I went here with a few others on a warm July Friday night and it was poppin'! It was super busy,…read morealmost all the tables outside were full between here and the cocktail place next door --which I guess the outdoor patio area is a shared space? We had to go inside and ask where we were allowed to sit because there wasn't any signage that indicated a shared space vs. one building's/another's. This space is kid friendly and dog friendly so expect an overwhelming amount of both. They had overflow seating way in the back, somewhat in the woods in a tanbark area - which was basically empty but far away from the stage so it was hard to hear the music as you face the back of it. Yes, music! I actually specifically chose this spot on this evening because I wanted to hear some country music. I literally just googled and found the Tahoe live music page that shows which artists are playing when and where. The group did some classic covers. We sat facing the band but towards the back tables closer to the parking lot. It was loud enough to enjoy without the ear-piercing decibels when you sit right in front. Also, speaking to previous reviewers, this is Tahoe (not the Bay Area), so it definitely has a more casual vibe, and the type of place is in the name, you know? Anyways--so in terms of the ordering system, the way it works is you find a table FIRST, then someone from your party goes to get in line and order food inside. I believe there were multiple spots where you could also get your beer card if you weren't ordering food, but I'm not fully confident on that. The physical menus (up to date) have a QR code that links to an old menu (not up to date, from 2019 I think it was?), so watch out for that - because I tried to order a speciality pizza from what I saw on the QR online menu and that's no longer available. You can also find the updated version of the menu online - so maybe, AleWorx, if you read reviews, you can update the hyperlink. Waiting in line took about 20 minutes. They have menus available to look at while in line, so I wish people didn't wait until they're standing in front of a staff member to start pondering the menu. The beer card is a cool concept, I've seen it once before in another city. You put a credit card on file and get a blank key card for the tap wall. You have to place the keycard in the specific beer's card slot horizontally and leave it in there until you fill up your glass (found on the lefthand side of the taps). The idea is you can serve yourself however many ounces you want and you pay per--so you could try a taster of a whole bunch before figuring out what to get a glass of. On that night, they had mostly beers from their own brewery but also a few from other locations, including cider options, a hard seltzer, and sangria. After you order food, you get a number and tell the staff member where you are sitting so they can bring food out to you when it's ready. I think we waited about 15 minutes? Not sure, but it felt quick. All the staff members we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Pizza itself came out charred quite a bit around the crust (which was a bummer because I couldn't eat those parts and crust is my favorite) but overall had amazing flavor combinations. We had the Mora and the Supreme at our table and enjoyed both. It's definitely wetter in the middle depending on your toppings so I folded the bottom half of the slice upward to keep it all together. It was super filling so we ended up grabbing some boxes to-go with leftovers. We oven toasted the next day and it held up--still delicious! You have to go inside the building over by the tap wall area in order to checkout with your blank beer card. I wish you didn't have to go back in and close out. The other place I referenced has key card drop boxes with different tip amounts on it. It is definitely easier and more efficient but I guess maybe people like to see and confirm their final bill? I've never been to the other locations, so I cannot speak to them, but regardless, this one at the Y was a really nice evening!

If you have a big crowd, this place works (lots of tables, live music, lots of shareable foods),…read morebut I wasn't very impressed with the service and found the food expensive for the taste (tourist tax is definitely applied). I liked the beer cheese nachos and found this most 'worth it' for the price, given they are served with generous toppings. Cheese could have been spread around more since its more piled on top, but the chips were crispy and I loved the addition of black beans. A great shareable, or a large entree! For the pizzas, I tried the Mora (blackberry) and the Avventura. The prosciutto diparma were little salt bombs that overpowered the pizza in my opinion (I was expecting the thin slices of prosciutto tbh, they're kinda curled up and hard as they're baked in the oven and super salty), I could barely taste the blackberry (and a warm blackberry is kinda ehhh, I thought it would be more in the sauce). A cool concept, but I was definitely left disappointed with their execution.The Avventura was better, and I liked the red sauce in it. Crust/dough was mid overall. The beer wall is a cool concept, as it is pay by the ounce, but I wasn't the biggest fan of any I tried (the cider or strawberry sour, obviously I'm not a big beer fan haha). Also, the thing that soured my experience was the attitude of the cashier when we first ordered. I get it, it's summer and it's super busy, but he was very curt and had such an attitude, it kinda blew me away. After ordering, he informed us it would take 45 minutes for the food to come out, and "not any faster", as if we were going to argue (we weren't! we had a big party too and expected this!). I'm guessing he had some bad customers before us, but it is sooo unprofessional to act like that to more customers after. ALSO!! Our food came out in 20 minutes!! So it wasn't even that bad of a wait. I was baffled and his comments stuck around our party like a bad smell. Sooo yeah, don't recommend, there's other places that serve mid and expensive food around here to try instead without the bad service.

Like gimme one with pesto and another with tomato and pepperoni. The hubby likes a good standard pepperoni pizza, so I decided just to get a slice on the side and steal one of his. The food was already ready when I arrive for pick up. Since it's in a communal food hall, you can grab takeout utensils and napkins from the bussing stations. One thing to note, you should probably bring your own bag. I got everything separately in different containers, so stacked in my passenger seat in the car, I kinda held on to the items during turns, etc, to prevent them from falling over. I did ask and they do not have bags here. Okay, food wise, I thought the pizza was fine. The crust was breadier than I prefer, but the hubs likes his pies more substantial, so he enjoyed it. The kale salad was fibrous and tough, which was actually what I wanted. A lot to eat by itself, but I actually had green leaf lettuce at the house, so added that. The dressing was very lemony and leaked kinda all over. Luckily the box is paper so it was mostly soaked up. The wings were meaty and fulfilled craving. Convenient if I want pizza slices and it's by the house. REVIEW #4063

Cuisine variety is not the best compared to SF or SJ, but I do like trying new places. So after deciding on pizza, I suggested checking out Blue Dog. Ordering online was simple. I believe I just used their website. Getting a half and half was my way of trying two pizzas. I think the crust was thinner than the hubs prefers, but it was fine for me. I like a thinner crust. He's not as into pesto as I am, so he enjoyed the red side more. Like children, I liked them equally. Tho I do prefer my pizza cheesier. The salad was fine. Pretty standard. The box they put it in had holes in it so I kept finding pieces of cheese, lettuce, etc, everywhere. I think maybe they need to use a different container cuz I think it's meant for things that need to be vented like chicken wings? Price wise, $39 for a large pizza and a small salad sound about right. Not cheap, but not expensive. I do have a thing about charging for credit card processing. I wish they would just build it into the price like before when merchants were not allowed to charge a fee. Anyways, they do charge a 3% cc fee. Am I mad I came here? No. Will I be back? Not sure. Everything was middle of the road, so 3 stars. REVIEW #3963
