Excellent find! What a fantastic pizza!…read more We were staying at the fancy tent place up the road and were pretty hungry and fancied a beer or two. Whip out the trusty Yelp app and we are on our way to this wonderful little gem! I have found this app to be a great tool for finding local gems like this. We arrive and it's a bit under construction from the looks of it. This is a family business in the truest sense. They do all of the work themselves, at least when I was here. He is adding on to the place and creating more seating. He manned the oven and she waited on the tables and I feel like there were some of their children working in the back as well. There are a few other families there with us. One other from our campsite that I noticed when were arriving. I love the fact that the stones for the oven came from the ground right out front of the place while they were digging it up to build the patio. How cool is that?!?!? He told me all about it when I asked if he had built it himself. He hired a mason locally he said. Ok. Pizza hits the table. Wow. I could list 42 adjectives describing how good it was, but you just need to go see for yourself!! Perfect crust though!! Perfect! Do that as fast as you can! Come here by plane, train, auto, snowmobile, tank. Whatever. I even heated up the leftovers on a stone by the fire at the tent. Stupid good leftover too!!! Thank you to the Stones for a great meal and wonderful hospitality!! '26 - 25

Because of that, I truly owe this place the 5 star review it deserves. Myself and my party sat outside and though the air was crisp, we put our jackets on and enjoyed the fresh air. I hope when the pandemic is over we normalize outdoor eating even when it's a bit chilly. This place was dog friendly, and the server was really sweet to my friends pup that was with us. Server was really friendly and accommodating. My fiancé got the fried chicken and my friend got the fish and chips. Both loved their meals. I live in MA, but I really can't wait to be back here sometime soon!

We walked over from the main strip of downtown and loved the vibe as soon as we arrived. Walking down the stairs to get to the brewery versus the glass blowing shop was so cute. With apples on the ground from the apple trees, it couldn't be more "Maine". When walking in, you order at the bar for both food and drink and then there is a booth/trailer out back where the food comes out. The inside is set up for open mic night and then outside they have a full stage where they host live music. There is plenty of seating outside at the picnic tables as well. We ordered a couple beers, the Margherita pizza, the potato chips, and the Carrot Top salad. I cannot tell you howwwwwwwww amazing the salad was!! I have never had a salad like this and I ate every last bite. The roasted carrots were so good, combined with the crispy onions and the dressing; it was heaven. The chips were incredible and the dip that comes with it just elevates it that much more. I believe it was a pickle dip of some sort? I can't remember specifically, just that I needed a vat of it. Then the pizza?! We couldn't finish it but man did we want to! Add all this tasty food to a beautiful backdrop and we were the happiest little foodies in Maine. Hands down best stop in Ellsworth!

So first off; the view! Great view of a bay off the ocean. (If some guy with a big Jeep didn't park…read moreright in the way! That's me! ) After the view, come warm up to a cocktail with Jeff. I adore bourbon and "old fashions" to be specific. They have a great KnobCreek9 Old Fashioned. I highly suggest it but top end is their forte' so your imagination is your only holes barred. They are an open fire pizza joint but the apps are also amazing! Sometimes they have events like New Years and they had downstairs open for overflow (my first impression as upstairs was being renovated at the time). I loved it and their barkeeps are all characters and special. These folks are handcrafted with excellence. My friend Jeff!!! Cool guy - The pizza! I picked the mushroom pizza. It has great presentation and some niceties alongside. I'm gonna work my way through the menu. Come join Me! Blue Hill, Maine! Getting down in the Wintuh! !!! Magic Mushrooms is amazing, go try it!

Expensive meal, poor execution, and all four of us experienced stomach distress afterward…read more We visited Blaze Brewing in Blue Hill on December 13 for a birthday and left deeply disappointed. Service lacked attention to detail, especially given how quiet the restaurant was. Glasses arrived spotty, flatware mismatched, and a $14 glass of wine smelled strongly of chlorine. No plates were offered for a shared appetizer, and there was no salt and pepper on the table--we had to ask for both. The food did not justify the price. The Caesar salad was far from authentic--soggy, overdressed, and heavy on vinegar. The steak had a significant amount of gristle, and the mushroom/beef gravy had the taste and texture of a commercial product rather than something house-made. Fries were overdone and served in a very small portion. Most concerning, all four of us experienced stomach discomfort and digestive distress within a short time after the meal. For what we paid, we expected much better. This visit was a major disappointment.

But the beer wasn't quite what I was hoping that it would be. I had the Tiger Style Fierce Pale Ale and thought it was just fair. Main thing was I didn't find it all that memorable and it was just hard to get into. Flavor features with this beer are juicy, citrusy, hoppy and sweet. It also has a smooth body to it. Unfortunately I wish I could have gotten into it more and maybe the pale ale wasn't the best choice here but alas that is how it all shook out.

It was crispy, perfectly sized pieces, very flavorful (I think it was teriyaki) and the portion was generous. We had the pizza special of the day (elote) with vegan cheese and it was decent. The breaded cauliflower app would have been better with some salt/flavoring in the breading and the brussel sprouts had great flavor and texture but they burnt them a bit and it took away from making them a 10/10. The environment was a little loud but the view of the river was nice and the server was pleasant even if a little busy and absent at times.

I tried the boneless tenders and salt and vinegar fries. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich. Both were good. Tender sauces are house made and have a "kick" to them. Very cute inside.
