We came to have dinner for the very first time, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. I had the house salad with chimichurri dressing, which was really tasty, and then we shared the Brussels & Taters appetizer and the Uncle Collin pizza. The appetizer was good but I was expecting tater tots instead of sliced potatoes. It was flavorful still. Pizza was an interesting choice as well. Their dough is kinda chewy, which I personally prefer, but feels fresh and well prepared.
This a sweet little spot right before the train tracks. The wood fired pizzas are bomb!
Easily of the best pizza restaurants in Lexington. Great service, food and environment!
If your in Lexington and looking for neighborhood non-chain pizza. This is a local spot and while the menu is limited, a couple of sandwiches, salad, etc. their house made pizzas are the main draw. In door seating is limited, maybe 20-25 including the bar, they do have a fairly large patio. And if you like to see trains go by, this is your place.
Today their rating was actually ZERO. I tried calling for 40 minutes; the line was continuously busy. Finally I tried going to their website to do an online order. There was no option for me to finalize the order with the stipulation that I would pay in cash. (I avoid using credit cards with locally-owned businesses, because of the hefty fees charged -- to the business owners-- by the credit card companies.) I ALWAYS pay cash.The site said the order would be available for pickup at 7:00. I arrived about 5 minutes early and stood out in the cold (side pickup window) until an employee finally responded to the bell that I rang. He informed that that my order "had not been received." I informed him that they had just lost me as a customer.I ended up at home with a (hassle-free) frozen pizza from Kroger. Will I ever buy a pizza from PieTana again? Right now my answer would be "NO WAY." Unless I hear something from them that will help me change my mind...More: the blasé young man who came to the window 1) offered no apology; 2) offered no help in understanding your website (I had told him it was my first time trying to use the site), 3) did not offer to take my order and expedite it; 4) did not invite me to come in out of the cold while I waited. (Your website says that orders must be picked up.at the side window, where the customer has to stand outdoors. It was about 42° this evening, and breezy.)By the standards I grew up with (1960's & 1970's), he was very rude. He was obviously more interested in taking care of himself than in me. In my day, some assistance would have been offered to let the customer know that you appreciate our business. What I received from your business today wasn't hospitality by anyone's definition.He treated me as if he just wanted me to go away, so he didn't have to spend any time talking to me. (Having your phone off the hook for 40 minutes is another matter.)I think both your website AND the attitudes of your employees need some positive work.
Over the past weekend, Fat Man Reviews ventured out to PieTana in Lexington, KY. PieTana is a pizza shop that cooks with a wood-fired oven, This is the home of the Lexington style crust, they use West 6th Amber Ale in their pizza crusts.We started with the Pizza Bones with Cheese. The bones are their bread sticks with cheese, they are served with fresh marinara and house made garlic cream sauce. The dough was cooked to perfection and the cheese was melted to a golden brown. There was a good chew and a buttery flavor to this dish. The marinara was slightly chunky and had a great tomato flavor. The cream sauce had a hint of sweetness, but it was more cream than garlic. A Fat Man pro-tip, mix the sauces.We also tried their Signature Wings. They are spritzed with fresh lemon juice, coated with Parmesan cheese and bourbon smoked paprika then topped with chimichurri and served with bleu cheese. The wings were juicy and cooked perfectly, the lemon juice and the chimi was wonderful. The bleu cheese was chunky and great. The Parmesan cheese was a bit burnt and that flavor came through some. But make no mistake, these are excellent wings.We also tried the Vinnie pizza. This comes with tomato sauce, mozzarella, Blue Door smoked brisket, bacon pepperoni, red onion and Marksbury Farm Italian sausage. The crust is amazing and unique, the amber ale adds a new level to the flavor. The pizza was pretty good all around, however the sausage and brisket were cooked before and when reheating it makes them a little tough and extra greasy, in my opinion. The pepperoni was great, and the bacon was chopped thick.PieTana is a very small joint, but they do have a patio that is open in the warmer months. They serve draft and bottled beer, and they have a full bar. The menu offers salads, appetizers, signature pies that are all named after the Nealey family and a build your own option. The Fat Man says that PieTana is Fat Man Approved.
Finally was able to try out PieTana. I have again had it on my list to try for a few months and today was the day. I brought my two daughters along for the visit.As we entered I already had a feeling we were going to enjoy it. I really like the building and the decor. Although I wasn't there for a drink they have a great fully stocked bar and serve many of the Local Brews!We all ordered the Lunch Personal Pizzas and got two of their signature versions and one make your own. The Vinnie and the Jolene along with a Banana pepper, pepperoni pizza. I also started us off with an appetizer of the Pizza Bones w/cheese. Plus the Lunch specials all came with a monster salad. (Pictured)Excellent pizzas, fantastic crust, solid sizes, and wonderful ingredients! The Brisket is from Blue Door Barbecue, the Sausage is from Marksbury Farms as a few examples. We finished it off with the Cannolis and have absolutely no regrets.Highly recommend if you are in the mood for a unique pizza experience.
Best pizza in Lexington! The Vinnie is incredible, and their chimichurri sauce is unreal. The grilled veggies and brussels sprouts are also amazing.
Pizza was as great as any I've had. Super nice customer service. Professional
Chose to sit on the patio since the weather was nice for a November day. Server brought menus and then our beverages. He said he would give us a few more minutes to look over the menu. He never came back. It wasn't busy. We left, won't go back.
