Great food and great service. Price was reasonable for the amount of food. Vegetarian wrap was delicious!

Small pizzas and slightly awkward without bigger sizes for better value, an unexpected trip over our trip in to find a helpful staff, easy going darkened space for all groups, plenty of menu items like paninis and pies, and thought out brew list. Nothing I sampled really spoke to me but the apricot Wheat from Industry was nice. The others enjoyed a cider from San Francisco. Another did his own BLT Panini, what a feast! Was jealous, he nibbled it all down just as our soppressata and smoky pork chipotle pizzas showed up, we got the chance to turn tables! Again wished for larger sizes, we had hoped there would be leftovers for a fourth meal. But with these flavors, rich base, fantastic meats, oh that hot honey! There was nothing left but to pay and get the guys a bit squeamish to owe me seventeen dollars just unsplitting two pizzas and a cider. I can say that is big city prices and small city Peoria food scene has fierce competition.

The pizza is good. The young workers are really nice. It should be a 5 But $6.75 for draft a beer, that's ridiculous. I've been to five star restaurants who charges less than this. you think this is the airport? Come on man give us beer at a reasonable price and I'll give you a five

Review Visit: October 20th, 2014 Sugar. Spice. Everything pizza. Nestled in the seemingly ever-developing downtown area of Peoria is Sugar. Sugar is a place you can go to get some upscale pizza for yourself. Or a group of friends. Matt, Ashton and I did just that. We rolled up on an afternoon where Ashton was free to sneak away for her work lunch. The parking situation isn't ideal in this area of Peoria. It's all side-of-street that last time I checked. I do believe there is some parking on the side of Sugar but not much. So, if you come during a lunch rush, expect to struggle looking for a parking spot. Once we were parked, we headed in. Everything about Sugar is upscale and nice. Not quite fancy level but one where you know you are going to get good service and good food. We were lucky enough to get a seat right away since this was the lunch rush. Once seated, we got to looking over the menu. Since it's been awhile, I don't recall what I ordered but I was confused on what Sugar offered exactly. The name conjures up images of a candy store. I knew it wasn't that because of the full name is Sugar Wood-Fired Bistro. I knew it had pizzas or something similar. As I looked over the menu, I wasn't sure if these pizzas were for individual consumption or for sharing. In the years since the visit here, I have learned a lot more about restaurants and their offerings. I was so innocent in these days. Orders placed, we waited and watched the place replace an empty table as quick as it could. Small talk was shared among us while we waited for our food. I don't think we waited a terribly long time for our food to come out. But once it did, I was drooling at the personal pizzas placed in front of us. Yep, you order your own personal pizza here. No arguing over what toppings need to be requested. No debating over if pineapple goes on pizza. No awkwardness as you try to figure out who gets to keep the last few slices. You get the pizza you want. And what a pizza it is. Each bite was super good and you could taste the quality of ingredients in each bite. At about $12+ per pizza, you don't feel like they skimped on the goods. I can't tell from the photo posted below but I think I got the buffalo chicken pizza. It might not look that appealing but it looked great in person. Each bite was full of flavor while not having any one ingredient overpower any other. It wasn't long before we all put down our pizzas and were out the door. Mostly due to Ashton being on a time limit. The food was indeed fantastic but I do have to admit that while it was good, I didn't get entirely too full. I left with that twinge of hunger still in the back of my stomach. If we would've gotten appetizers, I am sure that that twinge of hunger would've been gone. So, if you do come here, do remember that parking can be a bit of a hassle and if you have a large enough group, share some appetizers to top off your meal.

My wife and I were in Peoria for a collegiate Cross Country meet and were looking for something different for dinner. We've been to Peoria on a number of occasions, so we have the lay of the land. The first place we picked was no longer in business. The close second was Sugar Wood Fired Bistro. This is near the ballpark in the downtown area. We entered the restaurant and were immediately greeted. They do things a little differently than normal. You pick up a menu at the door and find a table or, if you know what you want, you can order at the counter. What we did not know was this was more of a pizza place. They have a wood fired pizza oven directly behind the counter. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese with an appetizer of Jalapeno Poppers. My wife ordered the Salmon BLT with a salad. The building appears quite old and is made of brick. They have outside seating on the sidewalk that seemed quite nice. The interior of the restaurant is brick and "old wood". It gives a rustic industrial look and is a neat atmosphere. They gave a glasses and we got our own fountain drinks. When we got there, there were only a few customers. Shortly after getting our drinks, the small restaurant filled up quickly. Our appetizer arrived and it looked good. Fresh halved jalapenos filled with cilantro cream cheese and topped with bacon pieces before being heated in the wood fired oven. They were served with fresh pico de gallo. Our entrees arrived and they looked good. My wife's Salmon BLT was a large sandwich and she said it tasted good. The salad looked fresh and she liked the dressing. The Buffalo Mac and Cheese was a good portion and had the right amount of buffalo sauce that added good flavor without being over bearing. the only draw back was the chicken. Thicken was not the star of the show. It lacked and real flavor. I wish the chicken had been fried to give it better texture. Overall, it was a decent meal and was a nice experience. This would be a good date night spot for sure and next time I would try a pizza. Also, Maybe the cleanest restroom I have every been in for a public setting. The restroom was stocked, clean and smelled fresh. The staff was exceptional! Super friendly and seemed to provide great service to all of the customers while we were there!

Great food and desserts. Always clean and not usually a long wait. Big 5 star restaurant

Everything was delicious. The cheesey bread was cheesey all the way to the crust and the pesto butter to dip it in? Fantastic. We will be back x 1,000,000

This place SHOCKED me. My coworkers chose Sugar for dinner one night and I was skeptical since I'm not a specialty pizza kind of person. After one bite of the Jalapeño Popper pizza I was a fan. The flavors were just right and it wasn't overly spicy. I was a big fan of the fresh jalapeños. It was a little burnt on some parts of the crust but that's just how a wood fired pizza is going to come out. I can't remember the beers they had on tap but they were also good. The ordering process was super easy as you order at the front register right when you walk in. The ladies working were very friendly and were the ones that recommended the beer I ended up liking. The place is a short walk from the Peoria Chiefs baseball park so it would be a good spot before or after a game. The outdoor seating is an added bonus and has an excellent ambiance overall. Definitely looking forward to coming back here.
