Since 2024, Lubben Vineyards and Winery has been a local stop off Highway 151 in Anamosa, Iowa. Several tables and seats tables exist, with orders being taken at the bar.  Although the food wasn’t super quick to the







table, it was hot and fresh.  The impressive thing was that most of the items were locally sourced and of high quality.

Verdict

Sauce:  Sauce was a little light on the flatbreads, but that’s about right, considering they can get soggy easily.

Cheese:  High quality cheese makes the day.

Crust: Tasty crust with a good texture.  They were bready, hot and fresh. 

Toppings: Very high-quality ingredients.    

 

Final thoughts: 

I loved the pizza, although the portion sizes seemed a bit small.  This would be great to be paired with a salad. The wine flights were pretty fun, and the desert pizza sticks were worth a try.
