YOU MIGHT easily miss it unless you know to look for Alley Pub & Pizza. This bar and pizza spot is situated in a charming alley off Fountain Square, where you can often spot prom couples and newlyweds posing for photographers, taking advantage of the picturesque scenery.
The restaurant is located in a cozy bar featuring ample outdoor seating, where, if you’re fortunate, an adorable alley cat might rub against your legs, claiming the Alley Pub as its home. The children we observed dining outside were absolutely delighted by this feline fixture.
The menu features classic pizza pub fare, including wings, breadsticks, pizza, and an extensive beer selection. However, the limited offerings are anything but ordinary; they’re truly delicious. The plain breadsticks had a golden-brown exterior that was slightly crunchy, while the inside remained warm and fluffy. They were drenched in a butter and garlic parmesan topping. Another option of breadstick we enjoyed was stuffed with marinara and savory, chewy bits of pepperoni.
The chicken wings were perfectly crispy and seasoned in buffalo sauce. The heat level was medium but tasty.
Pizza is the main star of the menu, with signature pies like the Pulled Pork BBQ pie with pork, onions, and dill pickles and a Philly Cheesesteak pie with a white cream base, peppers, onions, and steak. We sampled The Works pie, which we requested to be cooked well done. The pizza featured a medium crust, generously topped with delicious sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, and onions. It was both traditional and chewy, making it exceptionally enjoyable.
Alley Pub & Pizza is a great spot to enjoy a fun meal with family and friends. Its laid-back atmosphere welcomes everyone. With its menu featuring delicious pizzas, mouthwatering appetizers, and refreshing beverages, there’s something for every palate, including the kiddos. GN
