First, lets start that they have only been open 10 days, so they are going through some growing pains. They have been packed most nights since they opened so we decided to go on a Monday to hopefully avoid some of the crowd. We got there and didn't realize it is a completely open air concept... so we froze the entire night. (They had a few propane heaters, but the one closest to our table was not on the almost the entire meal. I did ask for it to be turned on, but apparently they were out of propane. It was lit finally as we were finishing up.). Spotify was being played loudly throughout the venue - so we listened to lots of commercials. Though they had big TVs, both were just on menus screens.
We sat down and tried to figure out how to order... eventually, after sitting for a while and not getting any kind of greeting, I got up and walked to the bar and they said everything comes through the bar and the menu was written on a board. I had to go back to my party, figure out the order, then go back to the bar and wait forever for someone to notice me to put in the order. There were no prices posted, which was a bit concerning.
I put in an order for three pizzas, one beer, and a few sodas. The bartender insist I open a tab, even when I had no desire to go back to the bar. After we had been sitting for about 10 minutes, someone came to the table asking about our order, stating it had not been put in properly and then it was going to be a little bit longer of a wait. It was no problem, we were with family, and other than being cold, we could entertain ourselves for an extra few minutes.
The first two pizzas came out, and both were not what we ordered. The third pizza was "missed" and would "be out soon." We were ok with that - but I did ask that they remove the toppings from our ticket that we paid for but were missing. We ate the two pizzas that came out - both were ok, but nothing exceptional. Though "brick oven" pizzas, both were so burnt on parts of it that we couldn't eat it. My teenage son had a full plate of burned crust that he threw away.
The manager came over and apologized and said he would take one of the pizzas off of our ticket for the long wait and incorrect orders. We told him that was not a necessary and that we just didn't want to be charged for the toppings that weren't included. Later, our third pizza came out, and the manager had made the kitchen make one of our pizzas again with all the toppings.
When we finished, I went back to the bar to close the tab and get a box. Again, it took a while for the bartender to acknowledge me. Nothing had been taken off the tab as promised - but that was ok because one of the pizzas were remade.
The 12" pizzas were between $17 -$21 each. The beer was $8.
Though the food was ok, it wasn't amazing, and for a slow night, it took a really long time. I like to support local businesses, but I am not sure when I will go back. Really not an easy place to have a meal with the family.
