    Best pizza in the tri state area. Been going here for years and they haven't changed a thing about the quality of their pizzas (which is exactly how it should be)

    Pepperoni pizza with feta personal size

    Great local spot for pizza and live music. They also host various other events like trivia. We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch as my dad liked the local band performing. We got the loaded pretzel bites and a personal sized pizza with pepperoni and feta. I love that they have personal sized pizza options so everyone can get something they like. Food was good and it is a cool location being in an old train depot.

    Just came in for a beer and snack. Our group got the stuffed mushrooms, loaded pretzel and a personal pan pizza. The mushrooms were delicious with some taste of garlic. Loaded pretzel was good too but like mushrooms more. Personal pan even though small was perfect! I washed it down with a craft beer. Come give them a try.

    Excellent service, a creative menu and a good selection of beverages. The reuben appetizer was even better than the calzone, which was excellent! Give this place a try!

    Hands down, some of the best customer service I've had for a large party. I reached out to Deb via email about hosting my daughter soccer team for a team family dinner on a Friday evening. She responded to my request in less than 24 hours. She was very kind and helpful. She graciously gave me time to gather final numbers and call her back about 3 days before the event. We had 40 people, choose to do the salad, pizza, and soda option. They also were able to accommodate with Gluten Free pizzas too! We asked for food to be ready and served right at 7pm and they were set up and right on time!! We had one other server Shana helping. Both Deb and her were smiling and cheerful! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this venue to groups of all sizes. The building is a historic train depot and they did a wonderful job keeping the original charm of the building while turning it into a beautiful venue!! Thank you Deb and Steve!!

    Personal pizza with sausage, red peppers, and onions.

    This was a nice stop on a weekday night when I was passing through town. They have live entertainment, which worried me at first, but it turned out delightful- a solo singer/acoustic guitarist with real talent. The personal pizza (I chose sausage, red peppers, onions) was quite tasty. The tomato soup special tasted a bit too much like pizza sauce, which was a little odd (but OK). Staff were very friendly, but unable to properly recommend a smooth tasting beer out of their collection (I'm sure they do better with IPAs).

    This was some of the best pizza that we've had! The crust was amazing. Loved that the patio was dog friendly as well. Awesome menu with lots of options. Pizza, calzones, a large selection of brews. I liked being able to do a personal pizza with 3 toppings. Their homemade sausage was bomb. We definitely will make this a regular stop when we go up north again!

    We were in town for Grandma's Marathon and picked this place for our post race dinner. We could not have picked a more perfect place! There was a short wait of 15-20 minutes when our party of four arrived. We went to a bar for a couple beverages while we waited. I ordered the Lawn Chair cream ale and, to be honest, it was one of my least favorite cream ales I've had. Still, any beer is good after a marathon. We were seated within the 15-20 minutes they quoted. We ordered the cheese bread as an appetizer which came with a cup of dipping sauce. I love pizza sauce so that was a great plus. We ordered second beers. This time I had the Dreams of Orange cream ale. Now that one was a wonderful cream ale! Then we all ordered pizzas. Husband and son split a large pizza. The waitress warned them that it was very big and I told her that we'd just run a marathon. She said even so she didn't think they could eat it all. Darned if she wasn't right! It was the thickest, most topping filled pizza I have ever seen! Granted it was not cheap at $42 but they loved it and did have leftovers. Son's girlfriend ordered a 10 inch pizza and I ordered a gluten free spinach and feta. Mine was fabulous, especially for a gluten free and also came with delicious dipping sauce! It was the perfect post race meal! I highly recommend it if you're hungry and like beer and pizza.

    Stopped in twice while camping in the area. Place was recommended by my nephew who has played music there a few times. He knows we like quality craft beer and pizza. Man, we were not disappointed! Nice selection of different brews, tasty pizza, breads and salads, friendly capable servers. Unique setting inside and out. Plenty of parking. I treated myself to some merch. Owner Steve there the 2nd time we were in and he was incredibly personable and knowledgeable.

    Welcome to TPB!

    This place is such a vibe! It's like a eclectic hippie took a Green Mill and made it their own. Came on a Wednesday eve and it was moderately full and a epic mustache guy strumming on a guitar. All the young (good looking) staff were attentive and kind. Seemed clean and family friendly(ish)! There are a few tables outside and did see a couple with a dog. Food came out promptly and was good. Brownie for dessert was just OK. Despite my mediocre brownie - I would recommend and will definitely be visiting again!

    Upon first looks on the place it seemed kind run down. Not a very clean location on the outside. However, we decided to sit on the patio. The drinks and food were pretty good. If you are looking for some unique breweries check this place out.

    After a trip to the Minnesota high point, this was EXACTLY what we were looking for: Staff: outstanding service and very friendly. (this is WI so, that's a given.) Beers: average selection of standard beers, but some great seasonals! Food: they make pizza, but it is 100% their own. I don't even know how to describe this style of pizza. It's think, but it ain't cakey and it certainly ain't deep dish. It's unlike any pizza I have ever had. Ambiance: the best aspect of this brewery, live music EVERY NIGHT. Don't hesitate to cross the bridge into 'Sconi!

The food was piping hot even after walking across the street, everything looked handcrafted and the quality was top notch. I got the Limone pizza with added prosciutto and a side of homemade Caesar dressing - 10/10 would get again. My partner got a build your own pizza and it was really tasty but the only bummer was the amount of sausage as a $2 topping for a 9inch - it looked like a pinch of sausage on top of a 2 topping pizza. Still tasted great I just think he'd choose something other than sausage next time. The cheese bread was good, crispy and seasoned well, a nice size for sharing with a few people. Their Rustica salad was really tasty with the vinaigrette and definitely big enough for sharing, and the bread bits on the side were a nice change up from your average crouton. I loved the homemade Caesar dressing for dipping my Limone pizza and cheese bread - definitely more of a strong aromatic flavor than your typical bottled Caesar but it tasted homemade and fresh and it was fun to try something different than Ranch. They have a section outside for patio dining on the nicer days, great location right off the water, nice spot to try for an upscale pizza night whether you dine in or take out.

I didn't have the greatest expectations for pizza in Cloquet, but the reviews were good, and we really wanted pizza. We ended up getting two twelve inch and two ten-inch pizzas, which was way too much for four of us. All the pizzas were great, except perhaps the pesto pizza which didn't have enough interest for my taste. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us regularly while we waited. It did seem to take a while, but I think there were a lot of take-out orders while we were there.

This is a small but well kept restaurant not far off 35. There is a large parking lot and some patio seating. The service here was quick and friendly! We were not rushed while I was trying to figure out what to order. I opted to get the Caesar salad and garlic Parmesan wings to start. The salad had plenty of croutons which my kids loved! The garlic Parmesan wings were juicy and crispy but I couldn't taste garlic or Parmesan on these wings. The pizza was your classic midwestern thin crust. The crust was chewy and crisp and the edges! This pizza was tasty and while I wasn't drinking alcohol since I was the only driver, I suspect that a cold beer with this pizza would be superb! If you are looking for a no frills tasty pizza joint just outside of the hustle and bustle of Duluth, this is definitely your place!
