Food is good but the PIZZA was great. We ordered a few things (Apple dessert; to die for), Pepperoni pizza 10/10 would order again. Skip the sandwich it was average at best. Service was ok, nothing to brag about but we were there in the middle of the day so wasn't expecting anything great. Ambiance is good, typical pub atmosphere. Looks like a cool place to return on the weekend or HH! My advice order the pizza to go or stop in a for a pint! read more

I used to go to Pizza E Barra when they first opened a few years ago, back when I lived closer. It was a great spot then, and after having lunch there again recently, I can confidently add them back into my regular rotation of go-to places. Our server, Liv, was amazing from the moment she sat us down and went over the specials--we knew it was going to be a great experience. The menu is still very much Italian-themed and did not disappoint. The drink menu looked great, but I opted for a beer on tap. My sister went with the Cinco de Mayo margarita flight special, and my wife ordered a soda. We started with the buffalo wings and buffalo chicken egg rolls. I originally planned on getting the chicken bacon ranch pizza, but after some debate and consulting with Liv, she recommended The Giada--and she did NOT disappoint. My sister ordered the tacos, and my wife got The Alessia. The wings were just as good as I remembered--crispy, well-done, and delicious. The buffalo chicken egg rolls only got better with each bite. But the true star was The Giada. I was a bit unsure about the ricotta at first, but one bite changed everything. The creamy ricotta, the salty pepperoni, the kick from the hot honey--it was a full-on flavor symphony that didn't miss a beat. It was so good I ended up offering slices to other tables who overheard me raving about it! From the bar area, you can watch the chef work the wood-fired oven and absolutely crush these pizzas. The tacos were a sleeper hit--I would totally order those just to take home--and The Alessia is a great salad pizza that delivered on flavor. We even went for dessert, trying the brownie Liv recommended. Don't skip dessert--every option looked amazing. The dessert pizza is officially on my radar for next time. It's a cozy spot with good music, TVs showing local games, and an amazing staff that make it a complete experience. Huge shoutout to Liv for the excellent service and spot-on recommendations. 5/5 stars. read more

We decided to order Pizza E Birra on DoorDash tonight, having eaten at the restaurant in the past and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, this experience was a bit of a disappointment compared to our previous visits. We ordered the chicken vodka pizza, pasta fagioli soup, and the vodka Parmesan sandwich, but found that almost everything lacked the punch we were expecting. The sandwich was surprisingly flavorless, and the pasta fagioli soup was quite bland. While the pizza did have a great crust, the overall flavor was just okay and didn't quite hit the mark. We know how great the food here can be, but this time around, everything felt a bit under-seasoned. read more

Food was delicious. Filet mignon egg rolls were a great appetizer. Thoroughly enjoyed my vodka parmesan foccacina and my husband's prosciutto pizza was very good too. Service was great as well. read more

Kind of torn to go the taco route or the pizza route. The oven in background decided, plus leftovers help hah. For a personal pan pizza it was kind of on the larger side, so for the giada the crust was cooked just right, not burnt or on a undercooked doughy side, both cheese were evenly spread, pepperoni was generous and not burnt. The added mushrooms and Sopressata added more flavor and never hurts to have Mike's hot honey drizzled on pizza. Considered getting the leap lizard wings but tangy does not match well with sweet and spicy. Have to try more of the menu on another visit, like where the taco side will take me. read more

The place is nice. Service was a little slow on a Tuesday. Wings were really small and i had to place two orders because i couldn't mix the flavors on a big order. The price was a bit much for just 2 appetizers 2 beers 1 soda and a dessert. I wouldn't go back. read more

Food was excellent but the service received from our server, Maddy really made the night! Have eaten there many times and will definitely be back. read more

Everything is great about this place the food, the music, the workers, the wine, the drinks, the cocktails, the location I don't know where to stop. There is a very good selection of oven made pizza. Very delicious. The pasta is really good. There's a whole section of chicken breasts with different variety of sides and ways. Everything is just very delicious. Bar is nice and plenty of seating plus outside patio seating. You almost miss it if you're not paying attention. Past Texas Roadhouse but to your right if you're driving east. On 211 sharing driveway with the beauty supply place. read more

This review is based on two dinners and a number of other times I tried (and failed) to have dinner. I'll start with the positive: my first time here, about a year ago, I had a memorable meal. Delicious Negroni cocktail mixed to perfection and poured over a single large ice cube in a rocks glass, and a lovely fig pizza and mussels dish. Our pizza had this perfectly crispy crust and tasty toppings. I stayed thinking of that pizza for weeks afterwards. I enjoyed the meal so much I tried several times over the past year to try the place again, but their hours posted online are very inaccurate. It says they close at 10 pm on weekdays and 11 pm on weekends, but often I'd show up and 9 or 9:30 and be shooed away by the staff wrapping up. This last time I went will be the last time I go. This time I arrived around 8:30pm and although we did get a table, the back dining room was already being cleaned - chairs were already up on the tables, someone was mopping, and the restaurant smelled like cleaning products. I worked in restaurants for 8 years in a past life. It's a no-no to visibly do closing duties while any guest is there. I should have taken this as a sign to leave but, determined to get that perfect crust pizza and Negroni, I stayed. Though the menu is the same as I remember, it seems management has changed. The Negronis are now up instead of on the rocks and served lukewarm in tacky martini glasses, hardly giving the more chic experience I had on my first visit. I asked the server for my Negroni Sbagliato. She did not know what I meant but didn't ask, so she just ordered a regular Negroni. We ordered the lentil salad and the funghi pizza, which was supposed to have truffle oil. The salad was bland and reminded me of a diner salad. Hardly any flavor and the dressing is from a bottle. The pizza was sparse in toppings and flavor, there was no trace of truffle oil at all, so we were disappointed. Worst of all, the crust was undercooked, consistent with every other sign that the staff wanted to be done with the shift and get out before 10pm. While we were eating our food, a server who had already finished cleaning the back dining room came to our section in the front to sweep right beside us. Another no-no! TL;DR: food and drinks were underwhelming and inauthentic. Service is uninterested. Ambiance is unwelcoming. read more

Will miss dining from Pizza E Burris as I no longer work in the area. Usually ordered lunch takeout for 12 people. Food was always fresh, tasty, and prepared with care! Salad portions were not generous, but always filling. Great menu and staff. Wish there was a location in my area. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I ate here by myself and sat at the bar. I was promptly greeted by a delightful bartender named Mia who provided me with descriptions of several specialty cocktails they offered. I ended up getting just a soda since I was driving. I ordered the Arancini, which is a fried ball of rice filled with meat and peas served over red tomato sauce with shaved cheese. It was absolutely delicious! The bartender was extremely attentive and friendly from start to finish. The seating area and bar area were both extremely clean and the music is set at the perfect level so you can easily hear what anyone near you is saying. Overall, this is a great local spot and I am glad I found it. They are located next to Burger King on RT 211 in Middletown. They also have a nice outside seating area for when it is nice out. read more

This is a very trendy looking place. They have tents set up and inside seating. A regular pizza is actually a small pizza. The inside was extremely clean. Masks are worn but a lot of below the nose users. Not a good thing. The pizza and crust was awesome. The calzone was amazing and both have amazing variety of varieties. The calamari app was fantastic but watch out for the hidden breaded jalapeños. Good for family or casual dates. Plenty of beer choices read more

I had dinner with a group of friends. I ordered some boneless wings along with a pizza. The wings were horrible. Way too much breading and hardly any meat. They were the size of a nugget and over cooked. The second batch was just as bad. It was probably overcooked due to the amount of breading used. read more

Picked up a pizza only to get home to see that it looks absolutely sad. It is supposed to have ricotta.. there are 5 little not even quarter sized dollops.. Thought I'd try this place. Not worth the $15 for the pizza. Will not be back. read more

Great menu and ambience with plenty of outdoor seating! The salads, pizzas, and foccacina sandwiches are delicious. The live entertainment was incredible - Rachel Berkman and Anthony Lorino. I gave 4 stars because the service was a bit slow and everyone's food was ready at different times. read more

We were told by our waiter that the owners also own the planet wings next door so if you are in the mood go next door for wings and save money! Okay so this is my second time here and I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned inconsistencies. The atmosphere was great! Good music, everyone was so nice on the staff! However the restaurant itself from the dirty silverware, to the sticky table, even sharing plates given to us with food still stuck on it, and the dirty sticky menus gave off a bit of an unclean vibe. The food was just okay with the fresh mozzarella tasting like store bought. My pizza was supposed to have caramelized onions but they just added soggy white raw onion but it was still okay overall. They do use a wood fired oven for the pizzas so the crust is delicious! Also not a deal breaker but was shocked that when I asked for a side of bbq sauce we were given a pre made packaged side of bbq similar to what you would purchase at a cafeteria. For dessert we tried the s'mores martini special and it tasted like a cheap vodka that's so sharp it burns going down. The freshly roasted marshmallow topper was great though. Overall I think the scenery is meant to be a nicer restaurant but the food and cleanliness is just planet wings/ fast food quality with a higher price tag for ambiance. read more

A very nice atmosphere. Well designed outdoor seating. When their food is good it is good. They unfortunately, are not consistent with their food. My Cobb Salad this evening was skimpy on the mixed greens. But, had a good portion of toppings. I have had in the past had toppings missing. When they are good it is really good. I can say the same for the pizza. read more

Really disappointed in the preparation of our food. Ordered the raft with fries... steak was dry, flavorless and seemed to be old. The fries were soggy and under cooked. The calamari and the crispy balls were half raw. The pepperoni pizza was truly delicious.. I called the restaurant back to express my disappointment and I must say they were extremely apologetic and professional. Because of their excellent customer service I will patronize them again.. Must state again, the pizza was outstanding.. read more

I was very excited to try this place because of the stellar reviews and the craft beer selection. The pizza is good, could have better ingredients though. I had the pizza with fries on top, with sausage and mozzarella. The fries kind of ruined it because they were the run of the mill frozen fries. I hoped for home made thin cut fries or something to that effect. Service was very friendly, and they got us out promptly when we said we were going to catch a movie . One thing that is excellent is the zucchini appetizer. They thinly shred zucchini , lightly batter it and fry it . A squeeze of lemon and it is perfect! I originally gave this place3 stars-and my husband always wants to come in for a beer and food before a movie- I really wanted to like it. I've tried everything from pasta to wings, salads to pizza. The pizza is very bland-no salt in the dough and the toppings are just plopped on-no seasonings. The wings are teeny-tiny, and the salad is just ok. I wish they would try harder with their sauces-the pasta tastes imported for sure-but if the sauce is no good what's the point? It seems as if they put out food very fast, without much care. I'm hoping for improvement because there is no craft brew place close by. read more

We visited the Middletown location on Valentine's Day. We arrived at 8:45 and asked what time the kitchen would be closing. They informed us that the last order was about 9:20-9:30pm. Which was perfectly fine by us. At 9 pm I asked our waiter (who was amazing) if we can order a pizza. After couple minutes later he comes back to inform us that the guy who makes the pies cleaned up and punched out for the night. This is NOT our first time coming to this location. Multiple time we arrived at 8-9 and never had an issue ordering. We watched the "pizza guy" clean the oven and stick around until 9:45. It was pretty clear that he did NOT what to make that pie cuz he already cleaned up and didn't want to clean it again. We both have busy work schedules and tried very to celebrate Valentine's Day together. It was really disappointing that we couldn't enjoy a pizza that day. That was the whole reason we came in the first place. A place that literally has "pizza" in their name did not serve any that night. read more

Really good! We always have a good time when we go alone or with the kids. Menu is great all around, and service is good.

Consistently high quality food, however the shrimp in the shrimp tacos was a bit hard to find. They're in the process of expanding so that's a good thing. Three stars until I eat there again and see if the portion sizes improve. Just refreshed the interior looks good read more

Cozy, upbeat, colorful, and great food. Great menu with a lot of good pizza choices, appetizers, and special items made in house. Ordered a margherita pizza, italian sausage pizza, and the famous pizza e birra nachos and was not disappointed. We've come back multiple times for their food, both times take out and the food was delicious. The first time we came the order that we called in was never made, but the staff upon learning that huslted and got two pizzas and a nachos out in 15 mins. Impressive! Definitely recommend calling ahead, but eating in looks to be great. Start of at a full service bar in the front of the restaurant and end at a table getting a fresh brick fired pizza. Ingredients taste great, meats are flavorful, and veggies are all fresh. It's a new place in Middletown and seems to be doing great. We'll be back and if your'e in the area it's definitely worth a try read more
