Unreal pizza, justin is a pizza ninja. Heavily suggest anyone in the area to check it out. Beats any New England pie. And the beers are great too. Cheers!

Impossible to review if your phone is constantly busy. Don't waste your time with this place

Unbeatable vibes in the Mt Snow area. Make an effort to go here every time I’m in the area. Phenomenal beer and pizza. Plenty of seating during busy times of the year too

Bob Brown

Solid beer. Great pizza and foxon park and live music. Whats NOT to love

Jeffrey Collura

Used to be better. Good New Haven style pizza , but man do they skimp on the topping and for 25-30 bucks a pie I could have had two large pizzas at any other good place in town. This is the pizza I got tonight….pretty disappointing! And then the bar tender was wearing a Yankees shirt.Oof!

We had a great experience this weekend and highly recommend it. Mark and Travis made us feel so welcome and it was so fun and relaxing staying two nights. The rooms are super comfy and clean and you can tell care and pride has gone into the furnishing and decorating. The towels and comforters were so much nicer than what hotels and inns usually provide.
The location is awesome- right next to the river and walking distance to shops and restaurants. The pizza and beer were excellent and so was the afro cuban jazz we heard last night- world class music in an intimate setting. Highly recommend for setting, accommodation, comfort and hospitality. Five stars🌟

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Craft Beer & Pizza Heaven!

If you’re a fan of craft beer and pizza done right, do yourself a favor and get to this place ASAP.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming — think cozy neighborhood vibes with just the right amount of energy. The beer list? Phenomenal. You can tell these folks care about quality.

But let’s talk about the pizza. I’ve had my fair share of pies, but this was next-level. Thin, crispy crust with just enough chew, fresh toppings, and flavor combos that show real creativity. The absolute standout was the ricotta topping — creamy, rich, and almost cloud-like in texture. It melted into every bite and elevated the whole experience. I never knew ricotta could be this magical.

Staff were super knowledgeable, gave great suggestions and you could tell they were genuinely passionate about what they do.

Whether you’re a beer nerd, a pizza purist, or just hungry for something memorable, this spot delivers. Already planning our next visit!

Awesome spot, awesome people, awesome pizza, awesome beer. Go take a dip in the river behind the alehouse!

This place blew me away. I wasn't expecting much given the price, but as soon as I walked through the door I knew that I had stumbled on to a great deal at a great place.

Automated check-in, clean room, pizza was amazing, beer was great, and the mattress and pillows were the best I've ever experienced.

The rooms are substantially better than the pictures they have posted. Do they need a coat of crisp white paint and some pergo floors? Hell yes they do. Will the price triple and I'll still gladly stay there? Hell yes I will!

Go stay a couple nights at what is really a pretty magic spot while you can still get it for such a deal. You will not be disappointed.

Haven’t tried sleeping here but their brews are delicious, the pizza is amazing and the location is splendid. Highly recommend a stop here. It’s kid friendly, baby friendly, doggo friendly, truly couldn’t ask for more.

Visited Wilmington for a wedding and stopped in this bar during our stay. Our experience here alone made us want to move to Vermont. Mark and his staff are the kindest, most welcoming people. The vibe of the bar itself is incredible, rustic and warm with a beautiful view of the creek. Excellent beer selection and truly some of the best thin crust pizza I’ve ever had (and I’m from New York). If you’re visiting you have to stop in.

Best pizza I’ve had in Vermont hands down. Highly recommend to anyone in the area but also worth driving for

This is a review solely for the pizza. I don’t often leave reviews, but this might be the best pizza in Vermont. It takes cues from the New Haven style, with a tangy sauce, plenty of pecorino, and a crispy char. Crust crumbs were falling into my lap, that’s how crispy and tender it was. They even do $13 pies on Wednesdays. This may be the best pizza you can find in north of CT on 91

Our search for the best pizza in VT has ended - this place is it!

1) Thin, chewy, crispy crust
2) Just the right amount of sauce - San marzano, if ya know, ya know!
3) Perfect distribution of toppings.
4) Reheat value = 👏👏👏

Fully acknowledging as I write this that we may be slightly obsessive pizza geeks - but pizza is serious. ;)

A few other items to note:

Friendly + welcoming atmosphere
Attentive and genuine bartender/server
Wide beverage selection
Very clean
Did I mention the pizza? 🍕❤️

Will he back ASAP for more and we now want to try the hot dogs - they will probably be epic too.
