    Kale and pepperoni pizza
    Vanni T.

    After a long day of unpacking, the last thing I wanted to do was cook, so we decided to order pizza. Found Side Project online and we selected the Monday, $40 two 2-topping pizza and 4 pack of beer, special. The chicken tenders were the best I've ever had! So juicy and flavorful, and the buffalo sauce I selected as the dip was actually spicy! I also loved that they had a drive thru, which made pick up super easy. Everything was a bit too salty, however, resulting in the negative star. Hopefully it was a one off and things won't be so salty the next time we visit.

    Yummy! We just moved to the neighborhood and were looking for a new pizza place. We ordered a pie for dinner, and it was pretty great! The crust had good flavor and a nice chew, and was (for me, anyway) the star of the show. The toppings and sauce were tasty as well. It was super convenient to pick up in the drive thru, and service was really friendly. We'll definitely be back. ;)

    Great craft beer

    First time here and we were impressed. We loved the pizza! The crust was just perfect, thicker on the outside but nice and crispy on the inside. They have a really nice patio that you can sit on to have your pizza and a craft beer and it is dog friendly. They also have a drive-through if you don't even wanna get out of your car and pick up your pizza. Lots of good beers that they make themselves to choose from. We will definitely be back!

    Side Project pizza has very good pizza on their patio in Maplewood directly across from their main brewery and shop that is my favorite brewery in St. Louis. The pizza we had including the SPB (side project brewing - sausage, Parmesan and bacon) I ordered and the side project Hawaiian pizza and both had excellent quality toppings but we thought both pizzas were a little bready along the edges and discarded some of the crusty ends although both pizzas tasted great especially in their centers. Neapolitan style pizzas are my favorite style of pizza and this was a similar style pie and features a sourdough crust that's really good.. For appetizers we shared a spinach salad with a great dressing and wings with habanero sauce and the wings brought some heat and I loved those. Service is friendly and you order at the window and then give them a table number and they'll bring the pizza out to you if you decide to dine in on the patio and was a great night to eat outside the night I was there but they'll heat it if it's too cool and provide a/c if it's too hot apparently.

    Side project, known for their award winning craft beers recently opened a pizza restaurant (formerly known as Pizza Champ). I recently visited on 3.14 day to take advantage of their deals and had a great time. You can either order at the window or using a QR cold on the table, and then a server brings the food to you. I ordered their pizza beer, half and half taco/buffalo chicken pizza, and chili garlic wings. Overall the food was good and atmosphere was decent. All the staff were very nice and I look forward to coming back again when the weather is warm!

    Side Project Pizza is my new favorite pizza spot From the sourdough crust crafted with an 11-year-old yeast strain to delicious snacks food like flavorful wings and fresh salads, there is something for everyone. The Pepperoni Pizza is definitely one of my top in STL! The mini cups get super crispy and the red sauce is so good! The staff was super friendly and the patio is perfect for the nicer weather ahead!

    If you thought their beer was delicious, stop by for the pizza. This is a no miss and Katie is a delightful hostess!!

    Buffalo Chicken Pizza
    Michelle L.

    So I feel like Side Project Pizza is pretty much the same product as Pizza Champ other than the pizzas have gone from 18" to 14". Nice flavorful (fermentation) crisp crust and quality toppings. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza (no celery) and I liked it. The chicken is pretty good and the blue cheese crumbles were generous. I thought the pieces of chicken were too large and could be better distributed on the pizza. Otherwise this is a great non St. Louis style pizza option. I'll be back!

    Forget IMO's. Come here for pizza instead! They're thin crust pizzas but like way better than your classic thin crust pizzas. Seating is a covered outdoors area so I recommend coming to dine in when the weather is nice. We got served pretty quickly and they have some cool drinks on the menu. Very easy to order and to enjoy.

    Sausage and black olives was delicious

    ++++ food ++++ family atmosphere…read more The food here is delicious! I ended up getting the LW burger with pub cheese and it came with shoe string fries, the burger was thick and juicy, while the shoe string fries with garlic aioli as my sauce was, perfect! This is a pretty good family atmosphere, they have high top tables but also had high top high chairs! A real positive in our book, haven't ran into many restaurants that have this option. I would suggest if you have little ones to order your food when they take your drinks because the service can be hit or miss depending on the time you go, and food can take a little longer than expected. So get the little ones ordered in first and then decide on the adults.

I only saw two high top tables for two people and they were in corners. So we sat in a corner on backless stools. Stools in restaurants should have backs!Pretty uncomfortable and we won't do that again. It also has really high ceilings so it got pretty loud in there. Our server was Erin and she was good! The place was packed inside and outside (in the rain - there were umbrellas over the tables) so the staff was super busy. She kept the drinks and food coming at a good pace. We started off with drinks and onion rings. We had been told how good the onion rings were so we had to order them - they lived up to the hype! I'm not a beer drinker, but my husband is. He had three different ones and didn't really enjoy any of them. He tried Tidewater Plains, Master of the Universe, and Batholith. I had a Jungleberg cocktail and liked it so much, I ordered another one. The server said they were out of them. There were five ingredients in the drink so I have no idea what they were out of. I ordered a Spicy Ancho Margarita and it was okay. It shouldn't be called spicy, because it is not. I ordered Chicken Wings and Onion Soup. Yes, it was summer. But it was cold and rainy and soup sounded good! The soup was very good - very cheesy and they didn't put a chunk of bread in there to get all soggy, which I appreciated. The wings were okay. They were way too saucy for me. My husband got the Philly and said it was okay, but nothing special. I would have probably given 3.5 stars, but that is not an option. I'd go back for the onion rings!

Lively atmosphere, bartenders were welcoming and interactive. We ordered the Hot Cheese curds as an appetizer, and I got the Obscura as me beer of choice.

The beer was great, especially with the hot cheese curds. Ordered the Friday Fish Sando with no cheese. Came out in a timely manner, large and crispy! It was messy in the best way. Crispy, beer battered cod, lettuce, and house made tarter. It was juicy on the inside with none of the batter mush you can sometimes get with fried fish, loved the house made tarter, all-around great sandwich. The fries were on point, too.

Rockwell Beer Company earns the association honestly. I walk in wary (I don't drink beer, don't like it, and an industrial brewery hugging a busy four-lane street is not my native habitat), I get the sense I need to eat in the corner so people don't discover the non-beer drinker; however, I walked out humming. The reason is the food, sourced through Street Food by Brasas. This is not brewery food that apologizes for itself. Pretzels, wings, both worth ordering again. The pizzas (barbecue, pepperoni) land in that rare category of elevated bar snack. I'd happily return for a table's worth. It's order at the window food service, which is fine for their vibe, but it keeps the environment to a self-service lower warmth environment. We sat outside, which is nice IF you can find some shade on a hot summer evening. 3.9 out of 5 stars The atmosphere isn't built for me, but the kitchen is good enough that I'd get over it to spend an evening with my beer-drinking friends.

I enjoyed that quiet space for a bit and the afternoon air after the walk from Cortex made the wait feel intentional rather than inconvenient. Comfortable seating out here and the light breeze with the afternoon light was nice as I cranked out a few Yelp reviews before I spotted other customers going inside. After setting up at the huge table in the corner, I stepped up to the bar where I was warmly greeted. I chose their Fish Fry, which they call a light lager. It was in a huge mug and that worked out just fine for me as it lasted a while. Oh, and some chicken wings. These were tasty buggers. Served quite hot with a rub that was more spice than sauce. Very yummy and the two sauces were perfect accompaniment. Absolutely delicious. Not long after, friends arrived and I shifted from solo laptop time to conversation. It's nice to see how Rockwell handles the flow of customers. Casual, attentive, friendly. Just right for a great brewpub and a great time. They do have a parking lot. It was just an easy experience today and a great spot for a meetup or hanging out on your own. [Round number review 400 of 2026 - 498 in Missouri - 25583 overall]

    St. Louis is lousy with these microbreweries--this part of town in particular, to the point where,…read moreas I ran the streets of the surrounding area, I was violently assaulted with what must be the smell of beer as it's being brewed. It's not altogether different from the smell of beer as it's coming back up, and it called to mind my illustrious, mostly-forgotten-at-this-point college years. I was suddenly compelled to listen to Cannibal Ox and watch certain videos that I'd pilfered from Kazaa, and it's probably for the best that I didn't have access to a circa 1998 Compaq Presario in that moment. The vibe in Bluewood Brewing is a lot classier. There's no "Iron Galaxy" over the PA. The lights are dimmed, which I imagine would be convenient if there was someone there you owed money to. I was particularly impressed with a long table on the patio. I remarked to a member of my running group that it almost certainly didn't come from IKEA. The wood was of too high a quality. The food menu is limited to a small selection of standard sports-bar fare, but this is not anywhere you'd go to watch the game. They might not have any TVs. Did they spend too much on the table? Also, they don't sell any beer in cans, that I'm aware of, which I generally prefer as someone who, as the evening progresses, is prone to dropping things. I went with something called Crush, which is an orange-flavored high-gravity IPA. It was the highest ABV selection on their regular beer menu, but it also costs a little bit more, so you're not really getting over on them--unless you thought to "pregame." I found it to be both less "stiff" than I was expecting and less orange-tasting, in a good way but also in a bad way, in that anything that fails to conform to expectation is at least somewhat disappointing. I was expecting paint thinner and orange juice. I got something that was balanced and flavorful. From the food menu, I got the daily special, which was a sort of elevated patty melt called the Stable Melt. It came with two all-beef patties, Swiss, caramelized onions and "Frisco" sauce on Union Loafers marbled rye, with your choice of chips or fries. It was $18, and as I was standing there a guy came out and changed the price to $19, presumably due to developments in the war with Iran. I was assured that I'd be "grandfathered in" at $18, but I'm not sure if he told the guy at the register and I didn't bother to check. It wasn't necessarily my kind of thing, but it was a great burger. The name-brand bread alone nearly justified the price increase. The meat was generously proportioned (no Diddy), but it didn't quite extend to the edges of the bread. Perhaps if it were one larger patty? The onions gave it a sophisticated Salisbury steak vibe, wholly superior to Hungry Man. The fries called to mind the fries at Wendy's. If only they offered a Frosty to dip them in. It wouldn't necessarily go with their beer. I'd suggest they put bourbon or something in it, but I shudder to think what they might charge.

I came with my parents and husband and we all agreed it was a great idea and a very comfortable space, perfect for what was needed. I was surprised at how relatively ample the parking was here despite its proximity to the city. We found a spot with no problems. There were discreet signs that directed us up the stairs to where the event was held. It was spacious, airy, and cool, with a decent number of tables and a very nice large bar, as well as restrooms for both men and women. Our family members who spoke were able to stand on a small stage and share their thoughts. The food was served buffet style in front of the stage. Although you'd think it might be hard to hear given the acoustics, they worked out a way to make it so their speeches could be heard easily. Even visiting with other folks after they spoke, it never became too loud to hear each other. There are also nice TVs which displayed photos of the family. Although we used the space for a celebration of life, I can imagine it would be a good fit for all sorts of events, from corporate parties to just a chill hang out space when it's open to the public. It did get a little bit hot in the space as the event wore on, but it wasn't intolerable. The food and drinks were also quite tasty, especially for catered/buffet style food. There were pretzel bites and cheese dip and three different types of slider burgers: a standard/original burger, a taco burger, and an Impossible burger. The pretzel bites were crispy and buttery. I had a taco burger slider. It was a tiny bit dry but had a great flavor. The bartenders were great -- friendly, answering questions, working efficiently, and very kind to all the guests. Husband enjoyed the beers he tried and my mom and I both ordered the "Cranberry Crush," which was a yummy (and strong!) cocktail that was bright and perfectly sweet. They also serve mocktails, which I love! Glad to include folks who are sober. Thanks, 4 Hands, for creating a welcoming and comfortable space for us!
