Elliott's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Kentucky

Found the place on Google maps. First we called to see if dogs were allowed and the hours, it was about 7:30 pm. Drove in left of the entrance and parked to the left of the food service entrance. First time diner here. Walked in and heard what didn't seem to be rerun music. Saw a blind, walked towards it and peaked behind, awesome bar and live band. Not sure what the women said but only heard that's a broken window behind the blind and a facial expression that reflected I was a two year old being scolded. I explained this was our first time here, and I didn't know and then was completely ignored moving forward. I then went next door (behind the blind) and waited patiently by the bar not to acknowledge or be given a smile. The music was so loud, in such a small space the waitress had the audacity to act offended that she wasn't heard when asked about the beer selection or to repeat. Once returned to the other side to place an order, I stood in line while a worker looking out the window at the covered patio asked whose dog was that to another coworker, not having acknowledged my presence at any point and I stated that's my dog (who was my partner). Then I addressed the same lady who scolded me which was dressing down the salad bar, how it worked. She stated they closed the bar an hour before closing and walked away. Said they had served way too many salads any way and I thought how did that apply to me standing in front of her and my question? Once I waited another five minutes while associates bustled around, the woman who was on the phone having not once said anything to the other line to which she was holding the phone or acknowledged my presence finally took my order. I was told the order would then be delivered where we sat. More than 15-20 minutes passed and my partner came to me and said he thought the order had been sitting inside on the table for some time. Sure enough it had. Four stars is for the fact there is live music. The sub we ordered was small and would feed a senior adult. My partner went to the truck for a small pickle and another handful of pretzels. The calzone was just right but with no sauce inside (I ordered cheese and mushroom) the side of sauce just wasn't enough.

Completely separate from the restaurant the traffic speed is completely inappropriate! I'm not even from here and unless you post the expectations of the round about which is a few yards away from the restaurant you are going to have, heavy feet pissed off locals gunning it from anger. Slow down the speed or an innocent child is going to...

My wife and I stumbled upon this hidden gem while driving through the fall foliage. We love supporting local eateries over chains, and pizzerias are our go-to spots.

The Good: The food was excellent! We ordered a supreme pizza with cheese sticks/bread, and it tasted amazing.

The Not-So-Good: 1.) Confusing layout: *No clear signage indicates whether to order at the counter or take a seat.

2.) Dirty tables everywhere.

3.)Poor restroom signage: *I initially walked into the women's restroom due to lack of visible signs. *The waitress publicly embarrassed me, saying, "The men's room is over there," after I exited.

4.)Disorganized seating area: *The door to the bar section looks like a backroom storage area. *Patrons from the bar area walked outside and then came in through the main dining room entrance just to use the restroom, unaware of the internal door.

5.) Frustrating ordering experience: *Waitress seemed overwhelmed, questioning our order (supreme pizza add bacon to the whole pie, mushrooms on one half, and black olives on the other). *No apology when the order was incorrect. *We had to fix it ourselves by requesting a fork.

6.) Payment Issues: *Waited extensively for the check, which never arrived. *Decided to pay at the counter, but waitress walked right by me, handed the check to my wife while I was standing in line.

Observations: *Multiple patrons walked into the women's restroom due to poor signage. *Steady takeout orders kept the counter busy.

Silver Lining: *Waitress removed our drinks from the bill without asking, a kind gesture.

Conclusion: While the food shines, logistical issues and communication breakdowns marred our experience. With improved signage, seating organization and staff coordination, this local gem could become...

My family and I were camping down the road at Outpost Campground last week. We typically try to find a local pizzeria on every trip, and Elliott's was so close to our campsite that it was an obvious choice. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We ordered a cracker crust cheese pizza, a meat pizza, a veggie pizza, and a bbq chicken pizza. They all have names based on local landmarks and attractions, but I can't remember what they are. Our call-in order was ready in about 30 minutes. The veggie pizza was so loaded with veggies!! I was pleasantly surprised that the crust held it all without being soggy or floppy. In fact Elliott's crust is some of the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating. It tastes fantastic and has just the right balance of chewiness and softness. The bbq sauce on the chicken pizza was super tasty! The chicken was very tender. The meat pizza was much like the veggie one in that the toppings went all the way to the crust. My meat eaters said it was very good. You can really taste the authenticity behind the ingredients. They are fresh and balanced just right. The cheese was delicious! We will definitely be eating...
