    Finally found true New York style pizza in Texas. This is as close as I would find in Manhattan it in Abilene.

    My daughter was very happy in this picture

    At First the place looked sketchy. But we were STARVING so we went anyways. The person working was very nice and I loved their accents. The Food displayed looked delicious but the salad bar on the other hand looked a little bit scary it looked soggy and nasty! We they brought the food it was nice and hot! We went took a bite our eyes sparkled with delight!! Everything was delicious especially the bread! Thank you Joes!!!

    Stuffed crust "meat lovers" pizza

    I guess it's my fault for ordering this, because I apparently misinterpreted both "stuffed" and "meat lovers." I thought I was getting the perimeter of the crust stuffed with cheese and the pizza itself mounded with meat. As it turns out, all I got was "less than half the meat" sprinkled lightly between two layers of crust. I'm not sure how they define "meat lovers," but you can see in the photo there's very, VERY little meat, and what meat is present is some kind of ground meat (hamburger or sausage?), no pepperoni, and no ham. It's all bread. And I paid almost $27 for something that most have cost them $2 to make. I have way too many options in ordering good pizza in Abilene without overpaying for a horribly over-priced and thinly-topped pile of bread. I won't make this mistake again. Very disappointed.

    My family and I came here for a late lunch. The staff is very friendly. We all ordered different slices of pizza, calzones and a Stromboli. They were all so delicious and very flavorful. The pizza was nice and crispy on the bottom and they don't scrimp on toppings. They have granulated garlic on the tables which is a bonus to me. The place was clean with an nice atmosphere. I would certainly come here again to eat.

    Pep with mushroom.  Delicious

    Not grading the dining room. Not grading the wait staff…read more Only grading the pizza. It was gas. Sometimes one star reviews scare you away... and sometimes they accidentally leave more pizza for the rest of us.

    It's time to update my review again. Brick Oven has made me really go back and forth on my opinion…read moreof them over the years. Is it the best pizza I've ever had, no. Although, it's a unique spot that a lot of people enjoy. A crisp, crunchy crust with fresh toppings! I still love their quesadillas! Really happy with their salad portion size and the almonds as an addition to the house salad. Price for the portion size and quality of their pizzas is still out of range in my opinion. I've had a lot of mixed feeling about their food over the years, and usually don't feel inclined to go back. Our waitress brought our check at the beginning of our meal and to go boxes as well, which is proactive of course, but we felt rushed and confused. We never got to even state that our checks were separate, not together. Our appetizer was brought after we received our meal which was stated to be a mishap with a new chef, but we were not asked if we even wanted it at that point. We were also charged the full price instead of the lunch menu price for it as it should've been. Honestly, it would've been honorary to not be charged for it at all under the circumstances. It was just strange. We all have our off days, but it just added to my distaste for Brick Oven. I wish I had a consistently great experience with them! Here's to hoping for better experiences! Maybe it's just not my cup of tea.

They have multiple crusts to choose from including a gluten free option. They also had many different sauces including a spicy red sauce which i had. I also chose shredded mozzarella and asked them to go light, which they did perfectly. They have lots of toppings as well. If you don't want to design your own they have quite a few pre set options as well. After your done they toss it in the oven and serve it to you just a few short minutes later. The best part is you pay one price even if you choose every topping there is! All the pizzas are 10 inch single serve pizzas but filling. I ate half. Definitely wish we had one of these back home!

    I'll start with the bad, then finish with the good. Short…read morestory? I'll be back. But... Luigi's Little Italy needs to up their game on fried appetizers. Being our first visit, we tried to sampler so that we could experience 3 of the apps at once. The calamari, mozzarella sticks and "toasted" ravioli all seemed to be fried in the same batter, and the same oil. I would question the quality of the items even before frying.... and the frying didn't help their cause. I ate one bland, not-so-fresh tasting calamari ring, one bite of a mozzarella stick and one bite of the ravioli. The rest of the appetizer went home to the dog. I mean, this place is dated, and this I knew before eating. Which is fine--I think many of us have a need to experience the nostalgia of the Italian restaurants of yesteryear. Rubber grapes hanging from the ceilings, painted images of Italy on the wall. Unchanged from when I was a teenager in Western NY and we would go out for Italian; the decor and menu seem to be the same. But the quality of ingredients needs to be current. We have come to expect better! A lot of Italian places are doing more creative things, with better calamari. Appetizers such as burrata and carpaccio are present on modern Italian menu's. If you are going to stick with the old stuff, it needs to be GREAT. Okay, enough of the negativity. The Chicken Florentine ordered by my companion was very good. The sauce was nice, flavorful, and not too heavy (although perhaps too generous but that's going back to the dated thing). I have a sampler of stuffed pastas, and the red sauce was very much to my liking. A touch of sweet, not too acidic, just the way I like sauce to be. They have a decent wine selection. I didn't try the desserts. I'm quite a cannoli purist...and I hate to be disappointed, so I didn't risk it. Overall--we'll be back. We'll be back for the friendly and consistent service, the generally good food (skip the fried stuff), and the kitschy ambience.

    Stopped in today for lunch and it was phenomenal. Kim was our waitress and she answered all our…read morequestions and was very attentive. We started with the stuffed mushrooms and ended up asking that she leave the bowl so we could dip into the cheese that it came in. I ordered the baked pasta sampler (lasagna, baked ziti, manicotti) and my husband got the Stromboli. They were both delicious! Sorry no pictures, (phones put away while eating). I got a house salad with my plate, but didn't care for it. It was basically a bowl full of lettuce (2 small cubes of tomato and 2 slivers of purple onion). Would love to come back and try another dish. The restaurant was clean (a little dark) and so were the restrooms.
