Bear & The Wren

"Second time eating here and the food is consistently five stars. We had the chili, meatballs, little gem salad and roasted root vegetables. Little gem salad paired perfectly with the Vermentino. Completed the meal with the Bananas Foster and highly recommend saving room for this dessert! Rated the service 4 star as we felt rushed with our 9PM reservation and by 9:40 felt like the dynamics had shifted to making sure everyone was done and out by 10:00. Better to have a reservation earlier in the evening or just sit at the bar. Our server was quite attentive with a friendly demeanor."

"Bear & the Wren in San Luis Obispo was a pleasant surprise. The pizza with hot honey was quite enjoyable, offering a unique flavor combination. Our server knew their way around the wine list, providing helpful recommendations. The management was friendly, contributing to a relaxed dining atmosphere. Overall, a solid choice for a casual night out with decent food and service."

"5 stars for everything. The food was absolutely phenomenal, as was the service. We ordered the Mushroom pie on Detroit as well as the Butternut on Neapolitan, and both were 10/10 - this after getting the meatball app with flatbread. Honestly could've done without the extra flatbread, but man was it good. We were stuffed... but had to get the cast iron cookie which was out of this world. Frankly, this is easily the best pizza in SLO - but unquestionably some of the best pizza we've ever head. Ambience was great, as well as the service -- Will was the man! We'll be coming back as long as it's here. Big fans!"

"I came here for dinner on a Saturday night with a reservation. We ordered the Cesar salad and Brussel sprouts for our appetizer and then 3 pizzas (a pepperoni for the kids, the butternut squash and the mushroom Detroit style). The appetizers were fine, pretty much what you'd expect. The kids liked their pepperoni pizza. I wasn't a fan of the butternut squash pizza. I was happy they had a dairy free cheese but the flavor just wasn't there and tasted dry. I really enjoyed the Detroit style pizza however the mushroom one was too spicy. We ran out of water at one point and it took a while for us to flag down our server. Overall, it was a fine experience. I think that I was expecting more based on the reviews I saw. Room for improvement on attentive service and I will try a different style Detroit pizza next time."

"This was a pleasant surprise to stumble on. This pizza was delicious. The bar staff was friendly. Only thing I would change is how the beer salad was presented - with the arugula plopped on top and hiding everything and made it harder to share. We thought it would have been better flipped the order. That being said, the pizza options were delicious. Detroit style was crispy and flavorful. And the Sicilian style pizza crust was light and airy. We Would come back"
