I hadn’t been to Need Pizza in 6 years and it was just as great as it was back then!
We ordered the small Specialty pizza of the day (you cannot modify it) - and it was a fabulous choice. The blend of the toppings and cheese choices worked extremely well together. The pizza are very large! The small seemed more like a large at other places.
We also tried their breadstick bites appetizer (I don’t think that’s what it’s called) - it came with a side of their red sauce. They had great flavoring, were soft, and a great way to start the meal.
Staff was super friendly and the food came out quickly.

Abbey was our server and she was excellent! And the bartender, Hailey, is as sweet as pie! Pizza is delicious, beer is cold and both had great selections. Try the meatballs if you're extra hungry!!!

Excellent service by Abbey, excellent food, not too expensive. Wide beer and beverages selection too. Recommended! Also, the garlic cheese bread was unreal, and it's the size of a small pizza, which is honestly not small at all! Also, they have pizza sizes by inches, which makes it so easy to know what you're ordering. Also also, to top it all off, they bring the payment terminal to the table instead of bringing your credit card away from your sight, and I think that's awesome and not nearly as common as it should be. Overall and really really good experience and I'm definitely be coming back.

Very cool little local pizza joint. In town for a meeting and the hotel recommended Need. I'm glad they did. Had a bbq chicken pizza, all I can say is delicious. Flavors were awesome and the wait staff was on point.

I love NEED pizza. The last time I was there I had an issue with my pizza. The way Bob handled the situation made the difference. I appreciate the good customer service and will be returning the next time I am in town

Well, they said the pizzas were large...but they were huge! Excellent crust and great flavor. Service was good...the server was busy so they seemed short staffed...

Excellent! Highly recommend the "olive oil spicy dip" for crust. Not sure what it's even called. Delicious! Atmosphere and service were 10/10

So good we JUST HAD TO stop for lunch the next day AFTER JUST imbibing the night before...and worse yet...EVEN AFTER I had leftover pizza for BREAKFAST this morning! Doh!

A) That Greek Salad, folks! Just say YES and don't think twice about it. Thank me later, alright? It is a HUGE portion of FRESH GREENS, topped PLENTIOUSLY with cucumbers, halved grape tomatoes, FETA, red onions, kalamatas (if watching sodium, well, don't just watch em show up...don't say I didn't warn ya...we asked for half the kalamatas and twice the red onions and cukes, and Rich got what we were throwin' down, and happily obliged despite having just experienced the ultimate sadness: losing man's best friend).

B) Don't be too chicken or too cheep (pun intended, ya'all, dont send out the grammar PO-LEASE!) to add that chicken to the salad! If you do or are, don't come peckin' on my coop singin' da blues!

C) The Pizza...man, oh, man, just sayin: that Cauliflower Crust beats anything glutinous! Ask for it crispy and tell em' NOT to be afraid o' cookin' it too long! That crunch beats anything I've had as a g/f connoisseur from St. Louis all the way to Iowa ...and beyond...just like Buzz Lightyear, I get around to some pizza places!

D) The music is just plain groovy. Not too loud for us older folks who become crochety when that happens, and not too quiet for the other whipper snappers who frequent the joint!
