I've spent 55 years living in NY and loving the pizza. I came across this gem of a pizzeria in of all places Louisville, KY. The pizza was fantastic and could hold its own in any Boro of NY. While the pizza was the star of the show the salads are amazing. I ordered one, and literally every table around me commented on how good it looked and ordered a few for their own. BTW, the tiramisu is the best I've ever had, including in NY. We need to get Dave Portnoy down here! read more

Wheated Pizza - Half sausage and basil half meatball - Pizza Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We've been wanting to try this place since I saw Dave Portnoy's review from the location in Brooklyn, NY. He gave it an 8.1 and 8.4. If you know, you know. One bite, everybody knows the rules! Finally! NY pizza done right here in Louisville, KY! Got the Bensonhurst (margherita) and added pepperoni. Crust is charred, crispy, fluffy, undercarriage is an art design, sauce is bright and vibrant with quality tomatoes, mozz is perfectly distributed with the Pecorino, basil gives it the fresh pop, and the pepperoni finishes it off with that saltiness I'm looking for. Wings were really good and "fall off the bone." Service was absolutely fantastic. Def coming back for more! read more

My friend and I had pleasure experience at this place. The place is gorgeous as it is a house. Inside is quite small and cute vibe. It wasnt that too loud as I would except. We ordered meatballs as starter. It was so delicious. Also we ordered Ketucky Bridgton Bacon Pizza. It is delicious too. We did had smoked maple old fashioned and it was quite strong but good. We would love to come back for more! Also the waitress Ivy was so nice and did everything well as the others. read more

Wheated Pizza - Caesar Salad, Mezcal Cup, Pineapple cocktail - Pizza Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

This was my first time there & cannot wait to go back! Great use of space, polite staff & the food, was wonderful! There are meatballs hiding under that gorgeous pile of cheese and, they were cooked to perfection. My only wish was for bread to eat the leftover sauce & cheese. Chicago style thin crust pizza. As someone from (Chicago)... can confirm, this is pretty comparable just wish the crust was a bit thicker but otherwise delicious!! The sauce was great & the sausage was wonderful, spot on "Chicago style" fennel & all. It isn't a staple menu item - I'll definitely have my eyes out waiting for the return. read more

Went back again for another visit and Wheatedmis still as good as it gets for NY or New Haven style in Louisville. 8.5 on my version of the Portnoy scale. Meatballs with marinara and freshly grated Parmesan on top are fantastic. Fresh parm is delicate and melts in your mouth. Great service, nice spot for a few beers or cocktails along with tremendous pizza. Must try for Louisville pizza. One last addition. My wife ordered the tiramisu as a dessert and ranks it an 8.5 out of 10 on the Kathy tiramisu scale. read more

Wheated is an awesome spot to dine in at. Cute front porch if the weather is nice. Cozy inside options. Great staff, all friendly and lovely people. Takeout is a lil more difficult. Their menu isn't posted up anywhere accessible. Their instagram has an order link for a pop up 5 months ago. They seem to have no website. Managed to use the year old menu photos here on Yelp and their number on google to call and order to go. It seems the menu hasn't changed in a year and we were able to order everything we wanted on our recent order We got a supreme, their margarita with pepperoni added, a Caesar salad and meatballs. Everything was great. The pizza has a super crispy crunchy crust. But that also means it doesn't hold and reheat super well. So I wouldn't suggest ordering take out for more than you want that meal. The salad was fresh and wonderfully put together. Mountains of fresh grated cheese on top and dressed perfectly. The meatballs in the red sauce and ricotta base were insane. So so good. Overall we think wheated is one of the best pizza options in town, in a crowded market no less. I wish takeout options were easier, and I wish the crust had a lil more chew so it would have a better bite and reheat easier. But now I'm motivated to just eat it all right away! read more

Perfection. I don't have another word for it. This pizza was crispy yet had great flop, was hot but not sizzling and above all was the perfect cheese ratio. Loved how fresh the basil was (and that it was added after coming out of the oven). The pepperoni was not too greasy. Everything about this pizza made my mouth water. The caesar salad was good - I'm personally just not much of a cheese head! That being said I think 8/10 people are, and therefore would love it! Service was fast! I mean really fast! We were checked on consistently and with care. Also thought the ambience of the space was just what it should be. Lovely first date spot! Can't wait to try and eat outdoors next time we come! read more

Inside is very intimate. Closed space on the inside and kitchen in sight. Service was very nice, our waitress did a great job. We got a New York pie and a New Haven style pie, each with half pepperoni and half cheese. Each pizza was made very very well! Thoroughly enjoyed the well-done flavors of the pies. Ppl I was hanging out with were not in favor of the drinks they ordered, but the pizza is definitely cravable. Definitely recommend going New Haven style in the future, and hope to come back here next time I'm in Louisville. read more

Wheated Pizza - New haven't style pizza half pepp half cheese - Pizza Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Wheated Pizza has excellent salads and pizza. Great location and nice ambiance too! Service is consistent.

Rule 1. Save room for the Tiramisu. Caveat 1. That won't be easy. Have been here a couple of times as well as getting takeout and pizzas are some of the best in Louisville. Crust is perfectly blistered. Toppings are fresh and generous. And you can have some salad with your mound of grated Parmesan (if you go, you'll see). Love that this place is walking distance for us, and we can stop at Darlings bar on the way home. read more

Met a friend here for dinner on a Friday night. Thankfully we came early & were seated on arrival. When we left there was quiet the line & waitlist for seating. I loved that Wheated kept some of the original home detail when renovating the space. My husband and I enjoyed the old fashioned cocktail. We ordered the Caesar salad & a pizza to split. The Caesar salad was the star of the show with all that cheese! Our pizza came hot out of the oven. The crust was cooked to perfection & the taste did not disappoint. Our service was excellent. Clean bathroom. Thank you Wheated staff for a great dinner! Can not wait to return read more

Delicious food and cute ambiance!! We did a bottle of rosé, Cesar salad, and the prospect park south pizza. One size pizza and quite large for 2. Happy to have left overs!

A top-quality entry into the rather robust Louisville pizza scene...with some quality cocktails that easily hold their own as a lure alongside some tasty pizza. Good variety of pizzas, quality toppings, nice charred and chewy crust. Some tasty sides too (loved the meatballs). Cocktails are amazing...and there are some especially unique entries, such as the espresso martini topped with Parmesan. Yes, that's real. I'll admit...I'm glad I tried it, but am not sure the salty-sweet-chocolatey combo is one I'll add to my regular list...others disagreed and seemed more in the "I'll have another" mentality. Worth a try at the least! Service is friendly and helpful, but it gets really crowded, and they can get stretched a little thin. Not a critique at all, but I know some are needier than others, so I note that this is not a place you're likely to be checked on every two minutes...but you will also be able to order a round or two, it's not slow. Good space. Relaxed. I really like the small bar area, but there are tables too of course. It will get crowded, and you will likely have a wait (and unless there's room in the bar, there's not much standing room to wait). So, just time your visit or be willing to enjoy a nice drink by the front door while you await your table. read more

We've been meaning to try this place since they opened and finally made it and we're glad we did! First impression is everyone is super friendly!! The place is really clean. And the food was absolutely delicious. We got the wings which were literally fall off the bone tender. And the pizza was delicious. High-quality, fresh ingredients. And very reasonably priced! I highly recommend this place! read more

What drew us in to try Wheated is probably what gets most people in the door, and is by itself a good enough reason. It's an authentic Brooklyn pie that does not disappoint. On our first visit here, we were seated next to a table of 6 grey-haired women, and every one of them ordered their own pie, so they would not have to share and they would all have something to take home. They were licking their own fingers and taking photos -- it was a delight. But I want to hype the salads and our meatball appetizer. We ordered a simple mixed green salad with green apple and walnuts, and it was beautifully done, and large enough to split. The meatball was wonderful too. We saw others getting different salads, and all of them looked equally good. The salad, of course, is a nice counterbalance for the pizza, while the meatball is egregious (especially at a table of two people), but some days are occasions, right? I will say, however, that I don't quite buy into the cocktail push here. I know that Louisville is a cocktail town, and generally I'm on board. But I don't think I'm alone in the thought that pizza calls for beer or maybe a Coke. Michael did order a cocktail, and it was good. But I noticed that while we were eating, that cocktail was sitting on the sidelines waiting for its turn. I would have enjoyed seeing some better beer options, but honestly, it didn't matter -- I was here for the food. read more

Sat outside and the patio was super cute. Our server was super cute & sweet. Food was good but just good. Got the vodka pizza and the white pizza with bacon (can't remember the names of them). Again, good but not great. 2 pizzas and 3 drinks for $120 was kind of wild. read more

Yes...yes...and another yes if you are wanting to check this place out. The moment the espresso martini and the Ceaser salad hit my lips I was doing my impression of Philip Rosenthal's happy dance! Pricey? Yes, but worth it! Come before 6 for happy hour and get a drink half off. Pizza was super delicious, we even got one to go. Thank you Wheated for being part of Louisville. read more

Wheated is a trendy and lively pizza spot in Louisville that may be the best in the city. Friendly service and ambient vibe made the dining experience very pleasant. The crust was fantastic with a perfect undercarriage. The sauce and olive oil also have great flavor. The marinara and ricotta mixture is a great side as well. read more

Decided to try Wheated a second time, very glad I did. We were initially going to go to the pizza place next door, but it was jam packed with loud children. Wheated was a much more peaceful dining experience. They have expanded their bourbon offerings since my first visit months ago. Decent pricing for a one ounce pour, if you want to give a new bourbon a try. We decided to sit at the bar again, so cannot comment on the dining area. Bartenders were friendly and attentive. Salads were really, really good. I loved that there was no dressing in the bowl when I finished. I personally dislike it when my salads are drowning in dressing. The mixed greens salad had the perfect amount of dressing for me. Very delicious. I would suggest, though, that you may want to share a salad if you are also getting a pizza. I was too full after my salad to eat a whole slice. (Luckily, the leftover pizza heated up well the next day.) Pizza was really delicious. The price point is a bit higher than neighboring businesses, but it's good quality food in a really nice atmosphere. I believe you get what you pay for at Wheated. We will be back! read more

Several friends recommended Wheated, so we decided to try it. We sat on the patio, which was nice, and were quickly greeted with menus and water. I was disappointed that they do not offer iced tea and only have a few canned drink options. (Coke/Diet Coke) We ordered the Caesar salad and Bensonhurst Pizza to split. Everything we had was solid and the portion sizes were big. read more

My Husband has been dying to try this place so I suggested it on Friday when we decided we didn't want to do anything crazy for Valentine's Day this year. When we arrived we were only quoted a 30-40 minute wait which was surprising for how busy it was so we walked over to the bar to get a drink. After standing there for a few minutes we got lucky and 2 seats opened up so we grabbed them. Considering how busy it was we weren't greeted immediately but once we were we received exceptional service. I started with the espresso martini, which was hands down the best cocktail I've EVER had!! Before you say, "Okay, yeah right", you have to understand it's not your normal espresso martini, yes there is your traditional vodka and cold brew liquor but what sets this one apart is the cacao Carajillo whip and black truffle saline. It's like sipping sophistication, through a cloud of marshmallow fluff. I have dreamed about it ever since. My husband just grabbed a beer on tap. The menu is small, but has a lot of unique options. There were several pizzas that intrigued us but we opted to stay safe for our first visit and got the Ny Slice Style Pie and added pepperoni and fennel sausage which was packed full of flavor. The pepperonis were small and curled up which I love bc it's makes the edges crispy and the sausage was a little spicy. I will say their style of pizza is a little more well done than I prefer however my husband absolutely loved it. One of the bartenders noticed I wasn't eating the crust and asked if everything was OK and I explained what I mentioned above. She asked if I would like a new pizza and I said absolutely not. I explained I had seen multiple reviews as well as videos of the pizza and knew what to expect. She did mention that you can ask do you have the pizza less well done so I will do that next time and my husband can just get his own pizza lol I definitely can't wait to go back and give this place another try as well as try something different on the menu. read more

Cocktails, salad, and meatball appetizer were awesome. Pizza was average. We were seated near the kitchen, which was fine, but they had music blaring which competed with the music in the dining room. Additionally the server was too dressed too casual for the vibe and menu prices. read more

Holy hell! Louisville are FINALLY has legit NYC pizza. This stuff is incredible and is exactly like all the best pies I've ever encountered in the Big Apple. The pizza is *perfectly* charred (not burnt, charred) and the sauce is so deliciously sweet. The toppings we had (8 year old with us - picky) were great quality as well. The salad was a last second add on and glad we did that. Was great to share between the three of us. We were in and out quickly with some great service. I don't think the table next to us was as fortunate unless they were being very casual and taking a while to order, BUT - growing pains. The food was great and we had the server and a manager both check in to make sure everything was good. In addition to the tremendous pizza, the Manhattan was the best one of those that I've ever had as well. Can't wait to go back. read more

Went on a Friday night at 545 and didn't have a wait. (When we left around 7 there were a lot of folks waiting for a table.) Spacer is smaller but they fit quite a few tables within the building (and they have seating upstairs). Friendly and efficient staff throughout the night. Ordered the Caesar salad and Sunset Pizza. Enjoyed both. Salad was $14 and pizzas around $24-31. read more

Host and hostess are a joke. Was told 15 minute wait and waited 45 minutes while people walked in for the same group size and were seated within 5 minutes. Pizza's were served 10 minutes apart, Pizza was floppy and undercooked and really mediocre at best - easily outshined by Lupo and Impellizeris. Caesar salad and cocktails were on point - pretty much the only redeeming thing. Oh and I had the kitchen counter in my neck the entire time because they have too many tables jammed in. Zero plans to return. read more

My favorite pizza in Louisville and my wife loved their salad. The staff was awesome and loved the dining area.

The Caesar salad, meatballs, and supreme pizza were delicious! We got lucky with a parking spot behind the restaurant. Otherwise it would have been very hard to park. My only negative is the noise level. We sat inside, it is small rooms so it was extremely loud. read more

Is it real NY style? As someone who lived in NY for a year, no, but it is floppy and delicious and thats alright by me. Ordered two pizzas, one for here and one to go. The for here was the NY Slice Style Pizza: tomato sauce, low moisture mozzarella, Pecorino-Romano, oregano. This was my favorite of the two, it had a great balance of flavors and the crust is super delicious. The one we took home for the next nights dinner was the Sunset Park: hot sopressetta, tomato sauce, fresh and aged mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano. This was also very good but the sopressetta was a bit too salty for my liking so I dont know if I would get that one again. Service was top notch and attentive, love the interior and the covered patio - I will come back when it isnt 5 billion degrees out to take advantage of that! read more

This restaurant exceeded my expectations. We tried the Caesar salad, meatballs, NY slice pizza, and tiramisu. Everything was delicious! Loved the crust. Don't leave without getting the tiramisu. The vibe and the people were great also. One of the best pizzas in Louisville. We'll be back! read more

Finally a great pizza place has arrived. This is thinner crust with a perfect blend of crispy and chewy. I'm so glad they just opened after years of looking for this style to no avail locally. Tried the meatball app, which was awesome - two large ones with ample sauce and hidden under a mound of grated cheese and fresh ricotta. So good I could make a meal out of those alone. Also tried the NY Slice pie with added pepperoni and sausage. These are my favorite pepperoni - little guys blasted in the oven so they curl, crips on the edges. A classic pie done right. Also tried the Prospect Park, which was a white pie that had ample garlicky and artichoke, olive flavors. Also great. Our server was handy with recommendations especially cocktails and drinks. Rare around here to find a pizza place with a full bar that is respectable. This is a very good selection and the server helped brainstorm some options given the mood, hot temps, and what we ordered. The patio is a pleasant surprise on Bardstown. Great to be outside but essentially 1-story off the road and sunken into the lot. That offers great natural light at sunset and a bit of a buffer from the noise on Bardstown. The vibe is casual but classy. We will be back - welcome to Louisville!! read more

Cute place and the cocktails sounded good, but we didn't order any. I think they're unique because of the mountain of parm on their food, but it doesn't add much.

New York style pizza and cocktails! They do have two beer options (IPA & Pilsner) but mainly cocktails. They pile the fresh parm HIGH on the meatballs and Caesar salad. The meatballs were juicy and flavorful. The dough was really good--light, airy, and crispy. Indoor seating with an open-ish kitchen concept so you can see the chefs slinging dough. It was pretty loud inside--outside might be better for a date. read more
