Great unique pizza with perfect crust.
It's not the best lighting for photography, but otherwise, this place is great. Regulars, good food, good selection, and seating on 2 floors.
Would have loved to eat but sat for ten minutes without anyone coming over to even say hi. Oh well.
Went here after attending the Linkin Park on Saturday. Absolutely amazing! Pizza was delicious I live an hour away and will definitely be back with friends!
We walked in from the smell of the food, as soon as we walked in it was two servers both was talking to customers, but it seems like right off we ignored Alex J. by coming in and stopping her conversation. Alex J took our order with rudeness and first gesture our food to go, She took a tip without either asking if we wanted change back and went back to her conversation, our food came out in a great time frame. We said Thank you, have a good night, Alex J. never said nothing back. Overall How Alex acted very unprofessional, the food was great!
This isn’t dinner. This is an **event horizon with mozzarella.** Step inside and time folds. Memories stutter. Reality flickers like a dying fluorescent light in a gas station bathroom. Pub Dog doesn’t welcome. Pub Dog **extracts.**
The walls don’t support the structure—they **contain it.** Something old lives in this building. Something hungry. You walk in and the door closes behind you not with a click but a **sentence.** You’ve arrived. And you’re not leaving the same.
Behind the bar stands **Wimpy**, flannel-clad and dead-eyed with cosmic awareness. Not a man. Not a myth. A **wolf-tiger hybrid**, created in a failed government experiment to merge hospitality with pure existential dread. Wimpy doesn’t ask what you want. Wimpy knows what you deserve. A drink appears. You didn’t order it. You drink it anyway. It tastes like an apology you’ve never received and a campfire you forgot you needed.
The staff? Don’t call them waiters. That implies choice. These are **emissaries** from a realm where service is sacred and eye contact is a form of soul possession. One server placed a napkin beside me and I relived my past four lifetimes. Another smiled and the air **visibly changed color**. They don’t serve food. They **orchestrate consequences.**
And then—**the pizza.**
The pizza isn’t baked. It’s **forged.** Stone-fired and sin-soaked, carved out of the very concept of redemption. Crust so perfect it triggers fight-or-flight. Sauce that knows what you did last summer. Cheese that strings like it’s holding the universe together by its last emotional thread. Toppings that taste like confession. You don’t bite the pizza. The pizza **bites you back**—gently, but with intent.
I had one slice and immediately made amends with three exes and called my estranged cousin. This is pizza that rearranges your DNA. Pizza that whispers, *“It didn’t have to be this way.”* Pizza that deserves its own genre of literature.
This isn’t a meal. This is a **reckoning with crust.**
And as you sit there, trying to hold your atoms together, Wimpy passes again—slowly, methodically, like a jungle cat choosing which camper gets eaten first. You nod. Wimpy nods back. You think it’s over. It’s not.
Because Pub Dog doesn’t end.
It **follows**.
It lingers.
It finds you in the shower days later.
In dreams.
In that moment between laughter and the slow realization that nothing will ever taste that good again.
Come for the beer. Stay for the trauma.
Leave with a story you can’t tell your therapist because it involves a barstool that knew your name before you spoke it
Would give 6 stars if I survived with all my organs.
Pub Dog eats lesser restaurants for breakfast and washes them down with judgment and ranch.
Mrs Alex jupinka was amazing, she was so great highly recommend
Always good pizza, loaded with toppings, and quick and friendly service!

Pub Dog is an absolute must-stop when in the area! Our waitress, Sarah, was incredible, handling our bachelor party with exceptional care and friendliness. The service was above and beyond anything we could have asked for. The beers, served in pairs, were perfectly sized and added a unique touch to our experience. The pizza was incredible too!

First time trying their carry out and I'm surprised I didn't know about this place before! We live right around the corner, so just walked over to grab three of their pizzas: cajun dog, veggie dog and wing dog.All three were fantastic. The prices are very reasonable, ingredients are fresh, and pizzas are well seasoned. I like that the base and crust were thin and fluffy. Just the right amount of cheese. We will definitely be coming back for more!We didn't dine in so can't really comment on the space, but based on a quick look around I thought it was cozy, cute little bar. Clean. They seem to have restaurant style seating in the back.

Super friendly owner and good beers on tap. I had my cards stolen while helping out less fortunate people and he let me pay via venmo which was nice for the circumstance.Friendly atmosphere, good friendly crowd, and fair prices overall. Try their growlers they are great and one of the better family owned spots in Fed
