What a great find! We saw the sign on the main road and decided to check it out: it was a rainy Friday during shoulder season and very quiet. I imagine this place gets packed based on the quality of the food , svc and buildings. Meghan was great to us! Definitely coming back for, the food and beer was great!

Great experience. Views of the mountains and delicious pizza and brews. This place is welcoming and well worth a trip.

Great wood fired pizza! The Wood Fired Wings had that nice smoke taste but I prefer my wings tossed in the sauce already, so was slightly disappointed with it on the side. Still a 5 since that is a matter of taste. 4 for service is just due to not having anyone to wait on us when we were going to dine in. Worth finding if you're in the area and looking for a good pizza. Only disappointment would be only pizza, wings, and bread sticks on the menu. Hopefully that will increase in time.

Was staying at the 5 Lakes Lodge and looking for a place to eat with my wife who has some dietary restrictions. We came across this place on our way back from Baxter! Excellent service, loved the cleanliness, and vegetarian options. Great beers as well!

Wowiezowieee AMAZING PIZZA!!! I’m gluten free, but I was on vacation so.... I indulged & suffered the consequences later I just had to try this pizza. The crust was great, yummy selection of specialty pizzas & they were a good size. The customer service was great too. They gave us recommendations & just seemed happy to be there. The atmosphere was super chill, granted it wasn’t a wkend, but it just seemed like a really fun place. High ceilings, small store with merch & large entry way & bathrooms. There’s also an outdoor seating area with activities & a view. We couldn’t see the mountain, as advertised, but who cares? It was cool either way. Thumbs up guys, you got it right!! P.s. They do have a GF option- but... if you know, you know. GF is not the same- IDK what you do to it.

Knife Edge Brewing was more than just excellent! Their handmade pizzas mirrored authentic Italian in all respects. I was stationed in Italy for 5 years, with several return trips afterwards, so I think I can rate pizza quality reasonably well; Thin crust, fresh ingredients, totally delicious. Service was excellent and quick, and the staff very friendly. Oh, and their craft beer selection was good too. Two suggestions for the owners: 1. Place laminated placards by each type of pizza at the Tuesday night pizza buffet table, so that patrons will know what they’re taking; especially if someone has ingredient allergies. 2. The pizza buffet table needs a food warmer above the pizza trays; some of the pizzas were cold. Definitely a place for a return trip.

This place is a diamond in the rough! Literally. You may want to consider a high clearance vehicle to get here because it’s about a mile down a dirt road. But well worth the adventure. The atmosphere is great- a beautiful building that really plays to the Maine woods vibe, with live music every Friday. And a cute little gift shop. The pizza is superb (try the butternut!), I have had a lot of good pizza in my life, and this place definitely holds up. Don’t curb your expectation just because this place is in the middle of nowhere- can absolutely recommend Knifes Edge for anyone looking for great pizza in a beautiful indoor setting.

Excellent beer, pizza and service! Highly recommend the chicken, bacon, ranch and add a little buffalo on the side!
