Be prepared to spend a pretty penny here. I didn't think my pasta was anything to write home about, I wouldn't even say it was al dente. It felt over cooked. I typically don't have high expectations with pasta, but for the price point, I would expect the pasta to be perfectly cooked at the very least. Their nicer entrees that don't center around pasta are likely a better bet.

Our server Dylan was excellent, and the rest of the staff kept our waters filled and dishes cleared. We tried the Vegetariano panini (fantastic) and the Lombardia pizza Bianca (also fantastic). Everything is clearly prepared with intention - the greens on top of the salad were perfectly dressed, and the veggies on the panini were chopped into small, uniform pieces so every bite was perfect. It was hard to decide what to order, so we will be back to work our way through the menu!

It was IMPOSSIBLE to talk to each other. It was so loud, we were basically yelling at each other, the waiter too. Our table was so tiny, it barely had room for our food. What if we had ordered more? Our waiter was super nice and very knowledgeable. However, when he was telling us about the pasta special, we both heard him talking about adding berries to it. But when it came it, we were confused what he was even talking about. The pizza was great BUT only when you eat it fresh. After it got to room temp/cold, all you could taste was the burnt crust. Unfortunately, now that it's off my list of place to try, I probably would not go back. Also, we had to wait 30mins which was fine but a party of 2 who came AFTER us, got seated before us.

I ordered the Philly steak sandwich, and it was basically meat with lettuce and tomatoes thrown on top--no sauce and barely any flavor. Even Subway makes a better sandwich. **Service:** The service was just as disappointing. We were literally the only customers in the restaurant, yet the servers were more focused on standing around and chatting with each other than checking on us. My water sat empty waiting for a refill, and our table was piled with used plates that no one bothered to clear. When you're the only table in the entire restaurant, there really isn't an excuse for inattentive service. Unfortunately, between the bland food and poor service, I would not come back or recommend this place.

I've had occasion to try Uptown Slice about five times now. Initially I wasn't so sure as I've…read morenever been a "New York slice" type of guy. However, the fact they do full pies and have stellar reviews meant I had to try them. I wasn't so sure after my first experience as again it's not necessarily the style of pizza I default too. That said it was good enough and very fresh and well prepared. So I gave it a few other tries and I'm now a big fan. For context, I only do cheese or cheese and sausage and will sometimes do extra cheese. Their cheese pie is excellent. I don't think extra cheese is necessary, but I've done it and it's also excellent. The sausage isn't the style that I normally prefer, the sliced sausage, but it too is very good. I tend to go cheese though because even when I ordered "light" sausage it had way too much on the pizza. That seems to be the norm these days though, but for me it overwhelms the rest of the ingredients. I'd rotate between the two, but not sure if I'll get light sausage when I order. Anyway, the pizza is fantastic. Sauce for me is what it makes it, but crest and cheese are spot on as well. I do love garlic bread, specifically cheese garlic bread, and have had both. This has seemingly changed recently, but anytime I've had it it's been good as well. Currently it's more of a traditional garlic bread delivery which is slightly better. They do have two locations which is nice. One is dine-in, but they do accommodate orders if to go if needed. The other is the Uptown Sline Depot which is a to-go location. Both are great and they deliver the same result. The dine-in was packed on a recent Saturday visit and the concept with some craft beers, etc is good. Two things if the owner is listening. Go lighter on the toppings if asked. Second though and more important please expand outside of Sheboygan. You'd kill it in West Bend with little competition which you'd easily best.

It's actually located in the back of a bar called Four of a Kind. I ordered the Traditional UP Pasty. It was pretty darn good. Crust was light and flakey while the middle was dense and tasty. Just the way I like them. Gravy is an extra buck, but well worth it. I ordered my pasty in the back of the restaurant (behind the pool tables!) through a little window into the kitchen. This area has limited choices for beverages so I went to the bar to order something else separately. Wasn't too impressed with the staff. Kind of felt like I was a stranger coming into a someone's local hangout (which I actually was!!). I just thought I'd get a "thanks" or at least a "have a nice day" as I walked past the employees as I left. Nice thing is that if you are with someone who might not want a pasty, the bar has a pretty nice bar food menu including soups. Pasty was very good, will give them another try and maybe I'll get my "have a nice day" then!

My dad ordered the beef Marsala pasta, which was a generous serving and he seemed to enjoy it. The rest of us ordered different pizzas - everyone liked their choice but there were a couple standouts. The walnut was a revelation, walnut puree, fontina cheese, whipped cream cheese, mushrooms, and roasted walnuts. It was unique and tasty. My truffle pizza was also excellent, with authentic flavor and not the overwhelming fake truffle notes you sometimes get. The sausage pizza was also good, according to my BF.

This year we decided to come to this location. We had a party of 4. The seating hostess showed our final guest to our table and we were ready to order. I started out with the pasta e fagoili soup. It was hot and flavorful as always. After soaking up the last drop with one of their amazing bread sticks, I ordered a plate of rigatoni with the new spicy 3 meat sauce. The pasta was cooked just past al denté, which is the way I like it. This sauce is a keeper. It is meaty, saucy, and spicy. Our waiter was always prompt when bringing out more bread sticks or pasta bowls. The thing I was disappointed about is that they had ran out of pumpkin cheesecake. This was 90 minutes after opening. How could this be? It's the reason for the 4 out of 5 stars.

The mozzarella sticks were okay. Kind of oddly sized; one was an inch and another was 3-4 inches. But tasted okay. The marinara sauce was pretty good. The pizza... *sigh* ... someone please get these guys a ticket to NYC to taste the real thing because it seems like they got a description from Google and just made it without a recipe. Hell, just go to Faye's; they have the closest I've seen in Sheboygan. As a New Yorker, it's outrageous. A real New York style pizza is juicy, with very flavorful sauce and lots of it, and gooey, oily cheese all over. It fills your mouth with euthoria and slides down your throat effortlessly. This, on the other hand, was the driest pizza I have ever encountered. I didn't even know it was possible to make pizza dry, but these guys did it! Congratulations! I had to have a cup of olive oil on the side to chase this pizza down just so it wouldn't activate my gag reflex. It was mostly dough, and dry dough at that; very little flavorless sauce, and an adequate amount of cheese. The cheese was not oily, as if it was a store-bought Tombstone pizza or something. OH! But wait! They sprinkled some italian herb seasoning on top! That's gonna make everything better, right? Both the guy on the phone and the delivery driver were nice and courteous.
