    Bruschetta with Garlic and Fresh Mozzarella

    The food was absolutely amazing! I have a dairy allergy and the wait staff provided excellent service when caring for my allergy. I had a vegan margherita pizza. My husband had a buffalo chicken, it was tasty but a bit spicy. My daughter had a cheese pizza. It was all excellent!

    My boyfriend and I were in town to go to Cedar Point and we were really craving pizza. Whenever we travel we like to try someplace new to us. Brick Oven Bistro didn't open until 4pm and we were craving lunch/dinner around 230 so we killed time until they opened. So worth it!!!! I ordered the Italian stallion personal pizza and my boyfriend got a build your own calzone. DELICIOUS. I will be thinking about that pizza every day until I go back! The size was perfect for me to have a midnight snack at the hotel later on. Service was friendly. We can't wait to go back!

    Buffalo Chicken

    We had a really lovely time at the brick oven bistro for dinner tonight! We came around 6:30 and it wasn't too busy so we were able to be seated right away. Our server, Dwayne, was so fun and made our meal even better by his quick quit And personable nature. I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza without onions or banana peppers and my nephew ordered the Italian stallion. My pizza was so delicious! I love the three cheeses that they use for all of their pizzas, *cue the cheese stretching reel*. It was the perfect balance of buffalo sauce and ranch dressing, I was originally concerned that the ranch dressing would be too overpowering, but it was phenomenal. I wish there would've been a little bit more chicken, but overall the pizza was great! My nephew also really loved his Italian stallion And we ended up finishing both of our pizzas! We left stuffed!!

    Whilst traveling to Sandusky I was able to discover this location. I discovered online that they had vegan cheese options. When traveling often it is hard to find vegan options last minute at night. The staff were very friendly and accommodating the chef noted that they use a soy based butter for many of their pizzas and he asked if I would like it. I have to say that there was ample parking around the establishment with handicap accessible parking immediately out front. I really enjoyed the vegan calzone however the size for the personal was extremely small and I expected something slightly larger. Overall I'll definitely check out this location again however I wish they offered plant-based/vegan meat to place in some of their dishes.

    We were visiting from the Kansas City area, where we have amazing dining options. We had not been overly impressed with the food we had found in the Sandusky area in the four days that we had been there and chose this place on our last day there based on reviews. The Brick Oven Bistro did not disappoint! They don't use the word in any of their marketing or menu, but the pizzas here can absolutely be described as "artisanal"! The dough is freshly made not frozen, the ingredients are fresh, it was simply amazing pizza! We also got a calzone and it was every bit as good and fresh as the pizza. Because everything is made fresh, it takes a little extra time, but it is well worth the wait! If you're in the Sandusky area, I can't recommend this place enough. The interior is clean, but not overly impressive. The food on the other hand...fantastic!

    The food was delicious, the waitress was attentive and friendly. We waited entirely way too long for dinner. It took over an hour to get our food.

    We picked this place due to some of the amazing reviews we read and it still exceeded our expectations. This restaurant is only a few minutes down the road from Cedar Point and has plenty of parking. We got there at about 6:30, were seated right away, and had our waiter at the table less than a minute later. They have an extensive beer and wine menu but since we were driving home after, we stuck to water. With 2 adults and 2 teens, we ordered 2 large pizzas to split. The kids had a large cheese and my husband and I had the meatball. So delicious. The sauce was really good and the basil on our pizza was a nice touch. Our server, Durond, was attentive, friendly, and a great conversationalist, despite being a Cleveland Browns fan (Go Steelers!) I'd recommend checking this place out. Whether you are local or just visiting, it has a nice ambiance, delicious food, and friendly people.

    Margherita Pizza

    Dinner tonight at The Brick Oven Bistro was awesome! It was our first visit and everything was excellent. We had a great server, Olivia! She was super friendly and very attentive. We had the zucchini fries, the personal size margherita pizza and I had the Pinot Grigio. We really enjoyed everything! I would definitely recommend!

    Eggplant pizza and the best stuffed mushrooms in the greater United States.  (Only half of a pizza because I was hungry - sorry!)
    Amy C.

    This is the best pizza i have ever had in my life. Eggplant pizza? Who would have thought? Delightful! The crust alone is the best anywhere. Smores calzone? Oh my goodness. Just a little piece of dough heaven right there. The service was perfection. Everyone was so nice. The first time I have ever been thanked for visiting a restaurant by everyone in the place. Kansas needs pizza like this! If you are ever in Sandusky Ohio, please put this gem of a restaurant at the top of your list. You will be really glad that you did.

    Service was very slow for it not being very busy. Food was delicious. Family friendly place.

    Shrimp Curry Pizza
    Courtney C.

    I visited Brick Oven Bistro on my own a few weeks ago and the staff and other patrons were very friendly and helpful. My server answered all of my questions and shared her favorite appetizers and pizzas since it my first time eating there. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms which were good but a little under seasoned and the Curry Shrimp pizza which was the weekly special and it was delicious! I'll definitely visit Brick Oven Bistro the next time I'm in Sandusky and I look forward to trying other items on the menu.

    Gluten free Pear Gorgonzolla
    Rebecca M.

    I give this place 4 stars for their service. When I called in the order the person taking it was insightful and knowledgeable with my gluten free request and pleasant. It was a busy night for them so my pizza was done in 30 min. I ordered the pear gorgonzola pizza on gluten free with no walnuts and arugula. I found it was over powered with onion so the next time I would order non or light onion. Other than that it was tasty. One size for gluten free and total was $16

It was a smaller store front, cozy and a hidden gem! The restaurant has so much personality, with years of awards proudly displayed throughout the dining room. Before the food even arrived, we knew we had found somewhere special. We started with the Bistro Onion Soup and the Red Pepper Lobster Bisque. French onion soup and lobster bisque are two of my all-time favorites, so my expectations were high. The Bistro Onion Soup absolutely delivered--rich, flavorful broth, perfectly tender onions, and an incredible blanket of melted cheese. Easily one of the best onion soups I've ever had. The Red Pepper Lobster Bisque was equally memorable. The sweetness of the roasted red peppers paired beautifully with the lobster, creating a unique twist that really worked. My husband and older son both ordered the Momma Mia. A spaghetti sandwich? We were intrigued! My son gave it a 9/10 and said it tasted like a lasagna sandwich. He'd order it again without hesitation. My youngest chose Ziggy the Piggy and declared it "the best sandwich I've ever had." That's high praise from a 10-year-old! He gave it a perfect 10/10, and the sandwich was nearly as big as his head. Honestly, reading the menu made us want to come back just to try everything else. Every item sounded delicious. What made the experience even better was the staff. They were warm, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. That kind of hospitality is hard to fake, and it made us feel right at home. If you're passing through--or even if you're not--Zuppaman is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

The place radiates friendliness and you truly feel like a regular when you walk in, warmly greeted right away and taken care of the entire duration of your meal. My family had returned after a long day of theme park food and I needed something lite - and their seasonal salad was just what I needed. It was a very generous portion with some of my the sweetest strawberries I've ever had with candied walnuts, feta cheese, and a delicious vinaigrette to go along with it. Skip the theme park dining when you can - or at the very least, supplement it with this delicious cuisine and friendly service.

For an appetizer, we ordered the wedge salad and the Buffalo Chicken dip. I got the perch dinner for my main course. The kid got a chicken sandwich and my wife got the brisket Mac n cheese. They said that the kitchen was backed up. Honestly, it was totally not an issue. We were just relaxing, watching the game and chilling after a 7 hour drive from NJ. What was an issue was...... appetizers came out exactly the and time as the main courses. WHY????????? It couldn't have taken that long to throw blue cheese, bacon and tomatoes on a chunk of lettuce and pump out the Buffalo Chicken dip and then worry about the main courses later. Now we have to decide, do we want to eat the entrees or even touch the appetizers. That alone always ruins everything. Food was very good. Like I said, people were very nice but you just can't bring everything out at once. Defeats the point of "starting" with something.

Pretty much this has really become my favorite place to grab some much needed sustenance when inside Cedar Point as the Foldovers are all really good and definitely unique as I haven't seen any other parks doing sandwiches like this! The crispy chicken one is delicious it's full of lettuce tomato crispy chicken and some ranch dressing to make it just that much better with that yummy Foldover bread which kinda resembles a pita bread and you know it just fits! The Italian one is also really good too as it's filled with Italian meats and some veggies with a vinaigrette to ad some more zest to something that's already yummy! The meatless sausage one thought is also definitely where it's at as it's also one of the best vegetarian options in the park this Foldover sandwich packs some flavorful goodness inside just get it and you'll see what I mean! They accept Dinning Pass here so definitely take advantage of that or don't forget to use your season pass for a discount off your purchase! The Foldovers come with fries or a side salad so just let them know and you'll be all good with your sandwich! They also have chicken tenders here but it's all about the folded goodness so just get one you'll be thankful you did! Overall delicious goodness inside the park you soo know I'll be coming here again soon for some Foldover yumminess!

I loved the relaxed vibe of the whole setup. It's super convenient how you just pop over to the outside window to place your order, and then grab your delicious food right by the bar.

Think snack bar at the roller rink or high school football game. Granted the menu is far from a snack bar and I do give them credit for aiming high with some pretty aspirational dishes. While other reviews suggest table service, that was not our experience. You ordered at the counter, given a pager, and fetched your food when the devices beeped incessantly. You buss your own table too. My wife ordered the lobster roll, which was rather competitively priced. Unfortunately, it was primarily filled with lettuce and tomatoes, with an OK amount lobster meat. She didn't care for the celery and green onion mixed in, not traditional lobster roll ingredients. I had the perch tacos, a first for me. Again, novel idea but lacking on execution. A few thin fish strips in each taco were more breading than fish. My wife couldn't have more than one sip of her cocktail and my IPA was warm. Anything waterside will have a natural appeal but the furniture and seating area is nothing more than a sidewalk. $61 for a serve yourself concession stand experience is more fitting for a stadium or sports arena.
