Reviews for Rise Up Pizza in Lexington, KY

I tried this place for the first time thanks to Lexington pizza week, and I can only describe it as simply, a level above. A... friendly atmosphere, local, and certainly the best pizza in Lexington. I know that may be a bold claim with most localsconsidering Goodfellas as the best, I believe they just haven?t tried Rise Up yet. With pizza made right in front of you, awelcoming atmosphere, and supporting a local business there?s nothing not to love. My go to pizza place from now on! Read more

Rise Up Pizza served a vendor at our wedding. The pizza was delicious and a huge HIT with our guests. Rise Up also had us... complete a really fun questionnaire to create signature pizzas for myself and my husband. My taste can be a little picky, butthey were determined to make sure I approved and was happy with every single detail! I highly recommend their services. Read more

Rise up pizza didn't disappoint, wood fired pizza made with sourdough and fresh ingredients. I would've liked to have more... sauce but that want keep me from coming back for more. $15 includes tax and tip Read more

This is my favorite pizza in Lexington. It?s super hard to impress me with pizza too. Had the margherita pie and it was... fantastic. Dough was flavorful and the sauce had a little kick. Also had a homemade cookie that was blueberry lemon. It wasfresh and just as tastey. 10/10 my new pizza spot. Read more

Listen ???? This is the best pizza in Lexington hands down. I am OBSESSED with pizza and this is one of my all-time... faves. Quality The artisanal quality and perfect selection of ingredients is apparent in every bite. If you like sourdough, areparticular about sauce, and appreciate creative combinations - then you will love Rise Up. Creativity I've been eating here foryears and have never tried a combo I didn't like. Even when I'm weary, I try it out and am proven wrong. The owner, Matty, istruly a master at combining flavors. Classics I also frequently order a classic pepperoni (10/10 for crispy peps!) andmargherita (the ovalini is superb). Seriously the flavors at this place can't be beat! Pricing and Sizing To address thepricing and size complaints... this is a personal size, artisanal pizza restaurant. The size is perfect for one hungry person.If you're famished, add the garlic knots. The pricing for me is well worth it. I can't get a sourdough crust, wood fired pizzawith exceptional toppings anywhere else, so heck yeah I'll pay the ~$15 gladly. (Includes gratuity and tax) If you'd rather geta decent pizza elsewhere for less $ that works too but it is not a knock to this place. Lunch special They have a lunch specialfor two topping pizzas for $12 so great option for those wanting to try it out at a lower price. Overall I can't get enough.Others can't get enough. There's clearly a cult following. Did I mention the sourdough crust? Join our cult ???? Read more

Tried Rise Up for Lexington Pizza Week and was not disappointed! We got the vegetarian 'Pickle That' special. The sourdough... crust was divine, the ratio of toppings was perfect, and the smoked chili powder took the whole meal over the top. We willdefinitely return to this local gem! Read more

Rise Up! pizza is great - the crust is a sourdough that brings some zing to the pizza without overpowering it - to me, that's... what makes this the best pizza around. It's a thinner crust, but well-balanced with the sauce and toppings. Sauce tastesfresh, not canned, and toppings are often locally sourced. Pizza is a good size for one person, or maybe to split between 2people as a snack. They are around $12-$13 for a pizza, which is very reasonable, given the artisan style of this quality food.The Beesting pizza is pictured - that habanero honey is amazing. Try it - you won't be disappointed! Read more

Went there with a couple friends a few weeks ago. Pizza was really yummy. Price is what we expected for this style. The... selections were nice. Some not so typical so they have an advantage there. I will definitely go again. Much better than thechains. (Protein,Margherita, Pepperoni) Read more
