This is a pizza place. It's incredible to me that that isn't highlighted (or even mentioned!) in their branding. Their pizza is beyond excellent, IMO the best pizza you can get in Nashua.

I don’t write reviews very often, but… Extremely disappointed in the changes made at this brewery. Visited your location a little over a year ago and everything from the food, to even the staff has changed for the worse. For one, the pizza was awful compared to what it was when I made my first trip there last June. You had the BEST pizza and now it looks like a composite pile was dumped on some burnt pizza dough. Such a weird menu and it tasted awful. Had my phone not been dead I would’ve had pictures. The previous waitstaff and managers were amazing. So much so that I went back several times during the week of my stay last June. They were friendly, attentive, and made you feel welcome the second you arrived. The staff now is rude, distant, and makes you feel like you aren’t welcome. To make it even worse, the bartender, maybe a manager? Smelled horrible. God awful. Rotten breath and BO. He shouldn’t be serving beers to people with rancid smells coming off him. He also just stood around while we had things we were in need of. Some of the worst service I’ve had.
The beer was fine, some tasted skunky which we would have told the bartender but he never came back over.
I don’t know if ownership changed, or what, but it really took a substantial drop from what it was last June. If ownership hasn’t changed, maybe consider bringing back some of the older items to your menu. Also consider a hygiene talk with your staff.

Outstanding pizza, but extremely disappointing I can’t get a Diet Coke or Pepsi to go with it. Trivia on Thursday has 4 rounds and an audio round. 2/4 weeks there was an entire round of music questions in addition to the audio round which is ridiculously weighted against someone with sports, history, geography, etc, knowledge.

The service has always been great and they have an extensive tap list with a good variety of styles of beer and a decent food menu with subs, paninis, and pizza. The only reason I gave 4 stars to the atmosphere is because I am always cold when I'm there. That might just be me though. Update summer 2025 Still 5 stars overall. This brewery still has great service and a huge beer list with several varieties of beers which is great for a person like me that doesn't like most beers, but they always have something I'll drink. They usually have at least one or more fruity or sour beers or a cider that I will like. My husband likes IPAs and they always have a large choice. This time I wasn't cold inside so that's a plus! My only complaint now is that they changed the food vendor and unfortunately I can't really comment on it because I can't eat most of it. A lot of pizza, hot dogs and french fries. My husband likes the pizza and I do not. So, we come here just for the great beer and the always great service. 😎

Vegetarian options: They do have a few vegetarian options like Vegetarian Caprese Panini as well as a few pizza choices with no meat. You can also get a side salad and a couple of other side options that are meatless.
Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed and welcome but it is more adult oriented.

The best pizza in NH, by far. As a huge pizza snob from New Haven, I’ve been woefully disappointed by the offerings in NH and MA. Who would’ve thought a brewery could fill that void? It’s thin crust excellence and amazing flavor. The beers are excellent with a heavy hand towards IPAs. Highly recommend the mortadella pizza, it is outstanding. The pizza oven is right in the middle of the dining area, so plan to smell like pizza when you leave. We will absolutely be back for more pizza and beers!

My wife and I swung into kettlehead on main this evening on a whim. The staff(Chloe, Dakota, Shelby, and Trevor on the pizza oven) were absolutely incredible and worked very smoothly together. In fact I couldn't tell you who our "server" was because they worked together so seamlessly that we'd give one person our order and someone else would already be pouring it.
Also, the hot honey pepperoni pizza was amazing. Possibly best pizza in town. We look forward to visiting again.
Delicious beer and pizza! Very impressed. Would definitely recommend.

If you want to feel like an obtrusive inconvenience while paying $10 for French fries, then Kettlehead is the place for you! In nearly 50 years of walking the planet I've never had an experience like I had at Kettlehead and hope never to again. Our server's name was James based on the receipt, which is all I have to go on since he never introduced himself. I can't stress this enough - the perpetual feeling was as if we had gone into someone's home uninvited and started ordering things. "What do you recommend for an IPA?" was treated like I had brought unwanted political solicitation. "We'd like to move inside on account of the incessant wasps dive bombing us" was met with the gracious understanding I would have expected if instead I had informed James that I had no way to pay - an exasperated sigh and an eye roll. After going 15 minutes without even seeing James after moving inside, an attempt to garner attention by raising a hand and trying to make eye contact with a smile was met with a shrug and a look as if to say "um, yeah, I'm obviously in the middle of something. Jerk." My girlfriend put it best, "I was uncomfortable thinking about the fact that I wanted to order something. The whole experience was uncomfortable.". I have NEVER stiffed (not tipped) a server, and I didn't here either. But I have never before really considered it. Please know - this wasn't an issue with the timeliness of service because they were short-staffed or surprisingly busy. This was top to bottom 100% rudeness.
I had never been to kettlehead before, and had heard mixed reviews. After leaving kettlehead we went across the street to odd fellows and had the complete opposite experience, which I'll also leave a review for. I would never again go to Kettlehead, and neither should you. I'm offended that I have to give this place a single star, it's 5 more than it deserves.

There is everything to like about this place, but the beer is what you're here for. So far I've tried about 4 NEIPAs and each one was excellent, though The Agent is still the favorite. Service was very friendly and efficient. We had the Veggie pizza which was excellent though it should have had more arugula. Our salad was very fresh and the ranch dressing was a bright spot. Looking forward to a return visit.

3 trips there pizza was fantastic… 4th trip picked up 2 pizzas to go for the Pats game …. Straight garbage. I won’t be back. It was inedible. Consistency is everything in the pizza game. Very very disappointed it was going to be my spot on Sundays.
