We walked into Houlme at 8:45 on a normal summer day. We had read some reviews about the great food and were expecting a lot out of Houlme. We ordered a pepperoni, and kale pizzas, summer things salad, houlme dog, and butter lettuce salad. Everything we ate was excellent. The houlme dog was very good and the kale and potatoes on it were unexpectedly unbelievable. The pizzas were great and the marinara sauce was unheard of. The crust was perfectly airy and doughy and was delicious. The salads tasted fresh and were perfect compliments to the meal. Overall the experience was astounding and this place is a must try read more

Houlme - Pepperoni pizza, kale pizza, summer things salad - Pizza Near Me - Eastsound, Washington

Good: - The Summer Things salad! So yummy - pizza Meh: - the other two salad dishes - carrot dish (it was good but be so fr, I wouldn't pay that much for 3 grilled carrots with yogurt) - Houlme dog (it just tastes like a regular Costco hotdog...with some seaweed on top...) Probably don't come here if you have a big party or are in a rush, since they won't let you order some of their meat dishes. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday w/o a reservation for 3. The hostess said they'd have an outdoor picnic table ready 30-40min and would text to alert when ready. Once seated, we had to ask the hostess for silverware. Started w the grilled asparagus ($25) - tasty sauce of garlic scapes, topped with pretty purple flowers that added no flavor. Good flavor, but for 6 stalks this was kinda insane. Scallop crudo ($30) was disappointing - scallop was minimal, very overwhelmed by the rhubarb. Would have expected the ratio to be balanced. Beautiful dish, no less, but this should have been called a rhubarb crudo to accurately reflect the dish. Again, insanely low volume of food. For pizzas, we got the poh-tay-toh ($28) and Gus Gus ($27 - asparagus, green garlic, tarragon, mozzarella, parm). These were more redeeming than the apps, tasty, but not ground shattering. Understandably the "ambiance" was expected since did not have reservations, but even then, the exterior was dusty and we did not feel the staff was present. Outdoor restroom was a step up from a hiking trailhead bathroom. The establishment inside is very nice so YMMV, but our experience was less than stellar. Overall, disappointed by the experience. Pizza was good, but extremely meager portions for the appetizers. It seems the focus of each dish was appearance rather flavor. read more

I was super excited to try Houlme - it's been nominated for a James Beard award multiple times! Here's everything we ordered (June 2025): - Salad of kale, garlic & fried sourdough - Grilled & braised leeks, caramelized hazelnut, rye & roe - Black cod roasted in the wood oven, pea shoots & green garlic - Carrots glazed in hot honey, smoked yogurt - Scallop crudo, plum/chili & strawberry - POH-TAY-TOH pizza - Blutos Bane Pizza Houlme uses local ingredients and everything tastes pretty fresh! The dishes were all pretty interesting - my favorites were the carrots and the poh-tay-toh pizza. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you're on the island! read more

Truly one of the best meals I've ever had. It was upscale without being snobby and it was service similar to being at your friend's house who's good at hosting. If you're on orcas it's a must visit. I definitely will be back if I'm ever on the island again but this meal was so good I'm debating making a special trip just to experience houlme again. read more

We came here for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! We walked in without a reservation and were seated at a table in the center of the cozy restaurant. The empty table next to us was pretty close but we didn't mind since the next diners who sat there were super friendly and we had a good conversation! We opted for the "KEVIN" pizza and the half fried chicken. Both were delicious. The pizza to me was a New York Style pizza, which is my favorite! The half fried chicken included a fried chicken thigh and a baked chicken breast, which came with a sauce and house made ranch along side pickled vegetables. Everything was cooked perfectly. I would come back when I'm in the area! Happy eating! read more

Food was very unique, but didn't quite hit the mark for me. Ambience was warm, cozy, and unpretentious. Service was outstanding! But the flavors were a let down, as we expected so much more from this place. We had the toast, chicken liver, and bbq onion dish to start off with. The toast was too hard and the chicken liver was too liquidy. Almost like melted peanut butter on warm, hard toast. The scallop crudo was served with a broth, which was poured table side, so we were expecting it to be spectacular....but it was bland; no flavor at all. We also had the scrappy dish. The celeriac that was served with the scallop took away the butteriness from the scallop, as it was too crunchy and crisp, offering no flavor at all. The black cod was meh, as well. It was such a small portion of cod, even small than the sunchokes. The cod was a tad over, slightly mushy. The sunchokes were bitter because it was burnt. As you can see in the picture, you can't even see the cod as the sunchokes were on top The pizza was the star of the dinner. Odd mix of food. read more

We had a wonderful dinner here. We walked in and it was a wait but we had time and weren't in a rush. That being said, I'd suggest reservations because it's a small space and they're a popular spot. We had pizzas: margarita and one with a gleeks and hot honey. Both were delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. The space is really cute and intimate. It's also one of the only places open past 7 or 8pm when we were there in September. read more

This is a tough one, because Houlme is likely the best restaurant on Orcas, but the food just missed the mark for me. Nice, bright, airy atmosphere, and the service was excellent. Menu is somewhat limited to 5 or 6 starters, and only 3 pizzas for mains. Our food was OK, but it just tried too hard to be different. When half the descriptions on a menu item need either a thesaurus or an explanation from the waiter, the chef is just trying too hard. We had the hay smoked tuna, which came wrapped in an oversized lettuce leaf, and a two line description. It was good, but nothing like I expected from the waiter's description. It was raw, which I love, but not as described on the menu. Then we had a salad with "garlic toast" which was nothing more than toasted bread crumbs browned just this side of being burnt. The salad wasn't tossed, so it was only after a few bites that we found the dressing drizzled on the bottom of the plate, hidden beneath the greens. The burnt crumbs overwhelmed the little dressing we could dig up, so the salad was not good. Finally, we also had the Poh Tah Toh Pizza, which was both dry and burnt. Wood fired pizza with a little charring is OK, but our crust was fully burnt about 2 inches in from the edge. I didn't care for the honey on my pizza, though my wife liked this twist. Wine by the glass is limited, but they do have an extensive bottle list, but only of foreign wine. We had a nice Chianti blend, but the dregs had a chunky sediment that ruined that last sip. Again, this may be the best food on the island, but the menu just missed the mark for this foodie. read more

wine: good quality wine options. got the Gemini Pollux Chardonnay and I was happy with my choice. kale salad: good for what it was. scallop and carrot skewers: good quality scallops. fresh and unique taste in the way it was prepared. fried whole chicken: uniquely flavored with fresh herbs on top and good fried crunch, but was slightly too salty. leek pizza: good crust and good flavor, but nothing to write home about. tomato and cheese pizza added pepperoni: they forgot about this order and took an extra 40 minutes to bring out. it was an average pizza. Houlme definitely has a specific vibe and it's not for everyone-- my family and I included. To be fair, we're from SoCal so we do get spoiled with amazing and diverse food and mixed company. If you decide to dine here, I recommend planning on sharing the food as everything comes out at different times; for us the salad took about 15 minutes, the scallops 20/25, the chicken about 40, the leek pizza about 50, and the pepperoni about an hour 30 minutes. By the time my sister's pepperoni pizza came out we had finished our meal and still had to wait for her food. read more

We didn't expect such high end food in this town. The service and the atmosphere were nice, but the vittles are worth the ferry ride. Our party loved the carrots on smoked yogurt especially. "The Kevin" pizza will be a treat for pizza purists, and the oyster mushroom dish and the kale-radicchio salad were super unique and flavorful. The food is made to order by a small staff, so don't be in a hurry. read more

Houlme - Mushroom dish - Pizza Near Me - Eastsound, Washington

Wish I was able to provide a higher rating as the food was really good, but given that the overall experience was sub-par, I'm hard pressed. We went in at 5pm when they opened and was asked to come back at 6:45pm. Understandable, as all the tables might have been reserved. Killed time around town and came back at 6:45pm. Got seated after a short wait and placed the order at about 6:50pm. Simple order of 1 salad and 3 pizzas. Then the wait started and went on till about 7:50pm. The wait staff was courteous but never once came by to let us know status of the food. Looking at the open kitchen, I can see the problem. There was only 1 cook, 1 greeter and 1 waiter running the whole restaurant. Basically, the management of the restaurant decided to cost costs and limited staff. While it is a reasonable strategy in off season, it's terrible deal for the customers whose experience is awful. The couple next table looked pretty dreary eyed in hunger as well. It would have been more efficient to have 2 cooks and 1 wait staff (wait. .does that make it too many cooks in the kitchen? ;)). Once ther pizzas came, we were delighted with the taste. Amazing ingredients with a perfect crust (or, were we too hungry by then to judge effectively? ;)). I may give it another shot if and when I am back there again. Adios. read more

Food, service and ambiance are all five stars! Impeccable! (Yelp is making me fill this in. Yelp is stupid. This restaurant is not!)

We LOVED this place. Excellent atmosphere both Inside and out. As it was a gorgeous, nearly fall day, we chose to sit outside. Our service was warm, welcoming and just fun. We ordered an eggplant dish and a salad to start. Oh my gosh, the vegetables were so fresh you could taste it! (Garden fresh) We shared a pizza. While the toppings were nice, it was the sourdough crust that we loved. Worth going! Don't miss it. read more

Yummy! So glad we chose to eat here on our too short trip to Orcas. There were other spots that looked good, but we liked the idea of small share plates of salads and veggies plus pizza. We were not disappointed! We shared the salad which was a heaping pile of fresh greens and the grilled carrots over yogurt. Both were great. Salad would have been better with something crunchy on top like nuts, seeds, or breadcrumbs but still good. We ordered two pizzas since my husband didn't want to share one and he ate 7 slices! He had the cheese pizza and I had the potato, peppers, kale pesto one. I loved mine especially with the hot honey on top. Mmm that stuff was good! The crust was chewy and perfectly cooked. Service was fabulous. Loved the decor inside and the locally made cider topped it off. We will be back for sure! read more

Good luck trying to assure a seat if you're a party of one. Can't do it on the website. No phone, they don't respond to emails - I sent one two days ago asking how to get a sure table for one. Showed up at 5:30 tonight - several spaces at the "first come" bar open...but they're "reserved" for people who stopped in last night and asked. I went by twice today to see if I could speak with someone - nobody answered the door. Wish I could rate the food but I'll need to be coupled up before I can secure a reservation - or show up the night before and ask ... or whatever. read more

Half way through our meal we tried to reserve the next night....a hit on every level. C u next year

On a recent trip to Orcas Island we were delighted to find this lovely restaurant, atmosphhere was so comfotable, clean and nicely decorated. It was a kick with the locals and the friendly Island community. The chef Jay was extrordinary to watch prepairing our food and the presentation elegant, with a professional yet fun server. Definitely recommend this gem of a place!! read more

Wonderful ambiance in the midst of Eastsound. Well crafted and cared menu, prepared from local island and immediate provisioners. Shines with a prix fixe menu considering the depth of the wine pairings - though seasonal items and staples delight. Much of Orcas Islands staff is seasonal, but the crew at Houlme seem knowledgeable and familiar with the vision and palette of their chef. Made accommodation for vegetarian guests without sacrifice of taste nor a diminishment of value. read more

Probably the best meal I have enjoyed in a restaurant in the last five years. I am not a big cooked carrot fan, but the carrots with smoked yogurt dish was too intriguing to pass up. Truly one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Pizza crust was perfect. We had a pizza on the first visit, but we went back two days later and got the potato/leek pizza to go because we got a different pie the first time. Just fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful read more

Everything is beautiful. Unique but not esoteric. The food and hospitality is so so special. Don't miss it.

5 star food in a mash-up of service, space, and noise. It's a small space where you are seated very close to other tables. Acoustics and proxemics force a loud boisterous space - so don't take your hard-of-hearing loved one if you want an ambiance that includes them hearing you. Prices are high ($46 for the "half chicken" which is really two pieces of breast meat and a leg, no thigh, just part of a breast, but I digress) but my god, it's so worth it. We 5 ordered all of the small plates, including the scallop crudo, the kale w sourdough crumble, the soft boiled egg w greens, the carmelized leeks w pepper pure, the carrots 4 ways. All delicious, but the egg and the leeks were extra delicious. We ordered mains of the halibut, chicken half, potato pizza, and more. The halibut was oven roasted, but under seasoned and overcooked a tiny bit, giving a dry texture that lost some of that delicate flavor. The potato pizza was a crowd pleaser, but we all agreed that chicken was the best we'd ever had - or dreamed of. How a chicken breast can be that tender and flavorful I'll never know, but that dish deserves an entry as one of the finest things you can have for dinner on this island. Service is friendly, knowledgeable, a little slow, and unfortunately far too slow when it comes to greeting us. I do expect to place a drink order and be greeted in the first few minutes of being seated, but like many other places, the water server comes and goes long before your server is ready to start your table. Overall, great place with plenty of easy parking, pleasant service, and the highlight - excellent, original, creative food worth coming back for as often as your budget allows. read more

Pizza was so delicious! Fresh ingredients and house made sausage on wood fired crust. Limited menu, nice outdoor patio

Absolutely epic experience. And honestly it's hard for me to describe the exquisite balance of flavors going into every single one of the Houlme dishes we tried. Carrots caramelized with hot honey, spiced beets with pickled umami reduction, smokey yoghurts and zabaglione squash - it recalls old Charlie Trotter days. I'm no foodie not at all but the extreme precision of Houlme's flavors and total humility and sweetness of the staff - many such places of great cooking think they have to be equally picky ( snobby!) about dress code or reservations and I'm so over it - well it was all just such a lovely evening!! I live in Cali ( don't hate me!) but my brother and I were so warmly greeted. I wish them the best of everything and even if I can't get a reservation in the future I know they deserve it ! read more

Food is remarkable, chef Jay is excellent. Service is island style, but very friendly. Wine list is a work in progress as of this review, but the selection I had was sublime. In general, expect the unexpected. Ambiance is chill, neighborhood place, but the food is next level good. Wear your hat and shorts, but expect 4/5 star culinary execution. Reservations recommended. Small five seat bar for walk ups. Lots of outside seating. Pizza takeaway also an option. read more

Simply spectacular. The attention to detail, creativity, and quality in every aspect of the restaurant makes this an incredible find. My parents have been coming here several times over the past few months and have raved about it but this was my first time visiting. It was a warm summer night, and all the seating was outside, at picnic tables arranges around a terraced back yard. A highlight of the menu is their focus on natural wines and vegetable forward cuisine, so we were very excited to see what new dishes and drinks they had in the summer. We were interested in some wines from the Canary Islands, but disappointingly our waiter said he'd never tried them and couldn't offer any advice. We stared at him with a sort of "could you get someone who could" expression and he said, "Oh that would require me to bother my manager or the chef and they're very busy." We told him it would be great if he could get the manager to come over. Well Jocelyn came over and she was so lovely and so helpful, setting us up some Envínate wine made from Tinta Amarela. It was delicious and had a dark smoky flavor like the volcanic soil it was grown from. With Jocelyn's suggestions, we ordered their creative little gem lettuce bites, which came as fun finger food sections of lettuce head dusted with crushed hazelnut, crushed grilled potato with cheddar sauce which was savory and tasty, clams with fava shoots and radishes with "cream from last year's chilies". Everything was pretty small portions but really good. Then we moved on to pizza, and we had the Allium mushroom and cow cheese (with house raised pork add on) and the fresh and smoked cow and goat cheese pizza. Both were really rich and delicious and we especially enjoyed the combination of the mushroom and pork. With dessert we got a dry cider from vermont and then had a grilled milk ice cream with berries and hazelnut and rhubarb with conifer shoots ice. Both were good although the conifer shoot ice was a little weird (full disclosure I don't like flavored ice in general). Overall it was a really special, wonderful meal. Definitely pricy, good for a celebration, but you can also just come in and grab a pizza (even to go!) which is something I'll definitely keep in mind in the future. read more

Extremely pretentious waitress - My dining partner and I immediately were uncomfortable and felt judged. Asked for salt and pepper - she banged the salt down and said "no pepper - it's not locally sourced" well- your rhubarb marinated in tomato water on smoked yogurt was so bitter it needed salt. Raw rhubarb is nasty. Now we know. We wouldn't dare have sent it back. Well, the pen you gave me to pay the tab was a bic pen- pretty sure that was made by a kid in a sweat shop- Lose the better than thou attitude read more

Great salad, pizza, drinks AND service. Definitely a must if you are on Orcus Island.

Tiny dining room, so be sure to make a reservation. We went on shoulder season, so most restaurants are only opened on Thurs thru Sun. Small menu, but everything is very well prepared. We had the kale salad which was dressed just right and corn with padron pepper pizza. Dessert was house made buttermilk ice cream with corn husk sprinkles. You can tell the chef really cared about the quality of the food that's being served. Plenty of options for vegetarians. Service was great. read more

I want to set the stage and set expectations first, because I'm about to tell you that this was my favorite meal of 2019, and quite possibly my favorite meal of the least several years. And you're going to expect sparklers and firecrackers and confetti--but just stick with me as I set the expectation before telling you about an incredible meal I had here last December. Hogstone's is a small, cozy, intimate little restaurant on Orcas Island. The island has a rich agricultural heritage, and though it's not an agricultural powerhouse, there are some innovative people doing back-to-the-earth things here. So it's the perfect kind of small place for food from the land and food on the plate to meet together in harmony. It's a place where creative farmers and creative chefs could marry their two passions and come up with some exquisite experiences. Orcas Island is also an island, after all, and you can always expect to pay more for things here--groceries, gas, hardware--it all comes at a premium. Now, if you combine very detailed culinary work with highly creative chefs and experimental techniques, with an already elevated cost of living, you're not going to get a cheap meal. Hogstone's is not a stuff-your-face pizza joint. It's not an all you can eat buffet. It's not a value by the pound restaurant. Those businesses have their place (who doesn't love a pizza spot with cheese dripping from each slice and crusts for days?) but don't come here expecting that. No, this is a place where the ancient spirits of farmers past whisper their secrets to an inspired chef who dreams about maritime tradition, wild oyster beds, and sings the songs of ancient peoples who first inhabited this land and ate of its bounty. It's where that music still rings out today, blending into harmonies of sea and garden, line and land, net and nest. These melodies are short, sweet, and unforgettable. Those melodies are rare, and hard to produce, so don't expect bowls brimming with massive amounts of food. Oh, you can get full if you order that way, but this is more about coming to taste and experience. We embraced this philosophy and let our taste buds take part in the centuries-old song of dinner. Leeks and brussels sprouts were the first to hit the table, and it was a savory dish with just enough fat to complement the earthy flavors of both of those veggies. The came the treviso--the sauce was acidic and bright, and even though this radicchio variety is said to be more mild, it was still bitter and given a long roast on the grill. In the end, the bitterness won out, but the flavors all together were fulfilling if you're into that bitterness. The second-most surprise hit of the night was the potato, pickled shallot, shaved cured egg pizza. I say the second-most, because I do love a good pizza and this combination sounded good, but it came off even better in our hands. Pickled shallots added a brightness and acidity, potatoes left a savory and fulfilling texture, and the shaved egg added just a hint of salt and fat I haven't experienced before in my life. The real star of the show was the half pheasant. A little sweet, a little sticky, and the thing that I will think about most is actually the cabbage dish that accompanied it. I have no idea what it had with it, but it was hypnotic. We had the pleasure to sit at the "bar" area that faces the kitchen and watch Jay work. Here's a guy who seems super humble, despite the massive accolades and national recognition, and who, on a whim, decided to plate our meal right in front of us and talk about the components. He didn't have to. He didn't even have to be there at all--some successful chefs leave it to staff on the daily--but he truly delighted in composing the plate and talking to us about it. Some moments you wish could last forever. This night, just a few before the new year, we chatted with staff about their passion, their upcoming ventures (hooray for a permanent space for the tasting menu nights) and we reveled in the good food and cozy atmosphere. Glasses clinked. Guests drank and laughed. The kitchen buzzed. And there we were, just held in suspension, somewhere in the song between the ancient worlds of old sailors and new crop. read more

Had a delicious dinner here in August while visiting friends in Eastsound. The service was impeccable--courteous, informative and fun--and the food was even better. While pizza may not sound elegant in principle, here it is to vehicle for great flavors and technique. Don't forget the starters which is where the chef's talent also shines. read more

A must if you are in Orcas! This little spot is unassuming, but you will not be disappointed. The ambiance is cozy, warm and inviting. A great soundtrack of 80s-90s indie rock music in the background. It feels a little like you're in someone's living room and they are just around the corner finishing up dinner. What I loved about this spot was that they use all local, seasonal, fresh ingredients. So no, you won't get large pizza for $9.99! The portions are smaller than the dive bar down the street, but you are paying for the quality and the sustainable and environmentally friendly way they run this restaurant. Go in knowing you will spend a little more than a typical pizza joint. You know you're money is going toward local farmers and producers. You can feel good about supporting that! We got the raw oysters first- they were so pretty and delicate, served on a bed of cold beach rocks. Then we had two pizzas, one unusual tomatillo pizza and one simple red sauce and goat cheese. The tomatillo pizza was excellent, tangy, and full of flavor with cilantro. The simple pizza was a nice contrast and was perfectly seasoned with herbs. Both were made with the best crust I've ever had, stretchy homemade sourdough baked in a wood fire oven. I hardly ever get dessert, as I usually just want another glass of wine or something salty, but we had to indulge here. The options all sounded delicious so we went with the hazelnut ice cream with pumpkin. It was light and savory, perfect for after this meal. The service was great too, everyone was so kind. I can't wait to go back! read more

We have been here over a few years. As others have noted things here seem to be going down hill. The backyard has broken tables everywhere. No dogs allowed. No take out. Two pizza options. 1 hour ten min to pizzas. Pizza was good. Lots of pre-dinner apps that mostly don't hit the mark. Summer squash was watery/tiny. Hybrid serve yourself model with 20% gratuity added mandatory above 5 party. Just honestly not a great option anymore. Used to feel much "homier" read more

I haven't written a Yelp review in ages, but the pizza at Hogstone is so incredible that I decided I need to break my silence. During a rainy New Years stay on Orcas Island, we decided to treat ourself to a higher end takeout meal. I ordered the tomato and herb pie (vegan) while he ordered the pork sausage pie with mozzarella and pickled shallots. Both were out of this world. Both my partner and I don't understand how Hogstone can combine tomatoes + olive oil + bread and make something THAT insanely tasty. Yeah, it's pricey, but we think it's absolutely worth it. The pies hold up surprisingly well in the pandemic-enduced takeout setting. The pints of ice cream are also fascinatingly delicious, not too sweet, and easy to enjoy at home. We can't wait to go back! read more

Food was great! But service was terrible! Jen our server was so RUDE. We ended up packing our pizza and eating it at home.

Time for a review update! Yes I'm still giving Hogstone 4 stars, but the circumstances were quite different this visit (aka Covid). Hogstone was just doing pickup, so we called in ahead of time (a little after 5?) on a Sunday to place our order. We were given a time to gather the goods (6:15ish) then patiently waited while sipping some wine out on our deck. No complaints. Our three pizzas and three appetizers were ready a few minutes after the designated pickup time, then we drove the short distance back to our vacation home. Needless to say I was excited for some gourmet cheesy carbs. For pizzas, we went with the "Tomato" ($14) which my mostly vegan sister ordered. The 12" diameter pie was topped with tomato sauce, slivers of onion and garlic, plus fresh herbs, of course. I did not try this option, although my sister seemed to enjoy it enough and was happy a vegan pizza was on the actual menu. I went with the "Quickly Pickled Summer Squash" ($24) topped with Hay smoked goat cheese and scallions. I'm not a huge fan of smoked food items in general, although the smokey flavor wasn't toooo overpowering. The squash pizza needed something else to balance out the flavors (to suit my taste), so I came up with a quick solution--more on that later. My mom chose the "Roasted Stupice Tomato" ($26) topped with fresh sweet corn, pickled fennel, mozzarella and aged ladysmith... which I believe is a type of cheese. This pizza was the best out of the two I tried. The flavors were well balanced and it was simply good. These pizzas are best consumed right away, when fresh and hot, so keep that in mind when ordering. Because there were four of us splitting dinner, we also decided to order three appetizers. We chose to get two orders of the "Smashed, Chilled & Marinated Cucumbers" ($13) served with hazelnut "condiment" and grilled berry sauce. Okay damn this was tasty. It was fresh, crunchy, creamy, nutty, sweet, and savory all in one tiny to-go container. Yes the serving size is SMALL so thankfully we ordered two. It is definitely a bit pricey for the amount of food you get, so if you're on a budget just stick to ordering pizza. We also went with a mushroom appetizer, also delightful. The sauce on the mushrooms was luscious so don't let any of that go to waste... I was dipping pizza crusts right up in there and also spooned some of the mushrooms on top of the squash pizza, highly recommend that combo. Is this the best pizza I've had? No but it's good and I always appreciate the usage of local, seasonal ingredients. The bill can get a bit pricey if you go for other menu items, as tasty as they are. read more
