    Pepperoni pizza

    Awesome pizza! Super thin crust crispy great sauce too fresh and delicious! Had a basic pepperoni pie and the potato bliss. Spot on flavor and toppings awesome pizza highly recommend!

    Metaball, red pepper, and ricotta -- the Mama Mia
    Jason P.

    I'm always looking for great pizza in unexpected places in CT. Earlier this year, I noticed Mama Mia on a monthly Yelp List identifying the Most Popular Restaurants in Connecticut. That's how I first learned about @brickandbasil in Yantic. I visited several months ago, but forgot to post my review. There was a bit of a hiccup when I visited. I drove about 40 minutes to get there, and when I arrived, I learned that they were closed for their first ever private Baby Shower party. I was crushed. But this story has a rated PG Happy Ending. I called the restaurant and spoke to Amy. I explained that I had driven a ways and asked if they could make me a pizza to go. They didn't take long to tell me that they would make me the first pizza of the day before the shower got into Full Swing. I was grateful for their hospitality, and terrific wood-fired pizza. I was inside briefly. They have plenty of seating and a bar that with decor suggesting a love of music. I ordered the Mama Mia and ate a couple slices outside. It had sliced meatball, roasted red pepper, mozzarella and ricotta on a good chewy Wood Fired Crust. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The red sauce had bright flavor. The ricotta was creamy and fluffy. Brick and Basil is well respected in pizza circles, and I can see why. It started as a food truck. But a food truck that starts with the word Brick, was bound to have a Brick and Mortar. And we're lucky they do. 5 Stars

    I haven't come to the new location so I wanted to give it a try. Very spacious interior, which they needed because they were very busy. The service was friendly and we didn't feel forgotten. I got a Philly cheesesteak rangoon and a white knight pizza. Pizzas come in one size, about a medium. I thought everything was cooked properly, and the flavor combination of the cheese, bacon, and honey was well balanced. Probably the only down side was the bathrooms might remind you of a dive bar, pretty disappointing for a new building. I can 100% recommend visiting.

    Spinach Gorgonzola salad with added shrimp

    Ive been here many times. The Service and atmosphere is always good. The wait time is hit or miss. It is a spot that has a few dishes I absolutely love, like the turkinator and Mikes hot honey butter bread, and some that were a miss. It is local so stopping by for a to-go order is nothing new. Today I tried a spinach gorganzola salad and added shrimp. Which was a $7 add-on making the whole salad $22.00 and I was very surprised to find only 4 shrimp. I understand everything is expensive but 4 shrimp just kind of seems like stretch. Anywho I do always think this place is good place to stop by if you've never been. However I would stick to the woodfire basics thise never seem to let me down!

    Thai pizza
    Megan K.

    I almost don't want to write a review for here because then other people will know about this hidden gem. But alas, it is too delish not to share. Came here with the besties because the one has been raving about the Thai pizza for forever and we needed this in our lives according to her. She was correct. But I'm getting ahead of myself. We kicked off with some drink specials, I had a Cherry Garcia martini because duh....have you ever heard of a Cherry Garcia martini? I haven't, so I needed it. Absolutely delish, perfect with the cherry on the bottom. Us girls split some Philly cheesesteak wontons, they were annihilated in about 2 mins. We then split the Thai pizza, mashed potato pizza, fig pizza, and took the spicy one to go. Can confirm Thai pizza reigns supreme of all pizza options now and I'll be comparing all future pies to this one, thank you. Amazing. If I could give 30 stars I would. Such out of the box flavors, my heart was happy.

    Potato Bliss and Fresco
    Mike R.

    First time here, had seen it on instagram and decided to head down 395 and try it out. When we walked we were pleasantly surprised seeing the "dead" theme. My lady and I are fans of the dead and Phish so it was cool seeing all the posters. We were told there was a 25 minute wait and we only waited about 8 minutes. We ordered the Fresco and the Potato Bliss. The pizzas were phenomenal, the potato bliss pizza was disappointing because it wasn't the size of the table. I could've eaten 3 of those . The fresco was covered in sweet delicious sauce and tasty mozz. We will definitely be back to try out all the other pizzas.

    2 meatballs with sauce and cheese
    Dawn D.

    Stopped in for lunch with my grandson. He got the turkeynator sandwich with that called risotto risotto. I got the meat balls with fries. I also got a glass of wine. Waitress was very friendly, also the man who seats you. It's a clean place. Both our meals were very tasty and filling. If you're in the area give it a try.

    Today we visited again because it was late and there were not a lot of places open and we had a good experienced yesterday. The food was good, the only thing was the band. We didn't expect the band to be there and they were kind of loud, I mean, they are a live band, which is normal. If you want a quiet dinner, make sure you check to see if the band is going to be playing. The food is great.

    Turkey tips were delicious. Loads of flavor.

    Solid brick oven pizza right off of 395. They offer a wide range on the menu but the star is their brick oven pizza. We did takeout here and overall experience was pleasant. They do Toast so payment was easy. Mowie Wowie Pizza was very tasty with the mixture of pineapple and bacon. And yes, pineapple on pizza does belong. Lol. Many pizza places don't offer any other dinner entrees other than salad but Brick and Basil does. We've tried the Turkey Tips entree and that was also a winner. Loved how the turkey tips were marinaded in honey bourbon. Turkey was incredibly moist. Truly enjoyed it. They also offer your usual coke beverages--but also the local Hosmer sodas which is a CT hidden gem. Overall staff was very pleasant during my short visit. Restaurant was easy to find and plenty of parking. Cheers.

    Ordered a bacon pizza and 2 "Butchers" (Pepperoni, Sausage, Bacon, Meatball, and Woodfired Chicken). Amazing pizza. I LOVE wood fire and the authenticity of it. Will definitely be back! Dog friendly

    Turkanator

    Pizza is amazing! Well balanced ingredients. Every bite is consistently good. Going again and again. The turkanator sandwich is a must!

    Classic pepperoni pizza!

    Great pizza and possibly the best pizza in Eastern Ct. Our group had one pepperoni, one clam and one sausage. All pizzas were fantastic!

    The owner and workers are awesome people. They engaged in conversation. They are down to earth and…read morethey put out some amazing food. Definitely stopping at their food truck again!! I look forward to testing more of their menu. The fries were well seasoned and perfectly crispy. I love the rolls and it's even better that it wasn't hot dog buns!! They should produce key rings for purchase - the number tags are awesome and I would definitely buy one.

    For over three years, I would be driving to central Connecticut to ride the rail trails, and I…read morewould pass this food truck on route 138 in Griswold. Each time I've been heading out, I'd tell myself, "I'll stop on the way back." But every time, I'd be so tired from my ride or just really wanted to get into a hot shower, that I'd murmur to myself, "Next time." Well, after this scenario played itself out for the umpteenth time, I decided to ride out to it by way of Arcadia. OMFG! Was this place ever so good! The absolutely best French Fries I've ever eaten and after looking at the menu, I can understand why. Being a small food truck, they probably only have one fryolator. So everything gets cooked in the oil they use. The Hot Dog I ordered was the BBQ Dawgg. A beef Hot Dog wrapped in Bacon and then deep fried until the Bacon is crispy. Into a tasty, but not overly huge Bun and topped with grilled Onions and BBQ Sauce. So you get the Bacon fat and Hot Dog fat mixing in with whatever kind of oil they are using, which imparts all those flavors into the French Fries. Service is fast and friendly.
