Merchants Wood Fired Pizza & Bistro

A perfect early evening on the patio under the vines! My group of 3 each enjoyed a speciality cocktail and meals! Pizza definitely can be shared but reheats nicely in the air fryer.

Great establishment, on the smaller side, but it doesn't take away from anything when you actually dine there. Food is amazing, service is top notch from the hostess to the servers, everyone plays a role, and they do it extremely well. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food and the fact that the majority is home-made! It's definitely a place to check out for a quiet night.

I had the best Alfredo I have ever eaten. It was absolutely delicious!

I liked this place. I've been meaning to check it out and was glad i did. I took my 16 year old daughter out for a rather quick and light dinner on a whim last Friday. It was a gorgeous night in June around 6:30 pm. The parking lot was full so I parked on the side street for free about a 1/2 block away. Outside seating was full and some larger parties had about a 10-15 min wait for inside but a table for two was ready so we took it inside. It was pretty busy but noise level was not an issue. Several servers were moving around at good speed and they all looked like they knew what they were doing. Our server was nice and knew the menu well, however we knew we only wanted to share a cheese pizza going in so that is what we ordered. The food came out pretty fast despite the busyness of the pace and it was pretty good. Not the BEST wood fired pizza I've ever had but def worth the 17.99 price point. The one lemonade and beer I ordered bumped the overall price up but I was happy with the food and the experience we got for what I paid. We were in and out in about 45 min which is what we wanted but could have easily stayed longer for sure, depending on what you want (inside, outside, drinks at bar, inexpensive pizza or more expensive entrees, etc. ). Diners included families and couples of all ages and the menu had something for everyone depending on what you wanted to pay. I will be going back for sure and will order something a little more than pizza next time. I could see coming here 3-4 times a year and this becoming a go-to place for my family. It was versatile, fits nicely into the neighborhood, and the name is spot on.

Really liked the place. Reservations are a must do.

Great experience. We went with another couple and sat outside. Great ambience, service and food. We only have a 4 instead of 5 because of the cost of the bill. For where this is located and the cost of living in the area. It shouldn't be as expensive to enjoy a couple specialty drinks and an entree.

Best Salmon Cesar Salad I've had in a long time!!! Totally recommend Merchants!!

The calamari was delicious, and the pizza was quite good. Service was also solid.

Food and service are always really good but every time my wife and I come here the waitresses seem to be overwhelmed, maybe they are short staffed? We are always happy with our food. Portions are generous. We love the Funghi mushroom pizza.

Went for pizza and ended up ordering one of their special dishes. It was outstanding. Excellent job 👏 👍

Love the look and feel of this restaurant. Pizza was great! Friendly service. Will definitely come back.
