Fantastic Sit-Down Restaurants - Walking Distance
Here’s a list of some of our favorite local restaurants to have a nice, sit down meal.
This place has fantastic, wood-fired pizza and a wonderful ambiance. I’d highly recommend ordering the garlic bread (not on the menu), which is INCREDIBLE. And you can’t go wrong with any of the food here.

The BEST pizza in the entire city, in my opinion. Highly recommend the Cheesus Christ with pepperoncini and the Beesting.
NOTE: Roberta’s usually has a long wait. If you want to beat the crowds, I recommend arriving right when they open at 11 am for brunch on the weekend.
