Honey I'm Home
Sarah H.

We walked from our Airbnb to Embers and we really enjoyed it. The vibe was unbeatable - outside seating with a big grass are where kids were running around. They had a great selection of wine/beer/drinks as well. The summer salad needed more dressing and then large was way too big for 2 people. I'd say for maybe 3-4 it's better. The pizzas were both cooked perfect and had great flavor. We got a gluten free crust for the truffle pizza and it was great for my gluten free friend - good flavor not just like cardboard.

As always phenomenal pizza, fabulous service and a great setting. Even when it's super busy the staff is friendly and constantly checking to make sure everything is good. Our daughter loves playing with pizza dough while we wait for our meal, it's a great way to entertain the little ones. This will always be a favorite, can't get tired of this place!

Overflow parking lot. This place is always packed! Opens at 4, so get here 15 min early.

Warm, spacious, delicious! This was our 4th visit to Embers and we weren't disappointed. We capitalized on the dinner deal: $30 medium pizza, garlic knots and a large salad for two. I had a whiskey mule and the total bill was $41. Staff was prompt, friendly and made us feel appreciated. There were blankets in all the patio chairs, with standing gas heaters as well as electric heaters placed 20 feet apart. It was warm enough on the enclosed patio that I didn't need any jacket. Thank you for a great Date Night! Also great place for large groups 20+.

Back after 2 years...while the first visit was phenomenal this time even better. Got there at opening 4pm to beat the crowd. The setting is a quaint old house converted into a great venue complete with outside seating across from a serene lake. Inside are two wood fired pizza ovens, one for regular pizzas and another for gluten free. A nice bar surrounds the ovens with an assortment of beers on tap or opt for wine or some mixed drinks. We opted to sit inside and our server greeted us with a smile and great attitude. We ordered a blood orange Hefeweizen and examined the menu. My last visit I had the Pend Oreille Pie, a thick crust pie extraordinaire. (I ordered one to go) This time we split the Papa's Special- marinara-sausage-pepperoni-salami & smoked bacon on a thin wood fired crust that had great char, crisp & chew. There were plenty of toppings! After eating great pizza in many parts of the country I have to rate this one as the best!!! Atmosphere Pizza Friendliness overall

Excellent pizza by the lake! Called in the order, drove out, it was ready to go! They made the wrong pizza - and the made the right pizza and gave me both with hardly any wait! It was a total bonus. The sweet and smoky bbq chicken pizza was our bonus pizza and it was delicious!

This place is an experience for the whole family!! The drive in to the location is beautiful and you feel like you are at a members only, hidden gem type soot. The whole place is like a parents playground. The kids can play, while you warm up next to the gas fires with an IPA or whatever. Pizza is delicious, lots of special options and the kids can make their own breadsticks for free. Great service, very attentive and helpful. A bit of a wait but that is expected with a spot like this!! Come ready to eat and have a blast!!! Nice art on the walls too!

Beautiful view.

We had the pleasure of meeting friends here for a wonderful dinner. We were visiting and was so impressed with the vibe and view! Super nice employees who are friendly and welcoming. We had both the ceaser and summer salads. Very good. Then we split four pizzas. I can't recall the names, but it didn't matter. They were all very good. Highly recommend.

All the stars you they have earned have nothing to do with the food but all About the decor and scenery. The food is way over priced and left you unsatisfied. We toyed with the idea of stopping by Taco Bell on the way home. The ideas they have on the food are fantastic. Just poorly executed. It looked absolutely beautiful. Just lacking flavor and dry. The service is was also Fantastic. Incredibly nice staff. The restaurant itself didn't have air conditioning, and with the pizza oven going full force, being mid summer we chose to sit outside. But the inside was super cool. Really neat vibe. Just hot. Outside was nice, with a Great view! Corn hole to keep you busy while you wait to be called to your table was a nice touch especially waiting with to be seating trying to entertain 5 kids. Ambiance and location and service. - 5 + Food - 2

Half of two amazing different pizzas I don't remember, but darn they were yummy!

I'm going to give Pi-daho five stars…read more Under normal circumstances I think this would probably be a four-star review. But there are a couple of things that lead me to be charitable. First, and most important. The pizza here is really good. We ordered two different pizzas, the Boise and the orofino, and both were absolutely delicious. They were cooked well, the toppings all worked well together, absolutely no complaints. Something else that you need to know is that this is just a food truck outside the Post Falls brewing company. So you can buy your pizza and then go and sit in the brewing company, or you can take it home. Now why would this normally be a four star review? Well, first, it is a little pricey. I understand they're making custom pizzas for order. But at the end of the day, it is just pizza. And don't get me wrong I love pizza, but Pizza is not an incredibly expensive food to make. The second thing is there's limited parking in the lot for the brewing company and so you have to park on the street and it can be difficult to find parking on the street depending on how busy it is. The last thing, and it might just be an off day, but the lady that helped us was not the friendliest person I've ever dealt with. Also, I understand it's a small business, but with the pizzas as expensive as they are I shouldn't have to pay an extra 50 cents for a to-go box. So why is this a five star review and not a four star review? Well, because it's a small business and I want to support small businesses. But also, I think this is a really clever idea and I really appreciate what they're doing here in terms of celebrating Idaho specifically but also different kinds of options for pizza. So I would definitely check this place out absolutely well worth it.

The bowling alley itself is rather noisy, but the restaurant has a door that blocks out most of the noise. The nice young lady behind the bar attended to me promptly, and I ordered a small 8" pizza (The Big Four) and just for giggles, a small order of mini-corndogs. Since I was on two wheels, I just had water. The corn dogs came out first, and they were better than I expected. Hot, fresh, corndoggy-ish goodness with mustard to dip them in. The pizza came out while I was chowing down on the corn-dogs, but it was still hot when I finished the dogs and moved on to the main dish. The crust was a mix of thin and hand-tossed, not overtaking the pizza but thick enough to hold the toppings. The sauce was good, the toppings were excellent, and between the two orders I spent less than $20. This place is a hidden gem if you're looking for fast good food without breaking the bank.

It also had a really cool atmosphere in the brewing company everybody seemed to really be enjoying themselves, they had a musician playing in the corner of the sitting area, overall just a really great vibe.
