I hate to do this. I really wanted Martin Street Pizza to be awesome and do well. I’ve wanted more cool places downtown and have actually given them more benefit of the doubt than I normally would. But my visit today was the nail in the coffin.

Stopped in friday with some friends for a bite and lunch-beers. I got the ceasar salad, which happened to be missing croutons, one of the 4 main ingredients in a ceasar. upon inquiry the waitress notified me that they were out. A bit of Information that would have been a helpful aid in my salad decision. When the pitcher of room-temp yuengling arrived, it failed to fill four pint glasses. And when we settled up, we discovered that the pricing broke down to over $4 a beer… for yuengling! So in essence, unlike every other restaurant and bar you’ve ever been to, your beer costs more when you order a pitcher at Martin Street Pizza. And it will be warm. And it won’t actually produce 4 standard size beers.

As sad as I am to say it, Martin Street Pizza has blown their chances to be in the list of cool downtown places to hit up for a beer or a bite to eat.
