WELCOME TO
PANHANDLER'S!

10,000 memories. 1 pizza.

Panhandler’s Pizza was originally opened in 1975 by the Foster’s and sold in the early 1980s to John Olsen. In 2017, with all the growth in Fort Collins, the original location at 1220 W. Elizabeth was getting torn down with the growth of the Campus West Region and John decided to sell the business. Louann DeCoursey kiddingly piped up on social media that maybe he should maybe sell the restaurant to a former employee like her! He liked the idea and Panhandler's 2.0 was born at its current location on College Avenue.  Panhandler's continues to grow and is looking forward to serving Pan's Fans throughout Northern Colorado, the pizza that tastes like a memory for another fifty years!!  Louann along with her amazing staff leads Panhandler's Pizza and is supported by a growing ownership group that includes many who have been lifelong Pan's Fans!
