Cart-Driver, the popular RiNo pizzeria and casual gathering spot, completed its indoor/outdoor private dining space build-out. The space, which overlooks the interior courtyard of 25th & Larimer's reclaimed shipping container complex, can host seated or reception-style events of up to 25 people. In the summer, the room's all-weather canvas windows can be removed, transforming it to a transitional indoor/outdoor venue.
The eatery co-owned by chef Kelly Whitaker recently expanded hours and menus to offer lunch, as well as "Before & After" happy hour and late night menus. True to its commitment to sustainable ingredients, Cart Driver has also implemented a direct-ship oyster program with Washington-based Hama Hama oysters. The naturally-grown and hand harvested oysters, available directly from the sea to Cart-Driver guests' plates in one day, join the restaurant's premium wood fired pizzas, seasonal market plates and signature campfire vanilla soft serve.
