Perfect combination of crispy and chewy crust. A medium pizza is equivalent to others large. Toppings are fresh and well proportioned. Parking in downtown Cedar Rapids isn't the greatest, but our server Jaylynn made our visit worth the hassle. LOL

Lexi was great. We arrived a little later than we would have liked, but Lexi took care of us with professionalism and poise despite being closer to closing. Food was also fantastic!

In line with previous reviews, I must say that the bacon and barbecue mashed potato pizza is surprisingly delicious. Additionally, the choice of music playing overhead is excellent. Our group had a great time...

The food was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. It felt like there weren't enough staff members on duty. We waited around 15 minutes before we...

Travel through and picked up pizza to order not go crazy fast service. has vegan cheese sausage and vegan chicken. each topping is additionally (guests I am spoiled fast fired.) pizza was quite good, toppings were tender, def would have more coverage of toppings, but overall enjoyed it.

I have the pizza with vegan cheese, it was good. the guacamole has milk in it.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this pizza! The crust was perfectly thin, crispy, yet soft, and bursting with flavor. Everything else on the pizza was fantastic as well. The vegan options are impressive; they offer three types of meat, a nice balance of sweet and spicy toppings, and vegan cheese. We ordered for delivery, and even though we requested no Parmesan in the sauce, they still included Parmesan packets, alongside napkins, cutlery, and chili flakes in the bag. Overall, a great experience!

While their options are not exceeding vegan cheese and sweet out, their crust was delicious and the pizza my partner and I got during the break in the city to lunch was surprisingly delicious. If I ever go through again, I would like to stop and get another pizza from them.

It's been a while since I enjoyed pizza with my family, and I want to express my gratitude for the vegan options! Everything was delicious! I opted for a personal-sized pizza with white sauce (a mix of garlic and olive oil), along with spinach, green peppers, and onions. The toppings are priced at $1.00 each, which could add up. Despite that, everything was excellent, and we've decided that this will be our new go-to pizza place!

Absolutely fantastic food! The appetizers, salads, and pizzas were all delicious. They also have an excellent selection of craft beers. Our server was amazing (I just wish I could recall her name). I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic service and staff! The weekly specialty pizza is always interesting and out of this world the Need Burglar (their take on a bacon cheeseburger pie) is my all time favorite pizza, anywhere. They have something for every pizza eater, including vegans and the gluten free. A great spot for lunch, dinner before a show, a late night drink and slice, and everything in between!

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The pizza was fantastic, especially the crispy crust, which I absolutely loved. The staff were very friendly, and the location is perfect for anyone staying in downtown. I will definitely return next time!

We had delicious pizza (the crust was fantastic), excellent service, and tasty beer! We stopped by before the Chelsea Handler show, and the bartender kindly offered to keep our leftover pizza for us. When we returned, the restaurant was closed, but one of the other bartenders spotted us and brought our pizza to the door. How awesome is that?

I had staff check on me multiple times to make sure I had everything I needed. The build your own style pizzas makes sure you get exactly what you want. I had an individual pizza with a white base topped with chicken and mushrooms garnished with parmesancheese sprinkled on top.

I picked up a pizza to go during my travels. The service was decent, not overly fast. I ordered a vegan pizza with cheese, sausage, and chicken. Each topping comes at an extra charge, but I guess I’m just used to places with quicker service. The pizza itself was quite good, although the toppings were a bit sparse. It could definitely have used more coverage. Overall, I enjoyed it!

I ordered the pizza with vegan cheese, and it was quite tasty. However, I found that the guacamole contains milk.

I absolutely love this pizza! The crust is expertly crafted—thin, crispy, soft, and bursting with flavor. The rest of the pizza is equally delicious. The vegan options are outstanding, featuring three types of vegan meat, an abundance of vegetables and spices, along with vegan cheese. One thing to note: we ordered for delivery and found Parmesan cheese packets included in the bag with the plates, cutlery, and chili flakes, even though we had specifically requested no Parmesan in the sauce.

While their options do not extend beyond vegan cheese and vegetables, their crust was delicious and the pizza my partner and I got during the break in the city for lunch was surprisingly delicious. If I ever go through again, I would like to stop and get another pizza from them.
