    2 slice pizza and can
    Angie Y.

    I am a total pizza snob, I have probably tried at least most of all of the pizza spots in Northern NJ and am always looking for new spots to enjoy a couple slices -- and this joint did not disappoint! I just had a couple of classic cheese slices and they were phenomenal -- the sauce was sweet and tasty, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the crust was so crunchy and perfectly golden brown. Seriously wasn't expecting to enjoy this random drop in so much but am so happy I did -- will be back to try their other menu options such as hot subs and personal pizzas!

    Hey guys! This place is amazing!

    Hey guys! Tom is a great guy; he has a great passion to make food tasty as much as possible! I ordered this rice bowl and it tasted so good! Yeah, I made a mistake for just ordering fries but it's all good! Tom helped me to add both beef and rice in this rice bowl! Next time, I'll make sure I'll add rice in this yummy bowl! Paramus, NJ is never the same without you guys!

    The establishment is small, cozy and nice to have a quick bite to eat on any night. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered the fat boy sandwich (The name does it justice) which is a play on the Rutgers grease trucks sandwiches, but elevated. The place the sandwich on a nice crunchy and fresh Italian bread and the ingredients tasted home made. The portion was enough for two people. My son also ordered the vodka cheese fries and those were delicious. Mozzarella cheese and vodka sauce on home made fries!!!! Definitely a good find.

    We tried this place out for the first time after seeing all the good reviews... I'll start with the good. The place was clean, great ambiance and friendly staff. The pizza was good but I wouldn't give it 5 stars. This pizza was just above average in my humble opinion. I'll give it another go in the future in case they were having an off night.

    So I ordered lunch from this location and ordered a bunch of things. I ordered the personal vegan chicken pizza for myself. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted. The service was very good and the manager came and explained how they are going to be expanding their vegan menu. He explained what they use and I really liked the idea. When I got in I ate the pizza and I wasn't a huge fan of it. I think it was mainly the vegan chicken they used. The crust was good though. I would need to try another vegan option because there were others.

    Delicious vegan options! We had their vegan meatball pie and vegan penne pasta pie with their vegan cheese. Both were excellent! Staff is super friendly and called to confirm our order. Even our Uber delivery guy mentioned how friendly they were and how clean the restaurant was.

    Went here with a vegetarian friend, who is also not a huge fan of the veggie burgers that taste too…read moremuch like meat. It was a risk, because you know how vegetarians can get about cheese (I'm vegan now. When I used to be vegetarian, I'd get annoyed if a meal didn't have cheese in it, or if it had vegan cheese. I've noticed that a lot of my currently vegetarian friends are the same.) , but I figured that he would be cool about it, because he knew that there wasn't much else in the area that I could eat that had a/c. I love my city, but the restaurants need to get their a/c game in order. This is a slightly elevated burger joint. The options are meant to be on the healthier side, so they do stuff like sweet potato fries or a side salad with the burgers instead of potato fries. Here's my tip: get the salad. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much flavour they can pack into a small but mighty green salad with some dressing on the side. It'll mean that you can avoid eating sweet potatoes (unless you like sweet potato, in which case, you're at the right place). That said, the side salad was excellent. Crisp greens, and a few bonus veg, with a creamy tasting dressing. No complaints, 5 stars. My friend got the black bean burger, and I got the chickpea burger. We got the burgers exactly a said on the menu with no customisation. This was a very VERY good choice. The chefs at Brick City Vegan know what they're doing, and they absolutely season the heck out of the food. Everything tasted so good, and the table fell silent as we demolished the food in front of us in the cool a/c. There was a napkin dispenser on the table, which you will need, because the burgers are generously sauced, and a bit of a mess to eat. Who cares? The food is incredible, and just the right amount of filling. Both of us ate every last morsel, and left feeling satisfied. For both of our burgers, I think it was less than $30 grand total after taxes. Not the cheapest meal, but certainly not at all expensive by vegan standards.

Staff is quick to attend and very kind to take accommodations and answer questions. The rolls were good, pretty close to shrimp honestly. The peanut plate was delicious. There was a sweet and savory taste to the meal, and everything was just so good. Everything on the plate mixed very well with each other and every bite was a delight. The beef looking plate was just as good in its own way. The chicken drumsticks are A FAVORITE!! Wow those are so delicious and crispy. The tea is always a delight to drink with the meals. Can't remember the other two meals, but they were all good. My party split them all four ways to try everything and it was delightful. I don't feel icky after eating so much, and the portions are huge. Waiter was very patient with my grandmother who 1) doesn't speak english 2) is diabetic so we had to find something safe for her to eat. 110% recommend this place to anyone. It's vegetarian/vegan only, but honestly the food was better than meals I've had with meat. Food felt good to eat, i didn't feel sick or overly full and heavy from it all.

The prices are very reasonable and even more so during lunch hours. They also have a great selection of deserts. I asked for them to wrap up our leftovers without plastic and they were able to accommodate us. I can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu. This is how you have a sustainable business. Thank you.

You can only see the bar sign if you're driving by. The service at both the bar and at the JJ counter in the back were extremely fast and kind. They give you a buzzer so you can go sit down at the bar and relax while you wait for your food. The classic sandwich was so darn crispy and delicious, I simply can't get over it. I had a bite of my partner's Regina sandwich too, which had the most delicious vegan cole slaw salad on it of all time. I am drooling as I write this review and dying to go back. I could live on those mashed potato's as my eternal last meal. Whatever their ingredients are, it must contain magic, or maybe it's just the mushroom! The Bar has wonderful western vibes, and a pool table - although it is quite an interesting choice to host a vegan venue inside as there are taxidermy raccoons and other animals up on the wall LOL.

Though not huge, their menu is plant based with an assortment of brunch/lunch items like bowls, salads and interesting sushi, as well as smoothies and other drinks. If you're open to vegan food and uncommon items in a western diet, you'll enjoy it. The pad thai slaw and sushirito were delicious and well made and everything on the menu was inviting. The teas were lovely and I really enjoyed being able to select a blend of herbs for my tea mug. There was some herbal water available, and a selection of desserts on the counter and in the fridge - chocolatey delights like "snickers" bars. We found a corner next to the stage with two armchairs and a coffee table which was the coziest corner to sit and chat. Though it was Friday afternoon at lunch time and there were several other small groups, it never felt crowded and we were able to stay for a few hours enjoying our tea and meal. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, and non-intrusive. You order at the counter and then sit down, and we were not disturbed at all besides our meal being brought to us when it was ready. Parking is limited but at least they have a lot. It's a short walk into the main part of the town. They also occasionally host events. Looking forward to returning!

Additionally, the prices were super reasonable and are definitely more affordable than the average restaurant in the area.

There were also several picnic benches around the side of the building, but I wasn't clear if they belonged to the restaurant. You order at the register and they call out your name when your food is ready. They have a ton of vegan/vegetarian options, as well as a great breakfast/brunch menu. I ordered the egg and cheese biscuit. The cheddar jalapeño biscuit was delicious. It was buttery and dense. The flavors were mild, but the sandwich was the perfect portion size. I also got a side of the vegan bacon. It was rubbery and tough to chew. Would not recommend. My husband enjoyed the breakfast burrito. We also shared the buffalo cauliflower. The cauliflower pieces were well coated in buffalo sauce and very flavorful. I also got the Don't Kale Me juice. It was tangy, citrusy, and refreshing. The Deep Roots smoothie was also quite tasty. They have free self-serve water and the employees were quick to wipe down tables so they were clean for the next party. Looking forward to coming again!

Even though this was not a vegan dish, who could pass on a collosal cheese biscuit. The egg was a nice accompaniment to this cheese biscuit also. The lady that gave me the biscuits said, wow! That smells nice. I thought she was giving me a compliment on the order until I sniffed the bag. Normally I don't do well with my sense of smell but, boy oh boy!
