Copper Top Tavern

I just visited Copper Top Tavern for the first time. I was wonderfully surprised by the number of vegetarian dishes on the menu. This place also gets extra kudos for actually marking which dishes are vegetarian right on the menu! They also mark which items are hot with a dragon. They seem to specialize in pizza, since out of the 3 pages worth of food, one entire page was pizza. They also have appetizers, sandwiches, pastas, and traditional dishes on the standard menu. Along with the standard menu they give you a separate two sided menu with specials on it. They have an entire page just dedicated to beer on the standard menu and a "table tent" as it's called in the business, with wines and mixed beverages on it. They bring you another separate menu with all of the desserts after you have finished your meal too. So, my point is, this place has a ton of food, there is definitely something to please everyone.



Copper Top is moderately priced. Its more expensive than Nothing but Noodles, but less expensive then say, Olive Garden. I had a thin crust pizza that was 8.99 and a fresh brewed ice tea that was 2.39 (with free refills). The pizza was pretty good, and when it was delivered the waiter asked if I wanted anything to dip it in. I took that opportunity to ask for Frank's and blue cheese, both of which they had, and neither of which was an extra charge. Every time you order a pizza you get a stamp on this card they give you. After buying 9 pizzas number ten is free. I'm sure it will be awhile before I get to the ten pizza mark, but it's a nice gesture. And speaking of nice gestures, the service was wonderful. Everyone was really nice and super efficient. They had several vegetarian pasta dishes, pizzas, salads and a portabella mushrom sandwich. For those of you that are dating/married/or have friends that are non-vegetarian, this seems like a great place to go. The friend I was with got a bowl of their homemade chicken noodle soup and CTF (Copper Top Favorite) melt. Not only did she really enjoy her food, but the waiter that brought our food out, and the manager that asked how everything was were "Oooohing" over the sandwich. So it must be good.

I could not find a web page for this place, which I found odd since they are supposedly owned by the company that owns Tully's. At any rate I put the link to google maps instead.
