My husband absolutely loved his pepperoni and burrata pizza. The Gaia pizza I ordered was a wonderful vegetarian option—full of flavor and beautifully done. We also tried the Ollie without sausage; it was good, but it didn’t quite compare to the thoughtfully crafted vegetarian choice.
The state flour salad was beautifully done too!
All in all, we were extremely impressed and would wholeheartedly recommend this place.
I don’t think I could’ve asked for a better experience at State Flour Pizza Co, and that includes the 30 minute wait time for a table. This is the kind of place that hires the neighborhood teens in the summers while still taking the time to source all fresh ingredients.
Consensus for favorite was split between the mushroom-sausage and green goddess pizzas, but the margherita and hot honey pepperoni were almost as good. Apple salad gave some much needed freshness to the table.
This pizza place is as perfect for a family dinner as it is for a first date, and is just as likely to have a table of college friends as it is a post-conference debrief. That’s because it’s designed for the community, so it attracts the community.
DESSERT: So excited to see they had a vanilla PANNA COTTA, with honey & fresh strawberries atop served in a small yogurt-sized glass cup. It was a little softly set but felt chilled still. We should’ve ordered a whole one each, next time!
PIZZA:
The crust was good & narrow, blistered some, firm enough on bottom not soaked thru nor soggy. No thick square pizzas on menu, we wanted a thinner variety. They offer a thin medium round single pie with 6 slices; we both ate 2 slices each & shared a salad & dessert. We loved trying these 2 specialty-topping combos on a single pie as a half & half, kindly suggested by our server (thanks!):
– HALF “OLLiE” PIZZA (caramelized leeks, crimini mushrooms, nut free pesto, sausage, garlic confit, mozzarella, grana padano (a white pizza $24, lots of tiny chopped toppings, more filling than the LoLo below, loved both) and the 2nd half…
– HALF the “LO LO” PIZZA (Pineapple, Hot Sopressata, Goat horn Peppers, Tomato Sauce, Fontina, Mozzarella, Grana Padano, fresh Basil (a red pizza, loved this sweet-hot elevated Hawaiian $24)
We’d get the same half&half again, or may bring home a 2nd pizza, we ate 2 slices each
SALAD: Endive Apple $13 with 3 huge thin-crisp prosciutto slices: Endive, little gems, pink lady apples, crispy prosciutto, blue cheese cheese, pistachios, shallots, Tarragon vinaigrette. The house salad sounded unique & delicious too. .
APPETIZER:
Will try the BAKED RIGATONI & RICOTTA BOLOGNESE app next time.
EXPERIENCE:
It was 50° on a Wednesday January eve after 5p, so we sat upstairs where it was warmer & inviting on the loft overlooking the downstairs dining area & passersby outside on busy College Ave. It wasn’t busy as far as picking a table, & the service was great upstairs on this quiet evening. There’s a water station upstairs be our attentive server brought us waters without asking in nice mason jar style type-handled cups. Not a tv place, didn’t expect any. There were people picking up takehome orders, and a quiet bday gathering upstairs, a good area for private parties or a weekend gathering. Must return to have this pizza again 🙂
This isn’t your classic pizzeria—it’s better. Think: thin, crisp crusts, pitch-perfect ratios, and inventive, unfussy flavor combinations that reveal serious culinary intention. Every pie feels like the result of thoughtful experimentation, not trend-chasing or nostalgia.
If you’ve already made the rounds—Da Laura, Rose, Cheeseboard, Jupiter, Zachary’s, Summer Kitchen, even Nabloom’s—and still crave something new, this place will reset your expectations. It’s pizza stripped to essentials, elevated by quiet mastery.
No hype, no scene—just pizza that earns it. You’ll thank me.
