David Riordan: Does it live up to the name? You bet. Pickled veggie slices (eat in only) topped with creme fraîche are incredible. So is the customer side keg.
Adam Loudermilk: Crust is great on all slices. The white is great, and try the veggie slice, there are some pickled surprises on top. Delish!
Time Out New York: Try the Chicken Parmesan: The crunchy, juicy fowl is topped with marinara, creamy house-made mozzarella and basil leaves. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011 Read more.
