The Pump House Bar and Pizzeria — Restaurant in Bloom Township

This location has gone through a lot of changes and turmoil over the last few years. I wrote a lengthy review on the previous establishment there and how disappointing it was in all aspects hoping they would change and it got worse.

This on the other hand is the opposite. Very good food, hand made pizza, good beer, great appetizers, good menu. Pump House brings it back to Lithopolis! I highly recommend their pizza. It takes about 30 minutes but it’s great quality. My only complaint is I think the pizza is a little expensive with toppings being $2.75 each putting a large easily 20+. A little steep for pizza. Other than that it’s solid!

UPDATE; Went there again and had an outstanding experience. I was informed that they over cooked my pizza and that it would be another 35 minutes. Without reacting at all, the bartender (who has outstanding customer service) informed me that the food would be on the house and that I could get a drink at the bar as well due to my inconvenience. My wife then picked the pizza up later and was greeted by the owner (who also values his business and has great customer service). They REFUSED payment and in turn made 2 flat out AWESOME pizzas.

This is not the old business, this is the new where they actually take pride in what they do and their product. Hats off to you guys and I hope your business is blessed. It’s the little things like that, that will set you apart. You will see me and my entire family back again and again

Update 2024; I did notice that they charge a 3% fee for the use of a credit card. Not a fan of that, feels like a “nit pick”. As a restaurant, I feel that they should cover that for...

What an interesting experience. The overall experience was good. I thought the establishment itself was a bit, "older" with their decor. Nothing wrong with it, sometimes it is nice to have some throwback experiences. The staff was very friendly and was always on top of the service. They were always steadily checking in, but never overbearing as to interrupt your meal. Drinks were kept full, and the beer was ice cold, just the way it should be. The pizza was pretty tasty. The have the good olé stone pizza oven, so the crust was perfect, and the old world pep was just spicy enough to give it that little kick. The cheeseburger, it reminded me of an McDonald's burger, so I was not really a fan. Plus the bun was a bit mushy due to sitting in juice from the pickles, and the tomato.

The only downside, if that is what you want to call it, the clientele was a bit of the, "older" group. So, our group kind of stuck out a little. But, hey, it was good for us, we felt like teenagers again. We also got to enjoy some good entertainment from some of the patrons that were having good old time singing along to some of the 70's and 80's music on the jukebox.

Overall, a pretty good place to sit down, enjoy your friends, have a good conversation, listen to music, and enjoy...

I decided to give the updated/new version of "The Pump House" a try on 12/29/23 since I saw so many reviews that mentioned everything was updated/different/refreshed. I was NOT disappointed. My girlfriend and I decided to eat lunch there. She had the chili with garlic knots and I had the classic burger and fries. Absolutely delicious all the way around. The burger had so much flavor including a fresh bun. The chili flavors dazzled my girlfriend's tastebuds. I only got to try one spoonful, but I can agree!

We both decided that we wanted to get a couple of the new versions of their pizza to take home for dinner in the evening. We were very impressed in this respect too. The crust was JUST right. Nothing burnt, it's NOT cracker crust (THANK YOU!) and the topping flavors all came through in each bite.

Finally, service was fantastic, friendly, and timely. We are both thrilled to have another quality place to dine close to home for VERY reasonable prices, especially considering the portions and quality received.

Thank...
