This is amazing pizza with a thin crust. As others have said, ordering pizza by the slice is a large piece, and they cut it St Louis style. The Cowtown was amazing. They have craft beers on tap, wine, and sodas on fountain. Seating can be a bit tough, though we hit timing right. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Fun atmosphere, the pizza was cooked perfectly and tasted so good. The marinara sauce may be my new favorite. The buffalo wings were great as well, rubbed and sauced very well. The service with friendly and everyone had a smile on their face. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quick, local pizza joint

I did two different slices.Slice #1...pineapple, Canadian bacon, cream cheese, bacon and onion slice was my favorite. Slice #2...The cow town minus the black olives and mushrooms was good too. Self serve drinks with free refills. Outdoor patio area was nice today with the games showing. Service was great and food arrived hot and fresh.

The pizza was delicious — flavorful, perfectly cooked, and super satisfying. What really surprised me, though, was the bread — absolutely amazing, soft but with just the right crunch. Great food, great vibes. Definitely a spot worth revisiting.

Waited almost 45 minutes for, at best, a mediocre sandwich. I realize it’s a pizza place but wanted to try their sandwiches since they offer on the menu. Pizza looked better, but 6 dollars for a slice of cheese is outlandish. I wasn't the only one to sacrifice my time. An elderly man and a couple others were waiting on their orders for at least the same amount of time. The elder ordered a slice of cheese pizza. Imagine working your whole life, retiring, and then having to wait more than 30 minutes for a $6 slice of cheese pizza. Straight comedy Feedback for owner: Why offer sandwiches? Ridiculous that this (see picture) and a bag of chips cost 11 dollars and almost 45 minutes of waiting. If you guys only do pizza well, just take sandwiches off the menu. Bottom line, fix your ordering system. The prioritization is messed up, people who walk in and order are taking it on the chin. Also if a slice is big and maybe worth the price (doubtful) maybe show the slice size at the entrance? Shouldn't have to walk into the dining area to see what you're getting. Edited: I actually came back to give another star because some people cared, but let me make things clear. I have updated the price (I did forget I tipped) Yes, it was not more than 45 minutes, but I entered the restaurant around 12 and left at 12:42, I know because I was checking my watch the entire time. I was not made aware that MY order had been refunded, it was only made clear that one customer that vocalized his complaints would receive a refund. A matter of fact is that the transaction is still processing, so I may come back and edit this review if that does go through. Also, another thing I didn't even mention the first time around, you made my order wrong. The cashier asked which bread I wanted and I picked sour dough. The sandwich was not made with sourdough bread. I wasn't even going to specify bread but since it was offered I did, and it was made wrong. Yes, the review was emotional because people generally only get an hour long lunch break and would not like to spend it waiting around. I acknowledge I added some style to the review, but I would suggest taking the feedback objectively, as owner, and not getting emotional in the response. I'm still increasing the review a star because it's nice that some of the staff do care about the restaurant. Wish you all the best, but my original points still stand.
