I learned a little bit about the pizza before trying it, and as always I don't share the secrets I may or may not have learn from pizzeria owners about the recipes and processes, but let's just say the pizza had a familiar look and feel to it that the NEPA Nation will appreciate. Let's just say Tom and Jordan were able to put their twist on a very popular local style of pizza to make it their own. On this day we tried 3 different pizzas (and an order of hand cut fries): the red Old Forge Style Pizza, the Vodka Sauce Pizza, and the Fresh Tomato Pizza.
All three pizzas came constructed on top of a classic fresh Old Forge pizza shell that was crisp on the bottom, soft in the middle, a little flaky around the edges, and had a tight crumb in the center. It was easy to eat with good chew and a slight crunch on the bottom and edges that was quite satisfying. The sauce on the red pizza had a medium body and texture to it, with some sweetness, a hint of acidity, and a clean aftertaste. There weren't any noticeable onions in the sauce nor was there a strong onion flavor present for those onion haters out there. There was quite a bit of flavor, however which was offset nicely by the cheese which was lightly cooked and carried a creamy neutral taste and of course stuck to the top of our mouths. Basically, if you like any of the Colarusso's Pizza locations, you're certain to enjoy this pizza as they share some similarities.

Overall, we had a great experience at The Union Craft House. The Pizza Princess and Pizza Prince had some fun in the game room, and the First Lady of NEPA Pizza also enjoyed the pizza and envisioned future visits to the relaxing dining room. We played a game of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots before heading out for the night and reflecting on the visit. So if you're into craft beers, good pizza, and want a place that you can take the whole family, you should consider a visit to the new Union Craft House in Taylor! Have you tried it yet?
