We’d highly recommend the Brightside! We ordered a pizza, meatball sub, and a salad…all of it was delicious! The white sauce was super impressive. The kids loved playing video games and the alcohol selection was top notch. The owners were attentive, accommodating, and fun. Try this place, it does not disappoint.

JJ and Ashley have created an amazing pizza joint to come enjoy our towns friendly funky vibe. This place has an amazing atmosphere, great food, big beer selection, tons of TVs for sports games, ridiculously cool and friendly staff and free arcade games for the kids! Do yourself a favor and get the RAJ STYLE pizza 😎 and a side of meatballs….you can thank me later 😉. Don’t pass this place up, stop by, say hi, and see for yourself what all the fuss is about.

SUCH nice people! Wow, what a great team of chill, friendly people. We are out-of-towners, just passing through and were attracted to this gem of a pizza pub by the look of their pizza pics, right here on google. We were not disappointed! Great rootbeer - the best in the country, we're told! But the pizza tho...loaded with toppings, tasty crust and served piping hot. This is definitely the spot you're looking for.

Every time I come here, the food turns out fresh and hot no matter how busy they are! The employees have a great work dynamic, and you can tell they really enjoy their job and enjoy working together. They’re so on top of things and supportive of one another. I’m a little picky with pizza but their pizza is never greasy, medium thickness (not paper thin and not super doughy), and they don’t skimp on toppings. I’m glad we have this place in our little town!

The staff and owner were outstanding helping to make family night a great success and honoring one of our own for his birthday. Truly special and it won't be forgotten. The food and service bar none was exceptional. My party was taken care of quickly along with having our needs taken care of immediately even though they were busy. I hope everyone near and far will come for delicious food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service.
