We popped in at Sidewall tonight for the first time and overall we really enjoyed it! This pizza has the feel of a fast casual pizza place with the number of unusual toppings it offers and more upscale pizza feel, but it is, in fact, a sit down and be served or take out pizza joint. My favorite toppings were the roasted Brussel sprouts and butternut squash. YUM!
The service was great and the staff was very friendly. They have seating indoors and outside, as well as at the bar. The tables are set up almost cafeteria style, so we were seated at a table with another family sitting at the other end.
I ordered a starter salad - pear, cranberries, toasted nuts, and blue cheese over a bed of spinach with fig vinaigrette dressing - absolutely delicious. I'd give the salad alone 5 stars. The half size is about a normal size salad. The large is MASSIVE - I love salads, and it's more than I would attempt to eat on my own.
The pizzas range in prize from $13 to almost $20, and if you choose a "create your own" pizza, each veggie or extra cheese topping is $1 and meat toppings are $2 on top of the $13 base charge. The pizzas are 14 inches, which I think is a bit of a strange choice. It's too big to eat alone (for me anyway), but not quite enough to split with someone. My daughters (ages 5-10) ate 4 pieces each (1/2 pizza), so I'd assume a full size person would put down a bit more.
They do offer a gluten free crust that is made in house - it is the same price, just a 12 inch instead of a 14 inch. I really wanted to love it, but it was just okay - a little bit hard to chew. The toppings and variety of cheese I put on the pizza made it still very enjoyable, and I'm not saying I wouldn't order it again. But as far as gluten free crusts go, I've just had much better.
If you are in TR and looking for a more specialized type pizza shop, be sure to stop in - it won't be cheap, but I think you will enjoy it!
*Be sure to sign up online at their website and they will send you a free full size pizza on your birthday! I haven't cashed in on that yet, but I plan to do so ;-)
