Oh Square Peg… I was a fan but you lost me. I got the $10 lunch special, half turkey and a salad. The sandwich was mostly cheese with two slices of turkey. Not at all what I was expecting, maybe that’s on me for not investigating the menu. When I went to pick up, the lot looked empty and I had to call to see if anyone was working at the pickup window. It was really disappointing - the food and service both seem like an afterthought when it could be a slam dunk.
The food is pretty good. The atmosphere was not very inviting. It seemed understaffed. We couldn’t catch our server because they were doing something else. The tables around us were all dirty since no one had time to clean them up. And someone started setting up a speaker and a computer, for the trivia night I’m guessing, right next to us which was quite uncomfortable.
Great thin crust pizza! Really different but delicious combinations, and the prices are extremely reasonable!

Amazing pizza. Unfortunately we were charged an extra beer. I didn't notice until the next day.
Really good food would highly recommend if your in the area, we all had a blast and enjoyed the atmosphere.
We love the pizza, plus they have great wings and mozzarella sticks too! Best of all are the Happy Hour specials, when we get there early enough…. The cold brew martini is awesome!!!
We usually go for Happy Hour and enjoy the plain pizza and a salad, but the specialty pizzas are outstanding. Try the Chicken Cacciatore one. It's phenomenal.
Got an email asking to leave a good google review for a chance at a $50 gift card. Really don’t care about the gift card, but will leave a review.
Their red sauce is watery, which leads to a gum line on the pizza of uncooked dough. To avoid this, they go light on the sauce and go hard on the cook. They do this for all pizzas and not just their red sauce pies. So the non-red pizzas get incinerated while the red pies get a black crust yet somehow remain undercooked. On top of this, they also go light on the toppings to prevent the soggy middle. So now you got an overcooked crust with a soggy middle with very few toppings.
The undercooked pizza problem can be solved by using a thicker sauce or coating the dough with oil before adding sauce. But those recommendations have been ignored multiple times. Least they finally got wire stands.
There’s a lot of pizza joints around, and it seems like this place does better as a bar than a pizza joint. It’s a nice enough meet-up spot, and as long as you avoid their red sauce pizzas you should be okay. It’s pricy, but if you go for the people and not the pies then you’ll have a good time.
Now please don’t ask me to review again.
Square peg has been delicious every time I have been - not only their pizza but salads, sandwiches, and wings too. Plus the drinks! Especially the margaritas.

Above average local spot could use a few boosters but not bad. I think I want to like it more than I really do because the local scene isn't great but fair prices, decent for family, good for football, reliably standard foods, friendly if not efficient staff... Pas mal.
Ordered a small Margherita Pizza with vegan cheese on Saturday evening. The crust was crispy and had a nice char with hardly any flop. Delicious pizza. The pizza was ready within 20 minutes after we ordered. Great customer service through their drive through window.
Came in on a Saturday and it wasn’t busy at all. Food came out quick! I had the chicken parm sandwich - nothing too crazy but it was good. My girlfriend had the Bianco pizza with maple syrup on it?!? - it was SOO good. We both tried it and it was amazing
Fantastic happy hour. Pizza is amazing. The bartender makes the best margarita's. Great atmosphere!
Great pizza and amazing happy hour prices!
