Downtown Pizza & Taproom
InlandA thin-crust pizza spot in downtown Harriman with an arcade room, outdoor seating, and a party-rental setup that works for all ages.
Downtown Pizza and Taproom is open four days a week and gets used hard on all four. The pizza is thin crust only: if you are expecting a thick or New York-style slice, know that going in. The specialty options are the reason to come. The hot honey pepperoni, the catfish-named pizza (no actual catfish), the supreme, and the meat lovers all have their following. The cheesy bread and loaded tater tots are reliable appetizers. The Italian sub is better than the name suggests.
The arcade is the differentiator. The game room is stocked with retro machines and old-school games, a genuine blast-from-the-past for anyone who grew up with them. Families rent it for birthday parties, and the combination of pizza and available games makes the place work for groups with wide age ranges. A pool table is available. Outdoor seating is an option in good weather. Local historical photos and memorabilia line the walls, which adds something for people who like context with their meal.
The atmosphere is the kind of place you settle into quickly. The owner presence keeps the room warm. Pizza consistency can vary under pressure; most visits are solid, and the kitchen handles a large pie more reliably than a heavily customized order on a busy night.
Tips
- Thin crust only; if crust style is important to you, know this going in.

- The mozzarella sticks and loaded tater tots are the safe appetizer picks.
