We have been big fans of Bottoms Up Pizza for years but only recently took our kids there for the first time.  I’m not sure why we waited so long because it is extremely child-friendly.  Don’t most kids like pizza?  I have to admit that I was the one who wanted pizza, but there was no reason not to take the kids along for the ride. 

We went early and were able to get a great parking spot right outside.  We have never really had trouble finding parking in the area, but it’s nice to park close by when we have to carry the boys in and out.  We were seated right away on the covered patio.  There were only a few other kids when we arrived but more and more families with kids of all ages came in while we were there.   Like I said, most kids like pizza.  I brought plenty of snacks and toys to keep the boys happy while we waited for our food, although as usual, they were happy to people-watch. 

They do have a kid’s menu at Bottoms Up that includes not only pizza, but also things like burgers, chicken fingers and grilled cheese for the kids who don’t like pizza.  Instead of ordering from this menu though, I decided to share my Hawaiian pizza with them.  They loved it!  I love that it saved us some money by not having to order separate meals for them. 

While we were eating one of the servers began setting up a large table for a birthday party, complete with presents and balloons.  I had never thought of having a birthday party there, probably because our kids are still so young, but why not?  The group of kids that came in for the party looked to be somewhere between eight and ten.  They all seemed very happy to be there.  I will have to remember Bottoms Up as a possible party location in the future.  After our dinner we took a short stroll down the canal walk to burn a few calories, which is another reason why I love their downtown location.  You can visit their website for the menu and address.   http://www.bottomsuppizza.com
