Went here while traveling for work, and I was so pleased with the experience! It wasn’t too busy, but with Duke on fall break, that may be why. The staff were all very sweet and attentive. The beer and the attached kitchen were fantastic! As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe eating and drinking here. Great service, even better product and a lovely environment.

First time coming to this place and it was on point! The pizza was so good and reminded me of a classic stone oven New York pizza. Their beer selection had a nice variety of different taste for your palate preference. Defiantly would recommend going if you have never been before!

I was really excited about trying the pizza because I’ve heard great things. I ordered for takeout, the pizza was done way before the expected time I was given (I was on the way there from work and time it so it wouldn’t sit there too long). By the time I got home, my pizza was cold and I only live 4 minutes away. The sauce and cheese and crust are great, but my pizza was almost completely black on the bottom from being burnt. The garlic knots were great though!

The beer and pizza are really good, garlic knots are *ok* but the service is not great by any means. That goes for the bar & the kitchen. Luckily the food is mostly self service but the experience picking it up at the counter and asking for a side of ranch was met with an eye roll and a back turn. Otherwise it’s a great place to come hangout!

Brewery staff wasn't very friendly. I got a flight and a pizza to enjoy on the patio but there were a ton of flies, I was constantly brushing them away. Pizzeria staff was very nice tho! Beer and pizza were solid.

Solid beer, super fun atmosphere. True to form, we tried both IPA options, a west coast and white style, and really enjoyed both. In my commitment to leave my IPA comfort zone, we tried a flight with zero IPA representation (rye pale ale, mango wit, Belgian blonde, Pilsner). Standouts were the Mango Wit and Belgian Blonde. Also, the flight setup was super cute/fun/interesting/different (choose your adjective). All of the seating is outside, with a tiered patio/deck, making it a great spot to enjoy on a beautiful day. Covered seating on the patio/deck is heated, so don’t let the cold months keep you inside! There’s lots of space, so it’s a great spot for groups. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, which we love from a brewery - no pretension here! We didn’t order the pizza, but took a peek at other tables and it looked and smelled amazing. If logos are your thing, Ponysaurus has a great logo. Kudos on branding. PLUS: parking. We love to see it.

They have gluten free pizza and the crust is not some skinny flat little piece of cardboard cauliflower! They have gluten free drink options besides cider! Friendly service, easygoing atmosphere.

Great beer, surprisingly delicious and cheesy pizza, love the heaters while sitting on the balcony. Beer tenders very knowledgeable and friendly. Parking is manageable if not abundant. Love everything about this comfy, casual place to enjoy conversation and good brews.

Cool spot for grabbing a quick drink. Plenty of outdoor seating and good selection of beers and wine. There is also a pizza place nearby/partnered for delivery if you want food. I like the decor and vibe of the place, very relaxed/laid back. And the staff was positive/friendly.
