Reviews praise Thirsty Bear Pizza’s spectacular, large pizzas and warm staff but note inconsistent service, loud weekend music, unevenly cooked topped pies, and restroom cleanliness issues.

The wait staff was amazing—attentive without being overbearing—and the chef was a joy. Considering the quality of the pizzas, I found the prices to be very reasonable. These folks definitely know their pizza, and I can’t wait to visit them again. Their offerings make Domino's and Pizza Hut seem quite ordinary by comparison!

I absolutely adore the pizzas at Thirsty Bear, particularly the vegetarian one with artichokes. The crust is perfectly crafted, and the pizza is generously drizzled with olive oil.

Table service, which is carried out by a very efficient bar service, is well served. The pizza here is really good and they are absolutely huge, but you can also buy from the slice. Good selection of drinks and sports on overhead panels.

Alriva I believe I’ve spelt it wrong) However, service 10 out of 10. Food came the way want it that your orders, cocktails are good : again some are questionable. The atmosphere are great and service. If you’re challenger, and want to be on the “ Wall Of Hame” get it done. Wish you all the best with the Calzone !! Peace
