Not expensive, but great stone baked pizza place, best beer on tap, their desserts are really good too. My favorite is carrot cake and my daughter loves chocolate chip cookie that is served hot with ice cream.

They have awesome scones and breads, raspberry or cheese and ham scone just perfect for a Saturday morning, but must make it there before noon, because summer is a very busy time for them and they could be gone later! Also, they close early.
