My kids like the cheese pizza. The crust is just so hard to bite and chew. I don't get the hype overall but we've been a few times and have had a good experience. Growing up in Chicago, my pizza preferences are different than my suburban kids I guess! read more

Went in for take out order. Multiple employees behind the counter (I'm the only one in there and they see me but they're completely ignoring me) that's went on for close to five minutes finally he walks up doesn't even say sorry for waiting or anything just takes the order like I'm bothering him. Not good customer service. read more

I have been here a few times, but never written a review. The last time I came in, my mom and I had a good experience. We couldn't decide on a beer, so the cashier let us taste two of them before getting a round. For food, we ordered a greek salad with chicken and a pepperoni pizza. The pizzas are individual sized, so sharing it with the salad worked perfectly. Our food came out quickly despite how busy it was on a Thursday night. The salad was fresh and the dressing delicious. It was a big salad and we didn't even finish it. The pepperoni pizza was also really good. The crust came out crispy without being burnt and there was a good amount of pepperoni on the pizza. Overall, this is a great place to stop in for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner. It has a great location and while the weather is nice, they have the large windows open for a nice breeze. read more

I had my coupon for two 12 inch pizzas, so I was looking forward to trying two different ones. The crust comes out crispy all the way through to the bottom, as it should be. Plus it still has a little bit of chew, which is how a thin crust pizza should be made. First, I went with the artichoke pesto and roasted peppers. I liked that each slice had a piece of artichoke in it. I think I would have added sliced tomatoes just to balance the assertiveness of the pesto and artichokes. The Italian sausage and peppers was very enjoyable. It has mild sausage along with red and yellow peppers and red onions. Visually, it's very pleasing with the different colors. One thing I would have preferred would have been to slice the red onions into smaller pieces. The pizza had full slices, so sometimes I would just bite the whole onion off. But the ingredients were well balance, not too much sauce, not too much cheese. Also, I give them a lot of credit for using Boar's Head meats, far and away the best brand of deli meats. And they even sell Carole's cookies for dessert, only the best cookies in the world! One major knock though. A Pepsi freestyle machine instead of Coke. And the only iced tea is Brisk, inside the machine some fresh brewed would a welcome addition. read more

I picked Bricks at random as a place to meet up with friends for lunch before a meeting we were attending in Wheaton, and I'm pretty sure I nailed it. I arrived a few minutes before they opened and was able to lay claim to the only two large tables situated right next to each other. The service was great throughout the entirety of our stay. I ordered The Spring Goat, Bricks' current pizza of the month, and I can't say enough positive things about it. My pizza came with proscuitto, jalapeno, and goat cheese. The simplicity of the toppings allowed me to really focus on and enjoy the deliciousness of the crust. I traded a couple of slices with friends and, though the barbecue and Brick's pizzas were okay, there was a little too much sauce for my liking. I discovered a Yelp deal for free bread bites midway through our meal and they were awesome, too. I'm glad I had the opportunity to eat lunch at Bricks Wood Fired Pizza Cafe! If this restaurant were closer to my house, I'd come here all the time. read more

Fresh and amazing. I called to make sure my dairy Allergan child could eat there and they were amazing about adjusting to it. I asked if i could bring my daughters vegan cheese to top her pizza and they were more than cooperative. My daughter acutally felt like a normal kid to be able to order like everyone else. We will definitely be coming here again. read more

Pretty good pizza. Always crowded. The meatball pizza is a favorite of many. There's a yelp check-in offer for free garlic bread, but it isn't very good. Better parking than most of downtown Wheaton because there are angled spots in front. read more

Love the hot honey/pepperoni and the bbq chicken pizzas. Billy Bricks is one of our favorite pizzerias.

I was thrilled when I found wood-fired pizza at Bricks' location in Lombard, and was delighted when they opened a location in Wheaton. Periodically they run Groupons, which I don't understand, as I'm happy to pay full price here. There are two or three vegetarian pizza options (hard to go wrong with the Very Veggie) and they're happy to make a non-vegie version without the meat. It's fast casual, and sometimes it gets really busy, so if you're expecting to make a personal connection with your server, well, they'll bring it to your table but that's it. The toppings are fresh, the service is pretty fast, and it's one of the places where yes, I'm eating all the crust. We go here occasionally for dinner, and we usually take relatives here when they visit. read more

I had heard a lot of good things about the Bricks in Lombard, unfortunately I was too lazy make the drive over there to try it. Thankfully they were successful enough to branch out near me to accommodate lazy asses like myself. Located next to a Starbucks this place is a small quaint little pizza shop in downtown Wheaton. What stands out as you enter is the gigantic wood burning oven.(See picture) Its huge and takes up like 1/4 of the space inside. Being a bit of a pizza snob, this was a good sign. Now lets talk about food, I had the: Side Salad: pretty big for a side salad, it comes with a sweet balsamic dressing that I really like. (3.50) Mild Sausage Pizza with roasted Garlic: All the pizza's here are personal 12 inch pizza's which I like and mine came the way I like it. The crust is very thin and chewy. When you pick up a slice the front sort of flops around so its best to eat it folded NY style. Cheese was good and doesn't drag off the slice. The sausage is clearly not run of the mill sausage, and the sauce was semisweet which I really like on thin crust. (around 12 bucks) Overall this is as good as it gets in the burbs in terms of thin crust pizza. Normally I would find some flaw to take a star away but this place actually pleasantly surprised me with its staff. You walk in and you see what looks like a bunch of teens in the kitchen. Normally I expect sh*tty service with a side of equally sh!tty attitude with people this young but these guys and gals were great. They were quick, knowledgeable and polite. Can't get much better than this. GO CHECK IT OUT!! read more

So... that was kind of delicious. There were three of us and we got three different pizzas.. Sausage and peppers (me, yay!) The Brick's Pizza (Sausage and Mushrooms) and a Veggie. Since I despise mushrooms and love meat.. I was only interested in one of those pizza's... I had a fork in my hand and anybody caught reaching was placing themselves at considerable potential risk. Really, my pizza was excellent, great sauce good amount of cheese... just really, really good. I'll get exactly the same thing next time. I also ordered a Caesar salad and it was big enough for all of us to share, it was very good and everyone was glad that I wasn't selfish about that too. :) Couple of things.. prices are good, it's super casual.. you walk in order your pizza at the counter and then take a seat. You also help yourself to the soda machine and the soda is in paper cups. they serve wine and beer, the wine is served in cute little water glasses. The hot sauce is super wimpy and the hot pepper flakes don't come out of the container very well... I might bring my own stuff with me next time. One thing that put a damper on the evening was the girl at the end. She asked if we needed boxes (I was a pig and finished mine, the ladies still had half a pizza each) and then brought out one small one, we asked if we could have a second.. she said sure and then literally tossed the box on top of my sister in laws pizza. We were baffled by why she would do that. The wood fired pizza places are popping up all over the place. I thought this pizza was superior to La Fiamme in Naperville and much, much better than the stuff Mariano's put's out. Overall a good experience and we will definitely go back again. read more

Oh gosh I love this place!!! I was to attend a Yelp Elite Event a few blocks down at Peet's Coffee and was told we were getting samples and to eat in advance...I figured I'd eat after but since the event ended at 8pm, I didn't want a huge dinner and didn't want to waste time driving so I did my research in advance on dinner. I've been to downtown Wheaton a few times, but I couldn't name one restaurant in the area so I looked on Yelp and found this place. After the event last night at Peet's my sister came here - we both got a side salad, split the quattro formaggio pizza and got drinks. Splitting the bill we paid $11 and some change. The pizza was amazing!!! I always love a pizza from a wood burning oven, but this was sooooo tasty!!!! It was just the proper amount of food, and we were very satisfied! This is the type of place where you order, sit down, and they bring you your food. We got in around 7:30ish and were in and out with minimal wait time...super fast, actually to get our food. There are other locations - Naperville and Downers Grove so I'm resided pretty much in the middle among these places, I WILL be back for more!!! read more

Having eaten here at least a couple times per month since it opened, it's high time I actually write a review. We've enjoyed dining indoors and out, except for when we get the table next to the Starbucks bench where a man who is smelly often likes to sit. It's a bustling restaurant with a fun feel to it, definitely family friendly but we've also seen people (not us!) enjoying a sophisticated, adult meal. I love everything I've eaten here. Well, that might be an exaggeration. I tried a bite of arugula pizza once and did not care for it, but that's just cause a salad pizza is so far from my thing. Here is some of what I've loved: BBQ chicken pizza Veggie pizza Plain old cheese pizza Create your own pizza with evoo sauce and goat cheese Spinach artichoke appetizer Meatballs BBQ chicken sandwich Pesto sandwich Mozzarella tomato basil sandwich The pizza is delicious, of course. But the sandwiches are the real standout for me. I enjoy the crusty rolls and the way each half is wrapped in paper because the contents are so gooey. I just ate, and now I'm making myself hungry again. Finally, the cookies are not to be overlooked. When we talk about what downtown Wheaton needs, it's always "more places like Bricks." read more

The pizza is great. But I'm on order 3 that got messed up. I ordered at 6:48pm through grubhub for pick up. I have an email saying the the order was received pick up at 7:45. I arrived at 7:30 for a status check. They couldn't find the order. Even though I have a confirmation number. They weren't sure if my card got charged. I guess I will check. No offer of any service recovery just sorry for your luck go away. My suggestion to Billybricks is stop using grubhub. I guess when your to busy for your own good who cares if you lose a few customers. I will now go home to my disappointed kids and answer passive aggressive questioning from wife trying to establish how Billy Bricks losing the order is my fault. Thanks Billy Bricks. read more

We had lunch at Brick's Wood Fired Pizza & Café on Saturday and had a tasty time. Décor: There really is not much to say about the look and feel of this place. It is a pretty typical small-and-in-a-strip-mall restaurant with a and handful of tables and a single dining room. The menu is huge and on the wall when you walk in, you can't miss it, and the lighting is decent (not dark, but not blaring). It didn't seem to be too crowded while we were there, although every table was filled (there just wasn't a line out the door). Bathroom: clean and well looked after Staff: The cashier and food delivery guys were all nice and kept this straight business. Our food came out relatively quickly although not everything came at the same time (wasn't a huge deal though). Food: We had an assortment of times ranging from the Chicken Salad Sandwich and the Tuna Sandwich to a salad. I also had the Bruschetta appetizer with my sandwich. The bruschetta was just so-so... there were only four small pieces of bread buried under a huge mound of semi-diced tomatoes that were over oiled with balsamic. Normally I'm a big fan of bruschetta but this wasn't to my liking. My sandwich, however, was very tasty - they (thankfully) only put the bread in the wood-fired oven and nothing else. That's what made it great: hot bread w/ cold chicken salad. The tuna was the same and the salad was pretty standard. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the sandwiches are good sized. Value: The prices are not terrible here, you'll leave feeling like you paid just enough. We'll keep this place in mind for the future as we did not try their (assumed) specialty: the pizza. read more

Highly recommend for a quick but delicious bite! The variety of pizza and salads are soooooo yummy! I had the cranberry apple salad and it was super refreshing and full of flavor! The pizzas are also one of my favorites! The thin crust Italian style pizza is defiantly worth it. It's a place that's kid friendly and has enough space for a bigger group of people but also good for a smaller intimate lunch with friends or coworkers. The service is super friendly and nice and attend to everything you need. read more

Lunch. Casual with gourmet, wood fired pies. Order at counter but food is delivered. Pizza was top notch. Good crust, fresh ingredients and not heavy with the red sauce. Price and quality make it a real value. read more

I saw that this place was on Chicago 190 North. So of course I had to try it myself to see what's the bragging all about. I definitely did like it and it was surprising that they serve alcohol. Would definitely go back and try some of their other pizzas. Having an egg on your pizza sounds weird but definitely good. read more

Bricks has a very cozy atmosphere since the lighting was dimmed for the dinner crowd. Came on a Saturday night around 7pm and there was a few tables open. My group ordered the Big Piluski which came with artichokes, roasted red peppers, prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes, and black olives. When I've gotten wood fire pizzas the crust usually ends up a bit too burned for my liking, however,Bricks crust was cooked perfectly. However the flavors were good but not great it's a good spot if you want better pizza than Domino's, Papa John's, etc. We also got bread bites with the check in which were pieces of bread with hints of garlic . Overall a very relaxing and delectable dinner. read more

Cute scenic area. Perfect for a date night. The mac and cheese was a bit pricey just for a small bowl of cheesy noodles, but it was fun to order your own personalized pizza. Would recommend to try it out for something new or change of scenery. read more

Nice cozy little pizza place. Pizza's came out hot and quickly. Enjoyed the variety on the menu. Ordered the sunny side up, prosciutto with baby spinach, and BBQ chicken. All of the pizzas were good. Thinner crust style in a wood fire oven produces nice flavor. My only complaints would be the price for a rather small pizza and the abundance of burnt flour and crust underneath. Staff was excellent and friendly, prompt in cleaning the tables and setting our group of 7 up with a longer table set up to accommodate us all. read more

A very tasty tuna sandwich on a toasted roll that includes some onions and some walnuts. It's an unique sandwich and always my favorite. Comes with a small bag of kettle chips. My only beef has nothing to do with the quality of the food but placing an order online. This may in fact may not even be the business but Grub hub. In order to save time and speed up the pick up time, I ordered online first only find it took longer and cost more then just walking in and ordering! It was not delivered, but picked up! It's a bit confusing when you want to order in advance but get detailed by Grub hub. read more

Excellent pizza! Great appetizers & skillet cookies are great too. Kinda like Panera experience. We always enjoy the food!

Just had Billy Bricks cater an event at the lake ellyn boathouse. They were great. Everything was setup and delivered as promised. We had appetizers, salad and pizzas fresh from the glass walled truck. The staff was attentive and my guests loved ordering their custom pizzas. Excellent experience and I would use them again. read more

The pepperoni and banana pepper was top notch. Incredibly delicious. Fast as well. The perfect lunch.

I'm a fan of the Naperville location, but this was my first time at the one in Wheaton. The service and quality of food is consistent: great! Our order came out fast and tastes great! We had an order of the garlic bread, which was topped with lots of cheese as served with marinara sauce. Yum! I had the pepperoni and banana pepper pizza, my favorite. And so much food, I ended up bringing half my pizza home for leftovers. The employees were friendly and made sure everything was good. This Bricks was just as great as the one in Naperville, I'll definitely stop by when I'm in the area. read more

Great for quick, delicious pizza! Skip on the sandwiches, they're only OK. Spend your money on the pizza and wine here instead! The pizza is solid, usually with plenty of toppings, cheese, and sauce. I say "usually" because there are times where the toppings seemed either rushed or they were low on them and were trying to ration them out. Example - Usually if I get bell peppers on my pizza, there's a good amount, evenly sprinkled throughout. But sometimes I have gotten what amounted to one, long, thin slice of red bell pepper per slice and it's like WTFFFFF?!?!?!?! The crust is OK. It goes in the area of "I could eat it, but I won't feel bad at all for tossing it." The wine here is nice with the pizza! Great for dinner. I have this tendency to pair the pizza with some coffee with the Starbucks on the block's corner for lunch. Why? I don't know, but try it! read more

I like the product. I just don't love it. Nothing to dislike, just kind of boring. I've come to determine that crust makes all the difference in pizza, and I feel that Bricks crust is just kind of tasteless. Its a good quality product, and consistent (I've been to the lombard location a couple of times). I had the standard "Bricks" pizza, and none of the ingredients really did much for me. My taste buds didn't get excited over any of the toppings either. No real flavor from the mild or hot italian sausage, nor red onions, which I love. I don't know, I'm sure I'll likely be back to try again, as I'm a sucker for pizza. That 'sunnyside up' pizza is very intriguing. read more

Carried out margarita pizza. Crust was excellent, toppings were wet and messy. Taste was just ok.

I tried very hard to remain upbeat about my experience at Bricks, but the lasting impression is simply that this restaurant is mediocre, and I will not be back. My husband and I went to the restaurant on a Tuesday evening around 6 p.m. We ordered our pizzas, a caprese salad, and two craft beers. The caprese was quite large, so I will give Bricks credit for not skimping on its portion sizes. About two minutes after the salad arrived, our pizzas showed up as well. While I understand many Americans eat a side salad, ours was meant to be an appetizer, so we would have preferred more time in between the salad's arrival and the pizzas' appearance. I know this is a fast casual restaurant, but we did have to call someone over to clean our table initially, and no one came to check on us after the meal had been served. I think a little more customer service was in order. What made the dining experienced particularly horrendous, though, was a group of teenagers seated out front on the sidewalk (as this was summertime, the restaurant's window was open). They had a dog with them who did not stop yipping the entire time we were there. They also apparently could not remain in their seats, as the moment one would sit down, another would get up. The teenagers spent over an hour screaming, literally, about absolute nonsense while splitting a small pizza between 10 of them. In other words, they were more interested in using the table than actually eating at the restaurant. I teach high school students, and I cannot recall the last time I have encountered such a rude and oblivious children at a restaurant. I really wondered why the restaurant never approached the teens to control their behavior, or even ask them to leave, as it was quite clear they were not there to eat. The restaurant's response to these teenagers is a very large part of the reason why we will not go back. And no, we did not lodge a formal complaint with the manager, but we did mention the noise level to our server, who shrugged it off nonchalantly. Even without a complaint, I would think that the restaurant could clearly see the children were obnoxious, as the entire restaurant was repeatedly subjected to their loud screams and shrieks. read more

This is a carry out, non-pizza review because somebody has to do it! Son #1 is crazy for a good Italian sub and heard this place had some great ones. He could yelp about all the places in the western suburbs and the Italian subs, but that would require some effort and alas, that is not him. He'll drive and get the food and IF YOU ASK, he will tell you about it, but that's it. Ok, sorry for the Motherly digression. I walked in around 1 on a weekday and there was no line and I ordered an Italian sub and a salad. They have several salads to pick from and I chose one with bacon in it (food of the Gods). I had to wait 3-5 minutes while they made it up fresh and I was on my way. I stopped next door and picked up a Starbucks and headed home. Son #1 enjoyed his sub sandwich, but I just got a "meh" from him about it. He said the bread was great, but it could have had more meat. I REALLY liked my salad. It was pretty big and I only ate half of it and saved the rest for later. So, no pizza was ordered or consumed on this visit, so that review will come later! read more

Bricks is a bit confusing for me. The few times I've been to Bricks, the pizza was pretty good. Ingredients were fresh, and the pizza was prepared well - though I would say I felt the prices were slightly high for the product. The price really isn't a major complaint. Decent pizza is worth the price. Fresh, well-prepared pizza is a good thing. The downside, really, is that it just feels impersonal. It feels almost robotic to eat there. I'm not sure, outside of the order, that we had any human interaction. Our food was dropped off and that was that. There's really no "experience" to speak of beyond eating pizza. Decor is ok. Eating space is small. Don't get me wrong, eating pizza is awesome, but when you go out, it's nice to have an experience beyond the food. I think an emphasis on customer service and personalizing the process/ adding interest would take Bricks to the next level. For now, there are more interesting food experiences in the area for dates and family meals. read more

Well I thought I would love this place because I LOVE a pizza cooked in a wood burning oven but Brick's let me down. Do you know Noodles? It's exactlty the same concept except it's pizza and not pasta. You walk in, look at a menu board and order. You can have one of their standard pizzas or create your own. They also have sammies and salads and a few (few) craft beers. You pay, they give you a number and you get your own drink (not beer), put your plastic number thingie in the holder and wait for your pizza. The pizza comes out super fast. Duh, it's in a friggin inferno of a wood burning oven. The concept is great but the pizza was underwhelming. I had the no red sauce version with olive oil, cheese, proscuitto and arugla. It looked AMAZING! It tasted...well average. Daughter had the spinach and feta and that was better than my choice. Hubs had the quattro (4 cheese) and added hot peppers. His was limp (hello! his pizza not his... you know). The restaurant is clean but it's really cramped, seating wise. I don't know, I expected it to be much better but nothing really stood out. I think it's a great choice for Moms on the run with little ones or teenagers to get their pizza on but the vibe and actual pizza didn't do it for me. I think they use quality ingredients but for some reason I was underwhelmed. I don't think we will be back. Too many other choice for pizza with a better vibe in Chicago and the suburbs. read more
