Things we loved- the gnocco fritto appetizer, the pasta dish we got, and the ambiance. The gnocco fritto fried bread was delicious, airy, and didn't taste so fried that you felt you gained 10 pounds. The pasta dish we ordered that I can't remember the name of and don't have a picture since we ate it so quickly, was one of my top 5 favorite pasta dish I've ever eaten. It came with a white cream sauce, bacon, and rigatoni, and it was so rich and flavorful I could literally eat it every day. I wish I remembered the name of the dish! The restaurant itself was also casual and industrial, and we loved the look of the big windows from the inside to the outside. We got 2 types of pizza, which were both good but the one with red onions had waaaaaay too many onions. We were picking them off at the end. We also had trouble with the cocktails- we ordered lemon drops and espresso martinis throughout dinner and both tasted really off. The lemon drop was just vodka with a lemon twist because I don't think the waitress knew what we were asking for and didn't clarify. It was pretty hard to drink. Next time we come we'll probably stick with beers or listed cocktails!

For years, Union Pizza Works lurked in my bookmarks and mental rolodex of "places to try" though it was never intriguing enough to rise to the top or go out of my way for. Finally I found myself nearby for a show at Company XIV, so my curiosity finally led me to this modest pizza restaurant. With a focused menu of straightforward pies absent of any inventive toppings, I played it safe with a classic margherita pie. While the smoky char of the wood fired oven came through, the pizza lacked the sweet acidic tomato sauce and herbal notes I've come to enjoy from good pizza. The sauce tasted one-dimensional, nearly flavorless, prompting me to shake chili flakes onto it in an effort to jazz it up. Our kale salad was equally plain, and I know it's just a salad but there are so many ways to make it more exciting. My mezcalita was probably the best thing I had at this restaurant. My intuition was right for holding out years to go to this place. This place remains lost in the sauce.

Loved the ambiance and the owner is freaking awesome, so kind. I had the peach salad special, so well-balanced and tasty. I scarfed it! I also had the margherita pizza... I thought it was good not great. Perhaps a bit undersalted, I would've loved some more salt, some more basil. It felt rude to ask a pizza master for salt so I scarfed it down without salt but nonetheless it was good and I enjoyed the texture of the crust. I'll come back, eager to try the pasta!

Pros: Shared a delicious pizza with the hubby and we were happy with the quality and taste, but the start for me was the soup! Service was fast, ambience was chill.Cons: None

Amazing pizza! Went here with a friend before hitting a show at the Knockdown Center. The service is knowledgeable, quick, and friendly. The pizza is A+, but the gem salad stole the show! Totally going to rock this joint again!

Shared a wonderful dinner with friends at Union Pizza Works before a night out! It's the perfect spot for a delicious, well-priced meal. Atmosphere: chill and fun!Service: perfectly attentive. The staff explained the specials and menu items to us and were always ready to refill our drinks! I believe one of the managers/servers was Italian based on his accent, which is always a great sign! Food: excellent pizza! We ordered the special of the day which was AMAZING! We also ordered a margarita with prosciutto which was bellisimo! I could have had a whole one to myself We had the gem salad as well which was made exactly how I like it. Finally, we had some really great (and affordable!) cocktails and glasses of Prosecco.

If I can give this restaurant no star, I would. Small order of calamari, personal size pizza and sparkling water came out to $49. For the record, I didn't choose this place. I wanted to go to Roberta's.My friend read rave reviews on Google. The wait to get a pizza was 40 minutes. The size of it was small, my friend had to get a slice from Artichoke afterward. The waiter felt bad for the service. He gave me back the tip I left him.

Driving around the city for work and figured I'd find a pizza spot that I wasn't familiar with. Union Pizza Works was a pleasant surprise and I really enjoyed their vibe, their food, and their service. Great location and the space has ample area for bodies to indulge in their food and drinks. I am a big fan of neapoliton style pizza from beautiful ovens such as the one that they have on site so their pizza is definitely a 7+ for me but my only hesitation on a higher rating is their dough, while really good, was not delicate enough for me. If you're aware of Don Antonio's in HK then you'll understand what I'm referring to. Not putting anything negative out there about this spot but as an overanalyzing lover of light fluffy delicately simple Neapolitan pies, this place isn't quite there on that level but everything else was on point. This was a work lunch so I didn't get to indulge in their bar menu but I'm going to make an educated guess that in a neighborhood like this, you won't be disappointed so like as you're not an annoying entitled bro. Bravo Union Pizza Works!!!

Such a cute atmosphere!! Vibes were great for a chill night with friends or for a date night. staff was v friendly and easy going. the cacio e pepe was delicious had amazing seasoning and taste! the vegetarian pizza was a random mix of veggies which wasn't my fave but was yum non the less.
