The Outsider specializes in a mouthwatering selection of pizza, handmade pastas, and fresh salads, elevating comfort food to an art form. The pizza, crafted with a unique twenty-four-hour fermented dough, is a standout. Each slice is topped with a rich homemade sauce, premium mozzarella, and a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil. Savor the melty goodness of the Pepperoni pizza or indulge in the flavor-packed Buffalo variety, which has received rave reviews for its bold taste, even without the traditional chicken topping.

Another noteworthy mention is their Greek salad, complemented with olives, feta, and fresh greens, all celebrating the local farm-to-table ethos.
Don’t miss out on their handmade pastas either. The Smoked Mozzarella and Prosciutto dish, finished in a house-made bolognese, is a hearty and comforting homage to classic Italian flavors. Each bite promises warmth and satisfaction, making it a perfect choice for those cozy evenings.
The ambiance at The Outsider strikes a balance between intimate and inviting, making it an ideal spot for date night or a casual catch-up with friends. The décor, reminiscent of a seaside bistro, adds to the charm, while the welcoming owner, Vic, is often seen engaging with guests, sharing the restaurant's origins and showcasing his passion for food and hospitality.
But don’t just take our word for it; diners like Lexi Perry and Nick Cooney have shared glowing experiences, highlighting not just the exceptional food but also the personal touch present in every visit.
