We had heard this had newly opened place and decided to go here with 3 others on a Sunday night (holiday long weekend) based on high praise from another friend. I don't think I'll be going back soon due to the price point and wait time, but I thought the pizzas were delicious. I also appreciated the plethora of vegetarian/vegan options represented in both the snacks and pizza sections.
Ambiance: Walking in, there is a lively vibe with more straightforward and simpler, modern decorations blending a pizzeria/brewery environment. You can see parts of the brewery equipment through giant windows behind long counter, and it has an overall laid-back atmosphere.
Food: We ordered a snack and two pizzas for our group of 4.
- Charred cauliflower: Based on the images I had seen on Yelp, I had anticipated this to be a crispier, golden cauliflower dish. However, it came out as a more boiled cauliflower with some char to it, which was still decent, but a bit underwhelming. However, I did enjoy the accompanying tasty chili butter, and the chopped almonds were a pleasantly surprising addition with their crunch factor.
- Cheese pizza: Solid pizza. Came out piping hot. I appreciated the fresh sharpness of the pecorino romano shining alongside the salty, savory parmesan reggiano here.
- Mushroom pizza: A+. Delicious. Savory. Umami bomb. I loved the choice of the mushrooms in this dish (maitake, shiitake, cremini) with the two sharp cheeses. The first bite into this crispy, warm slice was an immediate explosion of intense flavors, that ended all too soon by my last bite that I devoured.
Service: No complaints about the server, but the wait for pizza was incredibly long. It felt that it must have been 40 minutes before the first pizza came out, and then another 10-20 minutes for the second pizza. I wasn't anticipating a slow 3-course meal at this brewery/pizzeria when walking in.
While I would give the mushroom pizza a 5/5, I think my experience had to be a 3/5 due to a mix of the cost and wait times. We ended up spending about $16-$17/person, and some of us still left a bit hungry, and this felt unreasonable to me. The cauliflower snack portion size felt rather small for the price, and the pizzas are not filling enough for the cost; I think a possibly thicker crust to the pizzas would honestly help a lot. Thus, I settled for a 4/5.
