Some of the best pizza we have ever had. You get to choose your own sauce, cheese and toppings. Everything is fresh made, hot and delicious. Came with some fresh yeast bread that reminded me of my Grandma’s…with real butter and honey. My son tried pesto for the first time…excellent!

Friendly staff and simply the best pizza in Lincoln. The beer selection is also outstanding. Be sure to try the garlic cheese bread with green pesto!

Awesome local pizza place downtown. Great vibe, friendly staff and great pizza. Make your own or choose from a variety of house specialties - all available by the slice or as full pizzas. Large patio, bar seating, and tables to accommodate groups of different sizes or solo adventurers alike. Always a must stop at when in town for Gravel Worlds!

I had a great experience here! Cool vibe, great service, and the food was great! The dessert pizza was amazing and I loved my pizza (ended up going with a single slice of "make my own" of pesto base with mozzarella, spinach, bacon, and grilled chicken) - delicious!

We went here following an NMEA performance with a group of approximately 50 people. They were so accommodating. They brought out the food quickly for our people, which included their two appetizer breads. The pesto sauce was a nice touch for the bread. Then the brought out the various pizza options we chose, which all were made very well. I don't recall what we necessarily got, but they were very good choices. The wait staff was very nice and they helped a lot with our group size. The restaurant was very clean and well set up for our traffic flow.

This location is located downtown Lincoln, however they also have a location off 70th and Van Dorn which is also amazing! Food: 5* From pizza, bread, salads, and loaded potatoes you really cannot go wrong. I love the Atlantic pizza (chicken, bacon, broccoli, potato) and I personalize by adding onion. Their bread is fresh baked, try with some butter and red pesto….so good! They have a huge selection of domestic and international beer. Service: 5* I have never had a bad experience here. Each time I call in a pickup order or visit in person the bar and kitchen staff always have a friendly smile. Atmosphere: 5* Fun, laid back bar feel. Pool table is in the back. Bar at the front and plenty of tables for larger parties to cozy next to each other. The decor keeps your eyes wandering, much to look at! One of my favorite pizza spots in Lincoln! You can purchase by the slice or as a whole pizza. Makes it a nice lunch option working downtown Lincoln.

It was a beautiful day to eat our yummy pizza outside! I loved that I could get whatever toppings I wanted on a single slice to try a couple of different pizzas! It was my friend's favorite pizza place, so I got one similar to hers, with red pesto sauce, artichokes, potatoes, mushrooms, hamburger, & slice almonds with mozzarella. The 2nd slice was "The Local" menu option minus onions. Hamburger, sausage, pepperoni, green pepper, olives, mushrooms with marinara, and mozzarella.

I love thin and crispy pizza! So this place is perfect for that. And that hunk of bread was so moist and yummy! I have yet to try the potatoes. We like to sit at the bar so this place is a little annoying for that since you have to line up to order and people stand right behind you. But we also went over the lunch hour. They have a ton of local brewery canned beers to pick from. A few on tap. I’ve been to both locations and the pizza has always been great.

Really fun place to get a great thin crust pizza. Some amazing combinations to choose from - we tried the Northern and Mediterranean - both were amazing! Wait wasn’t too long and service was friendly. Atmosphere was welcoming and fun place to hang out, with cool art and an old school but at the same time modern pizza place feel to it. Definitely going back!
