Cushnoc serves up a decent pizza. They have a variety of specials or you can opt to build your own. I decided to build my own with red sauce, mozzarella cheese, and the IPA caramelized onions. I have to say, these carmelized onions are perfectly sweet and delicious. They make a top-notch topping. The pizza itself features a soft, thin, light, airy base and a chewy, charred, also airy crust. The red sauce is flavorful and really elevates the pizza.

I also really appreciate that they offer vegan cheese as an option. My wife ordered a pie with vegan cheese and red onions and the cheese wasn't overly gooey (a common weakness for vegan cheeses). It was a good pie and it reheated well the next day too!

You should know that the building tends to run a bit cold and sometimes, depending on where you sit, you'll get an air current. I also wish they served flights, but they do at least offer small samples you can try before ordering. Overall, I've had nothing but good experiences at Chushnoc and can definitely recommend it to anyone looking for pizza and beer in the Augusta area.​
