Pies and Pints (Lincoln)
It was with great dismay when I learned that Suite One closed. It was truly the best pizza in town and a lot of Lincolnites probably never knew it existed. Now a new pizza place, Pies and Pints, tries to make work a spot which seems doomed to failure because most people don’t even know it exists.
To get to this place, you have to go downstairs, and you have to see the stairs. Once you find the stairs, go down the stairs. Then open the door. You’ll be then inside the restaurant.
What’s new is a lot of televisions and the carpet. And instead of Chicago-style pizza, you get this:
What's the secret ingredient?
Although what comes out is a slightly thicker and softer crust than I ultimately prefer, the result is a pretty tasty pizza. The sauce and dough are made from scratch. The sauce has a very unique flavor, a secret ingredient, which is not beer. It might be white pepper, which I normally don’t like, but in small quantities can be tastefully done. All I know is that the sauce has honey for a natural sweetener instead of sugar, but it’s not really a sweet sauce like some of the franchise pizzas.
It was good and cheap with friendly service. I wish them luck in a location that seems to stifle success.
