A riverside sports-bar spot where crispy pizzas, saucy wings, and cold drinks pair with TVs and a laid-back crowd.
Fire & Ice is where you go when you want more atmosphere than your living room offers on game night. The crust has a good crunch, toppings run hearty, and the wing sauces are a draw on their own. It’s an easy meet-up choice if you’re splitting a couple of pizzas with friends, catching a game, and lingering over another round while the kids share a pie at the table.

Takeout standby
Gionino's Pizzeria

Gionino’s is ideal when half the group wants pizza and the other half would happily live on fried chicken. The pizza leans hearty, with a slightly thicker crust and plenty of cheese, while the chicken and JoJo potatoes make it easy to turn a basic pizza night into a full spread. Locals like it for quick weeknight pickups and low-fuss weekend dinners that still feel like a treat.
