It's almost as if they can't decide what they want to be. The ice-cream was just okay though some flavors were gross. I used to live in Columbus and frequented Jeni's. The Hollander is aiming for those strange gourmet flavors without the heart and expertise. If a place is going to try to be the new Jeni's Splendid Ice-cream then they need to go all in. You can also find better wood-fired pizzas/food in downtown Wapakoneta at J. Marie's. Again, they're just trying to be okay at everything instead of experts on one or two things. Hopefully they iron these issues out because sitting outside on the patio is a real treat.

Your wood-burning pizza oven delivered really good pizza. My Pesto sausage, ham, pepperoni, mushroom, avocado pizza was really good and tasteful. (Avocado was added after roasting). I can't wait to try the Caribbean Ruck pizza sauce with peppers. The Buffalo Castle at my previous visit was just as good.

The quality of ingredients seemed to be good, and it was cooked properly, but not exactly edge to edge toppings. While disappointed and still hungry, I have faith, and I am eager to come back and try something different on the menu like a wrap or a burger.
