Pies & Pints

We have found a new casual date-night favorite.  Pies and Pints:  located in Lincoln's Haymarket.  This is a fun little pizza pub located in the basement below Maggie's Vegetarian Wraps.  They have an excellent selection of beer and the pizza is unique, without being too weird.  Dustin always orders the "Flaming Head" pizza and I get the "Wisconsin's Best," which is about the exact opposite of Dustin's spicy choice.
The atmosphere is different than most places in the Haymarket.  It is sports-themed, but not annoyingly so and has a nice amount of televisions.  We have never been there when it was busy, but I can imagine they run out of table space pretty quickly.  The first few times we went, the service was great; fast and friendly.  But the last time was a different story.  I'm pretty sure our server was stoned He couldn't seem to focus on what we were saying and had to come back to retake our order because by the time he got back to the kitchen, he had forgotten it.
If you are looking for a place that has good, cheap pizza and beer where you can find a tv to watch, try Pies and Pints.

The Great Pizza Debate!

This has been a highly debated list.  There were so many great places to choose from; this could have easily been a Top 10.  There was also a recent Jeff’s Top Five in the Lincoln Journal Star devoted to pizza.

Dustin’s List:

1. Supreme - Danish Bakery, Dannenbrog
2. Pesto - Mangia Italiana, Omaha
3. Philly Cheesesteak - Cappy’s, Lincoln
4. Buffalo Chicken - Spikes, Lincoln
5. Vegetarian with Sausage - Isles Pub and Pizza, Lincoln

Autumn’s List:

3. Thunder Pie - Thunderhead Brewing Company, Kearney
