We all know pizza is all about the crust! Brick Oven Pizza is one of the best pizzas I have had. They also have an amazing salad bar (with rarities like roasted garlic!) and a soup of the day. The day I was there it was a red lentil, which was perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend it!
If you haven't been to The Brick Oven in awhile, it's time to go back! Dino has created a great family restaurant with the best pizza dough we've had in a long time, and has a friendly staff with incredible customer service. The salad bar is great and the tomato basil soup was perfect. Stop by and see Dino and his family! They'll treat you like you're family.
Fries is $1.5, I’m shocked, and it was so good!
Garlic bread and salad came with my order of pesto chicken pasta. The salad was fresh with the thousand island dressing. The chicken was a little dry but the creamy pesto sauce and pasta both were really good!
My friend ordered TUI TONGA pizza and it’s really good, the dough especially.
Will be back!
EXCELLENT!! Went Christmas shopping with my husband & this was an wonderful surprise for him & me!! The place was very busy & apparently they were short. Our host/ waiter was working the front alone. He let us know up front it was just him. It might take some time for us to receive our service but he would take care of us & he did!! The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! IT WAS WORTH waiting patiently for!! Will definitely go there again when visiting the area!!
Extremely understaffed. We saw 1 person, Jerry, greeting, taking orders, tending tables, answering phones, and cleaning up. The restaurant was full. Poor guy was stressed and sweating. He kept a pleasant manner and stayed attentive as much as he could. We appreciated his hard work. Eventually, 1 other person came out to clean off tables, but only 2 tables.
Our table had fries, lemon piccata, margherita pizza, Brick Oven pizza, and veggie calzone. Everything was delicious, except the margherita. It was not traditional and had way too much oregano. Couldn't taste anything else. The dough was amazing, light and cooked just right in the brick oven. They used sliced sausage on their specialty, which tastes so much better than crumbled. The pasta was tender and sauce seasoned just right, not too sour. The fries were cooked perfectly and had a delicious season salt. We were offered a free dessert due to an error in our order. Our table split the zeppoli. It's similar to a funnel cake. Amazing! Fried to perfection and drizzled in chocolate syrup and powdered sugar. Perfect ending to our lunch.
I recommend as long as you have the time. We were there for 2 hours. It was a Saturday on a holiday weekend, though. Would love to return when we are in town, but maybe pick a slower day of the week.
Where to begin... i loved everything about this place. The service was IMPECCABLE. Jerry was so wonderful and very accommodating, and he made it a point to emphasize that. Hubby and I had half a Julia’s choice with half margarita. Two different sauce bases. And they were ok with that. And guys, we had a gluten free crust and it didn’t charge extra!! I’ve never experienced that before. And it was tasty. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back again.
My husband and I stopped by and were stunned by the pizza. We have never found a place with pizza similar to our favorite place in New York, until here!
The crust is perfect soft/airy dough and a beautiful crunch. They were very generous with toppings as well!
Our new favorite pizza place in Charlottesville
The food was really good. The side Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. The deluxe pizza was delicious although the onion was a bit heavy. My wife ordered Miss Ann which she enjoyed. I will mention that the food did take a while, but I believe it was do to staffing. The staff was working hard cooking, serving and checking people out. So just be patient, the food is worth the wait and the staff is working hard.
I was the only guest when I arrived and I was greeted immediately. Got my choice of seats and the waiter was friendly. Ordered The Dad which was basically a pepperoni pizza with some extra cheeses. Pizza arrived very quickly and it was delicious. I almost forgot to take a picture. Place was filling up as I was leaving. Great pizza and the best I have had in Charlottesville. I will dine here again.
I hadn't been to this restaurant in many years, and was surprised at how good the food was, with reasonable prices. I had a chicken parm sandwich with macaroni salad side. I'll definitely go back soon for a creative pizza.
