For example, you can have a root beer float but not a ginger beer float even though they have ginger beer. You can only get 4 things on your pizza, not 5. No substitutions on the specialty pizzas.

Credit to the folks in the back for their efforts. As for the pizzas themselves, they were pretty good, in general. Thoroughly enjoyed the Nashville Hot pizza, and the sausage on our BYO was quite tasty. Only complaint would be that they were a little doughy, and a few slices on the square cut BYO had no toppings on them. Overall, these were quality pies. Courtside wasn't around during my time here, so I'm jealous of the current students who get to enjoy solid pizza options.

One friend ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and got a fruity vinaigrette instead. Another friend ordered a burger and they forgot the bacon. A third friend asked for his burger well-done, but it came out medium, also with no bacon. When he asked the server if it looked well-done, she said she didn't know what well-done looks like. He asked if she could get a new one so he wouldn't get sick, and she said she'd check with the kitchen. No apology. It took 25 minutes for the new burger to come out, and by then we had been there for over an hour and a half. When she finally brought it out, she asked if he wanted a box to take it home. Still no bacon on the burger. Also, no apology again. Overall, not a great experience. Will not be back.

The wrap-around bar gives it a welcoming, communal feel--perfect for grabbing a seat solo or catching up with friends. The beer selection is limited, but what they do have is decent, albeit a little on the heavier side. It's the kind of place where you don't need a massive tap list--just a few good options done right. What really surprised me were the wings. Locally sourced and noticeably larger than your average bar wings, they were absolutely packed with flavor--easily some of the best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with the perfect amount of dry rub. Worth the visit for those alone. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with great food, good beer, and a neighborhood-pub kind of feel, this place delivers.

My favorite pizza in the world. Organic ingredients and great flavor, except for the chicken that is put on many of the pizzas. The chicken tends to be too dry and tasteless. My favorites are the K2 and the Meatball signature pies, but also fun to build your own with their many ingredients. read more

The service was excellent, we were greeted our table was wiped down despite it being clean. We changed our minds and decided to eat at the picnic table out front with the idea we would get the pie ourselves. Nope, they brought the pie, and our salad out to us with a roll of paper towels, and we're happy to do it. The salad! 5 stars! Fresh shredded lettuce tossed with groind pepperoni, green peppers, onions, banana pepper, and cheese. It was enough for 4 of us to eat from. The pizza! 4 stars. A thin,crisp crust where you could taste the fermentation. It had a nice balance of sauce and cheese. We ordered pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms. The pepperoni was Ezzo Sausage's Old World pep, the sausage was sliced and flavorful, the mushrooms were fresh, not from a can. All great! The sauce held the pizza back though. It was tangy, spicy, and well balanced. It was made from tomato paste, or maybe Contidina sauce.. I cant really say what the problem is. To summarize: Great service, Great salad, Above average pizza! Stop when you're in town.

Pizza Crossing -- what a hidden gem in Logan…read more Seat yourself atmosphere, and it did take our waitress a bit to come around, but multiple large parties walked in at the same time we did. Once she got to us, she was incredibly sweet and attentive despite being busy. Free refills, and she even offered drinks to go -- such a nice touch. We ordered a small pizza (around 10 inches), which was perfect for 2 adults sharing, and loved that you can do half-and-half toppings. We did half veggie and half "all the way" (their supreme). It's easy to see why this place has been voted one of the best pizzas in Ohio. The pizza is unique -- a thinner crust, but not quite NYC-style thin, topped with provolone cheese instead of the usual mozzarella. A lot of people rave about their pepperoni too: smaller, meatier, and clearly higher quality. Even the slices stand out -- cut into small rectangles instead of triangles. Absolutely delicious and we'll definitely be back next time we're in Logan.

We sampled the pepperoni pizza hoping it would be excellent. Sorry to disappoint the locals and staff. It was mediocre. The crust was very thin, the sauce wasn't anything to write home about, and there was way too much cheese on the pizza. No crust and I am not a fan of how they slice it. Give me a nice NY slice instead of cutting away the excessive cheese and either use a fork to eat or grease up your fingers. For some, they may enjoy the pound of mozzarella cheese on it and the little square piece, but this is not for me. As for flavor, nowhere a good pizza but not at the bottom, either. I say middle of the row for this pizza. Our party never fought to eat the leftovers, and that says something. If you're in the area and just need pizza, this could do but do go expecting great pizza.
