Had a blast here, place was busy but service was still fast while also keeping good customer and good quality food.
We had a specialty pizza and a pepperoni pizza, a specialty tater tots poteen and a peanut butter pie and it was absolutely all fantastic.
The place is a little small but they do have a service bar if you want to come in a sit with some friends and have a few drinks while also being kid friendly with some kids menu items to choose from if they don’t want Pizza.
The only suggestions I can make would be I was never asked for a refill on drinks and they gave me the wrong pizza. They fixed this quick and easily and gave me the correct pizza and even with the mistake with the Pizza being a small not large and having no sauce, it was still fantastic and they allowed us to keep it. The last one would be while I waited I also had a little bit of an issue on where to go at the front as I could see others were confused too. I’d recommend putting a sign out by the front telling people to go to the desk to be seated.
Other than those little minor issues that are easy things to improve on, I was impressed and very much would enjoy going with my wife to have a few drinks.
Oh and I’d also recommend adding a few more appetizers to your menu that are more bar related, like wings or pretzels (anything salty will help sell more drinks too) and if they were on the menu, I’m blind and need to read better.

Very friendly Pizzaria and pub. The pizza was very good and arrived pretty swiftly. The server was efficient and pleasant. We arrived there early for dinner, and by the time we left the parking lot was almost full. This indicates it’s a popular place, as it was a Thursday. We will return!

We had a wonderful time sitting at the bar reconnecting with former neighbors and meeting new people. Very friendly staff. Service was excellent. We had the Fish and Chips with the freshest coleslaw I’ve ever had. The French Fries were amazing. We also had the Hawaiian Pizza. We will definitely go back.

Great new local restaurant. The pizza has definitely improved since opening, but doesn’t quite hold up to Otto or other local pizza places (for me, the crust leaves something to be desired).
That being said, the rest of the menu is really excellent, and I appreciate the salads and vegetable apps especially. I found the burger to be ok, but really enjoyed the fish and chips. Their shaved potato French fries are great, and so, blessedly, are the wings.
Definitely check it out!

This is such a gem in Cumberland! They had great, quick service and brought out food piping hot. The pulled pork nachos were delicious and just slightly spicy with some fresh Fresno chili peppers on top. We tried the special pizza, the Bees Knees, with a 5-cheese base and ricotta, peppers, and a hot honey drizzle, and it was so good! With the nachos and large pizza, we had leftovers, so I bet the small pizza and nachos would be the perfect amount for two people. Can’t wait to come back here again!

Stopped in for the first time, the atmosphere is top notch. The new owners renovated the space and really opened it up, including a nice new large bar! The food & staff were wonderful and we will definitely be back! Must try.

So happy Rise has opened its doors! These are good, local people providing approachable, high quality eats for the community. Came in today after work to check it out, enjoyed a couple drinks and left with an order of the broccolini and a small pizza. I’m a fan of any veggies on a menu, there were a couple options and the broc was fantastic. Went with a small “Rise” pizza, a simple red-mozz-basil pie, to highlight the crust. Glad I did, they have Geaghan Bros make a special matly red ale (on tap) for their dough that really elevates the whole thing. They also have a vegan cheese option, so I’ll be back with my dairy-sensitive friend.
