Cozy, open atmosphere with good music playing. We came here while visiting Buffalo because their wood fired pizzas were evidently pretty good. When you arrive, you can take menus and seat yourself and then order at the bar when you're ready. The bartenders were super nice and understanding when I mentioned a peanut allergy in our group. We got the banana pepper dip with pita, a Caesar salad, and burrata pizza. The dip was fantastic and the salad good, but the pizza a bit disappointing. The flavor was there but the bottom crust was soggy. We expected a little bit of a crisp for a wood fired pizza. The drinks were delicious!

Great atmosphere inside and out. The patio was lively with the outdoor bar and plenty of tables. Drinks were great, I love that they make a lot of ingredients in house. I had the inside bar make me a hugo spritz which was delicious! The fries were AMAZING!! They were definitely a sharable. The hot honey pizza was flavorful although I did wish it was a little bit spicier. Despite the place being packed the food came out timely. Definitely will be coming back!

Phenomenal in every way. I had reserved a section of the patio for a Saturday night and it turned out to be a rainy day so the manager, Jeffrey, called me and said he had reserved a space for our group of 15 inside. It was perfect. We were up toward the front of the restaurant in an area with couches and we were given a section of the bar as well. My one friend who came is in a wheelchair and the space was a perfect layout for her thankfully. Pizzas, drinks and service were all so great. We brought out own desserts as it was a continuation of a bday party and Jeffrey happily stored the cake I. The fridge til we needed it. Favorite pizzas include the salami & fig and the hot honey. Highly recommend this place for their food and hospitality.

Great place for a delicious pizza and drinks! I got to enjoy their outdoor patio, which made the experience even better. You order food and drinks at the bar and the food came out quickly. The hot honey pizza was perfection. The pepperoni with the hot honey gave it a savory and sweet taste.

Despite being a mainstay of the Larkinville area for years, I had never had a chance to try Hydraulic Hearth. Until this past week! Came here for a work happy hour where we had a little section of the bar/restaurant to ourselves. I didn't indulge in any cocktails or beer, the but the aperol spritzes some of my coworkers ordered looked delicious. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and a few of their pizzas. I had some of the Spicy Peps pizza and I thought it was delicious! I'm always a little leery of hot peppers on my food, but I didn't think the slice had too much heat. And the crust was chewy! A truly top-notch pie. The weather wasn't great when we went, so we didn't get to enjoy the patio, but I'd love to come here once summertime really gets into gear just for that. Pizza on the patio just can't be beat!

Love Hydraulic Hearth! It's one of my favorite spots in Larkinville. They have the best outdoor patio area with a lot of tables and lawn games. Their menu is limited with just a couple appetizers and several types of pizza, but everything is so delicious. Their weekly specials for food and drinks are always great too. On Thursdays, they have themed tiki nights with fun special drinks and food menus. For example, this last Thursday they had a Harry Potter themed tiki night. The drinks menu was super creative and I really wish I could've tried them all! I ordered butter beer and a Felix Felicis drink. They even had Harry Potter decorations up all over. You do have to order food and drinks at the bar and sometimes the line can get pretty long. But to me it's still worth it!

everytime i come here it's a pretty good time. especially when they do $10 pizzas on tuesdays when it's cold. SUCH A STEAL and i love that they don't skimp on ingredients or size when it's happy hour. we love an honest business. only critique is that the pizzas with sweet elements tend to be VERY sweet...they go heavy handed on the sweet toppings. be aware if you're not lookin for a dessert pizza lol! otherwise everything else i've had here is pretty good. idk about the drinks, though, they're okay! nothing special just ok :)

The service was great, the setting was very nice and the food was good. The bartender who took our order was very friendly and good at explaining things. We ordered a specialty rum cocktail and got a brick oven pizza. I wish I remembered the names of each, but I waited too long to leave the review for those particulars. But, I do remember the important part, the drink was yummy and so was the pizza. The only complaint I have is that they must have needed to clean their oven or something because the pizza had a lot of black char stuck on the bottom (see pics). It was nice there were water stations to help yourself to hydration. They didn't have waiters, you just got a number when ordering at the bar and they had food runners. Also, I found the pricing to be quite reasonable for Buffalo. I would visit again.

Just got into town and this was down the block from our accommodations! We loved the vibe, very relaxed environment. Tons of outdoor seating! Reinforced by the "order at the bar" service, which is fine by me. The bar service and food service were both very fast. We both had cocktails which were fine! I got the special and it wasn't my fave, but that's more on me. We got the medium Buffalo wings, the hot honey pizza, and the burrata pizza. The food was good! Not sure if the pizzas are worth $18/ea though. The burrata was my fave. Overall good experience!
