Pizzas, grinders and salads take-out or eat-in. Draft beer and wines. We like their “Kickin’ Chicken” pizza (barbecued chicken, blue cheese and jalapeño peppers) or their “Think Spring,” a vegetable pizza. They don't deliver to Leyden but you can get take-out. Now with a gluten-free crust option.

An enormous used bookstore housed in an 1842 gristmill, set on the banks of the Sawmill River. Also on site are two interesting restaurants, The Alvah Stone and The Lady Killigrew, as well as a record store, Turn-it-Up Sounds, and an art gallery, Sawmill River Arts. The river is gorgeous as it runs over the rocks and fallen down timbers of the old dam.
