I have a lot of love for Tapped, their pizza has always been top-notch and is even better for me as I’ve since gone vegan and they have decent vegan pizza choices. They also clearly mark their vegan beer, which is helpful. As they microbrew on-site, there is always a great selection of interesting beer and cider on offer.

Tapped is almost always busy, but you can usually get a table within ten minutes. Due to the shape of the place, getting to the bar is easier if you’re unencumbered by luggage/shopping. If you want a more relaxing experience, don’t go on a Friday or Saturday evening.

My friend noted that a margarita pizza is a good test of a pizza joint as it leaves you with nowhere to hide. Tapped passes this test with aplomb.

There are regular offers on and pizza is served quite quickly, making it a good lunch option. They do also cater for those who are gluten free both in pizza and beer. The only minor gripe is the outside area is very limited, but due to it opening right onto the street, there’s not a lot they can do about that. On warm days they open their fold away front windows though, so you can have a virtual alfresco experience.
