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.

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.

Went in to pick up a pizza and noticed a special: $4 cheesy bread with a pizza purchase. I asked if…read moreI could add it to my order, and the guy flatly said no. I wasn't asking for anything crazy, just to add a $4 item that was advertised in store (it wasn't even listed on their website, so I didn't know about it beforehand). No offer to help, no coupon, nothing, just a hard no, delivered like I'd asked for something unreasonable. On top of that, the total came to over $40 for one large and one small pizza, which already felt steep. Combined with the unhelpful service, it just wasn't worth it.

It was even better warmed up a little bit. I wish they had single pieces for sale because I would have loved to get multiple flavors. The half Kringle is already a pretty big size to commit to, so I couldn't get more than one.

I've been here several times for 'to go' orders, but hadn't yet been in the restaurant itself. I've…read morenow been twice, and it's great! The first thing to know is that servings are ginormous, so order accordingly! I ordered the breakfast sandwich (just a croissant with some ham and cheese) and it took up the whole plate, no lie! It was also delicious, the cheese was cheesy (and messy, which was a plus and a minus), and the croissant was light and fluffy. I also had one of their flavored lattes, and it was delicious as well. I know they use homemade syrups and it shows. Pro tip though-the lattes fill you up (not so great when they also give you huge portions of food). The staff is friendly, and service is pretty good. On our second visit we did wait quite a while for our food-it was busy, but not packed, so that felt a little off. But otherwise service has been great. They do have an outdoor seating area-we unfortunately haven't been able to try it yet, but I would like to as it looks great!

Not the most quiet, some privacy depending on where you are seated. There is a bar with several beers on tap. Food menu does not seem to change much.

Some friends had recommended it, but again, we came for the vibes, beer, and company. We will be back and give the food another try. Happy eating!

I Came Back to Appleton... Wisconsin Immediately Fed Me…read more There are many ways to kick off an HS Reunion weekend. Apparently, the correct Wisconsin way is cheese curds, a soft pretzel, beer cheese, mustard, and craft beer. One of my host~family sisters and longtime friends brought me to Stone Arch Brewpub shortly after I touched down in Appleton, and this was exactly the kind of welcome~back I needed. Let's talk about those cheese curds. Pillowy. Soft. Tender. Ridiculously good. I don't say this lightly, but these may be some of the best cheese curds I've ever eaten. Then came the pretzel~super buttery and incredibly soft~with Wisconsin beer cheese and mustard for dipping. At that point, the reunion could have ended and I would've considered the trip successful. But we weren't done. We worked our way through an assortment of craft beers spanning Hazy IPAs, West Coast IPAs, Sours and Gose~style beers. The atmosphere was cool, the service was great, and the combination of food, beer and catching up with an old friend made this feel like the perfect beginning to my return to Appleton. Sometimes the best travel experiences aren't about finding the newest or trendiest place. Sometimes it's about sitting down with someone who knows you, sharing some great food and beer, and realizing some things really do feel like coming home. Stone Arch was a damn good way to start the reunion. Would absolutely return.

Ordered breadsticks as an appetizer and a 14" Luigi's Special, which I'm told is the most popular choice. It should be. Wow!

Very tasty, great quality toppings (which I won't list, leaving to you to look up on the menu), very nice thin crust, and lovely sauce. I packed away a little more than I should've, because it was so good. Eating for pleasure, right? So yes, highly recommended, and we will be back.

Our pizza was the Wiseguy Loaded Extra, and was great. Hand tossed crust was cooked perfectly, not soggy or doughy in the middle at all. Toppings were good, the cheese was very good. The onions were sweet and tasty. We'll be back for more of the pizza. The only false note was the "pint" of Guinness. The wee glass would get you laughed out of the place in Ireland! It looked like a 12 ounce glass, not 16 for sure. Even on the tab it said "pint". But otherwise a fine place and we will come back for sure. Edit: I see our server's name is Zachary. Nice job, man!
