    We were very impressed by Malawis! The restaurant was clean, including the outdoor seating, the staff was friendly, and we got our pizza rather quickly. The ingredients all tasted fresh (I don't typically like tomatoes but really enjoyed the bruschetta on the chicken bacon ranch pizza). We were very impressed by the quality! If you are a fan of wood fired pizza, you'll be a fan of Malawis.

    Place was empty on a Saturday in July. Odd, but the whole mall, was empty. We had the place to ourselves and they've redone the place. It's smaller than it used to be. The veggie pizza was okay. Lacking in flavor. I added crushed red pepper but it needed more. The Malawi pizza was more flavorful. We do like the thin crusts, but I'll have to try a different pizza next time. Their lunch specials were nice because it came with a side salad but if you look at the photo, they put the salad on a plastic lid. Since the remodel the restaurant feels more fast-dining compared to before the remodel. Not sure when the remodel happened, it's been awhile since our last visit.

    Malawi's Pizza was good. They where really fast cooking the pizzas and getting them to us. This is a more fancy type of pizza so it might be for everyone. My kids disliked the five cheese pizza. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice.

    Now if you are looking for some cheap good pizza go to Costco because this is definitely more gourmet. However, if you are looking for more than just a average pizza come to this place and give it a try. I usually get one of the signature pizzas but during this trip I was with a toddler so I stuck to just cheese. Either way it was still delicious. I won't go here without grabbing a breadstick and ranch. It's my favorite part of the meal. I also love that you are doing some good when buying a meal there.

    Malawi's is a good pick when out for pizza. They downsized and reduced the menu, but still have some great options for the family. We get the meal combo that comes with a personal pizza and side salad. The BBQ Chicken and Pesto Chicken pizza are flavorful. Wife enjoys their plain cheese and bread sticks. A meal purchased here will be matched for a child in Malawi, Africa. They changed up the design completely when they downsized, making it feel like a fast food chain when dining in.

    So I technically would do a two star review because of the following two reasons: I'm a picky pizza toppings person and when it comes to a Margherita pizza, I find that most places don't put enough basil on it. So I made sure to stress this point with them and asked they put extra basil on it. Unfortunately, they didn't and the BBQ chicken pizza we got was basically burnt on the crust to the point you couldn't enjoy the flavor. However, due to the cause they are a part of, the friendly and happy seeming staff, and nice casual interior, I decided to give them a 3 star rating. I would have loved to do 4 stars but I just can't get past those two reasons. On the other hand, each pizza was pretty tasty. The chicken bacon ranch was delicious and decent. The fresh parsley on the BBQ with the onions and sauce was a surprise of blended flavor in the mouth. The BBQ sauce also wasn't over powering. The sauce for the Margherita was an almost perfect flavoring. The pizza dough is the perfect thickness and you don't feel like you have a dinner roll left over for the actual crust part. Lol I will be willing to try them again but I think it may be a good idea to make sure the pizza isn't burnt, or that the extra toppings were added before serving the pizza to the customer. It would have made this a great experience instead of an okay experience.

    Changing from two stars to five. Originally I wasn't enjoying the pizza first time. But they've gone a lot better and I've learned to order what they are best for. Every time I come in the owner has called me and welcomed me back. Very friendly and very comfortable place to be. Just don't order the margarita pizza or it will fall apart. Instead go with the barbecue chicken and you will not be led astray. Also the lunch special is really nice. It comes with a drink and a small salad. A perfect size lunch

    They had super good salt. Highly recommend. Margarita pizza is my fav. Will come back. Come here because it's good. Also loved the tree inside. Very nice people.

    Bread twist
    Erin L.

    The bread twists were really good, I especially love the grain side with the ranch. The chicken bacon ranch pizza was better than the pepperoni, but my son ate the entire pepperoni so both were really good. They bought out the pizzas within a matter of minutes because they were cooked right from the wood fire pizza oven. They were offering a limited pumpkin dessert pizza which took longer because they had to pull that from the freezer/fridge to thaw it. It was quite tasty drizzled in Carmel syrup.

    I haven't been here for over a year, I went here with a few friends for lunch today and it was AWESOME! We all got their lunch special that was $10 it included a pizza, salad and drink! The pizza came out looking just like the picture and tasted amazing! The Manager Mark even let us try the strawberry Carmel dessert, it was so yummy. The food presentation and the Employees were friendly! I definitely won't wait another year to go back, I will be going a couple times a month! Thanks guys for an amazing lunch!!!!

    Malwai's is pretty good. I would not say it is the best pizza in the workd but it is relatively good. Theg also have pretty good salads, pastas in desserts. Would not be my first choice for pizza, but definitely a top choice when in the Riverwoods. The atmosphere here is pretty cool with the tree in the middle, the african inspired art pieces ans they have a few tvs hanging up as well.

    Wow. This is my second time to visit here. Foods are fresh and delicious and staffs are kind. Every meal you buy, they donate a nutritious meal to a child in Malawi, Africa

    First time here and it was decent! We liked that it was an order and sit down restaurant…read more The service was just okay. The two works at the cash register seemed to care more about talking to each other than the customers. Especially because we shared it was our first visit and asked for recommendations. They were vague and not super helpful but that's okay. The unlimited salad bar was a little underwhelming. Some of the toppings seemed not very fresh and like they had been sitting out for a few hours. I also wish they had spinach as a lettuce option. I also wish they had hard boiled eggs, ham/chicken, bacon, etc. it would be more worth the price. I don't I would get this again unless they added some better items. The small plate is not worth $10. The garlic knots were nice and cheesy. They were very fresh and a nice starter. We both wished they had more seasoning/garlic. It tasted more like just the butter and cheese. If I order garlic knots, I want and expect, a lot of garlic. The chicken bacon pizza we ordered was nice and fresh. It didn't have a lot of cheese though and the ranch (which was the sauce) needed some more flavor. It had decent flavor overall, but with more cheese and seasonings, it would be better. The crust/pizza bread itself was delicious! I would definitely come back and the pepperoni pizza to give them a second chance!

    My Gf and I visited this place and needless to say they're absolutely great! We ordered their large…read morepepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni. It was very good.

    Well, we're old, and we've been coming to Brick Oven (or Heaps, as it was once called) for almost…read more60 years, and I have to say, something is changing. Historically we've always had great food here, and we haven't been for a few months, but we were here just the other night with family for a graduation party, and almost everyone on our party commented the same way - "it isn't what it used to be". I don't know if it's changed ownership, or what has happened, but the quality of the food has gone downhill. I had the all-you-can-eat soup, salad, pasta bar. I always love their chicken noodle soup, but this time it was watery and not creamy like it's always been, and the flavor was entirely different. The salad bar was good, but their traditional green ranch dressing is no more, and all they use now is cheap, white, runny ranch dressing. The pasta bar was fair, but the selection of the sauces, I felt, was poor, and the marinara sauce that I settled on for my only trip thru was very watery. My wife ordered a small pizza, and it wasn't great. Very dry, hardly any sauce. Our server was great, no problem there, and the atmosphere is still good here, but their food quality is declining, and THAT'S what we come here for. Feels like they're cheaping out here. Pick it up, Brick Oven!

    This is one of those pales that has grown out of tradition and do somethings really well while…read moreother things are kind of mediocre. But everyone goes here or brings out-of-towners because it's someplace they went to as kids or BYU students. The pasta bar is very good with great sauce or gravy (if your from back east) options. Every cause I tried was great. Good Italian sausages and meatballs too. People rave about the freshly made garlic bread but I found it rather ordinary and more or less like we make at home, maybe we make better garlic bread at home than most people? But I was not impressed after all the hype. Great house-made root beer. Great Salad bar. Here is where opinions and tastes really matter, everyone told us how great the pizza was, we ordered three to go after our meal to take home. I was disappointed in all of them. Yeah, they are better than grocery store pizza but with the level of praise these good I was expecting something like Mellow Mushroom or high heat wood fired pizza. I found the dough too thick and ready and lacking in any buttery or crispy edges. The toppings were not special, canned or generic brands of meats you get at any grocery store deli counter. Maybe in the past it was once fresher and les from cans. The sauce was surprisingly lacking, if you are the kind of person who likes pizza that's really just bread with some cheese on it this will be your speed, one of my daughters doesn't like pizza sauce of any kind and she likes this pizza. For mee ti was way too thinly applied and with the really heavy cheese they use I felt like I was easting over priced cheese bread. The cheese itself was not the traditional mozzarella, it was some kind of blend that had a Gouda or goat cheese taste, some may love that but for me it was a turn off, maybe because I wasn't expecting it. The decor is fun and interesting and service was really good but over all for the price I was disappointed. Stick to the salad bar and pasta and you'll be very happy.
