"First impressions. I like brick oven pizza and this was in fact what I'd expect out of Brick Oven pizza. The crust of the regular crust is crispy and slightly blackened as you would expect. The pizza was prepared neatly and had adequately dispersed toppings so you didn't miss anything with each bite.Flavor and consistency. The crust was a little thin for my personal taste which is the only reason why I personally wouldn't give it 5 stars, but that doesn't detract from the quality. It was evenly cooked and delicious. The SAUCE though, best sauce I have had on a pizza in some time. I ended up eating the entire small pizza in an evening.Gluten free. The gluten free crust was different though and I understand it is likely because it was gluten free, but the crust was soggy and wet. I'm sure it would have held together better if there were a binding agent such as cheese at the top of the pizza, but unfortunately no vegan cheese options are offered. However, this again doesn't detract from my personal rating as I do not have such dietary restrictions and I understand the added expense, lack of consumption, and short shelf life of vegan cheeses typically limits these options, but I feel that it should be mentioned.I only live about 6 minutes away and had no stops from the shop to home, so I wouldn't expect time to be a factor in this. It was still hot when we began eating.Ultimately, I would eat here again, but it would be a place that I personally would go out of my way for. If you read this, take it with a grain of salt. It is excellent pizza, just not my preferred style."

"I was visiting Keene, NH for the first time with a friend who grew up in the area, and when it came time to pause our adventures through the town for lunch, my friend 's top recommendation for a quick and super filling lunch was the Local Burger! In addition to food, I was also seeking an authentic local experience, and with a name like Local Burger how could I go wrong? It was a wonderfully sunny day outside, and the dining area was bright, colorful and vibrant. Many of the tables had fun diner/bar stool seating that was reminiscent of burger joints of the past with the enjoyable amenity of being able to spin a little in your seat while chatting over the meal. I enjoyed the humorous burger themed art on the walls and the retro decor of the establishment. It was a quieter weekday afternoon, and service was very quick, friendly, and professional. Of course I couldn 't turn down the opportunity to try the Local Burger, Local Burger 's Signature Burger and I paired it with their grass fed beef offering (for a slight additional charge , a side of fries, and a fudge brownie milkshake! When the food arrived the burger was piled high and was balanced delightfully in the center of a paper lined basket again on brand with the retro aesthetic. All of the food was very tasty! I left feeling exceptionally stuffed and satisfied. In addition to the delicious food, I appreciated that there were a variety of options for burger construction (ranging from the tasty Grass Fed Beef that I tried to Turkey and Veggie burgers and that most all of the ingredients were sourced from local farmers, suppliers, or vendors and that made the meal feel authentically local . From what I 'd gathered, the business has been operational for over a decade now, which is pretty cool street cred to have too. It was exactly the meal that I was looking for that afternoon, and I would definitely go back for another burger if I was in the area. Thanks again! :"
