Our Story
How jet's pizza Became Aurora's Favorite
It started with a simple idea: make pizza that actually excites people. In 2004, founder Marcus Delano opened the first Jet's Pizza location in Aurora, Colorado with nothing more than a wood-fired oven, a handful of trusted recipes, and an unshakeable belief that great food builds community.
We handcraft every pizza using fresh-pressed dough, house-made sauces, and premium toppings sourced from local Colorado suppliers whenever possible. Our signature deep-dish square pizzas quickly became the talk of the neighborhood — and we never looked back.
Today, jets pizza serves thousands of families across Aurora and beyond, staying true to the same values that started it all: quality, generosity, and a genuine love for feeding people well.
- Fresh dough pressed in-store daily
- Premium ingredients, locally sourced where possible
- Family-friendly atmosphere for dine-in & takeout
- Fast, reliable delivery across Aurora, CO

We never cut corners on ingredients. Every pizza is made with the same care as if it were going to our own family's table.

Aurora is our home, not just our market. We sponsor local events, partner with schools, and give back whenever we can.
Sustainable Sourcing
We partner with Colorado farms and suppliers who share our commitment to responsible, sustainable food production.
