Sticks & Stones

Food was delicious. That house made pesto is amazing. Prices were fair. It's a small place and popular, so parking and getting a seat were tough. The staff was nice and attentive though. Atmosphere is ... Average. Definitely an older bar atmosphere but totally fine. Kid friendly as well. Also, low key secret star is their house made honey mustard. It's got some horseradish kick and I wanted to dip *everything* in it. I'm already looking forward to eating the leftovers!

Amazing food and customer service! Personalized pizza recommendations...four different pizzas on two pies! Very nice wine list. Will definitely return and will recommend!

Everything about this place is 10/10. Food quality and taste is impeccable. Staff is courteous and friendly. There was something wrong with our order and Cam and Cory (I hope I spelled the name right) helped us and got everything sorted out even when it was a busy evening. The ambience is awesome too. I believe it’s the best clay oven pizza you can find in Greensboro or maybe in whole North Carolina.

Visiting from out of town and I WISH we had this place where I live. Delicious food. Eggplant pizza is to die for! Also their homemade marinara is heavenly. Stafford was friendly and service was quick.

My party and I enjoyed the Let it Ride Pizza with Heartbreaker salad. I loved every bit of this pizza from the soft dough and wood fire taste. I was thoroughly pleased. They even had my favorite beer, Black Widow. Great time and amazing atmosphere.

First time taking the family here and it was a great choice. Wings were delicious and cooked how I like. The pizza was great. The crust on the pizza had a nice crisp to it with a nice chew. The cheese on the crust was that cheesy and had an excellent pull to it. The fact they cook it in a pizza oven makes you fall in love with pizza all over again. Beer was strong, cold and had a crisp taste. Service was great. No delay on anything and kept a check on us.

Nice casual dinner spot! I came here the other night, Saturday around 9pm and it was pretty empty, quiet. We were seated at a booth in the back and given food and drink menus right away. Our waiter was friendly and patient as we decided on beverages and what pizza to share. We settled on a glass of bubbles and an IPA and split a small magnolia mountain (Portabella mushrooms, olives, arugula, fresh mozzarella, fresh ricotta, parmesan, fresh herbs, and extra virgin olive oil) pizza. Everything was good, and super reasonably priced. Would return!

Pizza was fair. Crust is thin and soggy. We dined outside, which needs some help. It’s in disrepair and needs attention. The waitress was vey friendly and attentive. Probably won’t return.

Sticks and stones has been a staple of Greensboro for years and years and has definitely been a favorite pizza spot for us for over a decade. If we want an amazingly consistent pizza experience, Sticks & Stones is our go to. This time around we tried a new (to us) pizza, the burger, and the cucimber chili margarita. The pizza was delicious with a combo of collard greens and fried chicken. The burger was surprisingly amazing being that it was cooked to temp and on focaccia bread. I'll order the burger every time now. The margarita was crafted to perfection, I loved it! The service is always amazing and the atmosphere is so relaxed and inviting. We love Sticks & Stones!

I went to Sticks and Stones for a solo lunch because I'd heard good things about it. As a newbie, it took a while for me to get seated because I didn't know to seat myself but once I was the staff was very friendly and attentive. It has the look and feel of a normal neighborhood bar but the food is definitely not bar food. I ordered the Enemy Fire Burger with fries and peach cobbler with homemade ice cream for dessert. Surprisingly the fries are what did it for me. I like the taste of fries but typically eat a few and move on but these were cooked and seasoned so well I almost ate them all and it was no small portion. The burger and ice cream were also good but I didn't care much for the cobbler. It's known for pizza so I'll be making my way back to try it.

A few months back we tried Sticks and Stones for the first time after covid. I left less than awesome review on here. We tried it one more time this past weekend. I'm sorry to say it has not improved. The issue is not the ambiance or staff. They are honestly great. And it's not even the presentation, the food is beautiful. It's the actual quality. We ordered pizza and the only way to describe it is wet and burnt at the same time. Each slice was wet with the most watery tomato sauce. The toppings and cheese slid completely off and the crust was wet but also burnt. It's such a cool vibe, and I want to like sticks and stones so badly. It may be a preference thing, but I don't think it's just me. After years of watching Dave Portnoy on Barstool's "One bite challenge," I've come to the conclusion that people don't know how to do pizza right around here. I just want good pizza

I will say I'm a bit of a pizza snob, so I will say that that the NY pizza was tasty just not what I expected. The details said it was supposed to have nuts, fresh arugula, basil and fresh mozzarella, I didn't see the nuts or arugula and the basil looked cooked. My parents enjoyed his pizza. The soda and sweet tea that we had tasted like soap. At first I thought it was me but my partner said he tasted it too. We asked for refills and it was the same... maybe it was the water or how they made the drinks but the taste never changed.

Overdue for an updated review. Sticks and Stones is probably top 3, if not 2 for pizza in Greensboro for me. I really appreciate the ability to not only create my own, but to have it as a half option to my partner's half of their pizza. Plenty of great, local toppings to choose from - if you don't know what to choose, select one of their original pizzas which are great as well. We love the dry rub wings and beer selection as well. The service is always great and the staff is very kind. Inside seating, bar, booth as well as outdoor seating available. Definite recommendation for pizza.

Sticks & Stones is one of my favorite pizza joints in Greensboro. The food is always delicious and the service is consistently good. There can be a wait sometimes depending on the night, but you can usually find a couple seats to squeeze into at the bar. The restaurant itself is pretty rustic and symbolizes the deep roots that this pinnacle of Greensboro has in town. The beer selection is really extensive, along with other drink options. I always order the Dance All Night salad. The roasted red pepper dressing is to die for! So much so that I'll ask for extra to dip my pizza in, or buy some to take home. I also love the Sweet Carolina pizza. I ordered it with chicken instead of sausage this visit and yum! Amazing! Other friends consistently order the Gold (appetizer) and A Kiss Before You Go and they rave over these menu items. Parking can be a pain! But there is an overflow lot a block or so away. Otherwise such a great location near UNCG campus and within walking distance to other spots. Sticks is a must try in town!

Great neighborhood pizza place! I stopped here for dinner after a flight and was not disappointed. I had a salad, pizza, and a glass of vinho verde wine. You can't get vinho verde everywhere so that was a happy surprise. The salad was perfectly dressed and the portions of both the salad and pizza were just right. The bartender was very friendly and helpful and the service was great. I couldn't decide which pizza I wanted and he suggested I do half and half, which was perfect. I think this may become my first stop off a flight to Greensboro from now on!

Y'all, I'm it's been a minute since I've been in Greensboro and somehow I've never had the pizza at Sticks & Stones. Short story, the food was delicious! The 3 servers who worked the floor tonight all deserve raises. They were in sync, always available and had great timing. The restaurant itself was nice and cozy. A few TVs playing and plenty of space so you don't feel like your on top of the next table. They even have an outside patio area! We had the Cajun dry rub Chicken, the Sweet Caroline pizza, and a Cookie du jour with Icecream.

This was my second time visiting. Went on a Monday evening. Not too busy. Ambiance is good, somewhat dimly lit and comfortable. I ordered the avalanche & my boyfriend ordered the magnolia mountain. We also ordered an app, desire & the cookie and ice cream for dessert. I loved the avalanche, as did he. Unfortunately the magnolia mountain was a miss for both of us. Although everything was fresh tasting, that pizza had almost no flavor (note we ordered w/ no olives). Would not recommend. The desire goat cheese appetizer was fantastic, only preference would be for two more pieces of bread to dip. I also tried the cucumber chili margarita... I would definitely order again, but was hoping for a little more kick. Also quite small for $10. Overall pretty good experience. The only other side note is not once we're we brought plates, silverware or napkins & all other tables were given them, but no biggie. Oh & the dessert was good, but nothing to rave about...

This is the best pizza I've had in the south! Next to John's pizza in New York City this is the absolute best I've had! We will be back! Did not disappoint!

Pizza is definitely my love language. While visiting a friend in Greensboro, I wanted pizza. Thanks (again!) to Yelp, I stumbled across Sticks & Stones. What a cute spot! We had to order at the bar (online ordering was down at the time) & it was nice enough outside that we walked around while waiting the 25 minutes for our pizzas. I also ordered wings. The presentation was nice! The wings & the pizza were fantastic. Wings were fantastic. The pizza crust & toppings were excellent. Parking is troublesome.

Would give 5 stars for the taste of the pizza, without question! Everything else could be improved. Their pizza options are DELICIOUS - with a flavorful crust and super tasty mix of toppings... toppings I would never think to put on a pizza! I love wood-fired pizzas - the char and crisp of the crust with a chewy interior. It's the best way to have a pie! I do think the pizzas are overpriced here, considering the portion size. The restroom was deplorable - disgusting, wet bar towels left on the floor inside a stall, numerous air fresheners - on the plumbing, on the stall doors. I cringed as soon as I walked in, but there was no other option with a toddler that had to go right away. The dining area was also a bit... dingy. I can't think of another way to put it. It just felt like they could pay more attention to the environment. The service was prompt, but terse and not very friendly. If back in the Greensboro area, I'd opt for take-out. I'd recommend they take more care in service & cleanliness.

Service was good. Food was a 4/5 pizza was a little over cooked. And I loved how it looked gave you the shade you want inside looks and feels good and so does the outside no weak spots the food just isn't my favorite.

I'm on a roll forgetting to take photos, but I think it's because we only eat out occasionally so I get so excited when the food arrives that I dive right in!! LOL Sticks & Stones is one of our favorites we return to again and again. This trip we started with the Dance All Night salad to share and then moved on to the amazing Mockingbirdsing pizza. We got a large because they are huge and we wanted pizza for lunch the next day too! Win win! I can never resist their amazing marinara sauce so I ordered a cup of that on the side for dipping my pizza bones, aka crust. Always fabulous and this time was no exception. Great service as well and noise level wasn't bad, as I had read in some other reviews. This was a Wednesday night so it wasn't packed which I'm sure makes a difference. The only critique I have is bathroom cleanliness. The door going into the bathroom looks as if it has never been cleaned and the interior is much the same. A quick fix for someone before opening....hint hint.

We came in on a Monday evening when it wasn't too busy but it got there! The server was great, he was attentive. Asked when everything would be coming out, we just wanted it all together. We ordered the Buffalo wings, an order came with six wings and they were okay as far as Buffalo wings go, nice, hot, crispy, fresh but just okay. You come here really for the pizza and bar. One of my kiddos ordered the chicken tenders and fries, she really enjoyed the rosemary fries. The rest of us split the 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 sweet Carolina pizza. The pizza is fresh and hot but we wished the pizza had a crispier bottom. It was hard to pick up and eat because the pizza bottom wasn't crispy, food your slice in half to solve that problem! The Sweet Carolina was a perfectly balanced meat to veggies pizza. The ricotta can stand to be a little smaller when placing it on the pizza, some of my bites were solely ricotta which is a cheese I love but in small doses! I took down the entire peach and walnut cobbler by myself. This took a little while to come out, I'm guessing because it is wood oven baked just like the pizzas. I loved the crispy edges you get from the dessert being wood baked. I just needed one more scoop of ice cream on there. Give them a go for a unique pizza experience!

Quick stop in between errands- sat immediately and they had the doors open with a nice breeze. Service was friendly. Ordered a salad which I added grilled chicken- never seen so much chicken on a salad- great surprise! Pizza was hot and delish! Would go back for a quick meal especially on a nice day!

I ordered a pizza to-go, so I can't review the dining experience but the pizza - SO MUCH FLAVOR. I was looking for a place that had a gluten-free crust option and came across Sticks & Stones. I ordered the pizza for pickup through their site (via toasttab) and it was still warm and ready to be eaten by the time I got to the restaurant (so like 20 mins). I LOVE that they have the option to order a small pizza with a different specialty option on each half. Major win for people like me (whose husband doesn't eat cheese so I rarely want a whole pie). After tasting, I wish I had ordered a large because it was so delicious! I got 1/2 "Mockingbirdsing" (walnut pesto, wood roasted chicken, fennel, diced tomatoes, spinach, mozzarella, and Gorgonzola) and 1/2 "A Kiss Before I Go" (tomato sauce, fried eggplant, mushrooms, mozzarella, caramelized onions, Parmesan, and fresh basil). Let's get into all these toppings - a gastronomic experience, okay! The ingredient combinations for these specialty pizzas were complementary and provided a very balanced bite. I truly hope they someday decide to jar and sell their walnut pesto. I'd buy a case.

This place rocked! Such a hidden gem that isn't so hidden. Everyone knows how great it is because they are willing to wait in lines for more than an hour to get this pizza. They have great cocktails and beers on tap. Although it's busy, they get you in quickly so don't let the wait scare you. It's worth it.

Hands down the best pizza in town! Great service, Great atmosphere! They have a gluten free pizza crust that is good! Love The dry rubbed wings too! Often grab a drink at the bar whilst we wait for out table.

Been several times since the initial review. Solid 5 stars for food, apps, desserts. It's probably odd I order coors light so those taste a little weird like they're skunked but the food is spot on.

Sticks and Stones can be a little hit and miss if you go at peak hours. The pizza itself is almost always solid but if they are very busy it seems like it can be a little inconsistent. That sentiment goes for the whole place really, especially getting drinks from the bar. I don't want to knock the place too much; we really like the food and drink here, but just be aware that if you go at peak dinner rush you may not get the full experience. With that said, even at it's worst I think it's a 3-4 star place as the food and drinks are always tasty.

It's been awhile since I came in as as always it was too notch . They were busy and able to handle the crowd . A nice neighborhood vibe with really good food. We had wings and large Carolina pizza and added pepperoni . The pizza is superb with organic ingredients of peppers, sausage, ricotta, spinach. The perfect combination for us. They have plenty of options. A true gem in the Walker Avenue corner of restaurants.

Unfortunately, food brain took over, and I didn't get a picture. However; this pizza was FANTASTIC. Fast service and amazing sauce. I went with some family and we all tried something different, but every slice was layered perfectly. Next time I am visiting I will definitely have to make a stop.

I stopped by here after work while visiting the area on business. The people were super friendly that work here The menu was nice. I had a salad, an appetizer and took home a pizza and they were all really good. I highly recommend the pizza though... I

Very cool building! The service was good. the server was very attentive, making sure ice teas were kept full. We ordered the Desire dip, and it was delicious! For the main course, we ordered the Magnolia Mountain pizza. Sadly, someone threw all the topping on the center and left about 2 inches around it just bare burnt crust, it was not good. Highly doubt on going back. If we do not ordering pizza!!

Took a detour off our trip home to check this place out. We are dairy free and saw they had vegan cheese options. Got a small pie with vegan cheese and it was amazing. Got a large pie with no cheese (how we usually order pizza these days) and it was equally amazing due to how good the sauce and toppings (bacon) were. Pickup staff was super friendly and the restaurant has a good atmosphere. Sucks it's 6 hours from home!

This place gives off a hippie vibe for sure. My family split a large pepperoni and sausage pizza. It was delicious from begging to end. The crust is amazing. For dessert I had the peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla Homeland Creamery ice cream. It was to die for. No complaints about the service. Well be back for sure!

Picked up from them after a gap 15-17 yrs - by far still the best crust, best sauce, best finished pizza in the whole of Greensboro. Addictive ... my personal favorites in order Firecracker Magnolia Mountain East Plateau And obviously "To be the One" (Marghetita) Another cool thing, when they first opened I used to ask them to put crushed red pepper on my "Firecracker Pizza" ... on one of my orders was asked why? Told them a cooked/burned dried pepper just tastes better and sines up the entire pizza ....guess what "today their side condiment of dried/crushed red pepper is "toasted" ...that in itself should become a menu item Will add pictures

Let's talk pizza: I got the "a kiss before I go" and lemme tell you it's more like "let's make out" because it's so damn good!!!! I could eat this pizza every night. It has tomato sauce, fried eggplant, (aka little bites of golden heaven), mushrooms, caramelized garlic, Parmesan and fresh basil. The flavor is immaculate. In terms of drinks, I had the white sangria. In my personal opinion, it was very small and not very strong for $6. After that I got the black widow cider with a cold glass for $5. Can't wait to eat more pizza from here!

I live over an hour from sticks and stones, but for the last decade, I have declared it a family "rule" that we MUST factor in a stop and at Sticks and Stones anytime we pass Greensboro in our travels. THE BEST pizza in the Tar-heel state. My favorite pies are "A Kiss Before You Go" and "The Mockingbird". Sweet Carolina is also a solid choice. Fantastic beer list that is filled with great local selections and is constantly rotating.

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA I've ever tasted in my entire life. They specialize in thin crust pizza but don't think for a second that it's thin on flavor or texture. Pizza is soft in the middle but holds its own pretty well, and it's crispy near the edges. This ain't your sad, store-bought, soggy cauli crust. This is more like an "I can't believe it's not gluten" situation. I love the cheesy, doughy parmesan crust; it's like crack to me. This is probably the closest thing you'll taste to the real deal, my GF friends. I don't know how they do it but I kind of want to shamelessly ask for the recipe. I'd drive 30 mins to taste this pie any day. 10 stars

The pizza choices were amazing. Thin, crispy crust layered with a barrage of healthy ingredients. Large pizza $20

Love this place. My favorite lunch special combo is the one slice pizza with Italian sausage and the Dance All Night salad. I once ordered a different salad and was sad about my decision for the rest of lunch. Can't beat the candied walnuts, goat cheese, and special dressing. We go for dinner and weekend lunch too, but most often for lunch because of the proximity to UNCG campus. Ambiance is eclectic and chill. Background music fits the vibe for certain. Service is attentive and not overbearing. The restaurant is very open so they can keep tabs on you without being in your business. They have outdoor seating as well which is amazing. Plus kids love the fish tank inside.

Always love coming into sticks and stones. The environment is great and the service is always awesome. I decided to try a sandwich I haven't had before and I'm glad I did! The pizza is always top notch, but the sandwiches are amazing as well. The chicken was crispy and seasoned well and I love the focaccia. The rosemary garlic fries are my absolute favorite side! Definitely coming back soon

The service is remarkable. The environment is welcoming and relaxing. Wonderful menu options for all.

Great atmosphere but burger and fries were just so so...especially compared to Hop's Burger Bar less than 1/2 mile away. The pizzas are really good however.

Delicious pizza, and food overall. This play stays busy so be prepared to wait a little bit but the food is worth the wait.

Great service and nice atmosphere. Stopped in while visiting Greensboro and was promptly seated. Enjoyed a nice beer and pizza while splitting some appetizers.

Been going here since I was 5 (I'm 18 now) and I've always loved this place! Taking away a star because they removed breakfast and I loved their breakfast. They also moved the farmers market to a different location so in general, it's changing a lot and I don't care for that. One day when Biden won the election me and my friend went there and the waiters were being very vocal about their opinions and saying rude things towards anyone who seemed happy or even sad. I don't care much about this but it doesn't seem like the time or place. They have good pizza and good salad. They have a fish tank and a bar which makes this good for younger kids and adults of all ages.

Sticks and Stones is probably the best pizza in Greensboro. Been here 5 or 6 times and every time - even when its just been okay - its better than everywhere else. Decent beer list, service has always been good. Salads are good and the quality of meat is good too. Big fan of them using Giacomo's sausages. Parking can be difficult at times but whatever. Greensboro needs more places like Sticks and Stones.

This ain't your average pizza place! They have a cool vibe inside with lots of great pies to choose from! One of those thin and crispy crusts that you gobble up to the last bite. So many great items on their menu with fresh toppings! Also check out their awesome specials. This is our go to pizza place!

AMAZING PLACE, FOOD AND SERVICE HANDS DOWN! First time here and I loved it! Was a 30 minute wait but was well worth it and I see why because they were packed with customers! Had the best waiter Cameron he was so cool and down to earth, friendly and helpful! Great experience!

Sticks and Stones has such a cool vibe. It's in the heart of Lindley Park's restaurant row. Parking is easy with a large lot in front of the restaurant. They have great outdoor patio seating and as well as indoor if your prefer air conditioning. The ambiance is casual with table service. Their menu abounds with artisan pies made in clay ovens and craft brews. Vegan and gluten-free options available. I have been wanting to this place for so long and it totally lived up to its reputation. It took me so long to make a decision because one pie look more interesting and tastier than another. I went classic! I had a margarita pie with pepperoni along with a Caesar salad. Be still my heart. Can't wait to go back!!

Me and my family went here to grab a bite. We walked in and were quickly seated. The host accomadated a party of 5 pretty quickly. We ordered pizza and chicken appetizers. They have custom your pizza and various specialty pizzas. I ordered a custom pizza with spinach,mushroom, bacon and gargonzola. This was really great pizza. It was not to crispy, not too many toppings added and a good mix of sauce, cheese and toppings. If I'm in the area I would definitely visit again.

On this Yelp Thank You Thursday I'd like to express my appreciation for Sticks & Stones Clay Oven Pizza in Greensboro near UNCG. This place makes everyone in my family happy from my big eater active 20 year old to my teen girls who prefer quality vegan and vegetarian over most food options. The names are cute and unique for each item on the menu. The dressings are made from scratch, in-house, and the pizzas are hand tossed. I have all of this good information from a kitchen staff employee who went above and beyond to give us good service and answer all of our questions, Sam Mueller. Because of him I decided to try the Peaceful Valley Salad with organic greens, sprouts, tomatoes, carrots, radishes, toasted pumpkin & flax, and a roasted shallot & herb vinaigrette (small $7 large $10). It is now my favorite! Of the pizzas, my favorite are the Magnolia Mountain (local wild mushroom, olives, arugula, fresh mozzarella, fresh ricotta, Parmesan, fresh herbs, evo) and the Sweet Carolina (tomato sauce, Bradd's sweet Italian sausage, roasted pepper, spinach, mozzarella, fresh ricotta, Parmesan). The crusts are amazing! They have sandwiches and starters too. Excellent vegan & vegetarian options. A pizza from @sticksandstonesclayoven is always a treat for us especially when we have that pizza craving. Sam also recommended the Desire Small Plate (baked tomato, caramelized onion & goat cheese dip w/toasted baguettes) uhh I'm ordering that STAT and may not share!

This place has got a lot going for them, if they put in a little more effort it would be a 5 star hang out. The decor is unique and amazing. All their plants are always dying though The fish are happy and a great little edition! My son loves seeing them. The menu is unique, fresh, and amazing in theory- but not always in execution. The pizza we got this time was super burnt- which a little is yummy but it was overkill this time. I got a pizza with eggplant on it, which sounded amazing but I think they just missed something in putting it together- it wasn't quite right. This goes for my husbands pizza and my sons cheese pizza. Great ingredients, but over cooked. Coming from another pizza stone place this same week- this was a let down a bit. The drinks are good, love how they have unique soda options, and the cheese plate was amazing! But they forgot my favorite part- the olives. The service was also slow and not very attentive, despite it being a slow lunch time hour. There was only one table besides us upon arrival. This place is so cool I keep coming back, and I'm hoping one day it's just kicked up a notch. It's not terrible by any means, just wish it was a little more.

Pizza is ok the food is pretty good but nothing to rave about. Service is really good, we were seated and drinks pretty quickly. Staff was very friendly.

I absolutely love the pizza here! Best in all of Greensboro. Perfect crisping of the crust and super fresh toppings

A Greensboro staple that is definitely worth a visit. The service at Sticks and Stones always stands out to me as exceptional. Each time I have gone I see familiar faces and every server has been friendly and attentive. The menu offers several unique, in house options or you can completely customize your pizza. My personal favorite is Sweet Carolina! Their wings and other options I've had are also delicious. They also have a nice selection of beer to choose from which mostly consist of local, craft brews. Their response to COVID is much appreciated with keeping tables socially distant, masks required and extra sanitizing. There is outdoor seating as well with the majority of it covered so guests can enjoy even in the sun or a light rain.

I got the pepperoni pizza and it was great! It's a small restaurant/bar but I loved the ambience. I will definitely come again!
