    Pepperoni Slice
    John S.

    This is a very small pizza shop that's brand new to State College. They serve 14" slices, cut from 28" pies at a very reasonable price. They call it a Virginia slice and claim it's 3-4 times the size of a regular slice, but really it's 1.5-2 times the size of a Brothers' pizza slice. Of course they offer both dine in and carry out, but they have very limited seating due to the shop size. There is countertop seating, but a lot of people waiting for their order will be using it. The crust is fantastic! It's a mix between NY-style and crispy, thin crust. It's like a NY-style slice with a flaky, slightly crispy bottom. So far I'm loving it. Their cheese is pretty good, which they claim is a custom blend. I do detect a variety of cheese in there, but it's difficult to place. There is a bit more tang than your normal Mozzarella blends. Perhaps some Provolone, brick cheese, and may be a hint of Fontina, Asiago, Parmesan/Romano? It's tough to tell, but it is unique and tasty. Unfortunately, I was really let down that their pepperoni wasn't 'cupping' pepperoni. On their web site they show photos with cupping pepperoni and tout all of their ingredient sources. Honestly, the pepperoni wasn't any better than prepackaged Hormel. But don't let that discourage you, as you absolutely have to try it just for the unique crust. And $5 for cheese and $6 for pepperoni or sausage slices are good deals.

    I never leave one star reviews like this, but I can truly say that this place had the most burnt pizza l've ever tasted. It's actually unbelievable. When I tried to bite into the upper section of the pizza (not just crust) it was rock hard, so crunchy I couldn't even chew it! I shouldn't have been served something like this. It's unfortunate that I was served at all. The pizza wasn't even warm; practically inedible, it was very bad. I have a feeling that this place is good on certain nights, but tonight was not nice.

    Ended up needing a late night food stop when we got in to town - hands down the best pizza we have had in State College! We will be back!

It's very family friendly so expect lots of kids and not a lot of supervision. The food I've had was fine- it's a brewery so I don't expect fine dining. The beer is mid from what I'm told. So are the cocktails. Again, you go for the ability to be social and have a good time.

    This brewery is so spacious with two levels, but the upstairs was closed for a private event. The…read morespace is covered, but very open that it's pretty much outdoors. Due to this, they only had fans to keep cool while circulating the outdoor air. Since we had our pup with us, we were only able to sit in the patio area, but it's not like the "indoor" area was really indoors. Anyways, I wasn't in the mood for drinking, so just had some lunch here. There's two restaurants combined at the food counter (which used to be food trucks here). You can get pizza from pizza and subs from Flo Bros Pizza and wings, burgers and sandwiches from Marin Eats. I had the Crabcake Sandwich ($15) with Tots (+$2). The sandwich was solid and tots were crispy. It's a nice space to hang out with a group. There are pinball machines, cornhole, and games for entertainment. It's nicely situated next to a creek, so you get a bit of nature too.

    I will tried to be fair here. We had a bad experience and honestly can't review the food because…read morethey literally ran out prior to us getting there even most of their appetizers were out. We had arrange for a graduation dinner here at 8:30 pm for 8 people. Shortly before we headed to the restaurant they called to make sure we were still coming we I thought was odd. This is where they could have righted a wrong by telling us they were very low on entrees and give us the option to decide to go somewhere else. 4 of the 6 dinner entrees weren't available, mashed potatoes were out. Most of the appetizers were also out. We ended up getting the last 4 small empanadas, 2 pretzels and 2 salads then decided to leave it was 9:30 pm by this time. We ended up at McDonalds yay. They did tried to work with us but it wasn't going to work for us. The bartender was snooty I won't get into that. The food is pricey and what we ate wasn't spectacular. They may have been off that night but again they could have gave us a heads up when they check in with us a hour before we arrived. Graduations dinner ruined.
