This
restaurant/brew house is a popular stop among residents of Iowa City,
locals, socialites, and bicycle riders around the eastern Iowa
corridor. It has lots of bar, indoor restaurant, and outdoor
restaurant seating producing a classy atmosphere. Happy hour lasts on
weeknights until 6pm, so our attempt started a little early at 5:45
pm on a Tuesday night. They serve local beer from all over-Wilson's,
John's White Ale, Amana Colonies, and many others. They often rotate
their beers so people can always try something new. As for the
pizzas, they only offered one size, and no specials on weeknights.

The Verdict
Sauce: The sauce
was good. It has a sweet zest to it.
Cheese: Great quality.
Cheese: Great quality.
Crust: This was a
little soggy in the middle, but overall it held its crispness on a
few of the pizza. The flavor was average (a little on the sweeter
side), nothing to write about.
Toppings: The
toppings quality was above average.

Final
Comments/Considerations: This pizza beats any other 'bar' or brewpub
pizza we've tried. It is well worth the drive. Personally, I loved
the Spicy Thai, but they ALL were good. Worth the trip no doubt!
