The pizza skins were basically mashed potatoes on a pizza. They had very little scallions, cheese, or bacon on them.. My friends ordered a couple half and half pizzas. They weren't very good, so there was plenty leftover for me to try. The Italian didn't have any red sauce - which I know is the intent - but the aioli was a sparse drizzle on top, and it was much too sweet. This led to the pie being mostly greasy meat and a bit of cheese on bread, with some overly sweet aioli on top. The beer selection was good. With all the unique food in Lexington - I would not return.

They didn't have a big variety on their menu but they only had 1 person working. I went with the pepperoni slice with a breadstick. I was surprised how cheap it was. My total only came out to be $6.00. The food was goo. The crust was thick and there were a lot of pepperonis on it. It was disappointed in the lack of cheese on the pizza. It was practically nonexistent. There was some sprinkled parmesan and that's about it. Luckily there were a lot of seasonings on the pizza so it wasn't a deal breaker. Overall my friend and I enjoyed the food and will be happy to try Rise Up again

The specialty pizzas are inventive - a couple of particularly interesting combinations. The staff is friendly - ready with a quick greeting when you arrive and open to making suggestions. A slice, side salad, and a drink cost around $12 and all were above standard fare. They also offer trivia night and some other events. Definitely check it out!

They also have traditional pizzas, so flavors like pepperoni and cheese. The space is small and parking on Jefferson is always kind of hit or miss, so I definitely recommend getting your order to go.

Started with an old-fashioned and an unsweet tea. Drink was good overall. We shared a Caesar salad to start. Half of the lettuce pieces were brown. Lettuce was yellowed more than green. Meh.

Meatballs were good, sausage was good. For dessert I ordered the chocolate mousse which was okay.
