History

Two floors of dining at Fargo’s Pizza Co (Fargo and Sophia on the left balcony).

It was founded by a couple of brothers from Missouri, Leon and Landon Gardner. They based the name on an old mountain legend named Fargo, a “hard-drinking, straight-shooting, freethinking gambler.”

Fargo met Sophia in the Rocky Mountains, whose family migrated from Italy. With no money but a book of family Italian restaurants, they opened an authentic Italian restaurant at the base of Pikes Peak.
