Went on a last-minute whim, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The wait was long but absolutely worth it….The koshihikari arancini were crisp on the outside and creamy inside, the Taleggio Scarpinocc was rich and silky with the perfect balance of cheese and sauce, and the mais pizza had a smoky sweetness that paired beautifully with the charred crust. We ended with the velvety, indulgent dark chocolate budino. The PERFECT finish! A good portion of the menu is vegetarian, and everything was incredibly flavorful. Highly recommend! Flour + Water Pizza Shop This restaurant has a special place in our hearts as fur parents! We dined outside with our dog, and the staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The pizza was fantastic — hot from the oven with a perfectly crispy thin crust. I loved that the pepperoni wasn’t too salty and the cheese had a beautiful melt. The drinks we ordered came in bottles, which made them a bit pricey, but overall, it was worth it for the experience. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, and the outdoor area is perfect if you want to enjoy a meal with your furry friend. We’ll definitely be back to try more pizza flavors! 🐾🍕 So I did not actually eat here. I ordered it through DoorDash or whatever service. That’s a lie, my mom ordered it for me. I cannot comment on their service or environment but I’m sure it is pretty good. I liked the wings. They had a great sauce on them and cooked well. I also liked the pizza. We got three pizzas and all were great. The dough is really good and the pizza is prepared how I usually like my pizza. That is thin but then a crunchy and thicker crust. Toppings and pizza was good. I’m pretty sure they do pasta as well which I should have tried. I like Italian food so I might be a bit bias towards this one. Anyways, solid place. I’m writing this a day later so I’m trying my best to remember. I am sitting outside a Thai place so we’ll see how this goes. Great food.

Went for a birthday party and was pleasantly surprised at how full I got because everything was so good and I kept wanting to eat more pasta until I couldn’t. Food was paired with wine for a lil extra but well worth it. Staff was very attentive and kept the meals coming! Would recommend this place for sure!

From the wait staff, all the way to the chefs, you can tell a lot of care and thought was put into each and every aspect of the meal. We loved every bite and am counting the days until we can be back!! Also heard their pizzerias are phenomenal so looking for a chance to visit one of those soon too!
