Guests at the new restaurant will have the opportunity to enjoy five hand-crafted dough options, including Chicago Thick, Tavern Thin, Bottoms-Up Deep Dish, Gluten-Free, and an Ale-Infused dough that highlight the eleven specialty pizzas on the menu. Famous taproom starters such as the Sicilian Pepperoni Rolls and the one-of-a-kind Italian Nachos will also be sure to delight guests in North Kansas City. With a focus on local beer, 36 craft beers on tap and more than 100 craft beers available on the menu, the craft beer authority has something for everyone. A beer expert is always on staff and guests can complete the World Beer Tour and earn OC Bucks to spend on food and beverage savings.
