Our family visited Novelty Hill Januik on the Saturday morning following Thanksgiving. We were a group of 7 and had put in 2 separate reservations due to not having called ahead of time to reserve seating for our larger party. We anticipated sitting separately given the reservations, but the hostess who checked us in graciously accommodated us at a larger table outside under their heated seating. After someone in our party spoke with a staff member inside, they were then able to accommodate us inside even though they were not obligated to. We were grateful, given how chilly it was outside despite the outdoor heaters.
To start, we were each brought a complimentary white wine to taste. Our table shared 3 pizzas and the truffle fries and ordered 3 tasting flights. Wine in general doesn't agree with me, so my review will be focused on the food, which we all were super impressed with. The website doesn't have their food offerings posted, so we expected just charcuterie and small snacks, but were pleased to find the pizzas along with a variety of shareables on the menu including wings, salads, etc. The truffle fries were AMAZING - came out piping hot, each fry was perfectly crispy without an ounce of sogginess, and you could appreciate the taste of truffle. I'm afraid I can't remember the names of each of the pizzas we had - one was a pear/gorgonzola with gluten-free crust, one with sausage/pepperoni/roasted peppers/olives, and one with pepperoni/a chile pepper of some sort/honey drizzle. The crusts on these pizzas were so airy yet crispy and had that nice wood-fired taste, with the latter pizza being my favorite (that honey drizzle with the saltiness from the pepperoni was soooo goood) though I really loved them all. My husband and I also love Serious Pie, and when I asked him to choose this pizza or Serious Pie, he said he preferred this one, so there you have it! I love that I can just come back here for the yummy food and look forward to returning!
