    Pepperoni pizza & stoner bites
    Kyle C.

    Easy 5/5. Place is always good, the stoned bites are fantastic and the pizza is nicely thin and crispy. Sit outside, enjoy the weather and snack on some pizza. You can't beat it!

    I have walked by this place countless times. Finally looked at their menu & got a special of their fig papa only without the cheese. It was SO good. It was the perfect bit of sweet & savory. Their vegan pizza is also quite delicious. It has a wide variety of toppings that make it so tasty. My husband got their Philly bread special and loved it so much. Unfortunately he went to get it again & it wasnt available. But we will be keeping an eye out for it! He got the potato Pizza & enjoyed it. Only downside is that it is on super thin crust. Not really a save for later thing since it makes it more soggy unless heated in an air fryer. The service is good too. They answer questions and are nice. Might just have a longer wait if its a busy time of day or weekend since theyre downtown.

    What a gem! I am so pleasantly surprised by the food choices in the Valpo area and I will be back, but I needed something light before some ice skating and the Rolling Stonebaker was in the perfect spot (THANKFULLY). I love a great wood fire pizza and this place is excellent. Small with a few tables, but filled with so many choices for both pizza, other items, and drinks. Love that they have a great spot to sell out of a window to those visiting the park area for events (SMART). The choices for pizzas had me wanting all of them, but I finally settled on the Sticky Finger and the Joker. I was so impressed with the Sticky Finger that I still think about those flavors all together. It was a perfect fit for my palate and I loved it. The Joker was also great and the hubby loved it. We had a peach old fashioned to share (needed that before busting our butts on the ice rink, liquid courage) and the staff was excellent with keeping our waters filled and making sure we were well taken care of. PROS: Great spot downtown, next to event center areas Wonderful choices to fit all tastebuds in pizza choices Cocktail choices that are fun CONS: Parking, at the center near the ice rink (you can walk there though)

    Spent more than anticipated but still worth it

    Look this up a few weeks ago my parents are new to the Valparaiso area and we love trying all the new spots that we haven't been to yet this is a small little spot with very few tables on the inside, but man when I tell you the choices are very unique and different and palette pleasing although I will say for the size of the pizza it's definitely personal size but the crust was fantastic. I had the one with the bacon jam and they get the corn out of my face. They both were absolutely incredible and I will be back

    I love finds like this. Totally unexpected but absolutely delightful! When my husband said he wanted pizza I was a bit disappointed. We were in a city we had never been before and I was looking forward to a culinary adventure and then he says pizza...ugh! But then we find this cute little place and a culinary adventure we had!! The inside is small and cozy and our waitress was the kindest young lady! We didn't order drinks but it was a nice surprise to see that was an option. We started with the meatballs and let me tell you, there were delicious! It was a very generous serving and we ended up taking some of them to go. The pizza is fun and creative, but there's also the familiar toppings available for those less adventurous. We settled on one with bacon jam because hello, how delish does that sound? The pizza is the perfect size to share! They have a walk up window and it was jamming the whole time we were there. After tasting the pizza I can definitely see why!!

    We were greeted when we walked in. Small yet cute spot. They hada decent menu on paper but my tastebuds didnt agree with the brussel sprouts the bread pudding however was a hit. I forgot to take a picture.

    I love coming here! Their pizza is so good and comes out super quick. I've had the Sticky Fingers, Choke-n-shroom, and Italian Queen. They also have some really good triffles that are often featured at the Valpo events concerts. The pistachio and chocolate one was good and rich. I just had their strawberry rhubarb triffle. It was so good! The tang from the strawberry rhubarb compote complimented the sweet cream/cookie crumbles. They are in a prime location, which is great. I'll definitely be back to try more pizza and desserts.

    I think the place is really amazing here. The ambiance is really relaxing and chill. The customer service is absolutely amazing. The delicious food was quick and the quality is delicious, makes you wanting to come back for more. This will definitely be my go to spot for the summer.

    Sticky Fingers pizza

    I loved it! Ordered it last night and I got the Sticky Fingers pizza and the Heirloom Tomato salad; it came with a super good pesto.. yummmm! My new favorite pizza place in Valparaiso! Delicious!!

    Stopped in after a chiro appt. Husband LOVES wood fired pizza and didn't know this existed. So... here we are. The menu looks fantastic. And their drinks looks delish! I'd return, for sure! We started wjth the Holla Back Poppers. Because we live jalapeño's and spicy stuff. So good! And wow! The spice! Which made this app even better!! I had the Isla Mujeres drink (I believe). It was a passion fruity drink. Yum! Not sure what my husband had. He likes to drink a couple different drinks, because why not!? LOL We both ordered a pizza and shared. I got the Eggman pizza. Because I love eggs and I love pizza. And this did not disappoint. Husband had The Joker. More spicy. More jalapeño. :) both so good! Definitely a little gem in downtown Valparaiso.

    Ordered a simple meal of 10 wings to go tonight. Specifically asked for them to be made crispy…read more The person taking the order read it back to me and confirmed extra crispy. These wings are the furthest thing from crispy I've ever seen. Super soft and soggy skin. I had to broil them in the air fryer to get them somewhat enjoyable. Took a shot on them for their wings and won't be doing that again.

    I was hungry and this spot seemed to draw me in. I was hoping for some good food at the minimum…read more My significant other and I walked inside. I looked at the menu on the wall and then we proceeded to the counter underneath the Order sign. From the Pizzas section, we got a 12" Medium Cheese for $12.50. From the Apps section, they had Shoe Bites (garlic or cinnamon) for $4.99 and we chose garlic. From the same section, we got Onion Rings for $4.99. I ordered a diet pepsi for $2.89. We got to choose our table, so that was convenient. They started to bring out our order fairly fast. The diet pepsi was smooth and so was the free refill. The Onion Rings were crispy and full of flavor. I loved them. The Shoe Bites had a nice flow of garlic everywhere. I liked them. The 12" Medium Cheese came to the table looking fabulous. I was excited to grab a slice. The sauce and the cheese played together nicely. I was a fan of this pizza. The service was friendly and fast throughout my visit. I was impressed by that. Overall, this spot gave me some awesome food for some good prices. I would like to go back someday. Date of visit: 12/13/24

That being said, the pizzas with more toppings with a thicker cross seem to be really good. It's not the best pizza in the world, but really decent and the staff is always super friendly. Even on packed nights, they only have a couple servers, but the servers are fast. They really know how to hustle. It's pretty crowded in there on some nights places set up decently has a little stage in front in case they want to have a band. I like going there on Friday nights for karaoke. Just a heads up the place is super packed on a Friday evening, karaoke starts at seven and ends at 11. Everybody in their brother comes there for that to sing or just to sit and listen to other sing. The nice thing is is that since it is at a pizza place and it starts at seven anyone can sing, including children. The cutest youngest little girl I have seen sing did the K-pop demon hunters one of the songs from Matt and she was so adorable! Other kids have gotten up there and wow! They've blown me away with their voices and I feel funny going up there after them. There is a range of singers from new people that aren't the best at singing, but they love to sing and that's great! It takes a lot of courage to go up there. Everyone is super supportive and claps because like I said it's really hard to even go up there to even sing so the courage is really appreciated. It's such a friendly place and the owner is really nice and typically is working there too.

    This place is totally laid back during the day. We have gone here for lunch several times. We have…read moregotten pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, mushrooms, and more. The food is good and reasonably priced. The service has always been good too. There is a deck off the side to sit out on which we like when we are there. Otherwise there's a lot of seating and a bar inside.

It's a corner lot and has its own parking lot. I was really surprised that we went on a random Friday night and were able to get in. It's not very large, but it seemed like they got people in and out pretty quick. I was told the garlic knots were amazing and the Alfredo sauce to die for. My friend was not wrong. I'd say the show stealer were the garlic knots. you had to pay extra for the Alfredo sauce but it was worth it. It was so good, I could've drank it. The knots were tender and covered in butter, cheese and garlic. Yum. The pizza crust was good, but I don't think the meatball topping was the best choice for me. We also got a side of onion rings because they were beer battered and I always have to try beer battered onion rings. It's very hard to find good ones and these definitely rank in the top 3 or 4 for me. I was disappointed that they didn't come with any sauce but there was a decent amount of them and they were super crispy. Very basic restaurant in a college area and with a visit for sure. If we go back I'll try one of their entrees.

We waited just a few minutes for service, and our meals arrived in about 10 minutes, so efficiency was spot-on. However, the food itself left something to be desired. I ordered the Ham and Cheese Hoagie with fries. While it was toasted, the bread lacked the golden-brown crispness I was hoping for--it just looked and tasted underwhelming. My wife's meatball sandwich fared better visually, with a nicely browned (though slightly over-toasted) bread. Still, her sandwich, like mine, was just okay. Nothing memorable. On the positive side, the restaurant was very clean, and prices were reasonable, but the food didn't stand out enough to make me want to return.

A Cracker Crust Pizza and Salad. I was told it would be ready in 40 minutes. I waited until time and walked over to the Restaurant, was greeted by the hostess and paid for me order. Then the nightmare began. I waited an hour watching customer after customer come in, pay and pick up their order, while I stood right in front of the hostess without acknowledgement. After about another 15 minutes I asked if they could check on my order, she went to the back, came back to the front and never even informed me of her findings. After another 10-15 minute and watching another 1/2 dozen people come in and leave with their food, I asked her again with the same result. I had now been waiting in front of her an hour and a half. I asked to speak to a manager, which she came promptly and without an apology, just told me the kitchen got slammed and I could either wait or get a refund. I told her I had been waiting 2 1/2 hours from the time I ordered. Finally 15 minutes later my food came to the front, was handed to me. No apology for the long wait. Once again one of our favorite places, I informed her we would not be back and she just said...OK! While the drinkers at the bar kept drinking and the hostesses catered to everyone, I was pushed to the side as if I didn't matter. That's not how to treat anyone, let alone a paying customer.
