Restaurant review - Kingy's Pizza Pub - Canal Winchester, OH

So I went to hang out with some friends on Saturday night. Food and drink were the plan for the evening, and a good time was had by most (not accounting for hangovers on Sunday morning).

Coming in, I was expecting bar-with-food quality fare, which is to say, barely adequate and overpriced. What I got instead was a pleasant surprise. Appetizer-wise, the pretzel bites were plentiful and well-cooked. The mustard listed on the menu didn't arrive, but I'm not a mustard on pretzels guy anyway. The cheese sauce for dipping was tasty. The fried pickles were listed as 'Spicy' pickles on the menu, and while I didn't get 'spicy', I did get a good portion of fried pickles that were a good example of this unusual appetizer. The biggest pleasant surprise was the pepperoni pizza. It's of the thin/crispy crust variety, which was properly cooked. The cheese and pepperoni were standard but flavorful. Where the pizza distinguished itself was the sauce. A solid tomato base, but with some sweetness and spice to differentiate it from basic canned sauce really rounded the whole pie into a taste treat.

Rating (out of 10) - 7 very good
