Bottom line: Good, but not fantastic. This place is long on hipster style — all dark, farmhouse-style wood tables, high ceilings, and dim lighting — but somewhat short on great pizza, which should be its specialty. Don't get me wrong; it's perfectly serviceable, but not as amazing as billed.
This is a meat-heavy menu, with perhaps 3-4 veggie-only options for pizza and several salads. We went with the giant bean salad with pesto and the kale Caesar for appetizers; the former was just OK, but the latter was a nice preparation of raw kale, plus the Parm-Reggiano was fresh and had excellent bite. For dinner, we first ordered a pizza that didn't specify that it had meat on it (there are a couple of these on the menu, so vegetarians beware), and switched it out for an arugula and tomato, and an eggplant and zucchini. The toppings on both were tasty, though I had to shake some red pepper flakes on both to give them a bit more flavor. The crust, however, is the big fail for me. This is paper-thin wood-fired pizza, and it's really not crispy at all. And if the crust doesn't have some crunch and the pizza flops over and all the toppings slide off as soon as the tip is lifted off the plate, it just ain't the real deal in my book.
The best surprise of the meal was the Coney Island-made hard root beer, which I've never had before. The sweetness of a typical soda is balanced by the alcohol, which makes it a fun alternative to a co*cktail. That would be worth going back for, but I'd probably skip the pizza.
