Atmosphere: Really relaxed vibe. Nice indoor and outdoor seating areas. There is a water refill station by the patio doors. They have an ordering station to place your orders for food/beer. They have a ton of board games to play while you drink or wait for your food. Great place to meet up to wind down. I've been here twice, once for drinks and once for food. Great experiences both times. Service: Friendly and informative. They have a slim team but are incredibly efficient. Food: They pizza is incredible, the crust is untouchable. I ordered the Dirty Martini pizza (they don't have it anymore *cries in salty olive tears*). This pizza is one of a kind. If anyone else had this available in the Fox Valley I would go there every week to get my fix. It's salty, savory, creamy, crunchy and CRAVE-ABLE. We ordered one other pizza on the menu that is a standard offering, The 99 Corvette. This was okay but we both fought over who got more pieces of the Dirty Martini Pizza. I can't wait to come back here for more fun. read more

Hop Yard Ale Works - Dirty Martini Pizza - I would order this every time except it's seasonal - Pizza Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Hop Yard has a relaxed, casual atmosphere and seems consciously geared toward the hipster/affluent working professional crowd. Their staff are friendly and seem to enjoy themselves. They do not have physical menus or servers to take people's orders; customers scan a QR code to get the online menu and order at the bar area. I can't speak to the craft beer and wine aspect to the restaurant, but they do offer some delicious craft sodas for people looking for nonalcoholic options. Although they have "normal" woodfire pizza choices (traditional pepperoni, cheese, etc.), the highlight is their rotating menu of inventive specialty savory and dessert pizzas. I found their "normal" pizza to be just ok, but the tomato soup pizza (Souper Slice) was incredibly flavorful and unique! It's definitely worth taking the leap of faith for some of their more out-there sounding pizza options. Since they have limited oven space to cook the pizzas, food can take a while to come out if it's busy. Plan ahead and use that time to relax and enjoy their drinks, or come during an off-peak time for less wait. read more

We tried this place recently for dinner and had a great experience. They have a wide selection of beer. I have never had a New Zealand IPA before, but the one I tried here (Hop-Tickle illusion) was great. The OG, Porkasaurus and The Danny Dorito pizzas were all tasty. 6 slices each, so 3 pizzas and the Italian dunkers were enough for our party of 7. We will be back to try more beer and pizza options. read more

Melissa and Dave were very accommodating to our many questions. Service was outstanding. Pizzas came out quick and were delicious.

What a great place! I love the vibe and the beer. Came with my family over Thanksgiving weekend and it was great. They don't have table service, which is fine, but just be aware you have to go up to the order area (it's well marked). They have lots of different seating arrangements: booths, high-top tables, large shared tables, etc. I also love that they have board games available to grab, and it also seemed like people brought their own as well. We did not try food, so I can't comment on that, although the pizza smelled delicious! I tried two of their sours, and I liked one of them better than the other. Note that if you get a flight (four tasting sizes) you get a slight discount. It can get a little loud in there because of the slight industrial vibe they have going on. We stopped by one night and it was pretty packed, which made it pretty loud. We left but came back a few days later and it was much better. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Appleton! read more

Really great pizza, great beer, great logo...just a fantastic place for a date, they had cribbage for us to play while we were waiting for our food. The staff is also very kind. read more

Delicious oven pizza and a wonderful selection of beers!!! Love the variety of pizzas ( Corvette is a favorite) Make sure to put your order in for food an hour + before closing. read more

Amazing pizza! Ordered three diff kinds and each one was delicious and didn't feel as heavy and greasy as most pizzas do.

Really enjoyed our first time visit to Hop Yard. We sat at the bar and Claire was beer tending. She had worked at a brewery in Naples that we had also visited. Great personality and wonderful service.They had a good beer selection. The pizza was delicious. Many original choices for toppings. All the employees work well together. We plan to go back. read more

Hop Yard Ale Works - Like their logo - Pizza Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Fantastic place with delicious beer and pizzas! Lots of places to sit and some cozy spots for groups, too! Lots of TVs to watch sports, too. For a big place, it's pretty quiet. They don't have servers, so you order at the bar and they bring your food to the table. Quick and friendly service! Lots of beer options to choose from. They also have an outdoor seating area which would be fun to experience when the weather is better. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

My wife and I stopped in on the night before Thanksgiving. We travel often and on almost every trip we try to stop at a few local breweries. We ordered two flights, two pizzas and some of the pub mix. The food was a mixed bag. The pub mix was very good and the pepperoni and sausage pizza was decent. The pizza with pepperoni, ricotta and hot honey was overcooked and the hot honey overwhelmed the other flavors and it was not good. As for the beer, it's middle of the road. The pilsner was solid and a couple of IPAs were ok. I wouldn't seek any of them out at a store or other bar. As for the atmosphere and the building itself, it was pretty busy and extremely loud inside. Our visit was actually pretty decent until someone brought a dog into the taproom. The dog owner sat at the bar and appeared to know some of the staff as well, with some of them petting the dog and then going back to work. Eventually they let the dog run around unleashed, and it ran to almost every table, which is a big problem for anyone with pet allergies, or someone who doesn't want to try to eat with a dog bothering them. When it was evident that there was someone with allergies that the dog approached, the dog owner and staff they were conversing with, brushed it off as no big deal, which was unbelievably inconsiderate. read more

The rotating pizza menu always has interesting options. Tonight's favorite was the Lemon Drop dessert pizza followed closely by Chicken Pot Pie and Eattin' Toads. The Old Reliable never disappoints. The wide selection of brews had something to satisfy everyone. It's a bonus that they support local small businesses. See you soon! read more

Last night I went out with a couple of coworkers and this was such a unique location, an old auto shop. It was busy and after having their pizza, I can see why. We found a spot at a larger table that had two other couples. Love how laid back the seating was and the convenience to order at the bar. The menu was small but great options and whoever thought of giving only the choice of 10" inch pizzas is a genius. Satisfying enough for one person, but the perfect size to order multiple to share without committing to one flavor. I wasn't a huge a huge fan of the Limeade Seltzer, but the food and atmosphere easily made up for the experience! read more

I went on a place fon a recommendation of beer & pizza . The beer selection is excellent, tried a couple of theirs and was not disappointed in the least, the pizza is an excellent blend of thin crust and quality toppings . Crowded but excellent service to get everyone fed and happy. Sense of humor with my bartenders , good people and knowledgeable of their beer. I wish this place nothing but success! The vibe is of a classy beer joint but also a great place for friends , a date or even your parents ( if they're not uptight crabs) read more

Pizza was awesome and the games kept the kids entertained while we waited. Service is great but not "traditional" restaurant. You order at the bar & find seats. My advice is to get there early before the rush and plan on having a few beers, playing a few games before you eat. read more

What I liked: - Ambiance was good - very chill and casual - Beer selection - Staff were very friendly What I disliked: - Having to stand in line to order, even for beer refills - Pizza tasted good, but seriously lacked in toppings - Pizza prices are high for what you get - No ice available (a glass of water, but no ice) read more

Great pizza and good beer. Can be a little crowded, but worth the wait. Most beers are very tasty, though there are some misses with the amount of new beers on draft. Pizzas I have tried here are spot on! read more

Excellent food/ beer/ atmosphere Love to take our pups here when weather permits and sit outside!! Great service too! read more

This is currently my go to place when my sister and I want to head out for a great pizza. Staff is always wonderful and the atmosphere is comfortable. You'll always have a smile to take home with you. read more

Amazing space! Very unique for the area and a great place to hang out. +/- 20 beers on tap. Their own brews coming soon. Pizza is legit! read more

Great food - the peanut butter and jelly pizza with jalapeños and pepperoni was excellent, definitely weird though. The beer selection was great as well. $14 for a pizza that only serves 1 person is a bit much, but it was tasty. read more

My husband has been on the lookout for a beer place that has a great dark beer selection. Stop here, have beer, eat a pizza (yummy!). Who could ask for more? read more

Like a previous review said their pizza is legit. Went there for lunch with 2 co-workers and we had 3 different pies and all of them were amazing. But if you like one you best go often because they change their offerings every 6 weeks. The beer selection is amazing and the owners aren't scared to interact with you. Will be my go to place for pizza and beer! If you don't try it, you are missing out! read more

Great beer, excellent selection of their own and a perfect mix of other local breweries. Pizzas were amazing. Very causal vibe.

Pretty good place to have an after work beer. Me personally would like it a little better if it was more like a microbrewery where you can see the process happening and smell the wort when you walk through the door but it was still an enjoyable environment. read more

This is a fun spot, the atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming. I love the lounge areas and plethora of games available. The beer selection is good and fairly priced. Before coming here know that the pizzas are not the focal point, more of a side for the beer. Overall a good experience. read more

Great beer, great pizza & great atmosphere! They have a rotating list of craft beers; unique and delicious wood fired pizza combo's, friendly service and diverse music list. read more

Pizza was excellent with some good outdoor seating. Beer was very good, but can we get some frosted mugs/glasses? If you were sitting inside it was hot as heck. read more

No reason to not give it 5 stars. Very good beers, cozy atmosphere, pizzas looked great, very busy, bar should be longer and more seating at it. Definitely will return when in the area. read more

Friendly staff, great variety of beers and the pizza is hard to beat! Definitely one of our go to places for date night!

Awesome place. Great atmosphere, draft beer list, and delicious pizza. Highly recommended!

A friend and I went there to try out the newest brewery around. Staff and owners were on site and on point despite how busy they were. We ordered a pizza and it was as good as anything you will find anywhere. Seriously, try the pizza if the oven is on, you won't be disappointed. Since that first time I have been there twice. I was able to try several very good brews and most were "do agains". I have met several brewery owners, and this place has the best. Personable, chatty and friendly. I hope they are successful. read more
