Pizza Cassette, our full-time food partner, is serving up their delicious wood-fired artisanal pizzas every Wed-Thur starting 3pm and Fri-Sun at 12pm. Their menu includes many unique thin-crust wood-fired red pizzas & white pizzas, one or more salad options, occasional sandwich specials and appetizers, and more coming soon. Please note that outside food is no longer allowed here when Pizza Cassette is serving here Wednesdays thru Sundays. On Mondays & Tuesdays when they are not serving, our customers are welcome to bring in outside food such as take-out, food delivery, or packing your own picnic. That said, the Pizza Cassette pizzas are truly amazing and worth the visit.
