Mia & Pia's Pizzeria & Brewhouse

To call this place a pizzeria and brew house leads you believe it is a much higher scale place than it is.  Yes, they have a very good beer selection and pizza, but the ambiance is low-end/kitschy.  90's video games, 'claw' games, mismatched chairs, and hanging lights made of cow milkers (which many of the lights were burned out).  If you want good food, and love the experience of a local's place, this is a great place for dinner.

Just keep driving.

This place looked a little sketchy, but my husband and I thought we'd give it a chance because it had good reviews, which turned out to be a mistake of monumental proportions.

First of all, the place was filled with all the local weirdos, dressed up in Dr. Seuss hats and 80's punk hair. It was loud, crowded and obnoxious.

We ordered hot wings, fries, and a Hawaiian pizza. Wings were okay but pretty lackluster. The fries were undercooked and entirely joyless. The pizza tasted like a bad frozen pizza. Seriously, how do you mess up Hawaiian?

In all fairness, the staff was nice. Still, unless you're a local and have nothing better to do on Friday night, you're better off at McDonalds. If you're passing through, keep driving. There is hope a few hours away in Eugene.

Wow... this pizza is GOOD!

The owner's daughter Kelsey (I'm assuming it's the owner's daughter... I know it's her family's business) - was one of the sweetest people I've ever met.  

The crust is absolutely amazing, and the quality of the ingredients is top notch.

If I wasn't traveling (road trip) with my 13 year old son, I would definitely have ventured into the "bar" section of the establishment, where I was told they have some incredible beers on tap.  Maybe next time.

Anyway, thank you Kelsey!
