Absolutely recommend! We were traveling through that area and stopped for lunch. Hand tossed pizza was delicious 😋 sandwiches coming out of the kitchen looked equally delicious. We sat at the bar, bartender, owner, and other patrons were friendly and talkative. We felt like we have been going there for years.

Loud and slow service. Food just average

First time visit. Celebrating my husband's birthday. Live in Lowell, In and staying at the Blue Chip. Wanted to find place for cocktails and lunch. Read reviews so decided here. Not disappointed to say the least. First good sign, busy for early afternoon. Vibe inside was cute, clean, and reminded us of younger days. Peter the bartender was outstanding. He knew what you needed before even asking. Pleasant and made you feel super important. Had great menu choices, difficult to decide but we went with the Detroit pizza. WOW, the best. Served fabulous on silver server. Crust done perfect. A bit different but sauce is served on the side. Had Marinara.. Fresh tasting by far. Peter suggested trying sliced meatballs instead of sausage. Another WOW.. When we left the place of full. Can see why. The only thing I can complain about is.. we live quite the distance, otherwise we'd be quite the regulars and try everything on the menu.
Thank you Swells for making a great birthday kicked off right.

We tried both the thin crust and the Detroit deep dish pizzas, and we were really pleased with the quality of each. There are many great pizza options in the area, and Swells is a welcome addition to that lineup. We’re excited to return on our next visit to explore more of their menu offerings!
