Linger Over Pintxos and Pizza with Friends in Denver
Sample Spanish and Portuguese small plates in Union Station's Great Hall, with Neapolitan baking offering a different kind of group meal in Ballpark. Limoncello wings and salads give the pizza order room to branch out.
Union Station and Ballpark
An Iberian Gathering
Ultreia sits inside the Great Hall of Denver Union Station. Doors open daily at 11:00 AM. The menu draws on Spain and Portugal, with tapas and pintxos built around sharing. Seasonal selections rotate, giving friends a choice of small plates to order together. Orange banquettes and pink dining chairs frame the room. Daily happy hour runs from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. A five percent Denver Minimum Wage fee is added to every bill.
Dough, Oven, Neighborhood
At Marco's Coal Fired, traditional Neapolitan pies start with imported Antico Molino Caputo '00' flour, Italian cheeses, and Colorado produce. The kitchen also offers dedicated gluten-free options, including a GF Brooklyn pie, alongside baked Stromboli and fresh salads. Limoncello wings extend savory choices beyond pizza. The Ballpark address is 2129 Larimer St near Coors Field. Weekday closing is 9:00 PM, with Friday and Saturday service until 10:00 PM.
Small Bites Meet the Oven
Ultreia and Marco's Coal Fired offer two distinct ways to shape a Denver meal around different appetites. At the Union Station restaurant, Spanish and Portuguese tapas and pintxos encourage a spread of small plates, with seasonal rotation shaping the selection. At the Ballpark pizzeria, Neapolitan pies anchor a menu that also includes limoncello wings, salads and dedicated gluten-free options. The comparison comes down to dining format, sampling across Iberian dishes or centering the order on pizza with accompaniments.
