Postcard Pan Pizza bakes Detroit-inspired pans only four evenings a week from 133 Remington Street, the address it shares with Equinox Brewing in Old Town.
Why locals goNo standalone storefront and a Thursday-to-Sunday evening schedule keep it a word-of-mouth find inside a taproom.
TipHours are short, Thursday to Sunday evenings only, and the crispy-edged pans routinely sell through, so go early.
Choice City has cooked American comfort food next door to the historic Armstrong Hotel since 2004, a locals' room that visitors routinely walk past.
Why locals goA corner room beside the Armstrong Hotel, it reads as hotel dining from the street and gets skipped for it.
TipIt sits at Olive and College beside the Armstrong Hotel, so it works equally for a sit-down dinner or a pre-show plate; note the Tuesday closure.
Young's Cafe has long been Fort Collins' Vietnamese standard-bearer on South College Avenue, from crab cheese wontons to the house fried rice.
Why locals goIt sits in an unglamorous midtown strip mall far from Old Town foot traffic, so visitors rarely find the city's best Vietnamese room.
TipPortions run generous and lunch is the value window; the dining room fills with regulars who have come for years.
La Piadina griddles Emilia-Romagna flatbread sandwiches from a container kitchen at The Exchange in Fort Collins, with Italian wine and local beer.
Why locals goA container kitchen at The Exchange is easy to dismiss as festival food; the flatbreads are the real Emilia-Romagna article.
TipA piadina crisped to order plus a glass of Italian wine on the plaza is one of the city's best cheap dates.
Olive Tree International Market stocks certified halal meat and Middle Eastern groceries on South College Avenue in Fort Collins, open daily to 20:00.
Why locals goFrom the road it looks like any small strip-mall grocery; inside is the city's deepest Middle Eastern pantry and halal butcher counter.
TipThis is where Fort Collins buys halal lamb, goat and chicken; the shelves cover the Arabic pantry from spices to sweets.
The Welsh Rabbit Cheese Shop cuts over 50 European and Colorado cheeses on Walnut Street in Fort Collins, with monger-built boards and wine flights.
Why locals goA working cheese counter that quietly seats you for boards and wine flights; most walkers-by take it for retail only.
TipAsk the mongers for samples before you commit; boards and wine flights make it a quiet pre-dinner stop.
