    I had never eaten pizza with artichoke in my life, and I must admit that OMG, it was delicious. I LOVED MY PIZZA, I think it's my new favorite pizza. Who came up with the idea of putting honey on the edges of the pizza? It's like a 2x1 deal, you get a meal and a dessert for the price of one, and the taste of this combination is truly delicious. The service was good, but I feel like the girl could have been a bit more cheerful because, honestly, she looked like she was annoyed. The restaurant had good music, but there was no one else inside. I loved all the drawings that were stuck on the wall.

    Service is great very friendly and polite. Keep checking on me as I watched Dodgers Game. The pizza and cheese bites delicious great flavor. The ambience is super chill.

    Pesto bread twists
    Reginald G.

    Breadsticks with a pizza slice attached?!? Yes please! Simple online ordering makes for speedy service when you pick it up. The pizza could have used a few extra minutes in the tanning bed but overall a delicious decision. Although, the pesto bread twists are gold medal winners!

    There's multiple locations so make sure you're calling the right location if you're your order to-go. I would highly recommend calling in as it does take about 20 mins for the pizza to be ready. East take-out spot. Ordered a medium pizza (12") serves 2-3 people - half Carnivore and half General's. They only do half/half for medium and large sizes. They gave plenty of ranch and honey to dip the crust in. The pizza was ok, nothing special... it's just your standard pizza but the crust is a bit more unique/soft. There's a lot of cheese, too much Canadian bacon (overpowered the flavor) and not enough pepperoni/sausage. Not enough meat period.

    5/1/23 Went here with the homies and got some pizza and beer of course . This was my 1st time here . The service was great , fresh made pizza. Wasn't very crowded for 6pm on a Monday evening . We got the Popeyes pizza which is -pesto white sauce, spinach, mozzarella cheese, chicken breast, red onions and fresh Roma tomatoes and it was Delicious. I would definitely get again . Next we had BreathBuster which B is Fred's Red sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, linguiça, garlic and red onions.. OH man this was amazing love the tons of garlic they put sooo good . Recommend for sure. Also had the Garlic cheesy bread and that was mighty good too. Asked for extra ranch and also ask for the Honey, you will want to dip , or drizzle or whatever with your pizza ends / or cheesy bread wow what a combo i never knew and it was Excellent. I ordered for my son a large single cheese pizza and they gave me 2 huge slices , whoa huge i say and he ate 1 , that was enough and he loved it . I had The Brewer's cabinet Tahoe amber ale and that was delicious with my pizza . Everyone enjoyed we had 6 in our party and plenty of room. Cool Ambience for pub/pizza place. Cool spot in Reno for sure. Decent prices and good pizza . Will definitely revisit or to go order . Enjoy!

    Large veggie pizza, add bacon.
    Jonathon L.

    Summary? Not bad. Not great, but not bad. Considering our purchase was $80, I expected more, though. We got a large vegitable pizza with pink sauce (half red, half white) add bacon, cinnamon twists, large house salad, and cheesey garlic focaccia. We also got sides of house made ranch and honey. From what I'm told, they had a spicy honey dip which is great for the pizza crusts. Unfortunately I didn't get to try it, as I got plain honey instead. Not sure why, but it is what it is. Let's start with the salad. Not bad. Little grape tomatoes are a nice touch. Nice thin cucumber slices. It's likely to last longer before wilting that way. Unfortunately the croutons in it were already softening up, and the lettuce (which was fresh, green, and tasty) was awkwardly cut, making it hard to eat. Every bite had the salad brushing your cheek before you're able to get it into your mouth..... So, meh. The homemade dressing was something special - and divisive. I loved it. You could really taste what I think was dill and other herbs. My wife? Hated it. Said it tasted bitter. Had to be the herbs. If you like something fresh I think you'll dig it, tho. Cinnamon twists were also meh. I can see what they were trying to do, but there wasn't enough cinnamon or sugar to make these a dessert. They did have a nice chew, and tasted pretty good - but there wasn't enough to make them pop. The honey helped some, but I would have preferred more flavor on the knots themselves. Now the cheesy garlic focaccia? The best thing I got tonight. Great tasting, great chew and mouth feel. Lots of garlic, herbs, butter, and cheese. Easily the best thing we had Tonight. I'd order this again in a second, and eat it with that fresh tasting ranch. Now, the veggie pizza. The most meh thing we got tonight. The crust was inconsistent. Certain pieces were great, and held up well to the toppings. You could hold the slice up and eat it easily. Other slices literally fell apart from moisture, or perhaps because the crust was too thin in parts. I don't want to knock them too much on this because they make the dough from scratch (I'm told) and when you are aren't using industrial machinery to make your pizza it's not going to be perfect. That being said - it was really, really delicate. The flavors were good. A nice selection of veggies. I'm a sucker for Artichoke hearts. And the bacon I added always sets a veggie pizza off just right. So it wasn't by any means bad. Was it worth the $35-$40 we paid for it? I don't think so. Paying that much for something, you expect perfection. I'd expect this from a $10 pie from Dominos. It's unfortunate that inflation has caused prices to rise for restaurants and customers alike. But that price increase means people are going to nit-pick every big spend to determine if it's worth it. I consider this a big spend ($80) - and after tonight's meal, I can't justify coming back here to spend this much on a meal that left us wishing we'd only bought the bread sticks. Why am I giving it three out of five instead of something less? Because I see the potential, and want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Everything we got could have been perfect with just a little bit more attention, something I hope others get to experience.

    16"Pizza Chicken Pesto 16"Pizza Breath Buster
    Robbie R.

    WOAH, holy flavor alert!!!! Took out two 16" pizzas and was enough to easily feed 6+ adults! We got the chicken pesto and breath buster pizzas and it's a tough debate which one was better. They are just oozing with great ingredients and amazing flavor. Definitely on the pricier side for pizzas, but with robust crust, huge sizes and great, friendly service you are getting what you pay for. Definitely will be coming here for delicious pizza!

    I came here with my cousin and they had really good and thick pizza. I tried some of the pesto slices and they were so good! The service was really good and they had free ranch! The place is pretty big and has some nice drawings on the side. I will be coming back and will recommend

    The menu and I can't wait to go back for happy hour!

    Do they have gluten free pizza?

    We do not offer salads but no gluten free pizza option. In order to offer a truly gluten free pizza we would have to prepare and cook the pizza in a separate kitchen and oven.

    First time stopping by in quite a while. It is World Cup season, and I had hoped that Ole Bridge…read morestill had some of the magic I remember. And glad to say, that in my experience, this is still the closest we have in Reno to a "soccer bar". This has always been a great spot. Small, yes, but in that casual, intimate, easy-going way that has a lot of charm. Lots of hard-wood finishes, barstools, and TVs to catch what's on. And at time of writing, totally overflowing with futbol energy. There are a good number of bar spaces, tables, and outside seating overlooking the river, which is a BIG draw. The beer selection here is great, both on tap and in cansor bottles. But they also have a decent full-barselection of wines, spirits, and cocktails. Plus, a decent smattering of N/A options. And prices are on par with most other bars in town. Service here has been quite good. Friendly in the extreme, and relatively prompt. Though if there are big, crowded events (such as a game being on), you may have a little slowdown. Plus, the vibes here are just fantastic. The location also cannot be beat, as it is ell placed to enjoy the riverfront and explore more of the area. Though parking may be a bit tight, depending on where you park and what day or time it is. There is also no food options here, but there are plenty of restaurants within a 5-minute walk. All in all, I am glad some of the energy I remember is still here. I will have to come back during MLS or Premier League matches to see how things stand. And with a soccer team HOPEFULLY returning to Reno, I definitely hope we can get the local supporters groups to return here, as well. Definitely a libation spot not to be missed. Cheers!

Since it was early most places were pretty dead until we got here. We had been across the street when my mom noticed this place and wanted to give it a try. It was the first fully crowded bar we had come upon. We shuffled our way through the crowd and decided on a table in the very back. As we were making our way toward the table, a bartender made eye contact with me and let me know she'd be right over to take our order. I thought that was pretty amazing since normally you have to try and order at an already overcrowded bar. A few moments later there she was to take orders. Two of us got wine and the other two got lemon drops which I know is out of place for an Irish pub but we ended up absolutely loving our choices. My mom also asked for a straw for our water and she returned and handed it to her in a napkin which gained major points because I cannot stand when I'm handed a straw with bare hands. They were also playing live music which really the crowd engaged. Definitely a fun spot! Things to note: there is a very small private parking lot.

Small stage with live bands, see picture or website. Small parking lot, don't even bother, plenty of street parking. Open 5 days a week from 4pm to close. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Service - 6 stars. They welcomed our team. Approved us bringing in food (from Pizza Plus) for our event. The waitress and the bar service were perfect. Came and got our drink orders often. Price - HH $5 beers. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2007. Our team has been regular customers since??? So I guess we will be coming here more often.

Zach greeted us as soon as we walked in, seated us quickly, and took the time to explain the menu and answer our questions. His friendly personality and knowledge made us feel right at home. I had a tough time deciding between the Homegrown Burger and the Alaskan Salmon, but I went with the burger. It was cooked exactly how I requested, juicy, flavorful, and easily one of the better burgers I've had in Reno. I'd give it a 9.2/10. My wife ordered the macaroni and cheese. She thought the flavor was delicious, but the sauce was a little thinner than she prefers, so she gave it a 6/10. Even so, she still finished the entire plate, which says a lot about how good it tasted. For dessert, we shared the apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect way to end the meal. It wasn't overly sweet. The warm cobbler paired perfectly with the cold, creamy ice cream. To top it all off, Zuck even gave us a mini tour of the restaurant, which made the experience feel even more personal. Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere make Homegrown Gastropub a place I'll definitely be returning to. If you're in Reno and looking for a locally owned restaurant with character and quality food, this place is absolutely worth a visit!

A fun and unique way to sort cocktails. They also have a selection of beer on draft and wine. The drinks can also be made into mocktails- a win for our group since we had a few non-drinkers.
