Pieworks of Ruston

Last night Katie and I went to PieWorks for dinner. I don't think the restaurant has been open for very long, maybe two weeks, if that. Anyhow, if you've never heard of Pieworks, it's a small franchise of pizza places that specialize in unique pizzas, though they sell other items like sandwiches.

I had a "rosemary roast pie" (they call all their pizzas pies), and katie had a bacon cheeseburger pizza on wheat crust. My pizza was absolutely delicious. I have a fondness for black pepper, especially freshly ground black pepper, and the pizza I ordered was sprinkled with a healthy amount of it. The pepper was the most dominating flavor, but there was a slight rosemary flavor, along with the thinly sliced beef (coulda been lamb too I guess). The flavors were not overwhelming, and the pizza was crisp, without too much oil. All in all, it's the best pizza I've had in a long time.

Since the restaurant opened, they've been busy every day, with a 5-10 minute wait being normal. They're doing good business, and I can see why, with the quality of food they're offering. Now, if Ruston only had 5 or so more quality restaurants, it might not be such a task to have to eat out here in town.
