The Wedge

Downtown IC
July 2008

The Wedge opened up it’s second location this year, sharing space with Capana by the public library. They expanded their menu to include breakfast, salad & sandwiches. I heard they are trying to focus more on local ingredients.
They have pizza by the slice, conveniently arranged with one display case of the meat-lovers varieties and one display case of the veggie-lovers pizzas. I haven’t tried all of the specialty pizzas, but so far the Buddha is my favorite. They are wonderfully honest there also, if the pizza is getting old, they have given me 2 slices for the price of 1. The Wedge really does have great pizza, but one thing I’ve noticed is that if you have it delivered to your house, it is usually pretty crappy. There’s something about it that makes it great when fresh, lousy when old.
They have a good selection of drinks, including Blue Sky pops, but no beer. What you can do, though- is order your pizza, go over to Bread Garden to have a beer while you wait, then go back to eat your pizza. It’s not the same as having your beer with your pizza, but it works. If you’re on a date, I recommend getting one of the big bottles of New Belgium beer and splitting it. Wait, I’m supposed to reviewing the Wedge, not the Bread Garden…
They do have red pepper flakes and parmasean cheese, but no hot sauce unfortunately. They should take a tip from Panchero’s and get some Cholula!
Environmentally: disposable napkins, but reusable plates and silverware if you choose to eat there. Otherwise, to-go pizza comes in individual paper boxes and of course whole pizzas come in cardboard boxes.
