    Detroit style pizza is the best kind of pizza, if you disagree then you're tacky and I hate you. We tried the pepperoni za and it was fabulous. We added some spicy honey glaze which was *chefs kiss* and definitely had some heat to it. The menu was a bit small but I love pepperoni pizza with hot honey so it's fine with me.

    Wow - this pizza was AMAZING! The fresh burrata, spicy sauce and pepperoni were an unexpected combination, but it was oh, so good! Super crispy crust and very, very fresh. Perfect addition to drinks at Old North! Can't wait to visit again.

    This pizza place apparently started as a food truck and has gone brick and mortar. And indeed, Greyline station is full of exposed brick, and the little sliver of space they've chosen to occupy has nothing more than a kitchen and a register. You eat outside, and they send you a text when it's ready. They do a sourdough crust in an oblong shape, with pretty limited choices. The veggie special they had when I stopped by, with peppers, mushrooms, and a dash of diced red onion was perfect for me. The mushrooms were quality, and the toppings in balance, and the cheese tasted like maybe some provolone was mixed in there. They offered me a taste of an experimental lemon mint eggplant pizza, which was overly salted and not as good. The base of the pizza is a just slightly sour dough with a bit of delicious charring. It's a pricey pizza with limited choices and quality ingredients. I haven't yet found a go-to Lexington pizza, but I was happy with this one.

    Doesn't look like much when you past by, but Rise Up Pizza is definitely a great go-to spot for a sizeable lunch during the workweek. I took advantage of their lunch time special and had the two topping pizza with pepperoni and banana peppers. My coworkers were super jealous of my food and one of them even went to Rise Up after I had brought my meal back to my desk haha. The pizza was fabulous! I really enjoyed their thin crust and the banana peppers were sensational. I wasn't huge fan of the dough they used for their garlic knots, I prefer garlic knots that are more mushy and softer, but they were still pretty decent if you're looking for a healthier version for garlic knots. Lauren who worked the counter that day, was really nice and friendly, and made a first time experience very enjoyable. I definitely do want to check out more of their menu in the future!

    The lunch special here is EPIC. Only $12 for a 2 topping pizza made to order! I love the vibes of this place, nice place to come when you are on a lunch break. Service is fast! I usually order and have my pizza in less than 10 minutes.

    Pizza was fab, honey habanero glaze worked for me despite being in spice training garlic knots were yummy too. Food comes out quick! Easy and delicious. It's nice to support a small business instead of a chain too.

    So came here as a last minute thing since the place I really wanted to go to was closed. So me and my friend came to check out the new building that just got renovated. It's cool this place is inside a mixed used place for other shops and dinning to check out while you wait for your food to get done. So they have a counter for a few people to sit and eat and a common area you can also eat for all the restaurants. But back to the food. The pizza was spot on! I wasn't expecting the pizza to remind me so much of home. (I'm from New York.) The crispiness of the crust to the toppings being the right crispiness was just phenomenal. The cheese and sauce was just right also. I ate the whole thing in one sitting and regret nothing. The garlic knots were on point also. This place was so amazing I wish we had one here in Michigan. Next time I'm in Kentucky I'll for sure be checking out this place again.

    This was the best pizza I've had in Lexington! So so good. We had the Margherita, the garlic and spinach, and the meat special. It was a brisket, brussel sprout, and red onion. It sounds weird but trust this guys specials, he knows what he's doing. It was amazing.

    Idk how to describe this pizza other than it taste like eating burnt thin bread with no flavor or sauce. I have ate at every pizza location within Lexington KY, and this is by far the worst yet. Top 5 would be Goodfellas, Pies&Pints, PieTana pizza, Addies Stone fired, Brick oven.

    Had the Roberta's Bee Sting, Little bit of bite @ end with some habanero but not to hot. Had very good flavor. Guy is s one man gang in his food truck. His pizza are very good. My wife had the Margarita pizza. Everything was good & he brought it straight to you. Had my 2nd Visit last night @ Maiden city. He wasn't prepared the crowd they had last night. We got our food, But by 7:15 he was out of almost everything. I know running food truck is tuff, But you have to be prepared. There pizza is great....

    Garlic knots

    I needed a bite to eat while I was playing trivia and decided to try the garlic knots. They were fantastic and the service was quick and friendly. I cannot wait to go back and try more menu items. Yea

    The owner is a big time douche bag. Super rude to his guests but thinks he's being funny. Sub par pizza that's over priced for its size.

The interior is wood leather steel and brick with an open floor layout and a gorgeous bar. Upstairs is pool and a rooftop outdoor bar with the most incredible of views. The bathrooms are stylish and clean with lighting worthy of a photo shoot. The silver bullet shoot my Mr. Goodfella himself is the pizza. Oh the pizza is incredible and to try and describe it in more detail is a Sisyphean task that to even attempt to complete would drive any mortal mad. To complement the food and rich atmosphere is the over employees. There were 6 making the pizza and taking orders with 3 working the bar and a few dispersed clean up and delivery pizza. I had stellar service all night and even through this was my first time here felt as if I was a regular and was friends with the staff.
