I love the outdoor seating and the fact that you can bring outside food there. I also like that they have an outside bar. The shandys they have are delicious.

Great atmosphere- food is excellent, staff is top notch! Outdoor area is great! Highly recommend an evening here!

Great atmosphere with good food and drinks. A member of our party accidentally dropped half their pizza on the ground. A staff member noticed and went out of his way to replaced it free of charge- so kind. Great customer service and wonderful place. Will be back.

Stopped in last night with a few friends for the first time. After our experience though it won't be our last. The bartenders were great! Friendly and outgoing while making amazing drinks. Speaking of the drinks we had those were also fantastic. They also have a great liquor selection with great prices. Would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Awesome resteraunt with a fun drink menu and delicious pizza. When taking an order, ALL electronic tips go to bartenders!! Tip your food runner:)

Great atmosphere in the heart of DT Buffalo!

We were in the area and stopped by for a casual mid week dinner.A change since we have last been here is that the service model has changed to more fast casual. The menu is the same but now you order your food and drinks at the bar and someone brings your food to your table when it’s ready. It wasn’t busy when we came and this was fine for us.The food here is always good, today was no exception. We both ordered pizza. The chicken pesto for him, he said it was good, and had plenty of fresh ingredients. I tried the gluten free crust on the mushroom truffle pizza. The gluten free crust was not bad, good flavor and decent texture. I’d describe it more like a flat bread. There was a wonderful amount of truffle oil/ flavor and a generous helping of arugula, mushroom and cheese. It was a nice and light pizza, kind of like a salad. I liked it and would recommend and order it again.If you are in the mood for gourmet pizza and cocktails check this place out!

I'll start by saying I was caught by one of the staff staring off, as I slowly ate a slice of pizza. Essentially was in a pizza trance, so that happened. Low lighting with bar and brick oven on display, seating has individual tables and for smaller parties, can sit "at the bar" in front of the pizza oven, which is also separated by a clear barrier. Started with drinks and enjoyed a moscow mule and a rum & coke. The drinks were strong but tasted great; not a complaint in the slightest. The real winners though were the pizzas. The white pizza with dollops of creamy ricotta to off set the crunch of the thin pizza crust. If you fold the slice, it'll hold up so you don't lose all the toppings. The pepperoni pizza was savory though slightly greasy but it is expected with the pepperoni cups, which is more flavorful than the typical flat pepperoni. Staff was friendly and to keep minimal distance from everyone, all drink and food orders were done at the bar and you are given a stand with a number they can identify where to bring the food to. There's also a table for water, silverware, napkins, and even takeaway boxes. Overall, you'll get a lot of food and drink for reasonable prices. For two drinks and two pizzas, it was a little over 40 bucks which is a deal for the quality of food that you get. Great spot to go on a date or catch up with someone. There's also outside seating, which I did not try. However, when weather permits, that would be a nice option if in case it is too crowded inside.

Such a warm comfy feel and the BEST food I’ve had in a while! The banana pepper dip is amazing! The pizzas are sooooo good! I loved everything about it

Good beer selection. I enjoyed the crispy cauliflower and a margherita pizza.
