Bair wanted to create a new style of pizza and thought that a braided crust would be visually appealing to customers.

[1] Colorado-style pizza is made with a thick, braided whole-wheat crust that has been sweetened by adding honey to the dough.

[4][5] The braided crust makes the pizza more stable and prevents the thick toppings from becoming messy.

[6] It has some similarities to Chicago-style pizza, but is sweeter and has a shorter cooking time.

[8] Honey is commonly used as a side for dipping the pizza crust in[4] as a "built in dessert".
