Izzi - Coffee Bakery Pizza

Pizza was good. Plenty of beers to choose from. Fries were good. My spicy chicken sandwich was meh. Good flavor and moist, but something about the breading was off for my tastes. Maybe it was overcooked. Definitely a big time gap between the arrival of our pizza and my sandwich. Seats aren't that comfortable. It is pretty loud, even at 5PM. Some of that is the minimalist decor in a big open space and some of it is the volume of the background music.

This is more brewery with some food than it is restaurant. Mellow Mushroom is a couple minutes down the street if you are looking for good pizza and a more traditional restaurant feel.

First time checking out this new spot in our neighborhood the other day. We are intimately familiar with Aslin and were curious to see how their new venture was. Grabbed 2 beers, some sprouts and the cheese curds. Sprouts were fantastic! Curds were a bit over-salted and over quantitied/under qualitied - they were tasty but wayyyy too many of them and wayyyy too tiny. Would have preferred fewer but larger curds. We sat at the bar and the staff was a bit disorganized but also super friendly. Spoke with one of the owners (Andrew) for a bit about their upcoming Pittsburgh opening. Really happy for these guys and also happy to have something like this in our home town. Wishing them nothing but the best of luck in all of their ventures!

We went before it showed up in Google Maps. I tried to add it, but only Aslin kept popping up.

My wife is very picky about pizza, having grown up in Western New York, where about every bar makes a good pie. The crust must hold the toppings, be crisp, and not fold over at the tip. Folding NY style is ok.

Our attempt to find something "regular" was difficult. Our preference is Napolitano. I don't have a menu, but there's a Margherita style pizza that we ordered. It's made with "hot honey". The pizza was well crafted, crisp crust except for one spot in the center. The honey we both found atrocious.

Wide selection of beers, though too much emphasis on IPAs for our tastes. But Devils Backbone always works, and I had a German style pilsner. Will try again. Interested in the coffees as well. We have a good espresso machine.

Pizza is good, beer is great, staff are great. Only downside, this place was so crazy hectic during Saturday lunch that it is anxiety inducing. Too much for me. Probably different vibe at different times of the day. Also, on nice weather days they roll up the front doors, which is nice, but it means you have to fight the flies off of your pizza.
