This is your sign to head on over to Wooden Paddle. Tonight we devoured two pizzas and could’ve eaten two more 🤣. This cozy little wood fired pizza place is nestled on the corner of Stephen and McCarthy and is full of delicious food and drinks to rave about. Service is quick and we’ve never had a bad experience since they’ve opened. #supportlocal

This place is absolutely amazing! Excellent service our server was very knowledgeable and the Manager Trevor was very welcoming. So many great options our favorites were the goat cheese arancini, buzzkill, wild mushroom orecchiette and every pizza place salad. Parmesan cheese on an espresso martini was also amazing (sounds weird I know but it's a must try). We will be returning soon this place is a gem!

Wooden Paddle for the win! I have a pretty serious dairy allergy (weird that I chose to come to a pizza place, I know), but I saw that they had a cashew dairy free ricotta option. I figured it would be worth a try! Since developing my allergy, I haven’t been able to indulge in a pizza that tastes anywhere similar to a “real pizza”, but let me tell you that Wooden Paddle served me the best dairy free pizza I have ever had. It seriously almost brought tears to my eyes, lol! My choice was the pepperoni pizza and I felt like the dairy free ricotta really complimented it well. It is not often that you find a place that has owners so invested in the quality of their products. I was immediately sold when they said there was no seed oils, they only sell organic sodas, and their food is quality. I’m so excited to come back.

This was a different experience that I've never had! The seating is different and it's pretty small inside. The food was absolutely amazing and flavorful! Everything was hot and fresh. Friendly staff and reasonable pricing.

It has a great vacation vibe in the summer with outdoor seating for small tables. Food was very flavorful with interesting options. Very cool pizza oven inside. The desserts are excellent. Drinks were very good. Large groups can be difficult and they generally don't split the bill. It can get pretty packed in there. Parking is street parking.
