as a kid growing up I would frequent this store while visiting a friend that lived in the area…read more imagine to my surprise to see it still standing and in operation as a Magic Market when I moved into the area. The place hadn't changed too much in years, just the addition of more items than I remember. I come here regularly now that I live in the area, and pardon the pun but as a convenience store, I find it extremely convenient. I stop in for sodas, and quick snacks on the way to work, and I'm usually in an out in no time flat, which is always a good thing in my book. The people that I deal with that work there, are pleasant to talk to, and are quick and efficient at their job, yet another plus for added bonus. I also like the fact that you can get items here that you can't find at other places in town, which is another reason for stopping here regularly. The store is clean and well maintained, and the prices are the same at many other "quick shops" or dare I say it 7-11's.. remember folks, its a convenience store, and it doesn't always mean convenient prices.. don't let that deter you from stopping here, it really is a convenience...

Shelves are faced and full with unique, intriguing meat market driven products including a few decent selection of sundry products to fill a light shopping list. IMO though after purchasing almost $100 in steaks, pork and sausage products was disappointed with the quality at the plate. The thick cut pork chop were great, juicy and filled a large diner appetite. However the thick cut porterhouse, costing $27 was tuff when cooked to MMR, this was a big downer we had expected a whole lot more. the Link breakfast sausage was under seasoned it left us thinking it didn't bring anything special to the breakfast meal. We do expect to give you folks another try in the future. Thank you for the opportunity to experience your store.

A friend who lives in Waterloo had mention Pie Hard so a while back I headed over. Sadly they were…read morebooked up and out of dough before I arrived! This time we called ahead to get orders in to make sure the rush didn't beat us to dinner and boy was it worth it. Sam working the front of house provided great service, friendly with checking and had some good tips on what to order after asking some questions. We order some cheese bread to enjoy as I considered what I wanted. Dipping sauces too, everything is made in-house and the ranch and vodka sauces were awesome. The pizzas are 10 inch, individual sized which meant we could make separate, different choices. I went with the Queen with vodka sauce adding pepperoni and sausage, it was yummy. A typical kind of pizza for sure, but that's a really good gauge on dough, sauce, etc cause I have has lots of pizzas with similar listed ingredients. And this had really good flavor! A few spots where air bubbles created very thin areas were cooked more than looks great but the bit of oaky flavor was fantastic. My friend Sean got something really unique, something he had thought about before when he was there but he regularly orders other things. We were both intrigued by the idea of a loaded potato pizza and I am so glad that he went for it and shared! I seriously will be craving it. So unique with the garlic herd cream sauce, and it was a good call to add sausage. They have a full bar, make frozen custard, and more. The interior is small, with some cool murals on the walls. I hadn't been to downtown Waterloo but it's nice. There were some fun murals but in an old downtown area with lots of shops nearby and murals to check out too.

Pie Hard is a pizza lovers paradise!…read more The Waterloo pizza shop has a fun vibe that's super welcoming! The menu is filled with deliciously creative pies and salads that can hold their own against their carbs counterparts. The high quality ingredients make for incredible pies that don't leave you feeling like you need to get rolled out. My favs: Mcclane: Pepperoni with Roasted Garlic Kurt Brussels: Shaved Brussels Sprouts, Mustard Bechamel sauce with a vegan Bacon Syrup. (MUST!) Buffy Summers: Buffalo Chicken Pizza with Pickled Pineapple and Buttermilk Ranch Farmhouse Salad: Field Greens Salad mixed with Ranch topped with Pepperoni and Garlic Breadcrumbs Pie Hard NEEDS to be at the top of your list!

I had no reason to come to this area, so this was ultimately a waste of gas. Upon googling, the shop owner does seem to announce closures on their FB, so check there before taking the drive.
