We had our wedding reception at Peddlers in September. Carolyn was very accommodating with our requests and easy to work with! The food was fantastic (several pizza varieties including gluten free along with wings and appetizers), and the team running the bar was quick and stayed within our budget! I can’t recommend them enough for large gatherings.

Visiting in town. Tried Peddlers. Cool vibe - would be a great bar to drink & snack. Apps were good & beer list was good. Mixed drinks had good flavor.
But sandwiches and pizza were lacking. Had 2 sandwiches and 2 pizzas. “The Strom” looked the part, but was almost inedible. The cheese was toasted, but meat & sauce were still cool. The sausage had a strange gritty, almost mealy texture. The enchilada pizza was fine, but under seasoned. The Philly sandwich was good, but over cooked. And the build your own pizza was fine, but also not hot throughout.

5/5 Stars – Toss It Like It’s Hot!
Peddlers Pizza Pub is the kind of place where pizza dreams come true, brick by brick (literally, the walls are brick, and they mean business). The atmosphere is like a secret hideaway for pizza lovers: dimly lit, lively music playing, and a bar that looks so inviting I almost regretted skipping drinks—almost.
Now, about the pizza. I went rogue and built my own masterpiece: garlic and herbs sauce, chicken, sweet bell pepper, red onion, tomato, and feta cheese. The result? A slice of heaven that could make angels jealous. That garlic and herb sauce alone deserves its own fan club.
The real entertainment, though, was watching the pizza makers tossing dough in the air like some kind of delicious circus act. It was mesmerizing—10/10 would watch again. I almost felt bad eating their creation. Almost.
If you're looking for great pizza, fun vibes, and a place where even the dough gets to dance, Peddlers Pizza Pub is where it's at. Pro tip: build your own pizza and don’t skimp on the feta—it’s a game-changer.

Had Peddlers 3 times now at 3 different times of the day and year to try and be fair. The only enjoyable experience I've had was ordering a breakfast pizza and taking it home to enjoy. Both times I have dined there the food took close to an hour (pizza and wings.) The Parthenon Pizza I ordered the second time visiting was almost inedible because of the amount of black olives on top, tomatoes were practically raw still. Last night I tried for a third time. We were told wait would be half hour-45 minutes. Ended up taking an hour and fifteen. I ordered wings, tots, and a beer. The dry rub buffalo wings were literally black they were so overdone (this wasn't just the rub that had been overcooked, the wings were dried out) and the tots they obviously forgot and made on the fly only to be delivered undercooked. Pretty disappointing all the way around.
SIDEBAR PRIVATE EVENT My now wife and I have been going to Peddler's for years and have always loved the food and atmosphere. When we started looking for a venue to host our Wedding Reception, we were curious about the Sidebar space and put out some feelers about reserving the space alongside other locations
It quickly became apparent that Sidebar by Peddlers was going to be where we held our Wedding Reception. Carolynn was amazingly responsive, communicative and flexible with all of our needs.
Despite having an entire restaurant to manage, she always found time in the months and weeks leading up to the event to answer our questions, help us make decisions on organizing the space, and had plenty of excellent suggestions
The night of the reception, the space was impeccably clean and organized, the food was delicious and served right on time, and our dedicated servers and bar were fantastic to work with! Everyone who attended our wedding was super impressed with the location, the quality of food and the quality of service. The pricing was super reasonable and we found the Peddlers staff super easy to work with
I highly recommend checking out Sidebar as a location for your next private event!
