LRP Redux* installment 18: Yuki Pizza & Wings (CLOSED)

Update December 2023: This place is now permanently closed.

-----------------

I’m way behind on my restaurant project updates because we actually got takeout from Yuki Pizza & Wings several weeks ago! But I still remember the food, which was very tasty, so here it is.

Yuki is at 385 Crossing Drive Ste 105, in the strip mall by King Soopers, where it was preceded by at least a couple of other pizza places. It has some interesting menu options, such as a sweet pizza (house white sauce, mozzarella, crispy chicken, pineapple, tomatoes), but we stayed in our pizza comfort zone and ordered sausage and mushroom. We added a six-pack of wings with mango-habanero sauce (the other options are classic buffalo, chipotle, or teriyaki sauce or a lemon-pepper dry rub). Yuki also offers a garden salad, but we skipped it because we weren’t in a salad mood.

We liked both the pizza and the wings very much. The wings came tossed in the mango-habanero sauce, which was mildly spicy and very flavorful—and even though they were in a takeout container, the coating on the wings stayed crisp. The build-your-own pizza was also very good, with the slightly tangy house marinara sauce, Italian sausage, and mushrooms. I saw a post on the Yuki Facebook page stating that the crust will not droop when you pick up a slice—I’m sure this is true if you sit down and eat it fresh, but not after it has been in a box, as in our case. We liked the crust nonetheless, and it still held up except in the middle.

Next time, I’d like to try the intriguing-looking sweet pizza (if I can talk G into it), the salad, and the desserts (tiramisu or coppa al limone). We’ll be back!

Sausage and mushroom pizza. I like a crust with a lot of edge!
