This was hands-down some of the best pizza we have had! Saying the owner, Jesse, went above and beyond to make sure all went smoothly is an understatement. He and his staff (special shout-out to Rachel) were friendly and courteous. I am very much looking forward to being in the area again and dining in next time. Sounds like I will need to try the buffalo dip...along with one of the desserts!

Service was good, very friendly and kind servers…read more Garlic knots were reheated and not warmed all the way through, tepid inside and needed more color on the dough. Salads were good, the jalapeno ranch is tasty. Pizza was floppy and undercooked. "Roasted" onions on the pizza were only partially cooked and still tasted raw - not what we expected. Sausage and pepperoni were tasty but the pepperoni cups needed more time in the oven. The edges of the dough were cooked through but barely. Disappointed, coal fired pizza should be crispy with a touch of char. This pizza was already sliced and needed another 3-5 minutes in a hot oven.

We got there around 5:00 PM while things were just getting busy. It had a nice vibe to it. You could tell people enjoy coming here. I started off the order with an item off their monthly menu specials. The muffuletta pizza. Very nice with a great flavor. My wife loved every bite of her braised beef sliders and cole slaw. We also have this obsession with ordering Brussels sprouts when we go out and they're available. I will give the sprouts 3 out of 5 because they had way too much balsamic vinegar on them. This rating doesn't bring my overall rating down because it's likely they are very good any other time. As if all that weren't enough to eat, we ordered the 8" Cinnamon Streusel pizza with vanilla bean ice cream off their seasonal monthly menu. Oh boy was that good!! If given the opportunity to come back to South Bend, this will be my go to place. PS... I'm not a beer drinker, but it seems they have lots of craft beer on tap. It's considered a gastropub. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. Some outside seating is covered and nice of it raining but still warm out. There is a patio area that's quite large. It looks like and has a feel of a biergarten.

It was just as good as the last time I was here. On Saturday, I ordered takeout for us since I was staying in the downtown area. I ordered the Power Salad (full order to share), and it was a nice mixture of arugula, spinach, quinoa, dried blueberries, toasted almonds, goat cheese, grape tomatoes and red onion, with green goddess dressing on the side. It was a plentiful salad and very tasty. I would definitely order this salad again! For dinner, I had the Rigatoni Chicken Pasta, which was advertised as their house specialty. The rigatoni noodles were accompanied with seasoned chicken and a nicely spiced mushroom cream sauce, which was divine. I wish there was more chicken (at least in my dish) as it was minimal at best. My friend ordered the Tropic Burger, medium well, with beer battered fries. The burger was topped with pulled pork and bacon with a tasty jalapeno sauce she just loved. The burger was so big she even had half of it for the next day. Overall, another great experience at The Lauber. Looking forward to my next visit when I get to South Bend.

It had the dark rustic wood interior, and beautiful heavy wooden booths and tables. I've never been to Germany, but it kind of reminds me of the traditional German bars I see in history books and online! Service: Like all Barnaby's, this place is counter order only. Once you place your order and the pizza is ready, they will bring it to your table. If you're customizing your pizza, expect about a 25-35 minute wait. Food: The tavern style pizza wasn't as good as I remembered...but it was still pretty delicious! I loved that we can customize and add our own toppings on the pizza.

The crust is almost like a cracker, nice and thin and crispy. It was very cheesy which I also enjoyed. Circular pizza pie with square cut slices. The only thing I didn't love was their pizza sauce.
