My husband and I was visiting and I wanted a canzone and we went to Brenda's...O M G it was absolutely amazing. The calzone was huge and extremely delicious. The staff including the owner was very polite and accommodating. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. read more

The food was great the prices reasonable and the service was good. We are here on vacation but would stop in again next time we are in town.

I had little to no expectations stopping here for a weekend getaway, but this was some of the better NY style pizza I've had in some time. The woman working the counter was not the nicest upon originally checking in (I was too early for the pizza and she made that clear to me), but the food made up for the dry attitude. I don't normally go for white pizza as well, and thought their version was spectacular and full of flavor. read more

EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY!!!!!!!!! All the food is fresh, well made and delicious. We highly recommend Brenda's Pizzeria. read more

I have tried this pizzeria twice. The first time I got a veggie calzone and it was just ok. But I decided to try it again to see if it was a one-off situation. We ordered a good amount of food this time to try many things. We ordered online and did pick up. Most things were ready when we got there but we had to wait a few minutes. When we got everything they went through it but I don't notice the missing toppings until we drove 15 mins home. Our chicken Cesar salad didn't have any chicken. So we went back 15 mins and then home another 15 mins. They didn't offer anything as an I'm sorry. By the time we got home our food was cold and then I realized they forgot the tomatoes on the salad that I paid extra for on the app. It was very disappointing. When we ate we weren't super impressed liked the first time we ordered from them. The shrimp were ok and not worth $25 price tag, the chicken tenders were not cleaned properly and still had the tendons in them, the eggplant was soggy (probably from the wait), the pizza was ok but again cold. All in all we paid over $130 for dinner and it was just ok. We were so tired and just wanted to have a nice dinner at home and it was not what we got. I hope they make corrections in the future. read more

We had two of their pizzas and both tasted fresh and delicious. The pizzas are huge! I think it's a great bang for the buck! If in the area again and the hubby wants pizza, this is where we will Be going read more

Ordered out to this local spot. It has nice reviews so we figured we would give it a shot. We ordered online, the prices were a little expensive for two pies. But the pizzas were ready like it said it would online. We ordered a fire cracker pizza and a ham and bacon pizza. Both were good. The firecracker pizza was spicy and tasty, but had given me instant regret as it did not sit with me well. Otherwise the pizza was good and had unique flavors. read more

POSITIVES I would recommended this exquisite pizzeria to anyone lookin for a delish dining this was our doce time here I got the nice little ceaser salad with ranch the ranch had a different kind of taste from other ranches I have tasted, I could single handedly lived off eating that ranch for the rest of my life. My dad also liked his pizza he said. CONS!!!!!!! Before you even try ordering a slice of pizza with a topping of broccoli be aware they have no generosity with the amount they put on it. They put about ocho broccolis on it which all of them were tiny I would need a microscope to see it. Other than that it was nice. read more

We were back in the area October 10 on our way to a tiny home in northern Virginia from Pittsburgh so we stopped at Brenda's again. I said it in my last review and I'll say it again...this is possibly the best pizza I've ever had! Since we were on the motorcycle this time we strapped the leftovers on the back. The next weekend we were on the way back from Blackwater Falls, WV with friends and stopped in again! They loved it too. read more

A reliable spot for great pizza. After a long day of skiing, Brenda's is the easiest and best spot for dinner. Honestly I was a little shocked by how good it was. read more

Sooooo good!! We loved it! Will be back! Friendly! Took it to go eat at the beach. There really isn't seating. First time there. read more

The pizza is fantastic, and the sauce is even better!! We ordered take out, and when we went in the food was ready when it was supposed to be and everyone was very nice. We would go back or order take out in a heartbeat read more

I didn't manage to snap a photo of our pies, but Brenda's pizza is excellent! My extended family visited Deep Creek recently and we enjoyed both the veggie and hot honey pepperoni pizzas. The slices are huge and the crust is great, and we loved the toppings! The location is central to the main town area and it's a cute interior (next to a cute coffee shop, too). It's a no-brainer, this place is a wonderful option for vacation meals for a crowd. One tip is to order with plenty of time in advance, since this spot is BUSY and might have a long wait time! Will 100% return on our next Deep Creek visit! read more

Love that they serve pizza by the slide and full pies. Very much NY style pizza. Other great pasta options on the menu!

Brenda's was delicious for our arrival trip take-out. Upon arrival, it oozed local favorite and local pizzeria joint to the "T" as I took it all in. If that weren't enough to entice you, the HUGE (20" I believe) pizzas are done NY style and fed 3 guys (200#+) for 2.5 days on a weekend trip. After we had settled in and dove in, between the "za" and "sticks" we couldn't recommend this place more! It may be pricier than say Domino's or "Da Hut" - but you are gonna get what you pay for in this case. When we return for our next trip we will place the same order and hope to make this an annual trip and thus an annual (at least) trip to Brenda's. There is not a better place to get your pizza fix in the area, and I promise there will always be plenty of leftovers that bake up perfectly in an oven on a baking sheet. read more

The Abbondanza (the giant pizza) is a great deal for a larger group that wants to share. The pizza sauce is delicious. The Stromboli is great and well filled (not mostly bread). Over all, the food was hot, fresh and delicious. Staff were friendly, but our server was a little absent after we got our food so we had to wave someone down after 10 minutes because something was missing from the salad. Would definitely return. read more

Excellent pizza... the best I've had in years. Plain Pizza is perfect blend of cheeses and great crust. Nice friendly service and good prices. read more

We ordered Brenda's for our first night take out on a trip to Deep Creek Lake. We ordered a margherita, chicken bacon ranch, and pepperoni. We also ordered salad, chicken fettuccine, bread sticks, and cheese sticks. Pros: The pizza was delicious! We all enjoyed and it was more than enough for our group of 8 adults for us to have several days of leftovers. Cons: The cheese sticks were just okay. It's a loaf of bread with cheese in the middle which was not quite what I was expecting. Our salad dressing was forgotten. read more

First time getting Brenda's this last weekend and it was great! They were very busy (as expected) due to Labor Day but I feel it was worth the wait! Loved everything about it & we also got the baked ziti. Will be back! read more

Brenda's makes some really good NY style pizza! Stopped here in the way back to Ohio based on Google reviews and we were pleasantly surprised. The AC was broken that day and it was very warm there, but the service was very quick, efficient and friendly. Ours even made sure to see if we needed boxes or the check before taking drink orders from a very large party, which was much appreciated. The pizza is available by the slice, as any true NY style shop should offer (though many don't) and priced very fairly. You select the sauce - red or white - and your toppings. I ordered a red sauce plain, red sauce with pepperoni and tomato and a white sauce with sausage and micro basil. Both sauces were delicious! The red is packed with tomato flavor and has a great balance of salty and sweet. The white sauce is creamy and garlicky and the ricotta cheese has an incredible flavor. My two complaints are the crust was pretty soft and lacked the crispy crunch of an NY slice. While the crust was still foldable, my toppings were loose and not melted in with the cheese so they all fell to the bottom of the fold. A minor inconvenience, but an important aspect of a great slice. I will certainly visit Brenda's again, should I find myself in the area. read more

So good (and we are pretty particular about our pizza). Recommend asking for extra sauce. Great antipasta, and authentic NY pizza. You go, Brenda! read more

Dang this is great pizza. Was staying at a nearby state park - just me and the dog and saw the reviews. In our home town decent pizza hard to get - think $18 and they wave the pepperoni and sausage over it. Nothing skimpy about this pizza - amazing I'm sure they still make a great profit plus I'm not offended by the sparse ingredients. They actually made a mistake and made a larger pizza for me even through the small was going to be too much. I saw a couple outside who I gave 1/3 of it away to - rather than having outstanding pizza go to waste. Thus the on the hood photo! read more

Great NY style pizza. My family shared a 20" bbq chicken, pepperoni, and 16" firecracker. Pizzas were fresh and had good crust. We really enjoyed the firecracker which had sausage, pineapple, jalapeño, and a sweet/spicy sauce. read more

Great pizza. Great service! We go here every time we are in Deep Creek, even though they don't deliver.

On of the best pizza spots in the world, in Deep Creek MD. The aroma from the box when we drove it back to my sister's house in Thomas WV, was something that brought me back to my childhood days in Brooklyn. This is the way pizza was intended to be made. True pizza enthusiasts need to come check this spot out. It is true NY pizza as advertised, in one of the most beautiful areas in the world. I'll be back every time I come visit my sister, well done! read more

This pizza was freaking delicious! The crust was superior and it was my favorite place we ate at while in Deep Creek. There was a live band playing the night we went and it was a fun, festive time. I didn't take a pic of the pizza, but that's bc I was too busy stuffing my face with this delicious pizza! Our servers were so kind too! read more

Ordered a plain and another with peppers, sausage, and pepperoni. Delicious and hot when we picked it up. Order early! They are busy and worth the wait. read more

We got the pizza! It was great! My daughter is gluten-free and she had the salad with the Italian dressing. Very yummy!

Great regular and gluten free pizza! We ordered an enormous 20 inch pizza and thought that we would have leftovers but we couldn't help ourselves. The gluten free pizza seemed like it was homemade and not the typical premade frozen pizza dough. read more

Good! Great place to stop after skiing for a good meal. Our food (2 pizzas) came out a bit slow because of an unknown kitchen problem but our waiter was kind and kept us updated. I will say I felt like the firecracker pizza had too much sweet/spicy sauce that made it really rich and sweet- next time I'd get less or on the side, but overall a good place and good pizza!! read more

Must go! Do not miss this. The bruschetta was delicious. The Caesar salad was legit. The pizza was a 9/10 as the crust could have a little more chew. Everything was amazing! read more

AMAZING. Perhaps the best pizza I have ever had - the meat supreme 20". We went to multiple fancier restaurants but my group could not stop going on about how amazing it was. read more

Omg, I can't believe it's been over FIVE years since I've had Brenda's pizza! And I stand by my last review. HUGE, delicious NY style pizza. Easy online ordering. Order ready usually 5 min before scheduled time. Perfect party pizzas. We took advantage of half price pizza Monday (15% off specialty pizzas) & got a 20" Sei Cosi. Yum!!! If you want pizza at the lake (especially for take out) this is your place! read more

Great food! Pizzas were fantastic, subs were very tasty! We loved the food and the service.

Fantastic pizza! It makes me miss Brooklyn. Wait times in the Summer can be long. But that's because everyone knows how good this place is. The wait is reasonable the rest of the year. You can't go wrong with Brenda's read more

Deep Creek doesn't have very many great options, but Brenda's is always on our list. The staff are very friendly, the food is reasonable priced. It's usually crowded but they keep the tables moving so we've never had a terribly long time to wait. This is a family friendly place, so if you have lots of mouths to feed, put this on the list! Brenda's management - if you're reading this -- consider investing in a wood fired pizza oven. Your pies are great today, but they'd be next level with a hint of wood smoke on them (and a guaranteed 5th star from me!). read more

Wow! We stayed two nights in Deep Creek, and ordered takeout twice! My friend called it a "staple" of DC so I had to check it out. White Pizza - fantastic! The slices are giant, and I really loved the variety of cheeses they used, it was high quality for sure. The crust was also awesome, a unique "crispy/yet still doughy" feel. Eggplant Parmesan - very good! It's rare to order eggplant Parmesan that's not just pasta and sprinkle cheese. Brenda's was a large portion, with fresh pasta sauce, tons of cheese, and tons of eggplant. Would definitely stop here again, everything was great! They close early, and if online ordering is unavailable they may still be able to take your order over the phone. read more
