We asked if they had any homemade hot sauce in the back, and they brought some out--great heat, great flavor. We got homemade guacamole, which tasted incredibly fresh, like something you'd get in Mexico.

Walked in on a Wednesday evening for the pizza flight special I heard about from a friend. The…read moreplace was busy at around 6pm. Cleared out by 7pm. We ordered the BBQ pulled pork nachos for an appetizer and they were delicious. We ordered two flights so we could try every pizza option. Six varieties. We were curious about the pickle pizza but it was actually in the top three of the six. The pizzas are 5" so great for sharing and having just 1-2 small slices to try of each kind. There is a lot of bready crust. It's really soft and light with a good flavor. If you like thick crust you'll love it. We tend to like thinner crust pizzas but neither my husband or I were turned off by these bc it was a good tasting crust. The toppings were just an adequate amount. I would have liked to have just a bit more on several of the six varieties. The serve them with dipping sauces and you'll use it for most of the pizzas. The thick bready crust is the reason in my opinion. We ended up having leftovers to take home. In order of preference I would say 1) The Farmer 2) The Pickle 3) The hot honey pepperoni 4) The Mac n Cheese 5) The Reuben and 6) Farmer Fresh Caprese. Why? The farmer had good flavor and a good amount of toppings. The pickle was something different and had good flavor and enough sauce on its own. The hot honey took care of your pepperoni pizza lover but could have had a little more pepperoni and hotness. The Mac n cheese was the best topped and had a great creamy cheesiness to it. The Reuben would have gotten higher marks if there had been enough toppings for you to know you were eating a Reuben. Far too sparse for someone that loves Reuben's. I'm not a tomato girl so I didn't even make it to the caprese. It looked fine. My husband tried it. I guess I'll know how it was tomorrow when I try it as a leftover. The waitress did an ok job. They didn't come back for water refills often enough. I ran out once asked for a refill, ran out again before we were done and she never asked if I'd like another. Would have been great if they just walked around with a water pitcher but they did not. They would take it to refill and bring it back. Definitely needed more attention to that. The place smelled wonderful when we were headed in. Could totally smell the BBQ in the air on your way in from the parking lot. All in all the food was good, the place was clean and the staff were friendly. We would come back to try some other items we saw on the menu.

I love to get soft pretzels as an appetizer from places ONLY if they are made in-house. These are, and they are fabulous. Oh my, I would go back just for the pretzels! The pizza flights - you get to choose three 5-inch pizzas out of five options. The ones we chose were very good and they each came with dipping sauces. They have a 2-sided beer tap wall that has craft beers, ciders, and wines, and all are from local places. Our waitress was great - she was so sweet, knowledgeable and very attentive.
