"There’s perhaps no better food for large groups than pizza (but we’re open to introductions). Smith and Lentz just so happens to have one of the best pies around town, using sourdough-fermented dough with bubbly and crispy mozzarella on top. The large space was rebuilt after the 2020 tornado and now has plenty of room to stretch out with your pickleball league after a game. Grab one of the picnic tables, order up some pepperoni or cacio e pepe pies, and—because S&L also happens to be an excellent brewery—a few pints of their crisp German pils or Mosaic IPA." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak, adam sloan
