartment. I would just look for a small inexpensive dining table & chairs at target or somewhere, or even a thrift store/yard sale. Throw a tablecloth on it, and you can't see what it looks like anyway.
