| - 3.5 stars. I checked out Saucy Brew Works during lunch. I've been trying to get to these "new" Ohio City pizza spots.
Overall it was a pleasant experience. I was there a bit after the lunch crowd and just sat at the bar, where you fill out a paper slip with your order (size, sauce, toppings). When trying a new pizza place, I generally just go plain cheese or pepperoni. I like to know where the place is starting from as a baseline before venturing into any "specialty" pies they may offer.
In this case I ordered both, a medium cheese and a medium pepperoni (I could order a large half and half because their large oven was not available).
I thought the pizza was good. A little reminiscent of a frozen pizza, but not in a bad way (if that makes sense, which I admit it really doesn't). I can't quite put my finger on it though. The crust was pretty good, and I liked the red sauce quite a bit too. Here again though, the sauce was sorta spaghetti sauce-ish and not so much pizza sauce-ish (at least that's what I thought). But in the end I thought it was pretty good, and if there were anything in particular that I liked about it, it was the sauce, even though I compared it to spaghetti sauce.
I didn't have a chance to try any of their brew offerings, but it seems as thought they have a nice variety. I will definitely go back to try some of them and to try one of their specialty pies too. From what I understand, that's what this place is really more about; the specialties.
For me, it's a great place to stop four lunch as it's close to my office, and the food and service was worth having again. I'll be back, and I'll let you know what I think about their other offerings.
