Listen 👏 This is the best pizza in Lexington hands down. I am OBSESSED with pizza and this is one of my all-time faves.
Quality
The artisanal quality and perfect selection of ingredients is apparent in every bite. If you like sourdough, are particular about sauce, and appreciate creative combinations - then you will love Rise Up.
Creativity
I've been eating here for years and have never tried a combo I didn't like. Even when I'm weary, I try it out and am proven wrong. The owner, Matty, is truly a master at combining flavors.
Classics
I also frequently order a classic pepperoni (10/10 for crispy peps!) and margherita (the ovalini is superb). Seriously the flavors at this place can't be beat!
Pricing and Sizing
To address the pricing and size complaints... this is a personal size, artisanal pizza restaurant. The size is perfect for one hungry person. If you're famished, add the garlic knots.
The pricing for me is well worth it. I can't get a sourdough crust, wood fired pizza with exceptional toppings anywhere else, so heck yeah I'll pay the ~$15 gladly. (Includes gratuity and tax)
If you'd rather get a decent pizza elsewhere for less $ that works too but it is not a knock to this place.
Lunch special
They have a lunch special for two topping pizzas for $12 so great option for those wanting to try it out at a lower price.
Overall
I can't get enough. Others can't get enough. There's clearly a cult following. Did I mention the sourdough crust? Join our cult 😇
