Peak is such a fun, chill spot, definitely feels like a local hangout. We loved that it had a mix of everything, people at the bar, families hanging out, just an easygoing vibe all around. The pizza was really good, it's thin crust, and you can build your own by selecting things on the pizza form, or go with one of their pre-selected picks (meats, veggie, buffalo chix, etc). I also liked that there's a separate pizza lounge area if you want to sit and eat, or you can stay at the bar. Great beer selection, and of course I couldn't leave without grabbing a t-shirt. Will definitely eat here again! read more

The Peak Taphouse and Kitchen - Pizza! - Breweries Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

Great atmosphere. Everyone is here to hang out and have fun, truly. Little pizza corner to eat while you enjoy the many beers on tap. If you're looking for to-go options, they have plenty of cans to choose from as well. I like that they have mostly local beers, with a few beers from other areas. I've tried basically every local beer, so I enjoyed the supporting local, but also offering something different. Parking is limited, which is the only downside. read more

The atmosphere was casual and comfortable. We sat a bar, bartender was friendly and helpful on selections. we ordered a pizza and it was great read more

Great little find. Not a very big place but well worth the wait as the pizza is dynamite. They have bar seating, a small counter with 3-4 stools and 4 couches for indoor seating. Pizza is thin and crispy and very flavorful. My kids said it was the best pizza and wanted to come back the next day. Don't let the wait scare you as it may take 15+ minutes. The beer was also good and they had a good variety on tap and in cans. For kids, they have canned soda or water. The staff were all friendly and helpful with any questions we had. read more

I can't say much for the restaurant because we got carry out, but the pizza and jalapeño poppers were good! Love that the pizza crust is thin. We had some modifications and the restaurant was accommodating. read more

This place is top notch in terms of craft beer selection! The pizza is some of the best I've ever had. No nonsense menu- pick a chef crafted pizza for $12 or build your own- Very, very good. The atmosphere here is great. Clean with a lot of wood accents. The inside is cool and spacious and they also have some very limited outdoor seating which we really appreciated. It's right on a busy street and within a shopping center so you will get a lot of car noise, but it's nice to sit outside anyway. It's very easy to order at the bar and the pizza is brought to your table. They have a very good selection of beer, especially of the hoppy and mostly hazy variety. Everything I've tried there has been good to great so far. If you enjoy pizza and beer, this should be towards the top of your list. read more

The Peak Taphouse and Kitchen - Can't beat pizza and beer! - Breweries Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

Best pizza I've had in a really long time. Ordered pizza from a local Italian restaurant the evening before and didn't even finish 1 slice. Their pizza crust appeared to be a commercial pre-made product. The Peak Taphouse is the real deal. I'll visit every time I'm in town. read more

Great beer selection and pizzas!!! Very chill atmosphere. Bartender and patrons very friendly. Will definitely go back! read more

I went to the Kitchen to go.... The wings were delicious and not skimpy in size. The pizza was a nice thin crust with cheese from edge to edge. Nicely done, we'll see you next year when we come back on vacation!! read more

Honestly cannot believe I slept on this place for so long. Unreal pasta, pizza, and on DoorDash! Absolute gem, and will be a definite regular order from us for now on. Finally good food I can get delivered!! read more

Stumbled upon The Peak Taphouse while looking for a lite bite and a drink. Tough to find both in one spot in NC. I ordered a local Pilsner on tap which was cold, light and tasty. This came as a recommendation from the bartender. She was so funny and welcoming! We ordered the margarita pizza -they call it flatbread. I call it TASTY!! The sliced tomatoes were fresh and it had just the right amount of olive oil drizzled on it. Yummy! The space was small, but cozy. I was happy to watch some hockey on one of their 3 large tvs at the bar. There was another section with cozy couches where you could watch the chef cook the flatbreads. I'll definitely be back!! read more

The Peak Taphouse and Kitchen - a glass of beer - Breweries Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

We love The Peak!!! This has become our go to pizza Friday location. It's a quaint little shop located right near the Surf City pier. They've got quite a few parking spots out front to make it easy for guests. All the pizzas are personal sized pizzas but are $10 for ENDLESS toppings. Yes you heard that right- add whatever you want to your pizza and as much as you want and your pizza will still be $10!!! no longer are the nights when my husband and I spend $24 to split a large pizza with toppings neither of us can agree on. The Peak has just about every topping you could imagine on their menu to add. Sometimes there is a special of the day which could include an app, a soup, wings, the options are always changing. Of course they only offer the special until it runs out. The pizza is always perfectly cooked and the staff is always extremely friendly. Not only do they offer amazing pizza but their tap list is amazingly expansive and has just about something for everyone too. They also offer specials on certain drafts & cans each night! read more

Very unwelcoming crowd. We came in with our family (2 young kids) and were more or less asked to leave by a patron. We felt this as soon as we walked in the door. read more

By far the best pizza on the island. Bonus points for beer selection & having Touchtunes jukebox. read more

This was just ok, or maybe a little less than that. We went at lunch, and it was summer so the place was kind of busy. You walk in and it's a confusing set up. You don't know whether to seat yourself or wait, and no one who works there offers any direction. So we sat at this high top bar type thing. We were right beside a huge multi-family group who felt fine letting their many kids be extremely loud, so maybe that dampened the whole experience. Anyway, we had no idea how to order so my boyfriend finally went and asked the woman working in the kitchen area. She explained you get a form from a table in the dining area, fill it out, and give to the bartender who gives it to her. He first went to the bar to order our drinks then we filled out a form and ordered a pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and jalapeños. He had a beer and I had a water - they only have Liquid Death for water which I don't love for some reason. The pizza didn't take too terribly long to come out, but they left off the jalapeños. The service had been so meh we agreed to not even mention it. It tasted pretty good and was an ok amount to split between two people. But we just ate quickly and left because the two people working just weren't very welcoming at all. I mean yeah, I'm sorry we showed up to your place of business in a tourist town during tourist season. Our mistake. We won't be back. read more

Pizza is awesome. Dough is made in house and pizzas are fresh made to order. Very chill vibe and staff is friendly. Highly recommend!

We love this tap house! Best spot on the island. Tom is the MVP bartender. Food is also great!

Kelcey was very sweet and informal about the brews The pizza looked very good Definitely would swing back in read more

Don't be fooled by the "Double-Wide" feel. The Pizza was excellent and the staff was friendly and quick to get you another round. The tap to bar stool ratio is remarkable for such a small place. Great time, great food, ice cold beers! We will be back! read more

Had a great time at this local taphouse on the island. The tagteam of Tom (bar) and Josh (kitchen) is definitely a dynamic duo that's for keeps. Variety of beers on tap. The secret sauce is their Pizza. What a great pairing with any of their great beers. Highly recommend If you are in the area. Thanks guys. Job well done! read more

First time in North Carolina and pizza here is awesome, service is awesome and great ambiance!!!! Beer is great and delicious. Highly Recommend read more

Peak is awesome. They have beer in a variety of styles, and if nothing on tap calls to you, check out or ask about what's in cans and bottles in the cooler. The pizza is very good, better to order one extra than not enough because you'd rather have leftovers than not enough. The place is always busy and sometimes you have to park a little further, but it's worth it. I am in the area 2-3 times a year and try to get at least one Peak visit in every time. read more

Cold beer, many options and friendly staff - recommend stopping in and trying. We had three in the party and all enjoyed the stop - menu is on the flat screen or you can scan read more

He Said: Excellent spot for craft beer right in the middle of Surf City. They get busy, of course, and the place is small, but we visit just about every time we come here. The pizzas are wonderful and well-worth the visit. She Said: I'm not sure what else I can add except that Peak is the best place on the island for a variety of craft beers. They are have wines, too, in case that's more your jam. It's busy with locals in the off season, and I can't imagine what it's like in the middle of summer, but I certainly recommend a visit. Potty Points: 3/5 potty points. One bathroom in a bustling bar, so it is what it is, and it could certainly be worse. read more

This little spot was the whole package. Did not miss a beat. At first glance it is very small and I was thinking it is crowed in here. From the first two ladies laughing and having a good time, to the merch on the wall and Jukebox in the corner-Nice. Definitely the spot down with the local beach vibe. First time I forgot I wasn't in Cali. Lots of beer on tap, some ciders and cool canned waters. Build your own pizza's with the chef in the back corner highly visible tossing everyone's custom pizzas. Everyone taking turns on the tunes, throwing back their beers, laughing and having a good time. If I lived out here would bring friends here all the time. read more

OK... Let me start with this... Any negative reviews of the pizza at Peak have to have been written by people who have absolutely no conception of what good pizza is. After spending much of my life in NY and NJ, and having made several trips to Italy, I consider myself more than qualified to state emphatically that the personal pies at Peak are among the BEST you'll find ANYWHERE! And the service at the bar is great. That's it...done...end. read more

Wasn't feeling it...pizza crust was good but food was really bland. Customer service could have been way better, didnt feel engaged or particularly cared for. My wife and I are a mixed racial couple. As we walked through the door, we greeted the bartender with "Hey, how are you?" Her response? Not "Hello," or "Hey guys, how are you?" Very flatly, she asked, "What can I do for you guys?" Yet in the next breath, she was chumming it up with the two other parties of white customers at her bar. When other white customers walked in, she was bubbly and friendly. Maybe people aren't self aware enough to realize that this is what they're doing. However, if you do work in the service industry, it is to your benefit to be aware of your behavior and attitudes toward all people. Might try it again but really doubtful. ill spend my money elsewhere. read more

We got our pizza to go but picking it up we could tell the interior atmosphere looked cozy and relaxed, and we would certainly dine in next time! The pizza was ready in about 25 minutes, and it was still hot by the time we walked back home. The pizza had great flavor and toppings with a perfectly crisped crust. We would recommend anyone to go here! read more

So I'm going to unpack this slowly. It's NC small town so, they aren't going to be very welcoming to out of town folks but, I am the one to test your fortitude. In the post Trump era America has fully changed and the threat is real sooooooo. A lot of locals which I love cause I want to see how you do it. This crowd was mixed meaning the attitudes not the races, a Spanish family came in and felt very apprehensive, we made room for them but, they were like "Naw we will sit outside" that's not good. Walked in took a walk around before we settled at the bar. There were obviously people that we uncomfortable from the time we stepped in.... You felt the energy. The bartender was a nice young lady, she gave us the run down of the beers, which was awesome, I'm not a beer drinker and she found one that I would like. We ordered pizza, ate chatted and had a nice time. The musical chairs around us was hilarious. I mean they were uncomfortable sitting by other human beings. I can give two shakes cause, I love you to be uncomfortable around me cause you can see I'm not playing games and about to take over your spot. Shrug ‍ I waited to post this, owners trace back in your mind..... be welcoming We just wanna eat drink and be Merry read more

Great beer selection although they do not allow you to order flights. Across the street from the beach, tucked away into a shopping strip, the place is cozy with limited light. It's definitely a locals spot. The pizza is phenomenal and prices are excellent. We will definitely be going back! read more

I hate to be a grinch and leave an unsavory review, but that is what the bartender was- a bit of a grinch. Barely looked up from phone and was binging a Netflix show on the big tv that dominates the bar and the vibe. No smile whatsoever. Not necessarily cut out for tending bar. On my second beer I asked for water to go with it because - hydration. A few minutes after pouring a beer he dropped off some fancy water in a can without saying a word. I eventually asked another staffer about the cost of the fancy water and she offered to replace it with a glass of tap water. That was cool. The pizza was great though, with super fresh ingredients and a fantastic value for 10 bucks (for whatever ingredients you'd like). Could have been a bad day for the bartender dude but he gets 1 star for that shift. The other staff I interacted with were pleasant and I'd recommend the 'Za. read more

Place is very quiet. No music. This place needs cleaned. They do have a selection of beer. Pizza was okay.

Little pizzas with whatever you want on them for the same price. The meat was bad (rotten) on two of our three pizzas. I got sick. I could smell it as soon as I opened the box. Tried to eat it anyway. Bad night all night afterwards. Flavor on the third was bleh. Won't be back. Get a tombstone instead. read more

Have been super hesitant to leave a review because I (like quite a few others) am reluctant to give away a secret favorite spot of mine. But, it's not fair the The Peak and they deserve full credit. I love this place, absolutely love it. It's small inside, it's busy, it has many craft brew options and the pizza is absolutely AMAZING. And it's only $10 or so a pop. You choose the ingredients, they deliver to you a cracker thin crust gift from heaven. I can't even come here without eating enough to be full while still ordering another to take home and "save" for later, but I end up eating it as soon as I get home. read more

I love the pizzas and the customers of the Peak. I went in Friday night and purchased a growler of an IPA. I was shocked at the $24.00 price and the beer was flat. I'll definitely go down the street to fill my growler in the future. It doesn't appear that management reads these posts! Too bad. The place has a lot of good qualities. read more
