    The pizza is the best, crust unbeatable. Love the salads. Have not tasted a better crust anywhere.

    The last few visits to Area Four, the pizzas have been soggy and limp. Flavors are good, but perhaps crusts need to be a bit thicker so that they’re chewy but not limp.

    Love Area Four! Great service, great food, and outstanding beer list. We’ve been there twice this week alone. Great outdoor area too - right by open green space.

    The food was OK, and for the price definitely not the best. Although we didn’t get pizza, which the restaurant is known for. The service was great, and patio was cute.

    We were a group of 5 and sat outside which was perfect for a summer evening. The wait staff was outstanding in their friendliness and helpfulness. We were greeted cheerfully and Daniel in particular was super nice and thoughtful, going the extra mile -- for example, when we asked about chili peppers for the pizzas, he brought out an entire array of options (chili peppers, garlic flakes, hot honey) which made our delicious pizzas even more so. They also arranged for a nice dessert with a candle for the birthday celebrant. The only thing we can't rave about were the cocktails, which were fine but nothing to write home about (but that wasn't the main reason we came here so didn't affect the overall experience).

    The pizza was good but the service was the one of the worst I’ve experienced. Due to brining our dog (which I noted in our reservation), we weren’t seated until 15 minutes after our reservation time. Our server didn’t check back on us to order for 10 minutes and when I called her over she was visibly annoyed and asked what we wanted in an annoyed tone. The pizza took around 25 minutes to come and to make things worse employees kept bringing orders to our table that were not ours. People sat after us that ordered after us were served first. We were genuinely considering leaving when were brought the wrong pizza and thought that the waitress must have forgotten our order. Thankfully the pizza eventually came. The managers of the restaurant were very nice and helpful. Another plus is that they validate parking for the technology square parking garage nearby. I think if you want to enjoy Area Four pizza, you’re better just ordering takeout.

    The cauliflower soup was just so-so. Very thick and not very tasty. The mushroom pizza sauce was also a little heavy. Cheese pizza was great.

    Yet again I have tried Area 4 and been deeply disappointed. The flavors never work together. Food is often overseasoned with overwhelming, off-putting flavors. It's as if they try to be fancy but just make lousy dishes. This was try number three and I will not be going back.
