This was such a cool place to go. Multiple different restaurants all shared the same outdoor seating. So you could grab a beer from the brewery and then get a pizza from the next place and just enjoy the beautiful weather. Like a better version of a food hall without the unnecessary extra cost of being in a food hall. I got the plain pepperoni pizza and it was super tasty. Not super greasy, had a decent crisp to the crust. I also got the triple chocolate cake to bring home and oh my lord it was perfect. I'd definitely go back! Pizza - 8.1/10 Chocolate Cake - 9.1/10
This place was definitely not what I expected. The first thing I noticed is that it's not very accessible. There's a fairly steep staircase you need to walk down, and since there's no parking on site you can't just "run in and grab a pizza". You either need to pay for garage parking, pay for street parking, or take a chance parking on a street with "no parking on either side" signs. I'm sure it's great for those who live downtown and can walk, but not so much for anyone who uses a car. The pizza was alright, but nothing special to me, and I'm very glad I used a gift card I had been given to pay because the pizza I received was definitely not worth the $23 I paid. The cheese was the best thing on my pizza, the chewy crust caught me off guard, and the oversized pizza box is extremely misleading. The person who was working the cash register seemed to be learning English, and while that's great, it took nearly 3 minutes for her to understand my name. I had to pull out my phone and show her the email with my name before she understood. Look, I understand I was there on a Friday night and they were busy. None of that excuses the things I was displeased with. I might give another location another chance, but I will NEVER be ordering from this, the Winston Salem location again.
We ordered us a pizza tonight and noticed the bottom was a little thin and a little burnt. It was still good and we didn't say a word. After a little bit a worker bought over, what we thought was a empty pizza box, he proceeded to say this pizza was free and on them for ours being a little burnt on the bottom. We didn't expect that! They didnt have to do that at all! Their customer service was excellent and very friendly. The place is clean and kept up. I highly recommend them!
Very spacious. Plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. Good for all occasions. Food was great... especially the strawberry muffin which was amazing!! However, major drawback is policy that they will not customize your pizza. It must come exactly as described on the menu. We were astonished by the lack of flexibility here. I guess they figure their food is good enough that they can tell people to go elsewhere if they don't like it, which I respect. On the other hand, if you or your loved one has special dietary needs or preferences, you're better off going somewhere else
The taste of the pizza was delicious because it is not like ordinary pizza. This tastes like fresh homemade. The caramel gelato as well.
