Isu Station beer and pizza set with chicken and Vienna lager: Raymond

Looking for a good spot near Isu Station for pizza and beer, I ended up at Raymond Isu Branch.

Wanting to try several pizzas at once, I ordered the Raymond Set, and along with it tried the Vienna lager, peanut butter porter ale, and pilsner lager.

The pizza slices were bigger than expected and pretty filling, and the set came with not just pizza but chicken, sausage, and fries too — a solid lineup.

I'm writing this up in detail for anyone looking for a good piback (pizza + beer) spot near Isu Station.

Pizza and beer at Raymond Isu Branch, in one line

If you want to enjoy pizza and beer together near Isu Station, Raymond Isu Branch fits the bill well.

Wanting to sample several pizzas at once, we ordered the Raymond Set for 2-4 people. It came with one generous slice each of pepperoni, mac and cheese, cheese, and bacon Hawaiian pizza.

If you order just one pizza you might end up curious about the other flavors, so being able to split several at once made it easy to order even on a first visit.

The slices were bigger than expected too, so if you don't eat much, 1-2 slices could be plenty. Beyond pizza, the set also came with chicken, sausage, and fries — a filling combo for 2-4 people with no menu-agonizing needed.

The pepperoni pizza suited our taste best. It had plenty of sauce and ham, and the salty flavor went great with beer.

The chicken was better than expected too — enough to make me want to order it as a standalone item next time.

For beer we ordered the Vienna lager, peanut butter porter ale, and pilsner lager. Each had a distinct aroma and flavor, so it was fun comparing them alongside the pizza.

Where is Raymond Isu Branch, and when is it open?

We enjoyed slowly eating pizza and drinking beer while chatting. If you're looking for a place near Isu Station to have a meal and a beer without much fuss, this is worth a visit.

The menu at Raymond Isu Branch and ordering pizza by the slice

This time we ordered the Raymond Set along with 3 types of beer.

Raymond Isu Branch also lets you order pizza by the slice.

On a first visit you might be curious how each pizza tastes, so being able to pick individual slices of whatever flavor you want is nice.

The menu descriptions made it easy to choose between pizza types while ordering. If a full set feels like too much or your group is small, starting with a few slice pizzas to find your favorite is also a good option.

How did the four pizzas in the Raymond Set taste?

What comes in the Raymond Set

We ordered the Raymond Set to try several flavors at once.

The set came with one slice each of pepperoni, mac and cheese, cheese, and bacon Hawaiian pizza, along with sausage, chicken, and fries.

Each pizza slice was bigger than expected, so it felt generous from the moment it arrived.

If you don't eat much, one or two slices should be plenty, and if you're visiting with a group, it works well to each pick your favorite flavor first and then share.

Pepperoni pizza

Of all the pizzas, the pepperoni was the tastiest.

You could really taste the sauce, and the ham was generous, so every bite had a nice salty punch.

It felt like the perfect flavor for piback, and it was the pizza that paired best with the beer.

The mac and cheese, cheese, and bacon Hawaiian pizzas each had their own distinct flavor too, so it was fun picking through them. Sharing several slices instead of sticking to one flavor kept things from getting boring.

That said, the pizzas overall lean salty, so if you prefer milder flavors, I'd recommend pacing yourself with beer or fries.

Chicken, sausage and fries in the set

The sides that came with the set were satisfying too.

The sausage and fries went well with the pizza, but the chicken in particular really impressed us.

I'd assumed it would just be a side thrown in with the pizza set, but the chicken itself was genuinely good. Next time I'd like to order chicken as a standalone dish.

Pizza alone might feel like something's missing, but with chicken, sausage, and fries all included, it was a great spread for sharing among several people.

Three Art Monster beers: Vienna lager, peanut butter porter ale, pilsner lager

We ordered the Vienna lager, peanut butter porter ale, and pilsner lager.

There was a lot of signage about Art Monster beer around the restaurant, which made me curious, and the aroma and flavor stood out among the beers I've had recently.

The three beers each had a different character, so it was fun for everyone in the group to order a different one and pass sips around.

Since the pizza and sides lean salty, a cold lager suited them well, and if you like richer, deeper flavors, the peanut butter porter ale is worth trying too.

Watching the pepperoni pizza get cut was satisfying too — sharing a big slice loaded with cheese and toppings felt like exactly the right thing to order on a piback night.

Final verdict on Raymond Isu Branch

Raymond Isu Branch was a great spot near Isu Station for pizza and craft beer together.

The Raymond Set came with 4 pizza flavors plus chicken, sausage, and fries, making it easy for a group to order without much deliberation. The slices were big and filling, and since slice-by-slice ordering is also possible, next time I'd like to pick individual slices of flavors we haven't tried yet.

The pepperoni pizza and the chicken stood out most for us, and pairing them with Art Monster beer made for a great piback combo. If you're looking for a piback spot with friends near Isu Station, or somewhere for a casual beer after a meal, this one's worth checking out.
