Pizza Boy Brewing

Al’s of Hampden and Pizza Boy Brewing is the perfect mix of great food and an amazing beer selection. Their pizzas are exceptional, and the menu offers something for everyone. The rotating draft list features tons of their own creative brews and guest beers, with options for every taste. Relaxed and welcoming, it’s a must-visit for food and beer lovers alike! That said, I’d suggest some improvement in customer service. The person who took my order wasn’t very friendly and seemed indifferent, which was surprising since I’ve usually had great experiences here. Thankfully, the staff pouring beers and the food runners were incredibly nice and really added to the positive vibe. A little more consistency in service would make this place even better.

Pizza slices were huge and the pretzel was great. Tons of sauce options for an additional price. Extensive beer menu plus wine and cocktails. Definitely would come back!

Luv the ambiance: a laid back brew pub (huge selection, just tell someone what you prefer in a beer & they'll be able to help you pick one) & baseball on TV! Not scary expensive & everyone is approachable & helpful. The 'Death" hot wings were delicious & the daily special Smash Burger was great. We will definitely stop in again when we are in the area.

Phenomenal list on tap! Food was beyond excellent!!! Atmosphere has fantastic! We had the buffalo wings, cheeseburger pizza, a breadstick and 2 slices of cake. Can't rave enough about Pizza Boy brewery!

Great selection of beers to choose from. I sat at the bar, there were two guys working. The one, extremely friendly, prompt service and pleasant in speaking to. He gave great recommendations on not only food but on beers as well. The other, polar opposite. He was not friendly, looked as though he didn't want to be there. No conversation or recommendations. Had a horrible attitude the whole time, of course he was my server which made the experience a little less than pleasant. On a humor note, this place has the tiny forks to eat with. They remind me of the fork you get when tasting baked goods. It was comical to say the least.

Our waiter Bing be Jonas. He was so kind and was very appreciative towards his customers. He really let it loose all over us. He was very considerate towards us and we really appreciate him. this place is very clean and it just really promotes a happy atmosphere.

THERES A SERVICE FEE BUT THERE’S NO WAIT STAFF. I asked a staff member what this was for, and they said it’s because the prices of food had increased due to inflation. But instead of raising the prices they added a service fee. The owner is clearly trying to trick people into thinking the food is cheaper than it is. Terrible pricing model and a very shady business practice. I wish the staff had said the service fee was extra money for the employees but no, it’s for managements bottom line. Honestly had a lot of problems with this place. The menu doesn’t have pricing on it and the staff couldn’t easily give the prices for food without manually checking each item. The staff agreed that many people apparently dislike this and they were unsure why management hadn’t made a change. THEY CHARGE FOR LETTUCE ON A SANDWICH! This was not explained to me when ordering and again, the menu doesn’t have any prices. After ordering I was told there’s an online menu, but this was only after ordering. This isn’t a problem with staff, it’s a management issue. I like to know what I’m paying for. Second the sandwiches don’t come with a side. This would be fine, but a chicken sandwich was $15. Well technically $13, but it became $15 because I wasn’t informed that lettuce is $0.50. Again, management issue not a staff issue. I expected a foot long sub for that price, but it wasn’t. It felt small sub with more lettuce than chicken. This is Harrisburg, not California. That’s way too expensive for a small sandwich. I expected the bread to be great since they serve so much pizza, but it was average at best. The flavor of the hot sauce on the chicken sandwich was underwhelming too. There were also little things like no napkins on the table, different condiments on every table, and no wait staff. Seems like they had a large collection of beer, so maybe if I was drunk I wouldn’t have realized the food wasn’t any good and that they’re robbing people with their shady pricing model.

Must visit brewery for any beer or pizza lovers. 50+ Pizza Boy small batch beers on tap plus another ~50 beers from other microbreweries. Pizzas are great too!

We stopped in at Pizza Boy this past weekend. I ordered an apricot sour and it was tasty. My spouse ordered their peanut butter fluff beer, which was ok. We each ordered a slice of pizza - white and pesto Sicilian, which were both good. The white pizza was the best one we tasted! The downside is you can't do a flight or taste the beer before committing to it. I'm too picky when it comes to beer, but luckily I enjoyed what I got on the first time! We'll be back sometime soon,

Best beer offerings around! Plenty of seating indoor or outside, and the food hits the spot (try the Regular Wissler Stromboli!) Used to frequent Pizza Boy a bunch when I lived closer, but always excited to go back when I'm in the area. The canning line is located in the restaurant with plenty of plexiglass openings to see what's going on behind the scenes. They predominantly serve their own brews, but have a ton of other brewery taps available.

We visited the area several years ago and stopped in to eat/drink at Pizza Boy. The food and beer were fantastic. Almost 7 years later, we found ourselves traveling home from vacation and were going to be passing by Pizza Boy, so of course we had to stop. Pizza and beer were still just as good! Service was great. Atmosphere was laid back and just a good place to hang out. Highly recommend.

Come here for the guest drafts and stuffed pizza. I stopped by here to check out their famous beer wall and of course the pizza. It has a charm too it that's a few steps above a dive. A 100-beer wall, though I unfortunately think the beer they brew isn't as good as the guest drafts. I tried a few slices and thought the beer was good. Luckily it brought me back from the brink as did a few day old sub rolls (2 for $1!) afterwards. The tomato pie was as one would expect. The cheesesteak stuffed was pretty good, but I thought the Italian stuffed was the winner of three slices i tried.

Food is nothing special unless you get a specialty pizza. Here for the vibes and beer. Great atmosphere and quick service.

My friend and I have been drinking craft beer for years and like the whole spectrum of beer. From Pilsner, wheat, ipa's to sours. The pizza Boy beers that we tried were not good (6). We recommend having a beer that is not made by pizza boy. The Buffalo pizza was over cooked and bland. It was like the pizza was pre cooked and then reheated. Nice atmosphere. You order at the counter, pay and get a number. Then they bring you your food. Employees were nice and friendly. We will have to come back sometime and see if things improve. One star because of the food and beer but would be willing to change it if beer and food improved.

My wife and I ate here for the first time. We were with her stepfather who had already had eaten here before. I had no idea it was a brewing company either until my father-in-law said something to me which I was excited because I am a micro brew kind of person I like to try all different kinds of micro beer. When we walked in the place it was really hoping. We grabbed a menu and ordered right away. We ordered a cheese steak stuffed pizza. As my wife went and found a table my father-in-law and I went and checked out the beer selection which was on a huge electronic board. There was all kinds of micro brews but I ordered the Mad elf beer which is my favorite around the holidays. So we sat down and waiting for our pizza. As soon as we sat down the pizza came. My eyes go really big when I saw the pizza. It was huge and when they say stuffed they say stuffed. I really liked how they stuck garlic bread on the top of it as the lattice work like you see on an apple pie. As I grabbed the stuffed cheese steak pizza I took a bite and it was very delectable. It had everything in it that you would get on a cheese steak. The garlic bread on the pizza made a very tasty and nice representation on the pizza. This pizza place /brewing company was very very good. The employees were very nice also. We would definitely comeback again even tho we live like an hour and 20 minutes away. I would come here again definitely. Oh also picked up some of their own Strawberry Milkshake Beer. Can't wait to try it.

This place was amazing. 85 beers on tap. The servers were excellent. The Smashburger was out of this world. You need to come see this place and eat here and have a few beers. It's absolutely wonderful.

Pizza excellant. Great beer choices PLEASE do something about the noise level in the dining room. Not a pleasant experience with all the background noise and shouting

Great beer; great food; great people. Expansive beer selection and lots of great food options for everyone in the family. A+

We come up here often to visit family. Every time we come it's a must to make a stop here to enjoy the awesome pizza, calzone, tomatoe pies and wings. Not to mention the variety of finger foods they offer. Family and friends love it here never a bad meal. The extensive list of beer on tap are amazing which just makes this place amazing.

Still a definite NO for food. The beer is good. Good assortment. Tasty. But food is only good if you're about 6 beers in. Save your money. Maybe try some beer for fun. But only eat if someone else is buying.

Decided to try this shithole again, and it lived up to the word SHITHOLE. The food still sucks, and the beer tastes like piss. And to make it even worse, the service was terrible and the employees acted entitled, like their shit doesn't stink. NEWSFLASH. You smell like shit. Don't waste your time or money stopping at this shithole. The pizza is so disgusting, no words can describe it.

Went in on a Saturday night. Heard a lot of word of mouth for Pizza Boy. Was at @6pm, but the place was a shambles. Seat yourself w/a couple familys walking around like vultures awaiting the next open table. Looked around and said to the family "no, this isn't gonna work out". I get busy times, but a seat yourself on a Saturday night? At a place that prides on pizza and beer? It's not like you grab a slice and a beer and walk around. Suggest a lunch or weekday time

When I was out to dinner in Philly one evening, the restaurant had a Pizza Boy sour on tap and I decided to give it a try. It was so delicious that I went back again to get that sour and yet I had never heard of this brewery. My cousin is a beer connoisseur and told us about the brewery. I've been wanting to go to the brewery and try that sour again but it's pretty far from my house. On our way back from a trip, we were passing by the Harrisburg area and and decided to see how far the brewery was off the turnpike. It was about an 18 minute drive so we decided to go check it out. Upon pulling up, I was so confused because it said we arrived but the building said "Al's of Hampden." I'm not sure if they changed their name or what the connection is with Al's and Pizza Boy. Anyways we walked inside and I was surprised to see how big the place is. I can imagine it gets really crowded though. As you guessed, you can order pizza here and it's pretty reasonable. However, it didn't really look that appetizing. I can't believe they even serve wine here! Now for the star of the show and that's the beer. I couldn't believe just how many beers they have on tap. Seriously they must have 70 beers and plenty of Pizza Boy beers. I was a bit bummed though that you can't sample any beers and you can't do a flight. This is really risky when ordering because you might not like the beer. I love flights and sampling at breweries. Anyways we ordered one of the Beloved sours that I had from long ago. It's called Ice Dreamz and was just as good as I remembered. I made sure to get a 6 pack before leaving. The bar tender recommended the other Pizza Boy sour (since the rest of the Pizza Boy spurs were only being sold in the larger quantity) which is called Afternoon Delight which is a dry hopped sour. It was so delicious. I just wish they gave you a bigger class. It came in a goblet and was way less beer for the price compared to the other sour. Overall, I love the beer and the bartender was great. I'd definitely come back here and only wish it were closer! Having lived in the land of breweries, aka Minneapolis, I've had plenty of sours. Pizza Boy has some of the best sours I've had! 4 stars since you can't sample or get a flight.

Beer was great, pizza was just ok today but service sucked. Both counters guys to order food and beer were extremely rude. And the place wasn't even that busy on a Friday around 4. I think we'll stick to the MANY other breweries in town where they are polite and friendly.

Cheesesteak stuffed pizza is FIRE. I've only ordered take out and the service is great! Highly recommend.

Great beer selection, munchies, & pizza. Love the place and it's our go to when we are in the area.

This is only a review of a single slice of pepperoni pizza i ordered as a takeout order, sort of. I stopped at Pizza Boy on my way to my hotel traveling from my home in NE Ohio. By the time I arrived I really needed to use the restroom. The men's restroom was very well lit and very clean. When I reached the register to order my pizza there were about 16 different slices to choose from. From Buffalo chicken, to Margarita, to plain cheese. I wish the pizza menu was like the drink menu because standing back in line I could not see what was available and had to wait until I got to the register to see my options. If it was busy, which it wasn't, but if it was, standing at the register trying to decide what I wanted I would have felt pressured to make a decision to keep the line going. They do offer ordering ahead but for folks like me that was not an option. I ordered a single slice of pepperoni pizza. I was very disappointed in the pizza. For one, it only had six slides of pepperoni on it. Seriously! I think they were social distancing. The BBQ or Buffalo pizza had much more ingredients on it! Why skimp out on the pepperoni! Seriously, I felt robbed. The pizza is New York style so the crust was thin and the slice was somewhat large. The cheese was as thick as the crust it sat upon. The crust on the edge had some basil or garlic buttery sauce on it--that was good. The cheese was okay. It's texture was stringy and somewhat firm. The cheese had some brown edging and tasted somewhat creamy. The pepperoni was thin slice and had a spicy flavor. The crust was pliable enough to fold but with an equal amount of cheese it was better to eat it without folding. The crust was also firm enough that I could easily lift the slice with one hand to eat it. The crust was somewhat sweet, evenly cooked, and somewhat bland. The tomato sauce was sweet and probably the best part. If you were desperate for a slice of pizza then this is a place to visit. If you like mediocre pizza that's prob better than the chain pizza places then this is your place.

We visited during a trip to Hershey and the beer and service was great! The food was good as well but the pizza was a little soggy. Overall we couldn't complain and 100 percent recommend.

Favorite place we frequented in all of PA! Kid friendly, world class beer, and some pretty damn good pizza. Only negative is it can be hard to choose from all the beer they have. My 2 yr old son lives this place and talks about it to all his teachers at daycare. Great place.

If your able to hop off of the PA Turnpike and stop here for a breather do it! Been here a few times and it never disappoints. Warehouse style building with a ridiculous drink offering (usually hovers around 100 offerings between wine, local beers and Pizza Boy's own beers -- I counted around 30-32 of their own on tap) To have that many of your own brews on tap is quite a feat! Two different lines to order food and drinks with prompt service. They number each beer which makes it easier than fumbling through the long names of each beer and definitely speeds things up. They sell their own can and bottled brews to go in a decent sized area, so I've managed to snag some fresh rare goodies from here that you just can't get around the Philly area. Food wise the pizza is all I've ever had and it's off the hook. Thick, cheesy, out quickly but well made with quality ingredients. Took a group of friends here and not one complained about the pizza. Sauce, cheese ratio and the crust are all on point. Just sad its so far from home or I'd visit more often. Expand to Philly guys!!

Great online ordering and pick-up options during the shutdown! I've not been a huge fan of PBBC in the past due to the whole beer pour format, but they really stepped up their game with the food and togo 4packs during the shutdown. We ordered several times and each time everything was fresh, hot, and cooked perfect. We also decided to have a make your own pizza at home one night and was able to conveniently order everything from dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings online and packed for pick-up. Prices were very reasonable and cooked up to tasty pies! Check out service was prompt and friendly! PBBC is a great option for take out and grab & go brews!

Always great beer and pizza. This time we had a bartender that was totally anti beer and anti pizza boy. We are huge beer people and when we asked what his favorite was, he said "here? None... if I had to have a craft beer, I would pick (other brewery and beer) " then went on to tell us he was anti capitalism and included political info. There were 3 people at the bar, my husband, another guy, and myself. Just weird. The beer is awesome. The pizza is great. The staff usually is fab. I was very put off by this employee calling a beer I enjoyed drinking "cringe" and asked why we paid for it what we did. The brewer may want to train/address the person who is a direct sales person in the tap area.

We were in the area for the weekend and have been dying to try this place, so we planned a trip to stop here and grab some pizza and beer. The place is one pretty big room, with a shop (with glasses, beer, wine, clothes) in one corner, and an arcade in another of the corners. There's bar seating, table seating, and in the back there's long benches and tables for larger parties. However, all food orders must be placed at the front counter of the food area, and all drink orders must be placed at the corner of the bar- as in, there's no actual table or bar service. Despite that, and despite how crowded they were on this Saturday afternoon, there's almost no line and people get served pretty quickly. Because people get served quickly, filled tables quickly become available, and it's not too hard to find a seat. I was disappointed to find that they don't do flights here, because I wanted to try as many of their beers as I could while I was visiting. They brew A LOT of beer, and they also feature plenty of beers from other breweries as well. Beers are usually available as 5oz, 8oz, draft, 32oz, and 64oz, but some are only available in bottles. If I went again, I'd make my own "flight" of 5oz beers, but I didn't think of that soon enough and I'd been too full from drafts to try as many beers as I'd like. We had to try the pizza too while we were here! Huge food menu, by the way. The pizza was thin, with a good amount of sauce and cheese. It was nothing gourmet, but it feeds the craving. You'll need quarters if you want to get one of the Pizza Boy stickers, and you can ONLY TIP IN CASH. We'd return here again while in the area to try a few more brews.

This used to be a nice place, but it's really gone down hill. The website says open until 10:00 pm, but when I arrived at 9:15, I was informed that they already closed. Despite my significant inconvenience, I received no apology. Instead "Matt" informed me that it was MY mistake for not calling ahead to see if they were open. Obviously they are struggling to hire competent staff or even update their website. Too bad. I can't imaging why I'd ever go back. Certainly not for the bad pizza.

The food is average quality with decent size portions. Great selection of beer on tap with ability to purchase bottles to take home with you. Cool atmosphere with outdoor seating so you can enjoy the warm sunny days.

Solid pizza and huge beer selection! We've placed online orders and done pick up a few times during COVID and have been very pleased with the service - customers are properly distanced, and they have built out a huge outdoor area for the colder months. Our most recent trip consisted of a White Pizza and a Create your own 5-topping pizza. The white pizza was excellent - not super heavy, which is rare for a white pie, but the ricotta and garlic really shined here. The 5-topping pizza was perfectly done as well; I was surprised to see the amount of toppings on this one. Despite having 5 different toppings, they didn't skimp out on any of it which was nice. Ingredients were fresh, and we love ordering it with a thin crust for that extra bit of crisp.

Everything was on point, delicious. Pizza crust was great. Staff was friendly / helpful... Mint chocolate stout... So weird as a beer but it really did taste just like it. Would go back and bring more friends to hang out in a heartbeat.

Great beer selection and atmosphere. Pizza was a bit pricey and the 1 star is for customer service, particularly old grumpy man who is at the counter(unfortunately we had him at food and second round of beer order). All other folks were great and friendly. The old man with a was restless, so pushy to order, doesn't give a second to look at the menu. He refused to take the order without a card. If you are having a bad/long day old man, your customers might have also gone through a bad/long day and want to chill at your place. You don't have to show attitude towards your customer.

Imagine a place with phenomenal pizza and 100 craft beers on tap. Out in the middle of no where in Enola, Pa that place exists. Pizza Boy This will be the shortest review Ive ever written because I've already covered all the bases.

Very good BBQ chicken pizza! Servers are very kind. Pretty kid friendly and not too loud. You can also get a seat in the semi-outdoor area that has multiple tvs for watching sports!

Oh, what a great find! This brewery is right outside of Harrisburg. They feature 102 beer; 99 on taps and 3 on casks. The bartender is very knowledgable. You can tell him why kind of beer you like, and he can recommend you some good ones. We stopped by on our way back to NYC on Sunday afternoon. They had pizza and wings special, so we took advantage of that. The bill came out less than $40 for food and beer! I wish they could open something like this in NYC. You can also make your 6-pack of beer to go for $14. Their saison was great. Glad that we make a right decision to stop by.

The pizza needs salt and tasted like tap water. That was the only flavor that overpowered both the white pizza and pepperoni pizza. The guy that took our order, Ross, had such a nasty attitude and as soon as we ordered we wanted to leave. Haven't been here in years because of the unfriendly staff and not so great pizza. Decided to give it another chance for redemption and it looks like I'll never open that door to step back in ever again.

I had been hearing about Pizza Boy for many years as it started up just around the time I moved out of Hershey and hadn't had a chance to visit until this past summer when I was passing through. We stopped for lunch and the pizza was very good; the slices were cooked well and had great flavor. The beer selection is amazing and it's overwhelming how many taps they have. We enjoyed our drinks (a stout, an ipa, and a cider) and we grabbed a bunch of beers to go, which ended up being really good. I love that they have singles to purchase and that's great for someone who loves trying everything. I will definitely be back here the next time I'm in the area!

Pizza Boy, such an unassuming name, tucked in an unassuming complex, in an unassuming town (who's ever heard of Enola, Pa?!?) But wow! What a world class range of beer with a world class display board! Beer - 6 stars! 99 taps on the display board including about 30 of their own (!!) beers. Rest of them range from local breweries (Free Will, Lancaster, Sly Fox, Spring house, Troegs, etc.) and other classics craft beers. Where else do you find a list of 99 solid, freshly tapped beer on tap? 1 EXTRA point for the brilliant electronic board. It looks like the board at a train station or airport, keeps you well informed and you're confident it's accurate. Pizza - 4.5 stars. like their beer, they give you endless choices with guidance. Specialty pizzas come with specific toppings, or you can "create own" with 5 topping. There's also hand tossed and stuffed, all come with difference sizes. You can also get slices and they're nice sized. We got the Special specialty pizza. Meats and cheese are fresh, sauce is a little sweet, perfectly proportioned. Not the best pizza I've ever had but damn close. Lastly, a big THANK YOU to my Yelp friends -- because how much they raved about Pizza Boy, I drove 3 hours on my first day off this year. And I must say, it was totally worth it!

Perfect place for Saturday day drinking! I'm so glad I finally got to check this place off the list of breweries I need to go to in the area. Pizza Boy is a neat brewery with a huge selection of beers on tap. I liked that they served their beer but also other local beer. Personally, I really enjoyed Pizza Boy's beer. I'm a fan of Pale Ale's and I thought 'While Supplies Last' and 'Magic...Under Where?' were both really good! They also have really delicious pizza which paired well with our beers. I thought everything was reasonably priced and the bartenders were great with giving recommendations. One thing we noticed is that you can't tip on your credit card, so I would bring cash!

If you like beer and pizza, this is your heaven! A huge tap list, so many you have to order by number. Their food menu is also pretty extensive and their pizza is awesome. All of their beer is local, mostly Pennsylvania brewed along with their own which probably takes up about 20 taps or so. A lot of good ones to choose from! I've been here 4 times now and have a great experience each time. It can be very full at times but the lines go quick and there is a lot of seating. Don't let the parking lot scare you!

Beer selection here is AWESOME. there's so much to chose from it can be a tad overwhelming but on my last visit I had 2 really good ones. I don't recommend the pizza. It's average at best.

Beer gets a 4, food gets a 2.5, fast service 3. Overall 3 star rating! Let's see, good beer choices and the pizza reminded me of frozen boxed pizza. If you drink enough beer I guess it doesn't really matter, lol

While the sours are good, they are not worth your life. They are careless with COVID as per their own social media. I support business that supports community health. Businesses that are capable of thinking outside the box rather than promoting the spread of a very deadly virus. A lot of great breweries doing great things with their product and for the overall health of the community. Pizza Boy is not that brewery!

Love this place! I get up to PA about once a year and I make it a point to drop in and have a couple of beers and a couple of slices of pizza. Excellent beer selection! Several of the Pizza Boy beers on tap and in cans, also have a large selection of other breweries on tap. Today they had beers from Levante Brewing, Tired Hands Brewing and Three Floyd's brewing just to name a few. I've always received excellent service here and will come back every time I'm in PA.

I had a rare, full day off and wanted to visit a brewery. I took my query to Facebook, "Where should I go?" And among the many great ideas, someone mentioned Pizza Boy in Harrisburg. It sounded like some kind of gimmick. A pizza place that brewed some beer? But I trusted the person who suggested it implicitly and like I said, I had the whole day, so I made the trek. It took about 2hrs up the Pa Turnpike. While it was easy with the GPS, when I arrived on scene, things were a little cloudy. Pizza Boy is located within a business area in a pizza place called Als. I don't recall seeing Pizza Boy written on any sign on the facade but I assumed I was in the right place. I was. There's nothing fancy about the interior. A huge beer keg area on one side and a pizza oven on the other. It has numerous tables and a long bar. It's not a sit down , get waited on type place. You order your food and/or beer and they'll bring it to your table. I'll mention the food briefly because it's not the draw of the place. Merely the sustenance needed to continue drinking more beer. In lieu of a menu, they just give you their takeout menu. One that might be sent to your house. It's standard pizza place fare; pizza, hoagies (although this is Sub country...where is the Sub/Hoagie line drawn?), salads, etc. I had a slice of cheese and I found it above average. I thought of giving the place 4 stars because the food is just alright, but then I realized, it's a 5 star beer place that offers pizza. The beer. It's a bit overwhelming to sit at the bar, look at the endless row of taps, and see the changing beer screen of at least 80 options , 40 of them brewed on site! That wasn't a typo. They are brewing about 40 beers on premises , from sours to IPAs, hard sodas to stouts. As well as a great selection of local beers and some stellar beers from out of state. No matter what you have the taste for, Pizza Boy can provide. I tried a cream ale, for old times sake and their Coffee Stout "Sunny Side Up" which was out of this world. In fact, I'm sipping from a growler of it as I write this review. The bartender, I believe his name was Josh, was really knowledgable about beers and asks the right questions to get you the right beer, which is good considering they don't do samples (probably because greedy people took advantage.) In fact, I perused their electronic beer board and mentally decided to try the Sunny as my second beer. After a few questions, I was impressed that Josh suggested I try the Sunny as my second beer. They know their shit. Overall, while its far away and there are many other breweries to try out, I'd go back to Pizza Boy in a heartbeat. I'll also be looking for their wares to hit local taprooms in the Philly area. I got a tip to check out Uptown Beer Garden this summer. This place definitely surpasses it's seemingly gimmicky name.

Great place to celebrate national pizza day! The beer and subs are awesome as well !

I really enjoy this brewery. They have a lot of sour beers, which I really appreciate. They also have an extensive beer menu in general with some wine options for those who aren't big fans of beer. And naturally given the name, did you serve pizza. The pizza was really delicious. The crossings homemade, all the toppings were fresh, was a really great place to chill and hang out. They also sell to go bottles, growlers, and crowlers. So you can take your beer to go which is a huge plus. Atmosphere is really laid-back nothing fancy, and everything is my self serve. You go up to order your beers in your food, but they do have people run it out to you. I'm personally a big fan of this place.

Drinks- smelled like an ipa when you walk into the place. With so many taps, I had no idea where to start. The bartender asked what I liked to drink. I said ipas and he let me try his recommendation. It is now my favorite ipa! Food- the food came out extremely fast! We had our 3 kids who were tired and hungry, so we were so pleased that they didn't have to wait long. We got 2 pizzas and they both tasted incredible! If we lived closer, we would be at this place on a regular basis!

Cool place. Huge warehouse type scene with tables and bar chairs scattered about the "dining room". Not sure how the Pizza Boy/Al's of Hamden name thing works. Seems weird to me. Pick one or the other, already! There is a bar area off to the side and some sit-down-at-a-table type seating. Huge brewing operation clearly visible through the glass and it's well marked with every pipe, valve etc labeled. The brewing process is described in basic detail as well. It's a nice touch for the information driven beer nerd who actually wants to understand the brewing alchemy. The tap selection is amazing, bordering on unfathomable. Broad selection from porters to sours to stouts to saisons to various types of IPA's. Nice large electronic screens with the beers listed along with description, style, ABV etc. Good stuff! Pizza not bad at all. Haven't had any other food. The only thing lacking is some booths to sit at in lieu of the tables with the poor back support chairs. It's worth the stop, and there's a hotel right across the street if you have a long drive, and you tossed a few too many back. Just sayin'........

We are so glad we decided to drop by this place on our way home. Yelp has not stirred us wrong so far on this trip. This place has a hipster kind of ambience and it was very casual. You go in, order your food and find your own seating (they have outdoor seating too). They will give you a number to put on a table and they will bring out your food. Definitely grab a menu when you first come in because it has coupons in it you can use on the spot. The lady even gave us back our coupon to use again for another day. Again, I must say, I hate that I am not an avid beer drinker because I probably would have been in beer heaven in this place. They have several flavors and types of beer here. Their pizzas were very cheesy, not soggy at all. They didn't skimp on the toppings, even though we ordered a one topping pizza, we got a lot of that one topping on our pizza. My mom got their grilled chicken salad and she said it tasted fresh. We also tried their fries and mozzarella sticks-they weren't bad at all. Just a tip, if you want to get cheese fries but do not want your fries smothered in cheese sauce, just buy plain fries and get some melted cheese by the soda fountain, its free for all. I ordered the meatball grinder and was not disappointed. The bread was warm and crunchy on the outside and again, they didn't skimp on the cheese. I definitely recommend this place. We will definitely come back to this place.

It goes without saying that the beer is amazing. The tomato pie we had the other day was one of the best pieces of pizza I've ever had. We had wings with traditional sauce which were very good and also honey mustard. A honey mustard were just OK. I like having an option of doing half pours of beer. That way you can try more styles. This is a beer Mecca heading in Pennsylvania.
