About this place

Jerry Meyer has turned the ground floor of the northern house, one of two crumbling old houses, into a surprisingly large kitchen; the seating area is in the southern house, a couple of dozen brown Formica-topped tables with cafeteria-style chairs. A couple of big television screens offer news and sports programming. The outdoor patio, aka the beer garden, provides additional seating and a smoking area.
The interstice between the houses is a very roomy waiter station, with a window onto the dining room, where you can sit bar-style while you're waiting for your to-go order.
The restaurant has only been open about a month and still smells of new wood. It hasn't yet acquired that indefinable pizzeria aroma that develops only over time, the components of which include garlic, the smoke of slightly charred crust and perhaps a measure of good fellowship.
Music on the sound system consists mostly of classic rock. A colleague suggested it might still need a pool or foosball table to really give it atmosphere, but that would cramp the available seating.
Meyer's menu start with a range of specialty pizzas, 10, 13 or 16 inches, including Andouille Sausage & Caramelized Onion ($12.89, $14.89, $18.89), Caramelized Onion & Gouda ($10.89, $12.89, $16.89) and the Bellissimo Pie (12 inches, deep-dish and double-crusted, topped with Cajun sausage, mozzarella, onion, bacon, fresh mushrooms, onions and green bell peppers, $16.39).
