The food and drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. The drinks weren't watered down at all, and the food was well seasoned. I was surprised when our bill only came to $70. You get your money's worth with their portion sizes. As a vegeterian, I was very happy with their menu. Everything was labeled based on dietary needs. I enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and the grandma pizza.

Went to this upscale pizza place recently, and even though the place was a little loud — like “everyone’s having one too many cocktails on a Friday night” loud — it still delivered hard.
The atmosphere is classy. Dim lighting, polished wood, fancy menu fonts — you know the deal. But with that upscale vibe comes noise. Not annoying enough to leave, just enough to make you lean in a bit when talking. Honestly, it kinda added to the energy, like the restaurant knew it was popular and wasn’t gonna apologize for it.
Now let’s talk about the bread. My god. Absolute masterpiece. Fresh out the oven, warm, soft center, crust that hit the perfect balance between chewy and crisp. I’m not exaggerating — I’d go back just for that. The pizza was solid too, don’t get me wrong, but the bread stole the entire show like it had main character energy.
Service was quick, friendly, and actually attentive even with the packed house. They kept things moving and didn’t act stressed, which I respect.
Bottom line: 4.6/5 — upscale, a little loud, but absolutely worth it for that god-tier bread.

This place is really good if you are looking for authentic Italian food. Each and every item we ordered were 5/5. They made efforts to ensure our requirements and allergies are taken care of. Lot of vegetarian options. The vibe of the place is positive. Lucas was our server. Very friendly and welcoming

Great atmosphere and service. Bread was incredible, meatball appetizer was good, but Pasta was a bit over cooked on the main course. Definitely recommend a reservation on a Friday/saturday. On a Friday night parking was very difficult, had to park 3 blocks away. They should look into a valet option.

Not only does this local, cozy, historic wood fired pizza place have free unlimited sourdough bread with butter, but they also offer a variety of crispy and delicious pizzas as well as salads and other appetizers. The service is extremely kind and welcoming that it almost feels like home. The two-floored design feels so authentic and cozy but the food, music, drinks, and vibe are for sure the main stars of the show. The prices are also very reasonable with a single pizza pie costing between $15-$20. When I went at around 3pm on a Saturday there was still a short 1-2 minute wait. Very popular for sure! Highly recommend!

It was my first time and we were 10 people celebrating a wedding anniversary on a Tuesday after 1:00pm. We had a reservation. The table was not ready when we arrived and had to wait 10 to 15 minutes. They said we would be upstairs and ended up by the bar towards the parking lot... which seemed too small because all the party guests had to park across the street (gravel abandoned lot).
Service was really slow but the waiter was nice and repeated every single order and we had no problem with the food orders.
We asked for a few appetizers, wings, rice balls and meatballs. They were all good, particularly the rice balls. Then we had a few sandwiches, stone oven pizzas, soup, risotto and pasta. Everyone was happy with their choice and their food. The quantities were normal... and you can choose between half and full servings for some of the entrees. That helps with your budget when you order halves. No free refill on sodas because they use glass bottles. One thing I appreciated that is listed on the menu was what is homemade and it was a long list.
We did not try the desserts, so I am not sure what they offer. It's not listed on the menu.
Because the bar is in the middle and there is a partial second floor, the volume is important but unfortunately it can get loud. They have racks of split wood in different areas used as partitions and explain the name of the restaurant. Nice touch.
I would go back there on a date for example. Nice place to visit and enjoy food.

Well..check your server’s attitude first and we ordered 1 apptizer and 1 main dish but main dish didn't comes so I called server and asked and first he answered “why” not apology or let me check the kitchen. Even manager work and check each table? No good at all. After 40mins waiting got main dish pasta, pork smell crazy and noodle smell so bad. Don't order pasta this store. You gotta get food poisoning. I also immediately stop eating.

I’ve always had amazing meals at this restaurant. The food, service, and overall quality are excellent. However, the first impression at the entrance could be improved. The person who greets guests is always very cold and silent, which makes me feel quite uncomfortable every time I arrive. Once I get past that, everything else is fantastic! the waiters are friendly and full of energy, and the food is absolutely delicious!

Joseph (my FRIEND) and I can honestly say he’s one of the hardest workers at Woodstack! Even as his friend, I still notice how professional, fast, and helpful he is with everyone. He’s always running around making sure things get done and customers are happy. Super proud of him — definitely deserves recognition for how great he is at his job! He’s the best worker there and way better than the rest! 🍕
