Stop #4 - Piece Brewery and Pizzeria

Think Piece.

This isn't just a place you go if you are in the area, you go because you are in the mood for a delicious thin crust pizza.

Location

Street parking is inevitable but it only cost us $4.00 for the max of 2 hours. We had to park about 5 blocks east on North Avenue.  Had we gone for dinner, they do offer valet parking for $10.00 and we would have absolutely paid for it.  The drive from our house was about an hour but you hardly even notice.

The bar inside is almost as long as the dining area and there are plenty of tables to accommodate large parties.  (I believe I also read somewhere that they do take reservation - which would be wise if you are going with a bigger group at night).

A Piece of this. A Piece of that.

I decided that I'm going to do my best to always try something else on the menu (if available) for those of us who don't bleed pizza sauce.  The menu otherwise is very simple - a few appetizers, salads, pizza, desserts, and of course pizza in 3 different options - red, plain, or white.

 There is also a lunch menu that is offered until 5 pm (we didn't ask but assume just during the work week) which has individual sized pizzas.

The Goat Cheese caught my eye first but decided on chips and salsa to start.  The salsa is homemade every day and is served with corn chips.  It was delicious and a very light start to our lunch.

We were each going to order a small pizza (1-2 people serving) so that we would have some left over for dinner.  I then convinced myself that I also wanted the Goat Cheese appetizer so we ordered 1 red pizza with pepperoni and sausage.  Keep in mind that you pay for the size of the pizza first which doesn't include any toppings but mozzarella (if you choose the red or white pizzas). 

The Piece

Crust tastes a little buttery (but delicious) and was cooked perfectly.  The only issues we had were that it was pretty greasy (more than likely from the pepperoni) and until it cooled off, you had to use a knife and fork to eat it.  Otherwise the middle of the pizza was cooked, the pepperoni and sausage had great flavor, and the sweet sauce just rounded out each bite.

 We did order a medium pizza and yes it came on that huge pan.  After my appetizer adventure, I had 1 piece and Chris finished enough to give us half of the pizza left over - DINNER!

 

Total people: 2

Total bill: $43.20 - (2 appetizers, 1 medium pizza with 2 toppings, 2 pops)

Rhode's Recommendation  YES - worth the drive!

We're not saying we would go every week but if we want good thin crust you'll find us at Piece. Service was great and Piece was liking and tweeting us as we were eating our appetizers.  We told our waitress about our #rhodepizzatour and she told us she is doing the same thing herself but with finding the best tacos.  We have heard that their brews are really good too.  They even have a special on game days - 1 growler and 1 large pizza for around $27.
