Parties 20+ will be subject to a table minimum of $25/person per hour.The foundation for the pizza at Stoked Pizza Company comes from meticulously studying the ingredients and techniques used to produce our favorite classic pizza styles and highlighting the strengths of each in what we make. We prefer a crust that is soft and light on the inside with a crisp outer shell that can stand up on its own. We want our ingredients and topping combinations to provide an explosion of flavor. To achieve this we use extremely hot ovens along with carefully researched dough formulations, tomato varieties, and cheese blends, sparing no expense and taking no shortcuts.

I liked the design of the menu—lots of really interesting options to temp us and the execution in the kitchen was very good. Service was also a plus. The music volume was so loud we had difficulty hearing our server and each of the four dishes we ordered arrived at the table lukewarm. It was a positive experience overall and I would go back, but I would only recommend it with caveats.

This was the sixth or seventh year we have had our holiday lunch at Harvest. The food was superb and the wait staff is wonderful and gracious - especially as we litter the table with wrapping paper and a gift exchange over dessert. Harvest has not disappointed us yet! The burgers are always amazing, the Moules Frittes are the best I have ever had, cocktails are delicious and inventive (all except the Pilot which was sent back by 2 of us for being too syrupy), and the duck special was tender and delicious. Bon appetite!
