My husband and I came to southwind pizza while staying at sugartoad cottage. We loved the place so much we came back the next night. The bartender Morgan was great. We had the bang bang shrimp and pizza. The shrimp we lightly bread and the sauce was great. We met some great people the second night we visited. Will definitely make this a stop everytime we visit!

I came in about 30 minutes to close to grab a pizza to take home and a beer to enjoy while I waited. The service and atmosphere were amazing, great people to talk with. It seemed like it was music night for those willing and that was made it feel homey while walking in! The "pizza" I ended up getting was the flat bread of the week while im told the pizza cook Mike makes was out of this world!

Always great service. Chill vibe and fun tchotchkes to admire on the high shelf that encircles the main dining room. Lots of taps for beer, wine and cider. The menu can satisfy omnivore, vegans, GF. Be patient if you walk in on a busy/weekend night. Tables do turn over and the staff works hard to get you seated. They post their weekly specials on social media.

My wife and I enjoyed walking around the town, everyone we met was friendly. The historic courthouse area was interesting to see. We took quite a few photos. My wife bought a cute purse at "Cattails gifts" and a couple sweaters and 2 pair of cool socks for me from "The Cottage".

Classic chill atmosphere, pizza with homemade crust, Grateful Dead bootleg in the background, super friendly folks. Favorite pizza varieties named after local nautical landmarks, with GPS coordinates. Doesn't get any better!
