A few decent options on the taps. Wings were good (dry rub jerk flavor). Daily specials. Some decent happy hour nuggets.

Long time DI pizza customer. Service has gone down hill after covid. They recruited bar tenders with hideously rude attitude from up north . Disrespectful to customers .

This place is the best! Great service, great food, cool little pizza joint. The pizza and wings are some of the best around. Fantastic staff, competent bartenders, friendly servers. Barry, one of the cooks, best pizza guy in the city. Its worth the trip just to eat this guys food. Parking isn't too bad most nights. Located in a good area to hang out in. Highly recomend this restaurant.

It's a whiskey lover's paradise, where each sip offers a journey through the nuanced landscapes of flavor and tradition.As for the owner, let's just say he's a character with a capital "C."

Everything was as close to “exceeds my wildest” as one might expect! The ONLY reason atmosphere gets 1 less than FIVE STARS is to offer transparency to those looking for a “traditional” sit down Italian. Make no mistake: this is a sports bar and pizza/Italian tavern. With that said, however, I can tell you that it is OUTSTANDING at what it does! The food is completely authentic, prepared with true attention to instructions (raise your hand if you’re not used to that, btw…), and fabulous!Tonight, Courtney rocked the bar side—and people would have it no other way. She made everyone - including me - feel like I was THE customer that made the night worth working!Eric, Gaspar and Barry were in control of the food side, kitchen, and “fulfillment”, and I could not be more satisfied with the tasty “precision” of my order (except, perhaps, that I wanted it to take a few minutes longer so I could enjoy my visit and cocktail; I had gotten it to go…!)!!If you already know, tell them—and everyone else you know; if you don’t, however - or if it’s been a while - go back!!

This bar is connected to a pizzeria on one side then a wine a cheese place in the other. There's something there for everyone!One of the biggest liquor selections available in the area. It's considered a whiskey bourbon bar and the selection is impressive along with a wide variety aside from whiskey and bourbon.They have specials every night and Sunday is flip night... Where you flip a coin 50/50 for every drink you purchase, a very fun and rewarding special!Very cool

My wife and I don’t live on the island but we DREAM about this pizza and will make the drive just to get it! It is so good every single time and a large pizza is enough to feed our whole family when we get together! I have eaten their other pizzas but the white pizza is by far my favorite! No other white pizza even comes close to being as delicious as the one Islands Pizza makes. Definitely check it out!
