For pizza fans, life will soon get even better in Menomonee Falls. The village is getting a new pizzeria.
Hop Yard Ale Works, based in Appleton, is opening a second location in downtown Menomonee Falls later this year. An opening date will be announced at a later date, according to a Facebook post by the business.
The taproom and restaurant offers pizza, a variety of beer and wine options and live music.

More creative pizzas on the menu are the Mr. Potatohead (white sauce, mozzarella, sliced potatoes, bacon, chives, smoked cheddar and French onion sour cream); Cookie Za (woodfired cookie pizza with ice cream and hot fudge) and White Lightning pizza (white sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, garlic, basil, jalapeño and pepperoncini).
The menu also features a vegan cauliflower crust option and several kinds of toppings to accommodate most allergies.
Hop Yard Ale Works serves beer including Engine Co. (red ale Irish beer), Burnsie's Havering (a Scottish ale) and Prancing Pony Porter (Porter English beer).
Hop Yard Ale Works also serves wine such as Gewurztraminer, pinot noir and sparkling prosecco rosé.
